Here’s the full ad. I used to use this ad all the time when I was teaching; it’s like the greatest assemblage in one ad of patriarchy fantasy images I’ve ever seen in advertising. The women (of the house) in “house clothes” / pj’s, genuflecting and/or reduced to the role of an actual harem slave or something. The…

I assume from you comment that you actually did muster up the tenacity to hear some or all of Trump’s pointless ramblings in West Virginia tonight. I salute your courage and would like to call attention to some of his “Best Words.”

Reminds me of this old ad. I would gladly “Let the King have his Fling” if it meant that I got to be the princess who fanned him with boxer shorts. And yes, those boxers would be stanky and crunchy AF.

Every time someone says, without irony, the words “Big Jim,” a cherub gets jabbed with a demonic pitchfork.

Me: Jim. JIM. BIG JIM! Forget it, man.

I say this as a Mississippian; W VA and Jim Justice are being MISSISSIPPI STUPID right now.

totally stealing “spastic yammering.”

That was the part that killed me. This is yugely unconstitutional, but I’ll sign it anyway because I’m just such a go-along-to-get-along kind of guy. Fuck that shit. If you really think it’s unconstitutional, don’t sign it and make congress override your veto. (Of course, if he didn’t sign it, then that would only…

Short and guessing from straight out of the blue answer: depends on what the statute says, but in general I think criminal negligence requires substantial bodily harm/death to result from the criminal negligence. So, even if he’d said “no, I’m not getting back in the car,” but, for example, had some kind of brain…

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a crime for “attempted” criminal negligence anywhere. Involuntary manslaughter is basically criminal negligence (reckless wanton behavior) that could knowingly cause substantial harm/death to another, which results in substantial harm or death. (It’ll depend on whatever the…

Thank you for having the stamina energy to lay all of this out. All I could manage was another shout into a sofa pillow.

This is so demoralizing. And I know you’re right. I think I posed it as a question just out of some fit of “surely it’s not this bad . . . is it?” But it is. And then to think of this one offender, at this one school, and realizing that it’s happening everywhere. God, I’m depressed.

I was thinking about this as well. I feel sure that the FBI (well, let’s say at this point I HOPE) is updating their older models of these classic triangles of males who are showing early signs of becoming a serial sexual offender / murderer. Stuff like animal cruelty, starting fires, enuresis, etc. has been on the…

I had two additional initial thoughts, in addition to the one you expressed, about this. (Both of them are depressing as hell).

Seriously. This is almost exactly like Gary Ridgeway / Green River Killer stuff. The whole choking thing, just, OH MY GOD. Horrible in every way. And this is the kind of behavior that seems always to escalate.

I love it! I frequently wish Bette Davis was at the daily WH press briefings, as her character from Of Human Bondage, saying something like “every time I had to sit here and listen to your lies, I had to wipe my mouth! WIPE MY MOUTH!” Just, all the Bette Davis RAGE.

I use this one. If I’m barfing around Trump Supporters, the open bottom just lets me tea-bag it around the room and stomp it into their carpet.

Honest best guess: regarding our economy, I don’t think his base went much deeper than those old Sally Struthers commercials for trade schools or whatever that inevitably began: “Do you want more money? Sure! We all do . . . “

I was sort of hoping someone would post the clip of Jon Stewart asking “Did he just he who smelled it, dealt it racism?” Because, as we all know, only racists talk about race.

In honor of all slain waxwings, I declare this comment highly underrated.
