Don’t go at my dad. He’s one of the best people I’ve ever known in my life. His faith being a cornerstone of his good soul. I’m an atheist who thinks the Catholic Church can go fuck itself, but don’t come for my dad.

Even as a young Catholic girl, surrounded by critical adults, I got what she was doing. Agree or disagree but it fucking made sense.

This.

Burying those bodies was the least horrific thing they did to those same bodies.

And then the following week Joe Pesci fucking taped it back together and -unironically - modestly held it up to show the audience. After which he said “I would have given her such a smack.”

I don’t think anyone has ever issued her an apology, even though - when you hear her reasoning behind the stunt - she was in the right. A decade before the public at large acknowledged abuse and cover-ups within/by the Catholic Church, Sinead called them out on it and tried to bring it out of the shadows.

And it’s not…

But when she ripped up that photo, Sinead was protesting and trying to get public attention on the Magdalene laundries that were yet another Catholic Church horror show. (And more to come!)

I’m not surprised at all. I’m more surprise that when he did choose a woman she isn’t blonde.

Is there anything that Trump will do capable of shocking us anymore?

I always have a star for a “binders full of Women reference”

Well if you’re a woman advanced enough in your career to be a US Attorney you are way too old to hold Donald Trump’s attention for more than 30 seconds. So, it’s understandable.

Those are in a secure place

At least he’s proving he’s Not Racist as well as Not Sexist. /s

It’s not his fault Mitt Romney wouldn’t share his binders.

This is literally the least surprising thing that has ever happened.
