I think people of color have been saying it pretty much since forever, too, so let’s not go there.

Okay, but—and I say this as someone so white that I actually glow a blinding pale purple in bright sunlight—all of us white people benefit from white supremacy. White supremacists look at us and categorize us as one of their own until proven otherwise, and, far too often, we shelter them among us in kind. White…

Seriously; I’ve always thought that white supremacy is the surest admission that both white supremacists in specific and the “white race” as a whole are the very picture of mediocrity—after all, if they (we) were actually objectively superior in any way, even just on average, there wouldn’t be any need to actively…

If most Republicans disavow those people, how did Trump get voted in, when he was blatantly catering to them even as far back as a year before the election? For that matter, how did he win the primary? Sure, they may *say* they don’t want that element in their party, but clearly, white supremacy isn’t really a…

Hahahahaha... ha... ha... *takes deep pull from flask*

That’s exactly what I came here to say!

I definitely know that feel. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll be on a hair-trigger for the next year or so, where even only-slightly-callous comments send you into a barely controllable murderous rage and then several hours of bawling hysterically while hiding in a closet.

(ugh, Kinja)

Jesus, you’d think it’d be easier to just go back to school...
(I know that’s not *really* what it’s about, but even as shitty excuses go, that’s a pretty shitty excuse)

I don’t know what body part most precisely correlates with which state, but I do know that the small animals of New Hampshire, and no other place in my whole drive from North Carolina to Maine, tried to throw themselves in front of my car at a shocking rate.

...wh—what?

Eh, I agree with your point, but not guilty by reason of insanity doesn’t just mean that you’re mentally ill, it means not only that you were totally and completely disconnected from reality, but also that if what you believed happened, had actually happened, you would’ve been justified in doing what you did.

Sociopaths can often feign emotional states very convincingly, and if appearing to have social anxiety benefits them in some way, then there’s not really any reason for them not to do it.

Is there anyone who knows Ted Cruz who *doesn’t* openly hate him?

Intent was part of the law she was accused of breaking, which the FBI could not find evidence of. You can, however, intend to do an illegal act without realizing that it’s illegal. For example, in some jurisdictions, merely conceiving of a plan to kill someone, and then taking any tangible step whatsoever towards…

...I am definitely going to use this excuse from now until I hit menopause, and probably for some years thereafter.

Obama does have a great smile, and a pretty good body for his age, but that just lands him firmly at “above average attractiveness,” not, “holy mother, what a hottie!”

“Hung like a pedestal table” is my new favorite phrase ever.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who had that thought. It was said in such a way that it definitely could’ve been the confused ramblings of an unwell man, but it so closely hewed to the Republican strategies of obfuscating the facts that I’m not entirely certain that it wasn’t a purposeful attempt to muddy the waters.
