You know what’s more plausible? That a racist white Iowan did it. It’s the simplest explanation. Bending over backward to come up with conspiracy theories (with no evidence other than your personal belief that white Iowans don’t do racist vandalism) is dismissive of the experience of POC. You’re trying to protect your…

I grew up in Iowa and you’re being ridiculous. You’re so convinced that white Iowans wouldn’t do something racist that you’re calling black Iowans liars? It looks like you just want to defend white Iowans at the expense of POC. Just because you didn’t personally observe something like vandalism doesn’t mean it’s out…

Dayton probably wouldn’t run because of his prostate cancer diagnosis, though he recently declared himself “cancer free.” Now that I think about it more, I think greater Minnesotans could vote for a black or brown candidate (like they did Obama), but probably not a Muslim. Damn.

Thank you for putting words to my feelings so accurately.

Another Minnesotan here who thinks these recommendations are trash, save Peggy Flanagan. I know Ilhan Omar. She’s very charismatic and her story is inspiring, but she’s not ready for senate. As for suggesting Levy-Pounds and Hodges, jesus, way to rub salt in my wounds. Those were my first and second choices for…

I’m so sick of people using Leeann Tweeden’s accepting of his apology to speak for all of his victims, who didn’t. He was my senator who I supported, and I no longer trust him in the slightest, because I believe the women. That’s anti-gay senator cruising for gay sex in airport bathrooms hypocrisy (Larry Craig). Dems…

The details you’re looking for are in the HuffPost article. It’s pretty clear there wasn’t a misunderstanding.

“Al Franken TOTALLY molested me!” Words of accuser Lindsey Menz. You should look up the definition of sexual assault, because it 100% includes unwanted groping, or “molesting.” Of course what Franken did wasn’t as bad as Roy Moore, who shouldn’t be a standard for anything. I’m honestly wondering how someone can read…

Not only will a Democrat be appointed if he resigns, his seat is vulnerable in 2020 if he DOESN’T resign. Either he runs for re-election as a serial groper, or there’s a race between a new Democratic candidate and a Republican, when the Democrats will have to answer to their lack of principles.

Minnesotan here. Franken needs to step down YESTERDAY. Governor Dayton can fill his seat with another DFLer. When the first story came out, I was disappointed but wanted to believe that he could be held accountable and be redeemed, that it wasn’t a pattern of behavior. Then three more women described him groping their…

More Minneapolis news! Phillipe Cunninghman just won city council ward 4, which means Minneapolis city council will have TWO trans POC council members!

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Kellyanne Conway? Hope Hicks looks like a 28-year-old who wears a lot of makeup that ages her. She’s a disgusting person, but pretty much is still a dewy young thing.

Half of surveyed Republicans are willing to *flout, not flaunt the democratic process.

I did DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), which is kind of like a more intense CBT, I fit all of your criteria, and it still really helped me. It seemed really ridiculous to learn all these acronyms and do worksheets, but I was in such a bad place and had been through so much therapy that I dialed my cynicism back to…

I remember traumarama being lame, and YM’s Say Anything being where it’s at. Traumarama was like, somebody saw my tampon, whereas Say Anything would go full I shat my pants while making out with my crush then my dad walked in and I was topless, and so on.

Stephen is now very openly gay, and according to this video, a Christian. If you remember, he was raised Nation of Islam, and had converted to Judaism before the Real World, so he’s got the three major Abrahamic religions covered.

Tracie Egan Morrissey, of Jezebel the first class.

I was just about to say this! Every time I see something about his most recent craziness, I think about how he used to hang out with Tracie and Rich and produce content together. I wonder if he was always like this but more secretive, or it was a complete turn around, or maybe he just always kind of had it in him.

Rumi is both the name of a 13th century Muslim poet and a Japanese girls’ name. There is no excusing Sir, though.

She was pregnant at 15, according to the Start Tribune Article.
