    Are you making fun of Guilfoyle? Or are you confusing them? Either way, it’s funny.

    THIS, RIGHT HERE.

    I will go to my grave saying that if the Dems had run ANYONE other than her, Trump would never have happened.

    They were too stupid/ cocky/ misinformed to realize just how hated Hillary is outside of Liberal enclaves.

    They're doing it again with Beto O'Rourke here in Texas this year.

    Why not both? They’re honestly hard to tell apart. And that speech of hers at the convention… holy motherfucking shit…..

    Guilfoyle is such a scumbag. It makes perfect sense that she would wind up married to a Trump.

    He. Is. Patrick. Bateman.

    It’s sad he’s become the most politically savvy democrat on the national stage. Show’s their depth chart.

    It’s sucks being a dem sometimes because they’re all boring but generally fall into having the opinions that make sense to the people they need support from. None are perfect but whatever.

    On the other hand, politics is a popularity contest and on the gop side, the person who is the biggest, loudest, craziest asshole gets all the attention. That’s the media’s fault. Look what happened to Liz Cheney. She’s about as conservative as it gets, but lost her seat anyhow.

    There aren’t democrats who behave that way, and if they did, it just wouldn’t work for them. No one will ever have the charisma of Obama and that was also one of the things the gop hated most about him. I can see Ossoff maybe down the road gaining popularity. But the Dems can only rely for so long on “at least we aren’t crazy like them”.

    But you don’t understand- IT WAS HER TURN!!

    And of course there was the “we elected a black man, now let’s do a woman” box checking.

    Trump's lawyer insisted on a $3 million retainer up front, and now less than a month later he's been fired. Dude finessed a prorated $36 million salary and didn't even have to take the case past preliminary motions.

    Biden needs better handlers. Why is he having to use a handheld mic when there are two on the podium? And, he appeared to be reading names off a teleprompter before looking for Representative Jackie Walorski, who died back in August. If her name was still in the teleprompter list, the staffer should be fired for not taking it out.

    I'm choosing to go with the interpretation that Dark Brandon is just rubbing in the fact that he had her whacked.

    This clip sits at the intersection of a couple things. I know that when people use the phrase "toxic masculinity" we tend to roll our eyes, but then you see a clip like that and realize that people really do attach their sense of self-worth and sense of masculinity to a fucking engine, and it is deeply weird and unhealthy. There's a lot of opposition to a lot of objectively good ideas and plans for improvement because of our utterly irrational ideas about gender and how various things relate to gender. The fact that our urban planning is meaningfully impacted by the idea that "Pete Buttigeig wants to fag up your car" is insane on a level that's hard to come to grips with.

    Much like All Lives Matter, it works off the wilfully obtuse interpretation of a simple concept. It's referring to a specific, toxic form of masculinity, not masculinity as a whole. We all know this already, some of us pretend not to, keep the fight going.

    Meh, you read enough left wing news and blogs theyve included every aspect of masculinity into the definition. It's like racism. It doesnt mean anything anymore. Did it at one point have a concise meaning? Yes. Is MTG using a 7th grade reading level word to describe electric cars "toxic masculinity?" MMMMEEEEHHHHHH

    That was far from the worst thing she said that night. And give the loudmouthed wench-cunt a break, her husband is divorcing her.

    I mean yeah, she was engaging in pre-genocide projection rhetoric, but at least the car thing is something new to discuss.

    Like with everything toxic, the dose is the key. I will agree though that there is a lot of misinterpretation of masculinity, and a lot of the talk comes from people who don't know or socialize with a lot of men.

    Babylon Bee writers wish they were funny enough to write jokes for “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”. They simply don’t know how to be funny. Probably staffed by the type of people who never genuinely laugh.
