That’s fair.

I would bump any actor who has played a President on TV or in a movie to the top of the list first.

That still makes Keifer more qualified than Trump, so I’d be good with that.

I’m so glad I’m not the only person who has been fantasizing about a Designated Survivor-type of situation.

I’ll buy that.

I think “we” as a whole, have forgotten what compassion is and how to do it. The people who rant and rave about “the illegals” and “the gays” and “the transgendered” and “the Muslims” etc, etc don’t seem to understand that they are talking about actual people.

Yes!

It was obvious. :) I understand where you’re coming from, and agree with you for the most part. Feminism is a family value because it strengthens and empowers all the members of a family, regardless of the genders of the people involved. That’s a simplistic take, and people may disagree, but I do think it’s a common…

It was when they made a detour into people’s pants, their bedrooms, their bank accounts and to women’s uteruses (uterii?) that things went off the rails. I have no objection to conservatism as a political philosophy. What I do object to is that “conservatism” is not at all in any way, shape, or form, conservative any…

Kellyanne Conway is like most of the conservative women who mock feminism because they don’t understand it. She doesn’t have what it takes to be a leader, to advance the cause of women, or to do anything that is actually helpful. She criticizes feminism without any sense of irony because she believes that she is so…

Good. Then it will be easy for Dems to take back the federal government and get some shit done.

There’s a glitch in the Matrix.

Way back in 1996 when I went through my first training as a DV victim-witness advocate, the person who taught the majority of the course was a gay, male, police officer who had been a victim of domestic violence.

As the mother of a kid who is a black belt in karate, I say my kiddo (like yours) is more than capable of sticking up for herself and others. I get that there are some kids who aren’t, and who are instead held up by their parents to just spout whatever they are told to spout, but I think those kids are the minority.…

My kid is 11. She is old enough to know how she feels about certain things, and she is capable of expressing those feelings. Many of the issues that are being discussed right now do or will affect her even more than they affect my wife and I. We can certainly speak out on her behalf, but she needs to be empowered to…

I think that Jezebal writers need to start referring to him as “Sentient cartoon super-villain Sebastian Gorka.”

Agreed. Another commenter pointed out that the equal protection aspects of Gavin’s case are still stuck at the lower court level and the SC is only looking at a very narrow issue, but I still feel hopeful. I might be deluding myself because I’m just so desperate for some good fucking news (and evidence that our…

Thank you for this clarification. I didn’t have time to read through all the filings, so wasn’t clear on exactly what had happened to the rest of the issues. I had written elsewhere that Gavin’s case is solid based on the issues that the SC was going to hear, but I wasn’t sure if they were even arguing this case on EP…

I may be totally wrong and naive and just really, really, hopeful, but I think that Gavin has a lot going for him. The 4th Circuit ruled in his favor, so even if the SC comes back split 4-4, the lower court’s decision will stand (probably one of the few times not having a full bench might actually help). The case is…

“Believe me!”
