Health care expansion was popular with polls supporting 70-80% higher than support for abortion. Yes, the ACA became unpopular when the conservatives had a racist backlash to health care expansion plans that most of them supported and many already implemented in their states. By the time the racist “Obamacare” label,…

Not to mention this majority lasted for all of 72 days. ACA that this writer now sneers at, was also widely popular. Yet it took all the democratic political capital available at the time to pass it. I am only a couple of years older than this writer. But the very online young lefty crowd are embarrassingly ignorant…

The one upside to pride in the face of racism was that it was protective. Our beauty insecurities were not seen in white girl insecurities, so we got the “unfriendly black hotties” label. However, black girls were largely protected from the diet culture/pro ana culture of the 1990s/2000s. Black women were phat and…

This is the republican mindset pathology: It happened to me, therefore it is a real problem. It happens to others? Not a problem.

You gotta respect this dude’s commitment to failing upwards loudly and publicly. It’s American meritocracy performance art. 

Indeed. Nobody should have to look at that punchable face everyday. But she will have him handled. She’s got that serene kill them with kindness poise. The clownery will only feed her youthful, highly melanated glow.

Good job, buddy. You can read, but still fail at comprehension. Jurists don’t have to reach to the 17th century to justify anti-roberry precedent. There is enough precedent in majority societal attitudes and legal rulings here and now to support an anti-roberry. Therefore anti-roberry rulings are not archaic or out of…

FFS the point is not old equals bad. There are opinions then and now stating murder is wrong. You don’t have to reach back for support of that opinion now, because we all still agree that said opinion on murder equally protects us all. Having to reach all the way back 4-5 centuries because this century’s opinion on…

The cruel nostalgia for the good old days of complete disregard for women’s lives is the point. Dude had to reach all the way back to the 17th century Puritanism for support of a ruling designed to affect 21st century lives. When they believed placing the father’s hat on a laboring woman’s belly relieved childbirth…

Girl, stop. You didn’t even do the minimum of both siding. You set all the blame at democrat’s feet. By the way, when was the time Democrats had the super majority in both house and senate needed to codify abortion? For all the talk pretending otherwise, the Supreme Court is very much a political institution. The…

Or one can do some basic reasoning and work out Team A keeps the current partial abortion access, expands health care partially and expanded voting rights partially. Versus team B who wants to erase any partial progress in these issues. Less than what you want is better than none of what you want. It’s pretty…

Lol this is why democrats lose every time. Even when republicans gut you, y’all’s first instinct is to blame each other instead of rallying against the fuckers who just shanked your freedoms. Y’all are going to do this both sides bullshit and inertia yourself into losing congress in November too. Obergefell is next.…

The Republican projection rule remains undefeated. If the GOP are wailing about it, best believe it is secretly their kink.

And Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Greenwald, Josh Barro. Actually may have been unfair to the broettes there. The bigotry bros have most of it well in hand. With assist from TERFs/lesbian TERFs, but only men are “thought leaders”. Hence the erasure even when they are serving male supremacy.

This is on the white gay bros and broettes who went full transphobic, racist for anti-cancel culture and anti-CRT clout. Clowning it up with white supremacy because they thought gay marriage was safe and “settled”. Well. Surprise, motherfuckers.

I’m convinced these fringe republican run for office just to get a larger audience to rope into their sexual fantasies. The repressed fucks are into non-consensual involvement of the public into their depraved delusions. 

The insurrection literally “goes all the way to the top”. They are the “Deep State” they rave madly about. The president, members of the senate, the house of reps and wife of a justice of the Supreme Court are all complicit. It doesn’t get more “Cabal” than this.

This is going to be a White and Gold v Blue and Black cultural moment. The problem is these people know each other well enough to have avoided this. Chris Rock ought to know by now she is not choosing to rock the GI Jane look. Will Smith knows Chris Rock well enough to make his displeasure known in strong terms later.…

He is there in a humanitarian capacity, not holding court on the geopolitics of war. So yes, he is making a humanitarian assessment of the loss. Putin, Russians who support him and the Ukrainians in Crimea, Donbas etc who support him would argue this is not a “conquest”. Since Russians and Ukrainians being ethnically…

Except nobody is making these semantic arguments when thinking about war as humanitarian disasters. He isn’t talking about the political definitions of war in his quote. He is talking about the devastation. There have been no inter wars among countries in Africa. They have also been called “civil wars” or “conflicts”. …
