Trump’s outfit is fine. Melania’s choice in footwear is the opposite of fine. For reference, here’s Obama in his disaster surveying gear. Of all the things he’s done related to Harvey, his choice of clothes is far and away the least offensive.
That was the most unanticipated boning by two of the most pouty milquetoast characters on this show. I nearly fell asleep. That might just be me though.
I don’t know if I think it’s the shitiest, but it’s among the most alarming. The reason for the institutional respect for the presidency that has built up over the years is the shared assumption that the president is a decent person, or at least has enough wherewithal and self-control to PLAY as a decent person, and…
What pisses me off most about President Dipshit inserting himself in this story is that per his proposed healthcare reform, the children suffering like that here at home would be left to die while their parents are saddled with a copious amount of medical debt.
Omg I’m a WOC of color and this “article” was the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. Someone who has probably almost always been in position of blindness realizes they’ve been blind is being chastised for clumsily describing her experience? That’s fucking insane.
Right on, thank you. I don’t remember how old I was when I started getting clued in, but I definitely have friends I’ve pointed things out to who really just hadn’t thought of it before. And a lot of it, sexism wise, anyway, is that a lot of things just seem normal when you grow up with it. Being commented on or…
I noticed that: the consistent hitting on the ‘they,’ ‘them,’ and ‘theirs.’ It’s not just enough to call us leftists or progressives: we are a faceless, nameless horde now. This sort of dehumanization of the opposition, especially in regards to groups that employ force, is a red flag. And it’s going to get worse: I…
Jezzies, I’m sorry to bring down SNS with negativity, but I have to rant about something that has been bothering me for quite some time now.
Thank god they’ve got excellent health care!
Like, he literally said on national tv that that’s why he fired him. I’m totally confused why we’re still discussing whether that happened instead of his supporters just saying we shouldn’t care. It’s like with the torture all over again. You know the Bush supporters in that debate were pro-torture, but they also kept…
If the person who can fire you begins a statement with “I hope you can” 99.9% of the population knows that really means “Do this or you’re fired” and we know this is what Trump meant BECAUSE THEN HE FIRED HIM FOR NOT DOING IT.
Also, yes, to paraphrase Comey, if this was just cluelessness and not a deliberate abuse of power why the fuck would trump send everyone out of the room before asking him for loyalty or whatever the fuck? Jesus Christ I know the dude is incompetent and tapes his clothes together and throws a hissy fit every 48 hours…
I am completely unable to defend my position in even a friendly debate. I have some leftover kicked-puppy syndrome from my parents’ divorce, so I’d rather just “agree to disagree” even if I think the other person is an asshole. I have friends who are religious and/or conservative and we have things we fundamentally…
‘What are you thinking?’ this one drives me batty, too.
Yes, I struggle with the shutting down, too. Even if it isn’t an attack, but rather a heated discussion. Like with a partner who is mad at me. Or maybe I’m equally mad, and we’re trying to talk about it—-but I just shut down. My mind goes blank, except for a an incessant mantra rattling my skull: “I want this to…
Whether or not one can hold onto political beliefs in which there are two opposing sides and still also hold onto love, compassion, and spiritual precepts (sorry: California reporting). This has come up for me quite a lot, politically, lately. When I perceive (through my own filters, no doubt) that someone takes a…
No, he wants to dismantle everything that happened under Obama. Good, Bad? He wants to erase the legacy of the Obama administration.
I’m surprised not to see OKCupid, Tinder, or Ashley Madison receive a shout-out, here. A main reason for jitters in this modern era is the same as it was for me when I attended a university with a larger population than my natal city (that is, 40,000 students, most of them on the make): the marketplace of romantic…
