she’s not as bad as Trump.

I think that you are over-estimating Hillary’s appeal. I agree that the Dems should be winning by a landslide even if we had a tree-stump as the candidate. With that said, Hillary has some serious flaws as a candidate. I really wish Elizabeth Warren were the candidate instead. Hell, I think Bernie would have probably…

I feel this way about attacks on Christie’s weight. Yes, he’s an asshole, but it’s rude and lazy and we’re better than this.

Yeah, no doors at all. I’ve heard some places have what look like vents of some sort, but you take off the grating and they lead to the crawlspace? Otherwise you literally crawl under the house from a designated area outside. It is full of mud and bugs and serial killers and general ick.

oh oh! i just remembered a house i once looked at and then declined to buy. the realtor called it a half basement. it was attached to the house, in the sense that the kitchen had a trap door leading down into it. so it was just a half height basement. the thing you are talking about sounds like there was no door into…

This isn’t UCLA’s best friends dorm!!!

I think that the most important thing that people are trying to tell you is that making a thread on an article about rape all about your feelings and you trying to get your point across is not a good look. And now you’re dragging it up again. Your comment about your feelings is at the top.

we need to get rid of this idea that flag=veterans. when did the flag start to stand for veterans? i thought it stood for this whole damn country, not just ONE PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE. the flag stands for all of us, good and bad both. there are over three hundred million people in this country. inevitably, in a…

Oh shut the fuck up, Emily.

I know reaching out again is a bad idea. It doesn’t make the urge to any less. But I’m fairly certain if I did, the outcome would make me feel shitty.

Omarosa begs the question: What in the holy hell did Michael Clark-Duncan see in her?

Lol, I’m now imagining all sorts of job descriptions based on how sexist racist jerks actually do their jobs.

The fist does NOT COME FROM BLACK LIVES MATTER!!! It was used by black people fighting for civil rights in the 60's...Blm and the black power fist ain't synonymous

I honestly didn’t mean to conflate the two. Matthews is a pig. But Melania is also not a shining example of feminism — and not because she does a photo shoot like the one seen in the first photo (*cough* at the insistence of her husband *cough*), but because there’s extremely little about her life that demonstrates…

Seriously! I’m catching so much shit for this. Apparently I’m a trump supporter/defender bc I don’t think it’s ok for Matthews to cat call a woman on national television. Wow.

Yeah, I'm not at all a trump supporter in case that wasn't clear. I'm just not ok giving Matthews a pass bc melania has posed nude in the past.

Discussing Melania and the larger context and motivation behind trophy wives and the ethics of modeling and how she would affect women’s issues if she were first lady- all of that is a valid discussion, I agree.

That discussion is also completely irrelevant to the fact that Chris Matthews behaved inappropriately.…

Nonsense. This way of thinking is part of the problem. Melania has been a model. I think she’s also a trophy wife, though I don’t know for sure, and I can’t imagine that having her as first lady would do anything for women’s rights in the US. None of this has anything to do with the fact that it is entirely…

Umm, sure...but how does any of that in any way mitigate Matthew’s comments, which were gross, sexist, entirely unrelated to the political event at hand, and would’ve been inappropriate toward any woman regardless of her lifestyle choices?
