I work in the foundation world. The trump foundation, like all of trump’s enterprises, is nakedly corrupt. It’s sort of shocking, because usually people try to hide or obfuscate that stuff. But here he is blatently self-dealing and paying off buddies/accepting ‘donations’ from people who owe him favors. His chutzpah…

Muse, the Gorillaz, Weezer, and the Killers have all sold gajillions of albums. Muse and the Gorillaz are international stars. I could see any of them being worth way more than haim, especially if the festivals were trying to attract people who would pay for VIP seats and buy a bunch of shit, something a 22 year old…

There’s actually a movement towards this, with the idea that salary transparency will make it harder to screw people over and make it harder to pay people inequitably.

That was my thought, but then they probably know who the artist was, and from a cursory look at the festivals they played last year, I didn’t see anyone who was 10x more popular than they are.

In my limited experience, most black metal bands take it VERY seriously. I read a book about the original norwegian and swedish scene, and they were all super serious. black metal is basically what happens when the type of boy who in the U.S. would either join a white supremacist militia and/or conduct a school…

Also, keep in mind that they are headquartered in San Francisco, a city and region that is very anti-gun, and where the african-american population is disproportionately poor and disproportionately affected by gun violence. This is the most tone deaf shit ever.

I think we can admit that clinton is a fucking sleazebag and move on. It’s amazing how much ink the conservatives are spending on the clintons to redirect from the fact that trump is literally the worst. We get it, clinton was a sleazy womanizer. he was also the last good republican president, so whatevs.

It’s hard to imagine someone calling Malia or Sasha a c*nt and Obama not catching some major (and deserved) feelings over it.

I mean, an argument can be made that Ivanka is beautiful , powerful, and possibly nurturing (I don’t know what her relationship to her kids is). She is clearly not honest. Sally Field rules. I love when celebrities get too old to give a fuck AND their politics agree with mine.

Well, my main takeaway from this debacle is that climate change is real, black lives matter, immigrant rights are human rights and ICE is the new gestapo.

It’s that too.

You’re probably right, although it looks like bee apologized for her language.

When trump supporters are chanting “Animals!” in response to “MS-13!” at a rally, don’t you think they feel that same sense of self-righteousness?

The conservative screaming heads whole schtick is to say, basically : Liberals! They are just as shady and shitty as us! I don’t know how doing the same thing is any more moral.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be angry. I’m not we shouldn’t call them out on their shit and fight back hard. I’m just saying we should be able to do that without being hateful. I’m just reacting to a lot of what I’m seeing online, which is liberals resorting to name-calling people on the right, making gross…

Touche. I include myself in my reprimand, btw.

Unpopular opinion: being shitty to a shitty person is still shitty, and calling a woman a cunt, while not as bad as calling an African American an ape, is still pretty fucking shitty. I think we can tear down Ivanka without resorting to gendered slurs and contributing to the general level of vitriol and disrespect in…

His argument is that she never said anything to him about the incident until 10 years later. he brings in cera as someone who was close to her at the time and reasonably could be assumed to know if something had happened to her that upset her. I don’t know how that is racist and sexist. It’s not invalidating her…

I guess, but I think in general when people are accused of being racist, the implication is that they are horrible people and no longer be welcome in polite society. At least in social media circles, it is rarely a “hey, you did this thing which to me felt racist and hurtful, so please stop,” it’s a way of shutting…

The guy is a racist, unbalanced jerk who has a history of being a racist, unbalanced jerk, but would any of us deal well with being being hounded by reporters about a video of something stupid we did going viral?
