I think our parents’ reaction is all out of guilt and defensiveness. They see the bigger picture now and how so many people are scarred from it that they don’t want to admit they were part of the problem. But they were!

As a 31 year old, to this day I have nightmares and dreams of confrontations with my dad. Shit I wish I would have said but never did because he never listened or would demean me and treat me like shit. I have strong feelings of anger and hatred toward him. His method of parenting was exactly what this lady is…

oh it’s amazing now, in the age of #metoo, how stunned my parents are hearing my stories. like, yeah, i went through some awful stuff, and no, i didn’t tell you because you taught me not to have sex or i’d go to hell.

Vukmir opines that “our national obsession with the feelings of teenagers has played an enormous but heretofore unrecognized role in what is transpiring nationwide.”

This is the dumbest damn thing I’ve ever heard.

Great, so she’s suggesting that with a little old-fashioned boot-strapping these young men could have gone on to bigger and better things—like killing people by the millions as politicians.

“Perhaps they could save money and lives by teaching kids an old-fashioned lesson: life isn’t always easy.”

Vukmir is almost 60 years old. Adolescence for her is not adolescence today. In the mid-1970s, she didn’t deal with social media, cell phones, and helicopter parents who smother their kids and set the shitty standards for the rest of us. Sexual assault, molestation, sexual harassment, racism, and segregation were…

I wonder if every day is opposite day for Vukmir, or only when she ruminates on people being murdered. Because her thinking is completely ass-backwards. I almost didn’t post this because I can’t believe that it actually needs to be said out loud.

And even if they did, so fucking what? Someone suggesting you should behave an abominably cruel manner doesn’t give you an excuse to do it.

Right?! Airlines are awful, but I seriously can’t fathom anyone in their right mind suggesting this woman kill her pet.

This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

I also read a different article where her family tries to claim she was a private citizen, nope again, she worked in Hollywood and was linked to Mean Girls and a bunch of other movies. She worked in Hollywood. I knew and I didn’t work in Hollywood but have friends that do. I’m tiring of predator apologists. #SheKnew

“seeing her name in headlines again and again, as part of one person’s attempt to gain more attention for her personal cause, along with Harvey’s desperate attempt to vindicate himself, was devastating for her.”

Nope. Nope. Nope. I understand the family is coming to grips with the loss of a loved one but a Hollywood manager knew what was going on and was complicit. A new narrative doesn’t get rewritten in her death where the family gets to blame sexual assault victims. Guilt and depression got the best of her. Sadly,…

It’s not a cheap stunt. Yes, it doesn’t address DACA, but it provides billions of dollars for hospitals, schools, and also billions to Puerto Rico for its infrastructure. Those are not stunts. I’m sure Bernie will grandstand against it, and in fact, Pelosi is voting against the bill too (as is Joe Kennedy, to the…

Not really a stunt. You stand up and talk for 8 hours about anything, then talk about stunts.

Don’t be torn, this was planned in advance as a direct result of the GOP and Trump trying to blame the Dems for not wanting to deal on DACA and the budget. They gave them the budget in the Senate, but the House is there to show they are calling them out on not bringing the bi-partisan DACA deal to the floor for a…

Same. I told my mom (who didn’t vote in 2016) that I’m taking her to the polls with me, and she said she will go and vote Dem. She’s a registered Republican. But all that said, I am 0% confident we’ll see a “blue wave.”

I can’t wait to vote in 2018.
