Target is bending over for the wingnuts regarding Pride Merchandise.

The fact that this merchandise will still be available online misses the point entirely. And the point is that Target backed down in such a cowardly and shameful manner. I'm more than disappointed. I don't go to Target regularly at all, and I certainly don't EVER have to go there. If they are too fucking worried about a backlash, I hope they get one but from the other side.

Cher in relationshiop with a man 39 years her junior. . . .

I normally don't give 2 flips about what celebrities are doing, but this just illustrates how sexist things are when a WOMAN dates a younger man.

We see Kevin Costner & Harrison Ford with younger women, and there is no peep made. But when it's the other way around, there is a "public backlash."

Ridiculous.

Kanye West--or Ye-- just cannot keep his fucking pie hole shut. . . .

And what exactly is this goddamned moron's claim to fame? Why do his loony statements even make the news? Oh yeah, he's a fucking rapper. . . . That deems him "fit" to make public statements.

I guess on a brighter note, at least he says what he thinks and doesn't leave us any doubts.

I have waited YEARS for these fucking repigs to be held accountable. . . .

And yes, I am including Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr. as well. . . They all skated through every fucking scandal and never had to really answer for any of their goddamned lies. Of course, #45 is the absolute worst, and I'll get the greatest satisfaction in seeing him subpoenaed. Goddamn, I want to see his swollen tick-like body struggling to get out of handcuffs. . . . I'll probably never see that, but I would actually pay a LOT of money to witness it. . .!

Quite frankly, I think life in prison would be worse than the death penalty for this

slimy motherfucker. . .

Prison is no fun at all for sure, and I don't imagine the FL penal system has too many frills.

I'm anti-death penalty 100%, but Sirhan Sirhan can go straight to hell.

All I need to do is think how different things could have been had that fucker not killed Bobby Kennedy. . . .

And what irks me more is that Sirhan Sirhan is supposed to be in prison for life. . . . As far as I can tell, that motherfucker has plenty of life still left in him. . .

I deeply loathe Susan Collins and find her quite repulsive.

I haven't seen hide nor hair of that fool since Kavenaugh & company proved to be exactly what we knew they were. . . .

I'm just wondering how Susan explained it all. She is so disgusting & fucking stupid.

White woman not indicted for Emmett Till's murder. . . .

I am so disappointed about this. . . This woman is DIRECTLY responsible for this young man's torture and execution at the hands of her redneck husband and (I think) brother-in-law?

Germany goes after concentration camp guards, and I don't see why this woman cannot be asked to answer for her lies that killed Emmett Till.

I am more than disgusted.

I didn't even like religious fanatics (particularly the conservative Christian variety)

as a small child. . . . The other kids who came from fundamentalist families yacked about their Sunday school and argued about the temperature in hell. . . I was always mystified by all their reasons for one being consigned to hell.

Of course these small children turned into judgmental teenagers who whined that we needed to have "non-denominational" prayers at school. OF COURSE "non-denominational" ALWAYS means fundie prayers; I learned that lesson very early.

And lastly, these same folks cannot even fathom that there are other people who aren't Christian. . . As a non-practicing, secular Jew, I actually had TWO teachers who tried to tell me that Jews were "Christian." Yeah. . . They did.

I found this interesting--These idiots cannot understand the concept of separation of state. . . God, I fucking hate them.
