He's the one that everyone else cracked up on SNL. He wasn't laughing at himself.

Bill Clinton's record: signing the Defense of Marriage Act; Don't Ask, Don't Tell; gutting Glass Steagall (which allowed the 2008 financial meltdown); creating more child poverty through his "ending welfare as we know it", diddling while genocide was committed against up to 1 million Rwandans; AND not getting…
It's cute that you think President Hillary Clinton will have an appreciably different foreign policy from Obama.
Yeah, the guy who repealed Glass-Steagall was the best in 30 years. Obama's spent almost all his time fixing the fuckups from Clinton & Bush 2.o. Best of luck to HRC. She couldn't beat Obama so maybe she slip in behind him.
Ah yes, the man who signed Don't Ask Don't Tell, the Defense of Marriage Act, the Telecommunications Act and the Personal Responsibilities Act into law, was a fervent supporter of quotas and deregulation, fired Joycelyn Elders and bombed Kosovo. What a wonderful man!
Oh, I see shit like those yahoo comments everywhere. The internet makes cowards bold and racists do tend to be cowards (I suspect this largely due to the fear of people that don't seem 'the same' as them).
And that wonderful time in Kosovo that was had by all.
My friends grandparents are pretty much the same. Never cared much for politics, but i reveled in the displeasure people like this must have felt BOTH times he got elected.
What's political about this pic? Or half the stuff that gets posted about him on Jezebel, a lot of it is fairly neutral, behavioral stuff. Yeah maybe Jez's sweet on him, but c'mon, even with all the photoshop in the world, Fox News couldn't make GWB look half as charming
you should take yourself out with the trash. Prez Obama is 1000 times the person you are.
Um, I love Bill, but the deregulation of the derivatives market and repeal of Glass Steagall under his watch sowed the seeds of the financial meltdown. The 90s and early 00s reaped a lot of economic gains from just dismantling regulations and cashing out on the bubble that resulted.
I remember reading a Yahoo comment on an article that involved race, and dude was like "When will fucking n*g**rs stop playing the race card?". Yahoo comments are the worst, they should just disable that shit
Maybe I should put "politics aside" in caps next time. If it's illegal and he ain't been charged or in jail, then it's politics
Talk to my grandmother and she'll scream how he's the N-word in chief... I loathe my family sometimes.
This is kind of where I think LW was coming from. He probably saw her behavior as genuine and selfless, which to a victim of abuse can seem odd. His question was probably along the lines of "well if she doesn't want a relationship, what's her motives for being friends with (someone like) me?"
The description of not understanding what to do in social situations and having difficulty understanding other people's emotional behaviour is a pretty close match to disorders suffered by some of my friends and one of my ex-girlfriends. The underlying cause is different in each instance, but the difficulty they…
I completely agree that one of the problems is that they are seeking a beauty-queen, and are delusional if they think their basic decency will ever trump hotness in the dating world. But delusional doesn't = asshole. Same with the misguided approach of befriending a woman thinking it might lead elsewhere. It's…
In my experience, a lot of "nice guys" really don't understand that dating ain't that easy for unattractive women, either, because they only focus on dating conventionally attractive women when they aren't attractive themselves.
I was a nerdy, chubby, awkward teenager who didn't date much. I happily would have dated…
I am really annoyed by the insane ubiquity of the trope that Nice Guy = Entitled Jerk. Subscribing to it implies an utter lack of empathy. For the most part, "nice guys" are depressed, shy, young, and below average in looks. They often go years without human affection. It's hard to stay "nice" all the time, when…
