Fuck. He’s so smarmy, and a bootlicker of Harper’s. He presents a sane facade, and that scares me the most. People are going to be fooled that he’s a fiscal conservative but socially progressive. He is not. He’s an opportunist- and this combined conservatives business means the crackpot ultra right have a seat at the…

HRC AND OBAMA NOT BORN IN THE STATES AT ALL - BUT ON MARS!! THEY’RE REALLY ALIENS!!11!!

Yes. This is what happens when someone gets dismissed as “crazy” because the alternative would be uncomfortable and require people to examine their own long held biases or involvement in a system designed to protect a variety of extremely shitty people and sexual predators.

Gorka was having a Twitter meltdown last night. He’s since gone private, but it indicates to me that it may not be an unknown fall guy (a low level intern, say) but someone who’s a good “get”. I hope everyone even remotely involved in shenanigans is sweating the weekend away. My thought was this announcement was timed…

Got it in one. Trump is the only person in the world according to Trump. Everyone else is just a prop in his greatest reality show role ever.

I respect your musical taste. I hated jazz for YEARS but found a very narrow band of it that’s soothing to me (30's, 40's)- but only if it’s not amplified and there is no singing.

I would consent to a string quartet/quintet playing Baroque music or a small jazz ensemble playing 30s/40s arrangements. Nothing amplified. No singing. And I would only consent to this if I can bring my two large dogs on the plane too.

Oh my gosh you guys. He’s the real victim here! I don’t know why I missed that...

Yeah. I was really trying hard not to be angry that it took her kids being attacked (even “subtly”) before she could acknowledge anyone not white was faced with daily tiny cuts to their worth that accumulate over the years. I would like to think people are not blind to the constant grind of racism and bigotry, but I…

And that is white privilege in a nutshell. She had the luxury of being able to ignore it until racism touched her through her children.

Yep. You are correct. Same for those in landlocked African countries. However, something is better than nothing.

*will agree with your measured assessment

Right? She should be thankful someone wanted to fuck her! She may not ever get so lucky again! It’s always reassuring when a judge fails to see a victim as a real person. Totally objective and just.

The Canadian justice system is not immune to these shitheads. There was another one who asked the victim why she didn’t just close her legs. He is no longer a judge. I am hoping this most recent terrible and not at all just or unbiased person loses his job over his comments. “She was fat, so she should be flattered”…

Maybe The Dutch Abortion Ship will pay the US a visit?

Also, The Opioid Crisis is a National Health Emergency. It has been Declared by Trump on TV. So that’s fixed now too! See? EASY!

That does not sound nearly as cool, you’re right.

I hope this kid’s doctors and medical care givers have a plan to make sure she does not receive medical clearance any time soon. I can’t imagine the majority of those in pediatric healthcare would willingly clear a kid with complex medical needs if she was going to be shipped across the border to Mexico- particularly…

99.9% sure this was a way to keep people in line. Hell yeah she (or he, or them) was difficult. If by difficult you mean she won’t put out or give you what you want.

A whole bunch of mood disorders can be enhanced by a lack of structure, disturbed sleep, high stress levels and the fact their childhood needs were not met. Whether there was a potential for psychological problems or not, involvement in the industry from a young age would have amplified any underlying issues.
