“To emphasize the heroism of Columbus and his successors as navigators and discoverers, and to deemphasize their genocide, is not a technical necessity but an ideological choice. It serves–unwittingly–to justify what was done.” -Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States

Fuck Trump, and fuck his celebration…

In fourteen hundred ninety two

‘we honor his remarkable accomplishments as a navigator, & celebrate his voyage into the unknown expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.’

Sigh, I miss the binders full of women days. It was so simple back then. 

So “Justice” Rapey McBoof-Face has binders full of women just like Mittington Q  Romney. Why am I not surprised?

OMFG LINDSAY GRAHAM SHUUUUUUUUUUUUT UP! 

Hiring all woman and coaching young girls won’t erase the memory of what you did Bart.

I recently had an epiphany. It was not a nice one.

“Susan Collins and Kellyanne Conway Spent the Morning Defending Brett Kavanaugh”

Meanwhile, Kavanaugh spent his morning passed out in his own vomit after a night of binge-drinking.

Many?

Memo to Susan Collins: when John fucking Dickerson is giving you a reality-check from the left, your centrism is a fraud.

“We looked up and saw in him possibly our husbands, our sons, our cousins, our co-workers, our brothers.”

“I don’t think most of us had any idea how pervasive the problem of sexual assault is...”

I have nothing witty to add here but I try to always remind people that Kobe Bryant is a rapist whenever I happen to be talking about him, which is thankfully rarely, because fuck that guy.

For context on that trial: when I was in law school, our Evidence professor used it as an example of how a defendant’s lawyers can use all kinds of loopholes to call an accuser a shameless whore who’s in it for the money and still stay within the bounds of the rules of evidence. 

I mean that’s shitty for sure, but did you see the one about the guy who was credibly accused of sexual assault and stands to be given a lifetime appointment to our nation’s highest court?

The trial fucking enraged me. Kobe had his scumbag lawyer “accidentally” use the accuser’s full name in open court half a dozen times just to make sure it got out there so legions of unhinged fans would make her life a living hell until she gave up and went away. And it fucking worked. The judge threatened to hold her…
