Maybe it is just because I am a grouch who hates people, but it seems like it must be exhausting to spend so much of your time worrying that people like you. And not just certain people: everyone. And then having a melt down when it turns out that, in a country of some 320 million people, some of whom you’ve spent

If you create and repeat a lie enough times it becomes the truth. That’s been their M.O. all along, taken straight from the Goebbels playbook.

I think you’re crediting him with way too much knowledge and intelligence.

Right?? For a feminist site, the writers sure do like to take catty swipes at women.

She’s not allowed to acknowledge her white privilege and feel afraid for her black daughter = says another white woman with privilege.

Ugh thank you. This just struck me as so heartless. Don’t we have enough legitimately horrible people to be angry with?

In 2011, Kristin Davis adopted Gemma Rose Davis. In 2016, Davis realized that her whiteness only protects her and not her daughter. Great.

Baldwin’s reaction is like that republican lady who got all mad at Ana Navarro for saying pussy on the news when she was quoting Donald Trump - same misdirection, same reduction of the word to the single, most recent instance of it’s use while blatantly ignoring the referenced, and far more significant, use.

As a Michigan resident who is a teacher, my college students are already not reading or writing at the levels that they should be. FUCK Rick Snyder, so excited for the 2018 election.

I’m an NC resident and I’ve been unhappy with McCrory for at least the last year. I was pleasantly surprised to wake up the day after the election to hear he lost - the state went Republican in just about every other contest - which should show you how popular he is. It seems so ridiculous to me too because I would

Democrats play by the rules, it’s our biggest weakness.

Yes, I heard 5 minutes of that incest case and asked myself why the FCC fined Janet’s wardrobe malfunction but craziness like this, Jerry Springer and Maury’s paternity tests are just fine during daytime hours when children could see them?

It reminds me a lot of Frasier Crane. I totally understand the impulse to think “I could do a lot of good for people... in a way that also gets me lots of money and attention.” But it’s very much the impulse of a deluded ego in like 99% of cases.

I always disliked reality tv as I’m too anxious to watch people compete viciously or be publicly humiliated, so I used to hyperbolically say “reality tv will be the end of us all!” just to rib my friends who love the real housewives.

Apparently in this country, if someone appears on tv they hold more expertise than people with degrees, training, and experience.

I’ve been a bit surprised by the reaction to Doctor Phil. Like, this was the final straw? When did people hear about Dr. Phil? Yesterday? He’s been a piece of shit for a long, long time. Whatever other gifts she has, Oprah has consistently shown herself to be a fairly poor judge of character.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the polls were correct but they caused enough complacency that people just didn’t turn out. Both sides got less votes than the last election, the difference was that Trump only lost ~500k while Hillary was down ~5m.

Trump will appoint Don Jr., who will serve as SEC chair while simultaneously acting as CEO of Trump International. Trump International will end up being the most profitable corporation on Earth. Dems will scream about conflict. The Republicans will turn it into a screaming match about ISIS. Nothing will be done. Louis

I feel like this is just how we are these days.

“It’s a big thing that’s present in the white liberal community. That, “I’m talking about it so I’m doing something.” No, you’re just talking about it. And you’re talking about it usually to other white liberals. You’re not really doing anything here. Talking is not action. Don’t just look at what you say. Look at how
