You seriously misunderstand me; I’m talking legal grievances. You can complain about PP all you want, just like I’m complaining about CPCs, but this notion of “This goes against my beliefs therefore it can’t happen” has no legal basis. Now sure, you can call your lawmakers and try and change the law, but you can’t sue…

“Beliefs trump facts (or at least they should)”

Oookay, I think we’re done here. I really don’t know what else to say to someone who doesn’t think that facts matter; why teach 1 + 1 = 2 if someone sincerely believes it’s 3? Why enforce speeding limits when someone sincerely believes 55mph is safe in a residential zone;…

Fun fact: unless you are personally harmed by how your taxes are used, you don’t have standing to challenge them. As a Virginia resident, my tax dollars support Crisis Pregnancy Centers, something I’m very opposed to. But unless I go into one and receive false information that then leads to harm, I have no standing to…

Not sure what your point is? We all have beliefs, and we’re all entitled to act on them accordingly; what we’re not allowed to do is make others follow our beliefs. They get to follow theirs.

“there are *some* people whose beliefs about abortion are in good faith, people who simply believe that “a person’s a person, no matter how small” and see no difference between abortion and any “other” kind of killing.”

Yeah, the problem here is it’s still their belief, not a fact society as a whole accepts. For…

Hmm, I think you’re getting way too caught up in your own morality, and that it’s tripping you up when it comes to advocating for reproductive rights. You don’t have to like abortion. But you do need to come to terms that others have differing views, like myself. I honestly believe that life doesn’t begin until…

No crucifying coming from me, I promise!

Ok, so having said that, I would just like to say that I have yet to hear from anyone who “likes” abortion; that is, I’ve never heard of anyone who think it’s something that *should* happen, just something that does. However, there are plenty of us who are morally ok with it,…

I was so mad at the world when I got arrested. I ended up just paying a bigass fine cause it was my first offense (and I’m white), but the entire time I was in cuffs I was just so so pisssssed. When the main officer told us seriously that we were “criminals now”, it took everything I had not to roll my eyes. Like,…

I wish women like her would take their own advice; shut up and go make me a sandwich. Preferably with extra mayo, cause this feminist needs those extra calories to deal with shit like this.

It’s so frustrating, because I agree with almost all of their policy positions (overturn Citizens United! Tax the rich!), but their “all or nothing” approach drives me up the wall. They want to hold the party ransom to their own demands, then get upset when centrist and moderate Dems aren’t their biggest fans. Bottom…

I am so nervous for Virginia, my state of residence! Right now we’re cool (Thank you, Terry McAuliffe!), but he can’t run again, and our Democratic base is currently being torn apart by Bernie and his goddamn brogressives. I’m knocking on wood that everyone comes to their senses and votes for WHICHEVER Democrat wins…

Really? I’ve tried so hard to see it as black and blue, but the closest I’ve gotten is a very thin “Mayyyyybbe” when I tilt my computer screen like, all the way back. It’s white and gold, and my sleeping hours are 3am-11am, so idk what the hell anyone is talking about.

I use this exact toothpaste and can testify that yes, storing it that way will keep these ungodly messes from happening. It’s really not that hard, folks.

Heh, the schadenfreude has never tasted better!

“revealed that in her forthcoming book, she will tackle the role misogyny played in the election.”

Yeah, have fun with that. I know it, she knows it, most of her voters know it, but try telling that to any of the Bros and you’ll get a five paragraph long tirade filled with enough righteous indignation to make you…

“I don’t know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I am doing.”

Translation: Oh c’mon, you peasants, don’t tell me you wouldn’t take the opportunity to seize some [legally gray] power if your…

I’m gonna have to print this out and keep it on hand to properly motivate me when the day comes to finally make a stab at cleaning out my Mom’s basement. The house was built by my grandmother, nobody has lived in it but my family, and we all have a “sentimentality” gene, so god know what all is down there. The last…

Yeah, you’re right, which is why that percentage of my want is so low. At the very least though, he’d be around to be put on the list of “No help for these fuckers” aka the running list of climate change deniers who should be refused help when resources become scarce. Eat your bootstraps, jackasses.

The most frustrating thing about assholes like this guy is their age. 77? Goddamn it, he’s wrong, he’s gonna be proved wrong, we’re all gonna suffer because people like him were wrong, but he’ll be ash and bones by the time any of it comes to pass. It’s aggravating enough that a teeny tiny part of me (like, 3%) wants…

Preach it. One of my (straight, white, liberal, male) friends has been on a real Maher streak as of late, with his favorite subject being those intolerant liberal college kids; you know, the ones that object to having openly awful human beings being given a platform to speak at their place of learning. He’s always…
