I find it rather disconcerting all the negative reaction from people on the left to this. I think she messages like a very traditional woman candidate focusing on issues related to children and education but her voice is worth hearing. I don’t think she’s going to get the nomination but I think she has an impressive

I try hard to ignore Trump tweets but this pisses me off because vets are a huge chunk of the federal workforce and are a disproportionate chunk of the people working without pay or unable to work because of this stupid shutdown over his ego. Especially since my husband works for a federal agency overseeing 100 people

I don’t do football so I’m glad I don’t have to care about the halftime show this year. Kudos to all the people who turned down the gig for the right reasons. 

Oh piss off with your sad old virtue signaling. You’d take a look out of curiosity or you’re a liar. How many articles has Jez written about his dick but looking at a picture of it is where you draw the line?

Agreed. People deserve the ability to change and redeem their reputation. For me personally that’s just part of my values to treat others like I would want others to treat me, but when people act like victims because of what they themselves have done I have no sympathy. 

He’s only a virgin if you don’t count all the men he’s slept with. 

I know a kid just died from this, but wtf? 

I don’t understand why they keep granting her interviews and putting her on television. I think there should be some self-imposed standard of decency that says you don’t repeatedly give a platform to mentally ill people trying to emotionally abuse a prominent family member. 

This just reminds me of Courtney Taylor Taylor from the Dandy Warhols, who is commonly known as a local douche-bag who owns a wine bar here in Portland. I saw Macauley with his horrible “band” playing percussion on pizza boxes while butchering Velvet Underground songs a few years ago and it made me sad for the plight

Eric and Jr. definitely are because they look like children of the corn, but Ivanka? I have a hard time believing she’s their full sibling. Maybe someone else sired her. 

I hate generalizing about people of any particular national origin but Russians to me seem obsessed with ostentatious displays of wealth, some degree of unspoken criminality, and racism/homophobia/anti-semitism. I honestly am somewhat surprised that they have women in positions of political power, though, because if I

My immediate reaction was how pissed off and hurt the wife must be, but then I looked into it and they’re both doctors who are the type of doctors who get involved in politics because they think as doctors they don’t make enough money. Anyway, she is (was?) an OBGYN and this seems pretty typical of her reviews:

When you cross the gays this shit will happen, lol. 

I believe her rationale but find it disappointing and a cop-out. I don’t think it’s appropriate to call for her removal without full knowledge of the strength of the case she had and a lot of that unfortunately does hinge on how the jury judges the victim, certainly with a jury in Waco, Texas. I am far less upset with

Perhaps in part but he did say a lot of nasty and untrue things about her on twitter, a public platform. The elements of defamation:

Because he’s a child who doesn’t care about policy as long as he’s chopping down any policies promoted by Obama. 

Can I just say that the Bible says fucking nothing about this so people using it as a shield to treat people like shit is disgusting. 

So big problem is she’s already married to a dude Ben Domenech who happens to be the publisher of the Federalist. If you want to see why you should quit pretending Meghan McCain is a decent human being mozy on over there and read the comments. It’s a cesspool of filth worse than Fox News. 

I don’t know if anyone’s ever bought a Betsey Johnson dress but my friend used to work there are sold a $400 dollar dress to Beth Ditto and it ripped apart when she was trying it on in the store. Beth was characteristically gracious about it but man those dresses were overprices and definitely made worse than Forever

Grijalva should sue Zinke for defamation. Carol Burnett successfully sued the National Enquirer for libel when they said she was an alcoholic in spite of there being a higher bar for her as a public figure.
