Get bent, troll.

I have always had the impression she is only a Democrat because she thought it would be an easier route to office and she doesn’t really believe in the ideas of the Democratic Party.
Amy needs the VP candidate to be a WOC because then she can say she lost because the person was a minority. If a white woman becomes the running mate, then she’d have to acknowledge the choice wasn’t about race and was about Amy as an individual.
Nothing says “we’re doing what our constituents want” like holding a secret vote at 12:30 in the morning and using armed guards to make sure the public cannot participate.
The best part is he then asks one of his staff if they had ever heard of it before, and the staffer points out that Trump’s own White House had issued a statement commemorating Juneteenth LAST YEAR.
Milquetoast Amy was somehow considered a contender way, way back. Uncle Joe stated he would name a woman to the ticket, so of course he kept her name in there rather than piss off the few remaining Klobucharites. Amy had not fucking chance and would’ve been smart to step away and made this statement months ago. This…
Also barf worthy - TN passed the most restrictive abortion ban in the country last night/this morning. at 12:30AM. They traded a tax cut to for the vote on the ban and snuck that shit in last minute, after stating it wouldn’t be a priority. closed the doors and had armed patrol keeping the public out.
I am so with you—this was her way to passively-aggressively shiv Elizabeth Warren and try to regain control of the narrative once it was confirmed she would not be chosen as Biden’s running mate. Ewww.
I have been trying to avoid the news this week to just take a break from my head exploding(I live downtown and between the sirens and helicopters...I just realized I needed a detox from the constant news updates), but I’ve still been reading the paper and coming on here and this quote is just so...shameful. I know he…
It looks like it was shot from the other side of the room by someone who has never heard of a zoom button.
In a few weeks? You mean you haven’t been doing it already?
That zero sum mentality is honestly such a challenge. It’s how we end up with this All Lives Matter bullshit, because people are so worried that someone saying Black Lives Matter must imply that their own life matters less in that moment.
“Instead, point out how boring it is to think people should be punished if they don’t conform. How tedious it is to think that the contours of your own thought enclose all that is worth knowing. How embarrassing it is to be cruel.”
I think there are two categories of TERFs, or at least that’s been my experience with them. There’s the truly unhinged, who think men are actually transitioning so they can use public bathrooms and rape women. Those people are hopeless. Then there are the TERFs-Lite, for lack of a better term, who don’t deny trans…
Imagine being so secure in your job and so protected from the consequences of your poor performance that your employer will hire a consultant to work with you just so you can achieve minimal competence at the thing they hired you to do
“These views and actions do not represent ABC News’s values. We just hired her, supported her, and protected her from the numerous complaints.”
Let’s take this a step farther. Even if he did grab the taser, the cops were the ones who escalated the situation by tasing him in the first place. This is a guy drunk enough to pass out in a car in a drive thru. Even a sober person who gets tased is liable to fight back. But a very-drunk person isn’t in the right…
And to all the fascists and/or bigots coming with the “What else could they have done???? He was drunk driving!!!!!”
And on the anniversary of the Pulse massacre, too. “Evil” gets thrown around a lot these days to describe a whole spectrum of bad people who may or may not deserve it, but I truly believe that this admin and the assholes who make it up are absolutely evil to the core. Like, the main things standing between them and…
In 2020 in America, according to the president, kneeling during the national anthem is so disrespectful to the American military as to be borderline treason, and anyone who does it is a son of a bitch who should be fired, but the legacy of ACTUAL TRAITORS responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of…
