Finally, an intelligent comment on the matter that isn’t misusing the word prostitution.

But saying we are preying on lonely men and taking advantage of them would mean we are doing it intentionally and actively being malicious. Speaking for myself, this is not the case, and I would love to play with women too! I just really like helping people, I’ve always been considered the ‘mom friend’. There’s…

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Follow up (on-topic) question, did Albert just own tom.blersch or did tom.blersch just commit a self-own with his uninformed comment?

Not to mention that he has offices in THREE DIFFERENT CITIES IN HIS STATE. Well, what are those for, then, Congressman? Idiot. Yeah, you represent your district, but ALSO your state AND the entire country. Idiot.

You see that grin on his face right at the end there? That is the look of a reporter who got to afflict the powerful and it felt just as good as he’d hoped it would.

Sorry, but he was discussing a National Healthcare program, not funding for a new parking lot at the Des Moines Piggly-Wiggly. If he votes to fuck up my Healthcare, he’s answerable to me. I hate the game and the player.

Did you not understand your comment was bullshit even after all these people explained it to you?

Except that the same guys who are trying to destroy an already bad healthcare system worked very hard to ensure that money was deemed “speech” and to eviscerate campaign spending laws. It’s hard to argue that the absence of controls on donations isn’t a major driver of the increasing cost of campaigns.

but then the asshole bails on the interview when asked about money from outside his district.

Or he only wanted to address his constituents. That is hardly a bad thing.

geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

Solid follow up.

(Your star system is broken else you’d have one from me)

As the reporter rightly was getting at with his questioning, the “I’m only accountable to the people in my district” defense rings a bit hollow when Blum’s largest donors are from outside of his district. If he can be bought by parties outside his district, then he can answer questions asked by Iowans outside his…

“Asking Blum whether he would commit to similarly limiting his pool of political donors to the district he represents” 

What is unique here - and Ivanka IS unique - is the incredible level of her over privilege. White privilege is real even if so many whites cannot see it or acknowledge it. But “garden variety” privilege is not the same as this level of constant safety net so no risk exists, ever - even the fucking lemonade stand had…

I’m certain she thinks “Empowerment” means Donald lets her ride on top.

The one encouraging thing here is the fact that other passengers stood up to actively defend this woman and her child. Perhaps the most distressing thing about the United incident is that no one came to that guy’s aid. I know it’s probably a losing battle, with the possibility of arrest (or worse), but the line must…

I wonder what the comment on their customer file is.

... Please stand by.
