Sessions only cares for one State Right: the state right to own slaves. The rest is just hippy bullshit.

I want to yell this little monologue at him. The bad things you do are you, and you can’t do shitty things and think that feeling bad exonerates you.

But redemption doesn’t just come from saying “sorry, am I good now?” It’s a process that takes time and only comes when someone has actually worked to better themselves.

I’m not going to dismiss this one. Where exactly did I say making amends is impossible? It’s impossible for one to make amends from a place that isn’t completely genuine and emphasizing one’s own comfort is inherently disingenuous.

Yeah the pushback given to commenters here who thought Franken should go (about three accusers in) was telling. I did a little digging throughout the shittier replies at the time and surprise surprise, most of the people hectoring and lecturing about how misguided the call for Franken’s exit was were dudes. Not…

I agree! I think they started to touch on this when the kid was at school and the other kids would ignore her because they knew her mom would be watching, but I was hoping they’d go in the direction of what a society would look like with a generation that had grown up not being exposed to stress/danger/unpleasantness.…

Firstly, thank you so much for writing and sharing this, and “When Can I Say I’ll Be Alone Forever?” I don’t think I’ve personally identified more with any other posts on this entire site than these.

“ Many of the people in fading, poor, forgotten counties who voted for Trump could just as easily be persuaded to vote for a left-wing candidate if that candidate were able to demonstrate a real understanding of their problems”

We’re in this watershed moment and it’s great but I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole s—-load of guys — the preponderance of men I’ve worked with — who don’t do this kind of thing and whose lives aren’t going to be affected,”

One of the many sad, infuriating things about all of this, is how many women; actresses, directors, producers and writers, left the business because of Swinestein and the men like him? How many great stories have we missed out on?

“What if they’re not true?”

And I’m sure the last thing we’d want to do is give a troll the attention they seek by repeatedly posting about them in every single story... OR... crazy idea... you just let people use their common sense to quietly ignore/report trolls and let the site admins take care of things.

I will continue to say this until I’m dead. Hillary Clinton had the best environmental plan I ever saw. As someone with a Master’s in the discipline, I was always disgusted by how awful and ignorant most politicans’ plans were. Even Democrats. Even Green Party. Clinton’s blew my mind. It would have worked. It would…

You mean that due process where they signed an agreement that stated neither lied for financial gain, meaning that Depp accepted that he abused Heard?

Haven’t you heard? Only the judgment of a court of law matters. Public opinion is nothing! NOTHING!

“she’s ‘genuinely happy’ to have Depp in the movie.”

“Due process” is a deflection thrown out by misogynists and their apologists. It doesn’t apply to casting decisions. Filmmakers can cast whomever they like in a movie, and an actor has no right to due process in that choice.

I wasn’t aware being cast in a movie required trial proceedings.

I remember when I was watching Fantastic Beasts in the theater and during the big Johnny Depp reveal, the entire audience let out a audible groan. It was interesting how excited people would have been ten or even five years ago but, now, a sizable chunk of the audience is just so over Johnny Depp.

it seems like most people here think resigning was the wrong move because it won’t hurt the GOP at all. This isn’t about hurting the GOP we won’t EVER win their voters over, it’s showing our base that we stand for something. Democrats win and lose elections based on turnout. And young voters don’t want to see that the…
