Lady needs some lessons from Charles Barkley, who’s comments supporting moving the NBA All-Star game from Charlotte are pretty awesome. And he’s a former professional sports ball star from a macho culture steeped in homophobia.

Bruce’s status as “that guy your dad loves” often obscures how on-point he’s been about social justice issues, and for how long. From donating to the striking British miners in the 1980s, to writing a song about Amadou Diallo, an unarmed black man shot by the NYPD, back in 2000, to the lyrics of “Born in the USA” (and…
Wow. Just wow. These fucking guys. You know how history looks at Joseph McCarthy in scorn? Welcome to the club you god damned shitlords.
Once again, for the record.
I wasn’t so surprised about her thinking it was a sale, but the fact that her publicist also thought it was a sale makes me rethink what qualifications you must need to become a publicist.
“It’s not that I would never talk about it, but it’s that nobody cares about what I have to say about that. It’s not going to sway anybody in any direction, and if so, they’re probably young kids that should do their own research about who they want to vote for.”
This was brought up a lot when the Hobby Lobby case was decided. By allowing the company to opt out of services only provided to women they effectively made the wage gap even wider between the sexes. WOOOOOOO! My uterus is so sad. :(
Yes, their filling out the form results in the insurance company having to pay for it. And they’d rather no on pay for it so that you can’t get birth control unless you pay, yourself, for your own baby murdering Slut pills.
I don’t believe they’re arguing that filling out the form is an undue burden, but that it’s an affirmative action that results in the supplying of birth control, which is against their sincerely held religious beliefs. It wouldn’t matter if the form was two pages, one page, one sentence etc.. It’s not the burden of…
I know I’m taking a risk with this comment on here, but honestly, this is one of the things that I would really like Hillary to change her position on. I know she says she wants it to only be used in federal cases like the Boston bomber, but this is one of those issues that you are either for or against. As long as…
Ah yes, the old “she’s crazy” trope. I bet Trump thinks his relationships with Ivana and Marla also failed because “they are crazy.” It’s always the women who are “crazy,” the common denominator couldn’t possibly be him, much less his misogyny.
Because women are whores. Didn’t you get the memo? If not, sign up here.
I’m a Hillary supporter, but like your sentiment here. Were the tables turned, I would be saying the same thing right now. Dems are fortunate to have two viable candidates, and Sanders has my appreciation for forcing Hillary to stake out some more progressive positions.
Pretty sure he didn’t realize trying to win the USA proper’s WAY different than the easy street for the super-corrupt state gov in Florida.
Seriously? I took this to mean not to semi-commit to stuff you don’t want to do, like working late, volunteering, taking a pay cut, etc...lots of people hve trouble saying “no”. Or even a play on “no” to drugs.
Isn’t that the right message to send though? If you want to say “No” make it a clear “No”. Shouldn’t everyone be doing this?
Huh. I read it completely differently. I read it as don’t let someone bully you into doing something you aren’t sure about. If you want to say no to the D, then for gosh sakes, say no.
I wonder if this also explains, in part, the attraction Trump voters have to authoritarian power. Several recent articles claim that the main difference between Trump and non-Trump people is the desire for authoritarianism and order. I’ve been puzzled at how anyone could want an authoritarian in power, but perhaps…
The idea that a lone black man is responsible for their misery, and not the countless white guys they elect, is a continuation of their racist beliefs. They believe that Obama has supernatural demonic powers. It's so sad that some people are so invested in hate but fuck em.
Probably a similar mechanism at work: Social progress means that the intersections of poverty and race start to vanish. When race become less indicative of power and status, those who were once “high status” now believe themselves to be just as susceptible as everyone else to poverty. They now have something new to…
