Because the Soviet Union was a communist dictatorship, which the GOP hated (the communist part of it, anyway), and modern Russia is kleptocratic oligarchy, which the GOP loves. Easy enough to tease out, really.
This has been my take forever. Maybe women want to take nudes and send them to a sweetheart or maybe she’s just feeling hot and proud of herself. Good for her. Doesn’t mean they should be available for the world to see, nor should she be victim-blamed.
Same for the sub-hominids who say a woman was asking for it after being raped because she dressed provocatively. Yeah, she might have been dressing in a way to attract someone, that’s the goddamn point. It’s her prerogative, and guess what: she has the final say as to who can interact with her. Fuck outta here with this “she was asking to get raped” bullshit. Grow up and learn some goddamn self control, it’s insulting to insinuate that we, as men, are a monolith and do not have any.
This A+ civics genius over here seems to be forgetting all the millennials that went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and when we (the US government) inevitably set up another meat grinder overseas, then there will be a bunch of “today’s youth” getting killed over there just like she wants. Christ.
Cool. Vote third party. We’ll get Trump (or one of the other authoritarian dominionist clowns in the car), who will end up pushing for a nuclear attack on Gaza while dismantling every institution we have here, meager as they are, but people still need them. Then in 2028, don’t vote at all because you will probably lose your right to do so. At least you voted with your ~heart~<3 though, so have a nice cup of tea and give yourself a hug.
We do not have a system in place where your idealistic protest can do anything other than make things worse. Fix the goddamn system, put people in power on a local level who have a chance, and work up from there. Fuck outta here with any Jill Stein horseshit.
None of that artisan bullshit, read the truck
Is that why he smashed his cruiser into a truck at a trailer park last week, sent the truck flying, and brandished his gun at bystanders? Aw geez, no wonder then, he must’ve been just so stressed out!
He knows that as soon as he retires, he dies. He’ll probably die in office, but not as quickly as he would if he stepped down now.
He can’t die now. He has so many more lives to destroy.
I’ve been stuck on listening to various live versions of Comfortably Numb (e.g., Pulse, Live in Gdańsk, etc) just to find out which has the best solo because it’s lived rent free in my head for a quarter of a century
[shrug] Ehh, just more ways for these idiots to grift one another and fuck each other over even more.
And they accuse the left of dealing in identity politics.
Nah, her behavior lined up with the values she’s always displayed. She’s trash, she acted like trash. Shrug.
That’s a tumblr post though, isn’t it?
Give it a few years, they’ll be picking it up in middle school at least
My daughter has been scoring very high in math this year in fifth grade so they wanted to give her more advanced stuff to do, like moving into basic statistics. She isn’t having any of it though, she hates math and gets terrible anxiety from it. She just wants to sculpt and make puppets instead. Can’t say I blame her, I was the same way.
…yet I’d cherish a job where I’d just spend all day futzing around in R
