Supposedly McCain does that to herself. The stylist was tired of people accusing her of deliberately messing with McCain, and she had to make a statement.

Easy. They are rewarded well for their blind support. Remember Aunt Lydia and Serena Joy? Like that.

I suspect makeup artists are secretly sabotaging them. See also: Mitt Romney’s brown face on Univision about ten years ago.

They are horrified by these actions and regret to inform you that they will, in fact still support, whatever thing they’re horrified by.

What is it with Republicans and skin bronzer!?  They tend not to care about people of color, then turn around and tint themselves orange.

Thank god that seems to be the general consensus. Reading the piece actually put me in a funk. Even if the couple were “gentrifiers,” it is absolutely no justification for what happened. And I REALLY don’t get why the writer seems to suggest that walking a cat on a leash is some kind of offensive behavior? This family…

Congrats, this might be the worst take I’ve seen on this story yet.

Or if you have to have something that ‘explodes’, go down to a 7-11. buy a bag of balloons, stick a tube down the neck, pour in some appropriately-colored confetti, then inflate them and tie them off. Then you can use a pin to pop them and fling confetti around. With all of the crazy gender reveal stunts, there’s too…

Welp, I made the mistake of clicking the links and reading more about the story. The kid apparently stomped on the cat and threw her up in the air so hard that she died. Then the other 7 people in the family beat the shit out of the lady until bystanders pulled them off her. 

This seems like a lot of reaching for rationalization. Sometimes people are violent assholes, and they often take it out on defenseless animals. I very much doubt gentrification had anything to do with it.

Man, if someone gets so in their feelings about a cat on a leash that they have to commit assault, imagine what they might do if they see a gender nonconforming person, or someone with an obvious disability, or any of a cornucopia of other things that might make a person visibly “different”.

I would be 0 percent surprised if it is now a “thing” among reactionary idiots because the rest of us are saying “please don’t do this, it is stupid and dangerous and could harm the environment and also kill someone.”

This reminds me (sadly) of the quote from some ER nurse about treating deniers with covid. “Once they’re intubated, they stop screaming.”

Good point, which is why neither happens all the fucking time. This is like if BMW built a kegerator into the dash and sold a line of beers with names like Time to Hit the Road, and Driving Time Flies that came in special BMW mini kegs that only worked in the dash kegerator and there was a compartment in the center…

Except Tesla called their system autopilot and fully self driving.

The point is that the NHTSA recommended several years ago that Tesla make this more secure to prevent drivers from abusing the system since it was a foreseeable issue — and they haven’t.

this sc decision is literally horrific. i literally just read an article about people who had previously been sentenced to life without parole as juveniles. of course, most of those people were black men because our justice system is deeply racist. i am honestly really appalled and concerned. this kind of decision…

Fuck that guy, and his ugly face, and his rancid opinions.  And Squi and PJ and Tobin, while we’re at it.

They’ll write up a law that’s so poorly written it bans all films, the renaissance, greek mythology etc to ever be distributed or viewed in their states. 

“What?! I demand MANDATORY GENITAL INSPECTIONS of ALL animated movie characters! I want a law on my desk by the END OF THE DAY!”
