And that’s the problem. Men White women will support abortion civil rights if they’re specifically asked to. But anything that’s more complex, like voting at every chance or voting against anti-choice racist candidates who support low taxes or voting for a woman black person, they can’t do it.

You clearly didn’t read the list of countries in that link. Or maybe you’re proud to stand alongside them against the democracies of the world.

Counterpoint: the death penalty is abhorrent, and no civilized nation on earth allows it.

Which actors often have trouble with, to be fair. They just want to act in character, they don’t generally care about the rest of it because it’s not their job. But Bean’s been acting for the screen for nearly four decades, so he should be used to all of that other stuff interfering with the spontaneity of his…

I worked in restaurants and bars for a decade. I guess I should have clarified “in the normal course of their work duties”. People bang coworkers in every line of work ever.

Acting and modeling are the only occupations I can think of outside of sex work where people get naked and intimate with their coworkers. I would think that any person with good intentions would welcome a neutral third party being present to ensure that everything is on the up-and-up. Directors and film crews are not…

He said some “great replacement”-type stuff about Muslims taking over Europe. People like that are at minimum kind of racist, but he’s probably just more of an idiot who doesn’t understand what he’s saying than a full-on white supremacist. But maybe he’s a full-on white supremacist.

If ensuring a black woman doesn’t become governor won’t do it, I highly doubt promising segregated schools would. I might be wrong, but I doubt it, since no serious politician has run as openly pro-segregation in roughly 50 years. Republicans have already stirred up the racist hornets nest about as far as it can go…

It’s all a game to people like her. She doesn’t have deeply-held conservative beliefs, or any beliefs at all. She just says the awful things that her side wants her to say, and honestly doesn’t understand why that’s a problem to people with actual scruples.

They’d never get a conviction, and while there are grounds to impeach at least two sitting right-wing justices, the right would just rally around them because they’re immune to facts (and morality, and decency, and honesty). I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done - it absolutely should, and Dems should wield the fucking…

The French in the late 18th and early 19th centuries had some pretty good ideas about how to set things right.

Someone confirm to me why Chris Wray is not in prison.

Those people were already not going to vote for Stacey Abrams under any circumstances.

I came here to say something similar. I think the writer thought that “anachronistic” means “set in another time period”, which is not what it means.

Most of the time when cops are called they don’t help anyone. They at best take a report or complaint that gets filed away and forgotten; at worst they shoot and kill the person they were called to help.

Seems more likely to me that no competent lawyer would agree to represent him, so he got what he got.

That was the system working as intended, and explicitly what they want to get back to.

“Do you think society has gotten much better since the social and sexual revolutions of the 1960s? Or has it gotten a little bit worse? Are we in a period of ascendancy or a period of decline?”

As always, every accusation from these fucks is a confession.

I feel like our side isn’t doing enough to hammer home the point that discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is inherently sex discrimination. It’s the exact same thing feminists have been fighting against forever. The line between “girls can’t play sports, sports are for boys” and “girls can’t marry girls, marrying…
