I learned it from watching YOU, all right? I learned it from you...

He turned a memorial service into a political spectacle and insulted the other victims and their families by doing so. and some of them are speaking up about it

Your whole comment is fire but “mourning theater” is the mic drop here. That’s exactly what it is, performative and shallow. It’s like a contest so see who can Never-Forget the hardest.

Imagine how rotten your heart must be - how spiritually stunted your soul must be - to use the time to honor your murdered mother to score political points based on an utter lie.

The Patriot Act: First draft written by Joe Biden AND voted for by Joe Biden.

What Omar said was that not all Muslims were behind 9/11. The attacks she’s getting as a result are people trying to say, “We want to be able to be racist against all Muslims and 9/11 is our excuse.”

And while women are seven times more likely to be sexually assaulted while in the military, due to the much higher numbers of men in the armed forces, a roughly equal number of men as women are assaulted annually.

#MeToo is for everyone. You’re not co-opting it by sharing your story. It’s for you too. I’m sorry you had to go through this.

I had no real desire to see this movie but after reading your review it almost sounds as if this movie will be a modern retelling of Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, except this time Phoenix will essentially be playing the Rupert Pupkin role and in a twist DeNiro will be portraying Jerry Langford this time around.
