I say this in highest praise of their savviness: Harry and Meghan were definitely going to get trimmed off the senior royalty list as William’s children grew up. This way, instead of trying to salvage their brand once they had been kicked off the A List, they’ll always be the royals that stepped away. They protected

I’m no right-winger, but I think this is a much more complex issue than has been perpetuated. Conservatives aren’t the only ones protesting this issue, though their (underlying, prejudicial) reasoning is certainly unique.

This season, The Crown has backed—or at least has young Prince Charles apparently fully buying into—the fiction that the Duke of Windsor was forced to abdicate because he was just too much a rebel, man, he wanted to modernize the monarchy and the suits just wouldn’t have it. (Utter nonsense, of course—David would’ve

What a stupid article, nothing but an excuse to whine about the candidates you hate.  Maybe try writing something about why he was assassinated. 

Well, I’ve been called far worse than a pedant. The broader point is that you created a bar by which to criticize Buttigieg, which implied that the bar was cleared by others. It was not. Nobody condemned the act as an illegal assassination, so the observation that Buttigieg also had not cleared the bar seemed

On some level, they are obliged to offer a modest amount of deference to the president. It’s not nuance, though I guess it wouldn’t be completely inaccurate to refer to it as hedging.

But why would Andrew be her favorite over Edward? Edward was the baby of the family, and as an adult he seems less scandal-prone than his brothers (though I’m not certain it’s if because he’s been involved with less scandals, or just doesn’t get the same press attention).

I can’t imagine what a 4 year old would be feeling while being expected to gracefully shake hands and hug strangers in a crowd.

Maybe he doesn't care as much about his lack of hair as people on the internet do.

This is the context a woman was fired from her job for tweeting a woman or man cannot change their sex. A judge then upheld the firing claiming her views were “Absolutist”. Here is where I think the discussion is getting a little outlandish. There is two concepts, “sex” and “gender” which while related I would argue

They did the same shit to Gillibrand earlier in the cycle over how she ate fried chicken and to Harris because she put hot sauce on greens—which is the fucking standard way to eat greens—and she was called out for pandering because that would make her seen as “more black” or some bullshit (never mind there are no

I am no Pete fan. But man I fucking hate when candidates are ripped to shreds because of how they eat something. Campaigns have been ended over styles of eating (How Miranda eats a bagel), choice of hobbies (Kerry wind surfing) and even weird excited noises (Howard Dean). I don’t care how you eat a food. What the

No fan of Pete but yous guys really nitpick and champ at the bit for the slightest thing to shit on him about and it just reads as targeting. Like it’s not his fault a gay midwestern Mayor isn’t clicking with black folk when Bernie Sanders is there cut him some slack, attack his policies don’t reach for any thread you

Buttigieg is still asking how to deal with addressing differences.

There are more germs on the average hand than the average buttcheek

Oh I dated him too! I kinda thought it was just a shortcut to getting my pants off though.

It’s an American movie. They are known for being shitty. Clint Eastwood is involved. What do you expect?

It’s time to forgive Charles for his love for a woman his mother wouldn’t let him marry. We all loved Diana, but that relationship they were both forced into was destined to be a failure from the start. The real villain is not Charles, it’s the people who decided that they could impose an arranged royal marriage and

On this, I agree. This happens to every candidate. A journalist finds out that they received a donation from someone bad; and the candidate returns the donation. It happens to all of them. Including Bernie.

5 bucks says TI has been absent for several moments his daughter wished he graced with his presence. But he chose the most intrusive moment to be this performative, toxic caricature of a “protective father”. It’s comical how much he expected to be praised for this. Red Table Talk gave him his below bare minimum
