“Rubenfeld also fancied himself a provocateur, once reportedly asking in class if it was “okay to penetrate a baby,” offering up the fact that “you use a spoon to feed a baby.””

Came here to say black cotillions are a big deal too in some places.

Agreed. I take issue with “(rightful) attack.” Kemper has spoken about and apologized for this, and she is in no way responsible for this organization’s racist past. I can’t think of many things over twenty years old that DON’T have a racist past!

FFS. Yeah, the apology is solid, but it’s one her parents should be making. No one becomes a debutante by just rolling up to some organization and signing up. These girls are nominated by their parents to be “presented to society” at specific events. For which there are often months of rehearsals and dance lessons.…

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

This obsession with public self-flagellation is truly something to behold. Entire articles on how apologies are crafted by PR people and then dissected in excruciating detail and deemed either bullshit (as most of them are) or okay this one is fine because it’s insanely over the top and she sounds like she’s slapping h…

For the 4th of July they should cater to that crowd and make snowflake-shaped American flag cookies

Selling rainbow cookies didn’t fix homophobia but the response to it clearly exposed it.

Gaetz is nothing more than a shit stirring frat bro who yells “don’t you know who my father is!?” whenever he’s in trouble distilled to it’s most miserable form. Margie Q, however, is absolutely a crazy eyed true believer who I fear will get violent some day. It’s why I’ve found her obsession with AOC deeply…

Oh I think there are plenty of Republicans who would be all too willing to don the Don’s mantle and lead the idiot legion if Trump himself can’t.

The day that man dies, I’m throwing a large party for 1. It’ll become a personal holiday. 

So basically you don't think the government should kill *people.*

For someone like him, the goal is not to win. The goal is not even to be the nominee. The goal is to get a lot of media attention, spend a lot of time on Fox News, lose but claim that you only lost because someone else cheated and would have won if they didn’t, then add “presidential candidate” to your CV before…

“A PROUD Texan would just shoot them bees”

Y’know, it used to be when you lost an athletic contest, that was it. Not that nobody’s ever cheated, of course, but on the whole you were very disappointed and then moved on.

I know it’s tempting to fantasize about kicking someone like this in the fork, but you should really stop and consider what consequences such an action might have. You could strain something, or hurt your foot, while doing so. Make sure to stretch beforehand and wear appropriate shoes!

I mean....I understand being annoyed by a couple.

And let us imagine some inspiring words that Cheney would give to his young warriors:

This is an excellent point, particularly about Congressional families. And no b.s. “advisory” roles, either.  If the Congresscritter’s kids are reasonably healthy and can point a gun in the right direction, they go to actual battle zones.  You gotta wonder how willingly Dubya would have signed off on the Forever War…
