Yes that is him.
Wow, you are getting out of dodge, are you leaving the country?
idk if any of yall are following the montana special election but the republican candidate just body slammed a journalist so a sanders-endorsed candidate that was already beating him greatly in the polls now might be literally guaranteed a win…..in a deeply conservative state
Seriously demo matters much more than overall viewers if it is 2nd and 3rd in ratings for the network. It also isn’t owned by ABC which was probably the networks biggest factor in canceling it.
Doesn't the right to the same too? Why should I vote for someone who I fundamentally disagree with on the vast majority of issues just because they are the same ethnicity or sexuality as me? Isn't that what the right often argues?
Where was the left with their “we need a woman in the white house” rhetoric when Sarah Palin was running for vice president?
Where was the overwhelming support for non-white candidates when Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, and Bobby Jindal were running for office?
Why don’t I see more people excited about the possibility of Richard Grenell (an openly gay man) being considered for Trumps cabinet?
Then I remembered: the left doesn’t give a shit about us. They only care about minorities when it helps push their agenda. We are nothing more than a means to an end to them. And the second you start questioning or straying from them and their lies is the second they leave you out in the cold.
Seriously though Hilary has been investigated and interrogated, by people who despise her, multiple times and still not one indictment. Some of these people wanted to be able to destroy her and her career more than anything and nothing substantial came of it.
Part of me wants Trump to appoint his special prosecutor To investigate Hilary and see how much time and money are wasted.
You know all the people who called Clinton a criminal and Trump a saint seem to have conveniently forgotten that Clinton was never convicted of anything, and that the only reason Trump wasn't already on trial for at least a couple different things was so as to not affect the election... also, the electoral college is bullshit.
There is a very simple contradiction behind the idea of calling Hillary a “criminal”. She has not been convicted of a crime in a court of law. She has not even officially been charged with a crime in a court of law. If you are comfortable calling her a criminal, then you are comfortable calling someone a criminal because they seem like one, or you personally think they are one, regardless of what case has been brought forward and what lawyers and courts have to say. You can’t make an exception for Hillary just because you don’t like her: this has to apply in all cases, or you’re being hypocritical. In other words, it’s guilty-until-proven-innocent logic. Which is very strange coming from Trump supporters. If you get to call Hillary a “criminal”, I get to call Trump a “rapist”. We’d both be bullshitting.
And yeah, the electoral college sucks. But don’t worry, I’m so sure that anti-corruption, “populist” Trump is going to fight against that broken, undemocratic system to restore power to the people. I’m sure he will!
I think I was trying to block that out, but yeah so many people are forgetting how he gets to appoint leaders of federal organizations, and other things that will greatly affect the world outside of his policies. Sorry if I am just making things worse.
everyone on tumblr: *collectively forgets every stage of government but president*
I am sorry for your panic attacks, but I’m glad you are worried. Yes there is a lot of overreaction right now, however plenty of people have a lot to be worried about, and acting as if there is nothing to be worried about is really obtuse. ETA. I don't know if this will help but maybe look up Elizabeth Warren's speech to the AFL-CIO from Thursday, it has really relaxed me and given me some hope.

Am I supposed to choose a side? Both are terrible, sharing personal information of someone hoping they get harassed and worse is disgusting and wrong, invalidated racism against asians because it is different than other nonwhites is wrong, and Ben is still a racist douche.
“This is Ben. Ben made racist statements on social media. Ben allowed Trump to gas him up. Ben provided a half-ass apology. Ben believes Trump can save him from an ass whooping. Ben is unaware that he is also a marginalized minority. This is the result. Don’t be like Ben y'all.” - Fellow High School Alumni
SHARE THIS LIKE WILDFIRE. I went to highschool with this trash.
True the electoral college also depresses voter turn out in the the non swing states somewhat, some people don't vote because they know their state will surely vote one way so they don't. Getting rid of it might encourage more voters in non swing states to vote, or at least making it so each candidate gets a number of electoral votes based on their percentage of vote in a state instead of winner take all.
Unpopular opinion: I actually live in a more rural area and I like the electoral college even though I know it's not great. I like having some voice and not having California and New York decide the election every year.
Yeah. I was very negative on it and still don’t really like it, but seeing more and more on how it is kinda necessary for more than like five states to actually have a voice I can see why people support it.
While most fears are overblown losing gay marriage is a possibility. The right to same-sex marriage was granted by Supreme Court ruling and Trump has promised to stack the court with conservative justices. It isn't super likely, but it is possible, and a legitimate fear.
unfollowing anyone who spreads fearmongering and panic, even reblogging shit like that. LGBT people arent going to be whipped in the streets or have gay marriage taken away, blacks and hispanics will be fine too. Stop spreading panic and fatalism you jackasses.
Election Results
I am trying to gather my thoughts about the election. I am not as worried as if say Ted Cruz was just elected president, but I have many concerns. I have said to myself that because of his lack of experience and actual knowledge of working in and with the government Trump will probably just be an ineffectual leader, but he still can cause major damage. I am mostly worried about the Supreme Court because Trump could potentially name justices that overturn Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges. Here’s to a potential blue wave in the midterms.
You wouldn't happen to have a link to a past rant about Reagan? I am fascinated and want prove things have been really bad for this country. As much as I disliked Bush I never was truly fearful of his presidency and was born during Reagan so did't really see it first hand. I guess I should try to find solace in the fact that Trump has so little experience in the political system that he will probably won't be able to accomplish any of the terrible things he wants to. I'm still worried as fuck about the Supreme Court.
I'm worried about what going to happen in the next four years.
Don’t. We’ll be ok. We made it through eight years of Bush, we can do anything

Just wanted to post this link with the headline. Does anyone know if that wifes sons quote was ever the headline or if it was just photoshopped?
You can sort of count the Santa riding a shaver one too. The commercial is updated somewhat frequently with a new shaver/razor, but some form of the commercial has existed since the 60's.
they’ve been playing the same goddamn M&Ms christmas commercial for the past 8 years
To further expand on this Richie Foley, the Static Shock cartoon character, is based on a character named Rick Stone in the original comics. Rick Stone is gay and his sexuality is explored through some story arcs in the original comic series.
The canon LGBT+ character of today is:

He got banned from a social media site, I know your not making s a direct comparison, but it’s still really overreacting.
After years of provocation, Twitter has permanently banned Milo Yiannopoulos from its service.
Yiannopoulos, who currently serves as Breitbart.com’s tech editor, has been hailed as a standout voice of the new “alt-right” movement. As such, he has made a living as a provocateur, continually inflaming tensions between progressive branches of the internet focused on identity politics and the fervently anti-PC segment that constantly trolls it. For years, Yiannopoulous has used Twitter not only to voice his controversial opinions but to direct his legion of followers (388,042 at the time of this writing) toward his opponents. As a result, he’s been temporarily banned from Twitter a number of times for violating terms of service and stripped of his verification.
But this time — according to Twitter — he’s gone too far. This week, Yiannopoulos led a harassment campaign against Ghostbusters actor Leslie Jones, which led to the SNL cast member’s decision to leave Twitter. The tweets, many of which targeted Jones for being black and a woman, were the final straw for Twitter, which is taking steps to try to solve its harassment problem.
According to the company, the permanent suspension isn’t a matter of speech as much as a matter of behavior — specifically, a violation of Twitter’s rules regarding the targeted abuse of specific users.
Here’s the statement, according to a Twitter spokesperson:
We know many people believe we have not done enough to curb this type of behavior on Twitter. We agree. We are continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to better allow us to identify and take faster action on abuse as it’s happening and prevent repeat offenders. We have been in the process of reviewing our hateful conduct policy to prohibit additional types of abusive behavior and allow more types of reporting, with the goal of reducing the burden on the person being targeted. We’ll provide more details on those changes in the coming weeks.
Yiannopoulos was not available for comment at the time of publication.
Are Milo’s comments not considered fetishisizng for some reason?
Truth.
The previous comment does mention institutional discrimination not personal discrimination. This is a hard distinction to make because institutional discrimination happens because many in a institution are discriminatory, and let’s face it how many people who are personally discriminatory want institutions to have that same discrimination.
Also I just want to say that in many US States it is still totally legal to fire/not hire someone because they are LGBT.
I think we really need to reaffirm now that no amount of homophobia can be acceptable in our culture. There is no such this as harmless or victimless homophobia. All homophobia contributes to violence against us. You can not “disagree” with lgbt people’s “lifestyles” without supporting the rhetoric and legislation that puts us in very real danger.
It should at least be considered that the other images weren’t used on huge billboards to advertise Deadpool.
Truth
I just want to point out that The American College of Pediatricians is a small group of social conservatives that formed to oppose The American Academy of Pediatrics around the time the AAP endorsed same-sex adoption rights. The ACP is much smaller and usually less respected than AAP, and often relies on being mistaken for the other group to seem less biased.
Pediatricians Call It What It Is – Child Abuse
The American College of Pediatricians has released an in-depth report stating that the move to indoctrinate children with the idea that they can pick their gender amounts to child abuse.
They are urging legislators and educators to reject all policies that would condition children to accept chemical and surgical distortions allowing people to impersonate the opposite sex.

The second one was used to promote the movie though.
You can’t fully deny an existence of privilege because of what relatives and ancestors have gone though when you don’t have those experiences. Yes it shouldn’t be about apologizing, but how about realizing privileged.
http://time.com/85933/why-ill-never-apologize-for-my-white-male-privilege/
I’m not a white male, but this story really got me- especially the part of “
Perhaps it’s the privilege my grandfather and his brother had to flee their home as teenagers when the Nazis invaded Poland, leaving their mother and five younger siblings behind, running and running until they reached a Displaced Persons camp in Siberia, where they would do years of hard labor in the bitter cold until World War II ended. Maybe it was the privilege my grandfather had of taking on the local Rabbi’s work in that DP camp, telling him that the spiritual leader shouldn’t do hard work, but should save his energy to pass Jewish tradition along to those who might survive. Perhaps it was the privilege my great-grandmother and those five great-aunts and uncles I never knew had of being shot into an open grave outside their hometown. Maybe that’s my privilege.
Or maybe it’s the privilege my grandmother had of spending”
Lol, thanks for pointing that out. It's awesome how great the two of them get along in real life.
lol Connor puts one arm around Joey then keeps the other one stiff at its side instead of putting it around Angelique
