Churches with pastors that endorse political candidates should lose their tax exempt status, period.

You know, I get the sentiment. Really, I do. But I’d still take Al Franken over Cory “Big Pharma’s Bitch” Booker.

Arlen Specter was our senator at the time, and I remember my parents angrily declaring that they were never voting for him again because of how he treated Anita Hill.

She was a picture-perfect witness at that panel. I mean perfect, like out of a damn movie. She did an incredible job and they shat all over her. It was shameful and demoralizing and I was just watching it at the time. I was furious. I will never, ever forgive those men.

BRB, writing this fanfic.

I am too, but I really wish he had said, look I learned a lot from the Hill hearings, I think many of us did. If I had known then what I know now they would have looked differently. I made mistakes and have learned from them and tried to be better.

I love Joe Biden as much as the next person, but I will always hold the Anita Hill proceedings against him. He wasn’t the only person involved in the process, but as the person in charge he gets the most of the blame for what happened because it was in his power to fix it.

I PICK UP MY NEW BABY TONIGHT
ahhhhh I am so excited!! My friends call me the Cat Lady Without A Cat cause I love them so much but was never allowed to have one when I lived at home.

I bet the squirrel was making the same faces as the baby in the video when he got in.

I have had family members in the er/hospital off and on for the last 15 years, so I speak with the voice of experience when I say RAISE SOME HELL. See if there’s a hospital ombudsman available to be your voice (so you can concentrate on your husband) and also look into having that witch of a nurse disciplined, because…

Politics / Activism thread:

I celebrated five years sober on Wednesday. It still feels surreal sometimes. My daughter wrote the most beautiful, touching note to me. It was the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Been a rough week emotionally, these sexual assault revelations are super tough and bring up a lot of stuff. Hope everyone is doing okay.

I like this bit, it feels like proper Gawker shit

If the Democrats hold a house majority after the mid-terms, Nancy Pelosi would become President and serve the remainder of Trump’s term.

Well, the precedent is that they have been getting away with it. They’re only problem is that they were once behind the scenes and working in shady networks. Now they’re center stage and don’t understand why they can’t do the same corrupt and immoral shit they’ve been doing all along. They wave the curtain like they…

If you can stomach it, this Politico piece on how Trump’s base in PA feels about him now is worth reading just to illustrate how disconnected from reality these people are. It’s worse than even the caricatures of them suggest. There are plenty of jaw-dropping passages, but this one jumped out at me.

The level of sheer stupidity with these fuckers is just astounding. But then I’m reminded that these are guys who spent their entire lives getting away with everything. Where an average person would make an attempt to not get caught, they just think they can keep doing what they’ve been doing for decades.
