I think it is within the backdrop of losing advertisers. Perhaps they already were not fans of hers, and it made it easy? Also, most of their hateful stuff that gets reported out in the legitimate press is not as attached to an individual like a twitter account.

Oh for fucks sake. Mocking a blind person in ASL about being blind is not some harmless fun. It is as we all learned at the age of four, mocking people in secret means you are a jerk. Does that makes me a sjw? Ok, fine. If you took a step back from your bullshit, you would realize that being kind is not some…

Trump doesn’t strike me as Alzheimer’s (been watching this terrible fucking illness take down relative after relative for my entire god damned life). I believe he is often confused, and cannot easily assimilate new information, but his lies are too fluent, and he can control conversations far too well. Maybe that is…

I think there are few bright lines left, but joking about assasinating the president crosses one of them. Even introducing the thought of assasination is inappropriate when you consider that 4/45 presidents were murdered in office, with others surviving attacks. The one that comes to mind for me now is Garfield’s…

My favorite part of high school was after prom. I remember at that point all the bullshit seemed done, and kids just realized they should enjoy with little or no expectations of it being the best night ever.

Also $51k for a coat that you would wear five times, max. So conspicuously consumptive, it is almost a performance art piece on the danger of income inequality and the meaninglessness of money.

I don’t recall suits, but John Edwards was mocked mercilessly for $400 haircuts.

There was a show a few years ago called Revenge” that took place among the uber wealthy in the hamptons or some similar place. My brother and I used to laugh about how the entire cast would be in cocktail wear at eight in the morning, but perhaps this is just how they dress?

God I hate promposals, and am very pleased my phone didn’t recognize that Stupid word. I don’t think I should care this much about what teenagers do to declare their love, but the way it combines consumerism, prioritized a performance of public sentiment over private, everyday romance, and creating another way for…

I’m the exception here, I guess. I find Jost pretty funny and attractive, despite him having a somewhat punchable face. On a related note, I’ve noticed I like ‘em clean cut and kind of angry recently, because Acting FBI director Andrew McCabe was on fire during his congressional testimony.

One of the most amazing experiences I have had was watching a herd of elephants dominate the fuck out of a pride of lions as they leisurely made there way across the Serengeti. The way they worked as a team, the way you could recognize multiple generations, and their expressions conveyed with ears, trunks, and eyes…

My contact with immigration law is mostly via friends who came to the US as single students and then sought to stay after finishing school, soI mostly hear about it when they’re confused/frustrated. What’s always struck me as odd is how important intentions seem to be in immigration law (I’m not coming back into the…

I’m a stander most of the time, especially if I can get a spot in the door, leaning against the divider in front of seats (I’m on the D.C. Metro or the El). Comfy, a quick exit, and I find the balance invigorating.

Yep. My mother has MS, and even with her disabled placard for her car, she still got dirty looks for parking in handicapped spots, and on one occasion got to listen to a woman tell her daughters that she was probably drunk when she lost her balance and fell. The vast majority of people are courteous and accommodating,…

This is terrible. The absurd mandatory minimum sentencing laws passed in the eighties and nineties placed discretion in the hands of prosecutors, who used that discretion to pervert the plea bargain system. Now prosecutors are being encouraged to ratchet that system up to 11, so the discretion now lands on cops. Why…

My rep is Sheila Jackson Leigh, and I think we agree on health care, so while I might go to one of her events to show support, where I really want to go is a townhall or other venue with one Theodore Cruz. He has been in Houston, which I know because my friend saw him at the movies, but I haven’t been able to find any…

Yep, this dress gave me the same feeling as The come de garçons dresses with no arms, it makes me itchy and nervous just thinking about it.

Amen to that. Signed, a leftist Houstonian sick to fucking death of hearing about Austin.

Yep. I notice it more in discussions of the victim. If a person is shot or otherwise killed, unless their actions in that moment presented a grave threat to another, their death should be treated as a wrong. Does someone being a good student really mean their life is more valuable? Dead is dead. Murder is murder.…

I used to work at a zoo that did endangered animal captive breeding. One of my co-workers was part of a team that would “collect” semen from rhinoceroses. It was as dignified as it can get when you are using a prosthetic rhinoceros vagina. 🦏
