I think you’re partially correct. After 9/11 there was certainly an uptick in hostility towards Arabs and Arab-looking people. But we still somehow managed to not put them all in camps.

Hate to break it to you, but this is the delivery service of the future. One day there won’t be traditional TV at all, just streaming services.

Then Pence gets to enact his even worse policies.

I wonder how much of it is fuelled by worry what people will think of her, the mother, that her child turned out trans. Which is kind of hilarious to me because in this instance, I imagine, the daughter is likely to use a different surname and not associate herself to the mom at ALL, so calm the fuck down lady, nobody…

I also don’t understand why this is a curse. Cunts, among other things, get fucked, and facilitate the birth of babies. A dick, on the other hand, is a much better insult for somebody forcefully ramming themselves where people do not want them. Why is dick so much softer a curse than cunt???

If they believe in the Rapture, then they want all Jews to return to Israel, because Christ can’t return unless that happens (according to them). So they want to make Israel an attractive place for Jews to live while making America a terrible place for Jews to live. This is a fringe opinion, but the return to Israel…

I think it would depend on how much Trump or whatever hypothetical Republican candidate doubled down on antisemitism and appealing to antisemites. I’m not sure how much they could do that without calling into question their support of Israel, but I’m also not sure if Trump’s racist base would care about Israel at all.…

“everyone is thrilled about Trump, because they think he will revive the oil patch.”

I’m uncertain if “posthumously” has a legal meaning I don’t know, but the idea of Trump trying to change the law from beyond the grave is very funny to me.

The standard for conservative white men is shockingly low.

Uh? He’ll just forced protestors into free speech zones, like Bush did. Miles away from where he can see them.

Waaay back in 2008, when Hillary and Obama were both in the primaries, I thought, if either of them becomes President, the other won’t be able to run. Because I believed, and still do, that the bigots of America would never tolerate 4-8 years of a black president, and then allow a woman to take the office, and vice…

For real. I’m sure America will be fine, mostly because Trump has no actual policies to enact - though I am quite worried about his interactions with other foreign leaders. Also, that was kind of the problem with W, and one of the reasons we’re kind of looking back on W as “harmless” compared to Trump - the real jerk…

Hitler gained support by speaking in taverns, and was written off by the educated “elite” who thought, if we just ignore him, he’ll go away. A lot of people thought exactly the same thing about Trump.

So... you want to force this boy to use a girl’s bathroom then?

“being poor” in the USA isn’t a valid reason not to have a valid will”

I saw a bunch when I was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, of all places. But there were lots of American missionaries in Edinburgh, though the only ones I personally encountered were Baptists and Mormons, and they did not give me Chick tracts. I would always find the Chick tracts on the ground on the Cowgate, where a…

For real. This isn’t hard.
