It’s known as arguing in the alternative, and it’s perfectly valid.

It’s not a favor, it’s recognition that the mechanism in place—as imperfect as it is—is the best hope we have of avoiding a calamitous presidency.

why do racist ass white women keep ruining their hair in the same way

Best take away: “I don’t see color.”

I hate this woman. There, I said it.

They should probably vet him before he visits. Then put him through some advanced interrogation, just to determine what his intentions are. Then if necessary, place him in some sort of camp until they determine what to do with people of his kind.

The issue here that no one ever seems to want to talk about, in terms of “$15/hr will hurt businesses!” is American capitalism and its steadfast belief that not just the most important thing, but the only important thing, is maximizing profit and, thus, value to shareholders. This is why we have companies with…

It’s all true! We would have to raise the prices of goods like the “Big Mac” by over 4%! I’m not going to live in an America where I have to pay an additional $0.17 for a shitty hamburger just so that a bunch of poors can earn a living wage!

Seven decades of data say that isn’t what happens.

That is not how this works. When you consistently abuse a person, you don’t get to claim abuse when that person finally fights back.

According to her testimony (which the jury clearly believed), he raped her. If you’re looking for a logical connection between his actions and her reaction, here goes: she cut off his penis so he wouldn’t be able to rape her with it anymore.

Women are mutilated by their partners on such a regular basis that it barely makes the news. In my area alone in the last 2 years a woman’s husband cut her breasts off and a woman who went to my high school had acid thrown in her face by her bf. The acid thrower got a whopping 2 years in prison.

She was a victim of domestic violence. This was really flippant. Don’t tell care about his ordeal.

What if your nephew was like, “I’m not sure I’m even gonna vote. These people are both bad” on election day. But then the day after the election he wrote a blog on deadspin about how we’re all fucked because Trump won? What should I say to this specific type of shithead nephew?

you know what i will miss most about obama?

Thanks for the info. That would make this a case of selective enforcement, no? Or are schools and churches now being raided for selling illegal cupcakes and brownies?

I can understand the need for the law, but jail time seems absurd considering the context. Even three years probation seems ridic.

So, school and church bake sales are illegal in California?

The law isn’t bullshit, sending her to jail is.

Well, perhaps that should be dealt with AS ASSAULT and not as an issue of the victim? And then also, maybe we could work on our culture to stop tolerating kids and adults perpetrating violence based on gender and sexuality?
