Right? I guess I’m going to be the Bad Feminist in this one.

If I refused to work for people I hate, I’d be unemployable.

They are contracted employees. I assume adult women know to read contracts before signing and agreeing to the terms. I won’t insult them by clutching my pearls that they have to adhere to their contracts.

I do, a large part of the DNC’s problem is that many true lefties see them as too close to center/right. I have friends who exited the Green Party to register as dems and campaign, volunteer, and vote for Sanders because he actually represented the progressive, left-ish policies democrats are supposed to promote. Many…

IMHO

I meant zero disrespect to the victims, this was really more directed at the author. It’s a frustrating attitude that is perilously close to “here are some puppy pix as a palate cleanser from the bad things,” a stance that I have no time for.

Counter-counterpoint: yo’ mama.

And...to be fair I’ve lost track of where I’m supposed to stand on Russia anymore

I’m not arguing in favor of Trump or against Obama’s fitness. But honestly his foreign policy was definitely a weakness of Obama’s. The line-drawing regarding Syria was obviously not a good move/bluff. And...to be fair I’ve lost track of where I’m supposed to stand on Russia anymore, but his response to the Crimea…

The danger you list is to an institution, not to lives. The EU was always going to struggle in its existence between an economic bloc and unified supranational state. And it is under attack as much by the far left as it is by the far right.

Hardly. While the president might be the overall commander in chief, the actual military doesn’t require much of him to assume standard defensive operations should they be attacked. On top of that, NATO has its own command structure, so all forces under NATO command aren’t affected much by presidential elections. Only…

Way for these terrorists to teach “comfortable people” a needed lesson!

If 2016 is anything, it’s the year that comfortable people learned about mortality.

Everything is terrible, and getting worse.

“Cut it out” is the same thing I say to my 9 year-old son when he reaches for the tablet when I told him he couldn’t play with it. I don’t consider it a particularly stinging rebuke.

Honestly, this isn’t too surprising. German police have rushed to stop 8 different terrorist attacks in the past year. Unfortunately, some things are only a matter of time.

People with a mindset stuck in the 14th Century cannot live with the rest of us. But Merkel will rather sue Facebook for hate speech then save their own citizens from terrorists.

Possible terror attack. We’ll let you know whether slaughtering 9 people is terrorism once we find out what colour the guy is.

Everything is terrible, and getting worse.

Do you think that Putin would do something so bold after President Obama came out and condemned him so strongly?
