He told the both sides lie. The republican governor, republican lieutenant governor and republican attorney general of his state are the ones blocking the gun measures he would like to see in his state. 

Dude is a cult leader. These women will cry about in a documentary years from now. But they will have no excuse. They are grown women choosing to be (in)famous, well compensated incubators for his baby factory fetish. 

Yup. Congress is going to make this poor young girl relive her trauma only for republicans to do absolutely nothing to make retraumizing her worth it. This is what it has come to. GOP adults need to hear trauma porn from kids, just to make them feel something about protecting kids in schools. It’s unjustifiable.

The Supreme Court is also scheduled to dump other terrible decisions on gun control and climate change that go against what the citizens want. In addition to gutting Roe. The right wing members of the court are poised to strike down laws in the few states that don’t allow guns in public and require special permits…

The above author does. The authors of the Rollingstone article cited do not. The Rollingstone headline says she was “conned” with multiple paragraphs in the article using words like “manipulated” “duped” “surprised”. The last paragraphs have mild allusions about how she could be surprised when everyone knew what…

Journalists are failing this country and our democracy. The framing by Rolling Stone is completely irresponsible. Simply parroting what you have been told by officials is not reporting. That is PR.

The NRA will release a plan to arm nurses and doctors by the morning. Scalpel in one hand, gun in the other hand. This is AmeriKKKa. 

The culture warification of everything led us to this deeply stupid end. The right wing weirdos have been waiting for anything to lead a backlash against women who speak out about abuse. The Depp stans are useful idiots for the right wing MRA anger that women are being listened to in any way. 

The judge said “The statement is the headline and not the entire op-ed.” In any case, those two statements do not change the headline. They support the headline in that she was speaking out about her experience talking about domestic abuse and how she was received. 

This ruling should be appealed. Although Heard might be too fucking exhausted to put herself through it again. The jury was asked to rule on the headline alone

This is weird. Covering gossip is part of the business model of this site. Shoehorning politics into what is essentially a fluff piece is forced high minded nonsense. It’s dumb that politicians are covered like celebrities. But y’all can’t have it both ways. The principled thing is to ignore it or suck it up and cover…

Y’all have these superhero fantasies that have no bearing in real life. Research shows you are more likely to harm yourself with weapons than attackers. Attackers are more likely to turn said weapons on you. Also there is the risk of friendly fire. What’s to let another “good guy with a gun” looking to protect the vuln…

Even armed police are too afraid to confront shooters. But republicans demand teachers lay down their lives to stop shooters. Armed police hesitate to attack shooters, yet this mad country thinks training 5 year olds to attack with scissors is the answer.

This is what passes for intellectual thought on the right. Why stop at homeschooling? Letting your kids out to go to church, malls, movies, parties, parades, the park etc should also be stopped.  The big galaxy brained idea from the “freedumz” crowd is to restrict freedoms. Amazing. 

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The NRA should simply tell the secret service to ban people, not guns, from the hall. Problem solved.

It makes no sense that the Republican Party is able to sell itself as the family values, protect the children party when they continue to enable these tragedies. Most people agree with gun control. How do we keep ending up with leaders who think women should be controlled and forced to give up their lives for fetuses,…

The GOP: We endorse spreading unfounded rumors about Jewish space lasers setting homes ablaze. But rumors about coke and sex orgies is where we draw the line.

Agreed and it reveals the end game. The goal is not to examine the extent of the baby formula scarcity or to argue for solutions. It is about the instinctive view of another group as unworthy. Therefore those babies are more deserving of a real or imagined hardship scenario of starvation than “God fearing, tax…

It would help if journalists/commentariat who push the “it’s the economy” narrative took a clear look at their relatives and their communities which they coddle with this explanation. We are all feeling these scarcities together and the baby food scarcity is no different. Yet some people will get to say voting for the…

The GOP use the distraction by stocking hate at another group tactic because it works so well. Guaranteed to ensure their base don’t notice the GOP either created the problem or is doing nothing to address it. And it works because that is exactly what the base wants. If anyone of any race/class/education/political…
