It would have been so easy to just take the feedback, or ignore it, or even to explain why he disagreed. If he’s actually an ally to the level he describes, he should know how that publication has contributed to anti-trans sentiment. It’s a valid critique.

Something telling: Blanche said the DOJ is working so the "Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state"—making clear they never saw Dobbs as giving abortion 'back to the states', but a tool to ban abortion nationwide

The Bad Takes Goblin feeds on your attention. It can only survive as long as it keeps getting fed. Please stop feeding him.

Ok so MacArthur and LeMay were murderous fuckwads, Patton was dangerously full of himself, Mackelvie was yellow as the sun, Montgomery hated the whole plan feels like Marshall and Eisenhower held the whole thing together with duct tape and hope

@darthbluesky.bsky.social the shelter where I volunteer is raising money to build new cat condos, so their temporary residents have the best experience as they await new their homes.

BECAUSE he, like so many other Republicans and a stunning number of people on the left of all persuasions, think it’s this dude’s right. What happens at home stays at home! Now we are going to see a bunch of Republicans fumbling for “how to excuse child abuse without making it sound unreasonable.”

If you have any history of abuse, do not watch the video of that representative being interviewed. I shouldn’t have and I am still amped up hours later. Those of you lucky enough not to speak abuser should, though. The guy is textbook.

Of course it’s Maricopa lmao

An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. (Published May)

Maybe the fundamental problem with American politics is that it’s a bird I don’t want to ride on a bird’s wing, that’s no way to run things The bird needs both wings to live Can’t we try something with more limbs? “oh, they’re a Third Tentacler, what a bunch of weirdos”

If I did, my working hypothesis is that it’s fundamentally driven by puritan homophobia *Can’t touch butt *Touching buttholes = gay! *What if it feels good? The second piece is, due to plumbing, the consequences of little boys’ poor ass hygiene are less severe, so girls are taught how to do it

Surely someone has studied our modern epidemic of conservative men with unwashed asses.

I want to quotedunk this dipshit antivax account that’s been Just Asking Questions all fucking day, but I didn’t bc they got enough exposure with their weird little weaponized deliberate misreading of statistics this whole movement needs to crawl back into the hole it came from

He looks shaken because Oberfeldwebel Miller’s people gave him a talking-to He looks drunk bc he is and he definitely knows what hearsay means. just doing lie on the fly to save his own ass with a BAC of 2 funny part is he thought he was gonna get to do this to Moreno, not the other way around

A lot going on here. First, Miller looks shaken. Or drunk. Second, he comes off every bit the creep that he seems to be. Saying he isn't dropping out because Trump didn't drop out after being accused of sexual assault is a hell of a choice. And third, he doesn't appear to know what hearsay means.

I love having abusers and rapists and their apologists in the news all the time, it’s fantastic for my mental health No I’m not jumping out of my skin at every unexpected noise or movement, why

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

In a conference call hosted by the White House Faith Office on July 30 with thousands of religious leaders around the country, Blanche said he was committed to achieving policy solutions so that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision “becomes permanent in every single state.”

He’s been threatening to reveal Moreno’s Grindr account ever since the story broke containment and likely before. Guy 1: huge assshole, is closeted Guy 2: violent criminal, may escape consequences if he reveals Guy A’s secret This story is sordid; everything it says about us as a polis is ugly

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

I didn’t make myself clear before, but: This is how dangerous, violent men talk. There is no accountability, no remorse, and absolutely zero introspection. He knows society sees what he did as wrong, but that’s society’s fault, not his Every woman and girl in this man’s orbit should fucking RUN

TAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

Shaman Named Dwayne

They’re both inveterate liars and unapologetic scumfucks. Moreno was the one who threw the “who the fuck do you think you are” at the sham Fauci hearing last week. This is just more cynical, nihilistic, self-serving horseshit I hope Emily and Stephanie have good TPOs and even better attorneys
