The damn press is still doing it too! Just yesterday Politico ran an article with a headline like, “Mike Pompeo says the transition to Trump’s next term in January will be smooth.” That headline gives credence to all the shit-spewing these shit-goblins are doing! Media framing is important, and our dumbass media…

So basically “it’s not fair that people didn’t vote for Trump” + “I came to intimidate voters, and am upset at how easily intimidated I am”?

What you did there, it has been seen.

This is a case study of how harmful “both sides” journalism can be. Voter ID laws first started bubbling up during the Bush administration, around 2003 and 2004. The framing of the surrounding controversy in the mainstream media was always some version of “Democrats say [X], while Republicans say [Y],” i.e. “Democrats…

Remember the Lt Gov in Texas offering $1M was offering for evidence of voter fraud? Well the Lt Gov in Pennsylvania sure does, and he wants to collect.

A “friend” of mine on Facebook (someone I went to college with and haven’t hung out with in almost 20 years now) went on a bizarre defense of Toobin when this news originally broke, acting as if his colleagues were somehow terrible people for reporting his actions. Of course her comments lit up very quickly as…

Adding the years of service makes me think he had his dick out on a regular basis - more than we realized.

Obviously. The fact that he jerked it DURING a work session - regardless of whether he thought the camera was on or off, and I’m inclined to believe he knew it was on and was getting a thrill from forcing the women present to witness his manhood in all its glory - shows he thought he was above such petty concerns as…

I love how he deemed it necessary to state how many years he was on staff- was that an innocent detail or does he think that 27 years of service should permit him to masturbate to a video feed of his coworkers without consequence? I’m not feeling particularly generous, so I’ll go with the latter

His statement reads like a company that has no loyalty to its workers instead of a guy who should have already been let go and possibly sued because he yanked his crank during a work meeting. For fuck’s sake.

Right? The supporting allegations of his coworkers seems almost cartoonish. I’ve met and known plenty of people who don’t want children and don’t see a need to procreate, but I’ve never come across a workplace where an employee who is expecting a child would be routinely mocked by multiple other employees. 

Even if that’s not why he was fired, that sounds a bizarely anti-child workplace. I’ve worked with adamantly childfree and chatty child-having people, and even if they bitched behind each other’s backs about their different choices, they were always decent humans to their face.  What the hell are these comments?  What…

Some of it’s weird but: being fired right after coming off 2 weeks’ paternity leave? That seems clear-cut as fuck.

Sometimes US jurisprudence is so fucking stupid. Its amazing how judges can focus so narrowly on what the defendant is suing for and than other cases they turn decision into multi-headed hydras of whatever suits that judges personal preferences.

This is what she should have been grilled about. Not hypothetical cases that any jurist worth thier salt would refuse to comment on.

Was the judge Amy Coney Barrett?

Why would the stars of the Avengers’ movies holding a fundraiser for Joe Biden be a “debacle”.

Yet those same ones if she wasn’t religious or muslim, would be going apeshit over that.

It is relevant when you’re trying to impose your beliefs on people who don’t share them. Barrett has written articles and given lectures where she encourages law students to use the law to create a kingdom of God. She’s entitled to her beliefs but when she views the law as a vehicle to impose her beliefs and therefore…

Yes. Critical examination of philosophical\religious beliefs is not tantamount to “persecution”. As has been pointed out so many times, it’s rich that the fascists mock liberals for being snowflakes when they bray so loudly about being victims....while they’re the ones in power.
