God that’s such bullshit. It’s like yeah, big scoop: they’re going to ask about the economy and the emails. It was inappropriate so she resigned, but it’s not like there were any game-changers in her sloppy, partisan behavior. And she’s gone. None of it rises to the level of the completely different and damaging…

It’s a non-disparagement clause to the NDA. At first I felt sad that I had only discovered cable news today, until I met a man who didn’t have the google:

What are you talking about? You doubt exactly what? He’s a Trump shill that got a job shilling for Trump. It’s unethical in a very similar way, but only one did the right thing and resigned, as fucking usual.

He is contractually obligated to not be critical of Trump. As a CNN commentator, defining the conversation. How is it NOT related to blatant partisanship?

Yeah. I kind of wish I could un-know.

I hear you; It’s just really exhausting to police your thoughts to protect his feelings, even in the context of having them demanded of you. She was just trying to get out of there but he kept interrogating.

He’s not ugly but I guarantee you he’s tending some wounds from a geeky adolescence and trying to suppress his insecurity with that weird nerd narcissism that occurs after a misunderstood youth: “They never recognized my genius! Now I smile in an aggressive but totally natural way because the past doesn’t bother me…

Not just the terrible burden of being so smart, but like...if that’s so, what is wrong with you that you keep going on dates with minimally-verbal morons? Could it be that you’re not targeting intelligence in the first place, but something else—something more superficial?

He asked for the inventory. That’s not something a dignified or respectful person does, so it’s hardly fair to blame her for the answer. (Not to mention that feeling insulted by association with femininity is his deal, not hers.)

And another thing: your brand of feminism rejects all assumptions of gender? It’s all conditioned? Like literally you could raise a child as any sex and they would adapt to it? You don’t have children, do you.

I cannot even believe how patient you have been; I don’t think I could handle it. You have some serious zen. I’m sure I said lots of ignorant things, still—but for fucksake. What an asshole.

It’s so amazing to me that you feel you can just decide that trans people aren’t real.  Just invalidate a whole group and characterize transition as a fun, rebellious elective based on an affection for pink. It reminds me of how bigots think gay people would ever choose a life of discrimination and marginalization—it…

It’s just incredibly sad, seriously. You can’t stop yourself from reacting defensively to any mild affront. Literally, you can’t stop. You’re entirely caught up in protecting your tiny sense of self, so you must defend at any cost, get combative and horrible—whatever it takes to assert your authority, even if it’s…

Of course he is. God bless them one and all. And God is like, “I’m not the one.”

It could trigger you if you were capable of self-inquiry, which is why I wished you courage on that unlikely path. But we both know there’s no risk of awareness or personal work on your part, so it’s just additional faux victimhood when you perform appropriated outrage like you’re doing now.

Yeah, people don’t understand that if you addressed it all, you wouldn’t have time to be an otherwise functioning person. Did I have time to spend hours with the cops twice yesterday? Of fucking course not, especially when you know there will be no action.

I can’t watch him perform support for women when I know how he treats them. I would probably like this clip, which annoys me because dude is a dick. He’s not a feminist. A feminist doesn’t tell a woman she may suck his dick for the privilege of working for him. So it’s the hypocrisy that grinds my gears.

Ethnicities and cultures aren’t “characters.” Mickey Mouse=character. American Indian=actual person. It’s a very simple concept that you’d have to be intentionally obtuse to avoid getting.
