Women fought in WW II.

This is established historical fact.

The delicate fee-fees of the armchair historians who’ve never cared to engage with the reality of the war beyond saying “I watched Band of Brothers five times” (and no insult to Band of Brothers; I own the Blu-Ray and DVD editions, it was that good) are not a

I do NOT say this lightly. And I say it as someone who has been personally impacted by the condition, both through deaths in my immediate family and a scare myself. And I’m not sure why reading this, out of everything that’s happened since January last year, has been the straw that broke my camel’s back.

Oh man, don’t make sex workers deal with incels. They already face high rates of violence, and I have to think that would only be increased by dealing with these violent, entitled dickwads.

“I read Betty Friedan’s book because I was very curious about it, and it’s so whiny, it’s just enough to drive a modern person mad to listen to these suburban housewives from the late ’50s ensconced in their comfortable secure lives complaining about the fact that they’re bored because they don’t have enough

One of the things I find so challenging about men like this is that they think they’ve got it figured out, that they’re operating on a higher plane, but really, their intellectual development is so stunted by their entitlement and misplaced rage that they have the intellectual capacity of a four year old who’s been

Any time someone uses evolutionary psychology as the crux of their argument you know they are full of bullshit. This guy is an imbecile.

I listened to his interview on Today, Explained. The most annoying part about him is that he dodges even backing up his opinions. If you push back on something he’s said he’ll either blame the interviewer for pulling his words out of context or accusing them of putting words into his mouth, or he’ll argue about

What makes me angry about the entire “incel” thing - outside of the obvious entitlement and objectification of women - is that these assholes claiming that women are just picking high-status men are the same assholes who won’t date “beneath them.” It’s not that they CAN’T get laid. They just don’t want any woman who

I would have to think that it would not only be obstruction of justice but also a damn good reason to commission some sort of deep oversight investigation into whatever Mnuchin/Mulvaney have been up to with their positions of authority under this administration of thinly veiled personal enrichment.

Chickenhawks like Bolton don’t do their own dirty work.

He’s basically making the entire executive branch figure out how to do its job while the boss is on vacation. It works ok for a while but eventually there is going to be some kind of external crisis (which, holy shit, this garbage fire has been happening for so long and nothing really bad has forced them to try to

I mean, I don’t think I should be president in general, but I fully believe I would do a better job at president than him. For one thing, I’d read the goddamn daily briefing.

Get a load of this: Cohen’s financial records from the Treasury database were leaked by an official who became concerned that other, much more alarming reports appeared to have been wiped from the records.

“...men and women who leave their home every day and strap a gun to their hip, leave the safety and security of their families to defend this nation, and to defend their neighborhoods”

What is it with the posts about shit that make people hit it out of the park?

Oh, fuck you.

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

“The shitters are getting bolder” is a phrase I never thought would pass through my mind, yet here we are.

First you say he’s too good for the minor leagues, then you say he should be playing for the Blue Jays. Which is it?
