    Whatever, substance: The bill he's referencing that was "deemed DOA in the Senate" is the same bill the Senate passed unanimously last month. So, sure, I called a US Congressman a fucking idiot because I'm angry and I hate him. But to be fair, also because he's a fucking idiot.

    You know what’s pernicious? Male violence. That’s what. Not all guns kill people either, but they cause a lot more deaths than any other weapon. We call it gun violence because that’s what it is. When men no longer perpetrate 88% of homicides and 96% of DV, we can talk semantics.

    Reporter: Is there any situation in which you would accept even a dollar of wall funding for this president in order to reopen the government? Speaker Pelosi: A dollar.

    If I tell you hundreds of thousands of US women are harassed, raped, beaten, and/or killed every year and you tell me you know that but you don’t like the words I’m using to tell you about it, I’m going to assume you care more about words than about women. It’s not complex.

    This entire thing is just utterly incoherent. A series of synapses firing with little nuggets of both real and invented knowledge with absolutely no framework or structure.

    So is Trump not knowing someone a qualification for that person to get a job working for him, or not? I can’t keep up anymore.

    Imagine being embarrassed for looking hot and dancing on a roof. Humiliated by your clear skin and healthy, shiny hair. Mortified by your own innate sense of rhythm.

    Imagine your kid runs for office and the embarrassing teen video that surfaces is the kid dancing with their nerdiest friends in a school pride video. What a blessing on your house.

    I do a great job occupying myself at 3am by picturing parties where someone says conspiratorially, “you know who everyone pretends to like but is actually the fucking worst? NICOLE CLIFFE” and everyone is like yes, of course.

    Patriarchy means no matter what the topic, you’ll re-center yourself and other men in your characterization of meaning. Misogyny means you’ll whine incessantly about it.

    Personally, I think the "must have been a Governor or Senator" thing is overrated and I think his 2018 performance was indeed impressive and I've got no problem with Beto being treated as a serious candidate. I'm not sure why Stacey Abrams isn't in the same bucket, though.
