I’d also add that the general public is really ignorant. This applies regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status- we really do have an under-educated, non-informed, and disinterested general public. Before I started working with them (originally retail, now I’m with the public library) if someone had asked me if…

Man, I was feeling their angst before I even hit my teenage years. I was the weirdo in my fifth grade class for being obsessed with “Dreams” and quoting the lyrics at random. This news is so sad.

“According to Brown-Berry, the school also condescendingly claimed that the assignment was meant to get students thinking about why white people used to think that slavery was good”

But that’s the problem with liberals, we need to understand and empathize with where Trump voters are coming from. /s

Doges (dogi?) make everything better.

“He sounds like he’s a few steps away from killing someone.”

I sincerely hope he doesn’t, but if that awfulness comes to pass, it would be mighty ironic if it were his ultimate enablers (HIS PARENTS) who paid the price.

The problem is that Democrat and Republican voters react verrrry differently to political theatre. Republicans have a blind partisan loyalty problem that allows them to blot out any bad side effects to their politicians ruthlessly pursuing their goals- they’ll forgive them for freaking anything when it comes time to…

Good on them!

I do hope the new owners continue to let the parks be parks though, and don’t sell out to let them become parking garages or condos.

And as long as we let them set and determine the course of the conversation, they’ll win. There’s a reason they’re focusing on the doctors, and not the women; going after the women is still politically untenable. Before the goalposts move, pro-choicers need to get in front of them.

Or we could post eye rolling Gifs…

Was the genius commentator aware that this could be further used in defense of reproductive rights? I’m going to guess no.

Reading comprehension: try it!

THIS is what we need to hammer home when pro-birthers talk about the unborn and sanctity of life. Being truly consistent in a “pro-life” manner means treating each and every miscarriage as a possible murder- after all, “someone” has died. The goalposts of this debate haven’t moved yet, the American pro-birth movement…

I’ve had some luck taking their viewpoint to it’s logical and horrifying conclusion; investigate women who miscarry and jail those who may have done something to cause it. Most pro-birthers I’ve told this to balk at the idea of forcing a woman who’s undergone a miscarriage to report it to the police, be interviewed,…

I put sunscreen on my eyelids, but that’s because I’ve actually had mine burned-I’m a redhead who fell asleep once on the beach, and the shade I was in moved. Burned eyelids feel swollen, heavy, and tight, and you look high as shit. But they do provide endless entertainment for your more melanin gifted friends- “You…

Well, when you use “we” as a generalization, don’t be surprised when someone points out that it is in fact, not entirely accurate. Bill Clinton being used as some example of how hypocritical Democrats are is getting pretty weak as it happened so long ago that it no longer applies to an entire generation of voters.

As…

What “we” do you speak of? I’m a lifelong Democrat voter, and I’ve never voted for Bill Clinton. Of course, then again, I’m only in my mid-thirties.

Seriously, if you have to reach back past a whole generation of voters to find a politician to hang around Democrat’s necks, you’re not making a convincing case.

This is what I was thinking. The SC may be anti-abortion rights, but it would still be a stretch for them so say that CPC’s have MORE freedom of speech rights then actual clinics.
Then again I’m applying basic logic to an issue where it’s most lacking, so who knows. :-/

This is all in line with her “do whatever it takes to get mine” approach to life. She thought a Clinton victory would secure her as head of the DNC for the next 8 years, so she crossed lines trying to make it happen. (Do I think the DNC “rigged” the primary? No, that’s dumb. Do I think they obviously favored one…

If I’m mad at the DNC for anything, it’s for keeping her around. Like, how does she still have a job? She needs to be fired, and branded as politically poisonous, and never, ever be allowed near anything Democrat run at all.

It’s unbelievably disrespectful and cruel to the Rich family, who has made it very clear that they don’t want their dead son to be used as the face for some insane conspiracy theory. The fact that Brazile is going there shows how craven and selfish she is and just cannot be trusted. And the BernieBros supporting her…

I’m going to have to add an echo here with another “Never.”

They will do whatever it takes to maintain a rabidly loyal base. That base will NEVER tolerate them expanding the government safety net, providing a pathway to citizenship, relaxing even a little on gay rights, reproductive choice, etc. You know what that base…

Well now I think we’re talking about different groups of people. If folks aren’t a member of a church and have stopped attending Mass, they’re not the ones I’m talking about. I mean, they can call themselves whatever they want, but they’ve taken their membership and the power it holds out of the equation, which it…
