Hard to believe it, but when Obama was president, it was considered rude and unfair to suggest birthers were just trying to say Black people aren’t legitimate citizens.

Just stop and remember you're defending a Trump pardon!

I know that reflexive defensiveness only makes people even more sure that "both sides" are the same.

Harvard had Larry Summers as a president. So yeah, it means shit.

"Operation “Protect Pete” seems like a fitting description of this guy’s entire career of evading accountability.

"Perhaps he should make that his next tattoo, so he can brag about how much the needle hurt while ducking any consequences that might truly sting."

"Hegseth’s brief tenure at the Pentagon has been dominated by his quivering inability to deal with any kind of challenge or discomfort.

"Even by MAGA standards, Hegseth is the most delicate of snowflakes."

For sure. Give ‘er a read! I cover that and go deeper. It’s a fun read: not long, lots of tasty insults of this shithead.

And yes, just because he’s weak and pathetic doesn’t mean he’s not dangerous. So feel free to read and repost.

This is about the psychology that leads to this sociopathic behavior (and subsequent drowning of insecurities in alcohol).

This is why the rape allegations mattered. Rapists are pathetic men who can only feel strong by picking on people who can’t fight back.

Why read past headlines: Fuck this dude. Enjoy my luxurious stint of insulting this tiny little man.

But there’s a larger story here, about how weak men feel strong by punching down. But it only proves their weakness.

The boat bombings also expose the lie that this sociopathic ideal of manhood is somehow more "rational" than empathy. On the contrary, Pete Hegseth is giving strong Colonel Kurtz madman vibes.

One more thought: I'm not surprised Allie Beth Stuckey is feeling defensive. The idea that empathy is "toxic" or "sinful" does lead straight to taking glee out of shooting helpless civilians out of the water. Seeing anti-empathy in action makes it hard defend.

Oh yeah, the comment section is a real display of how people don't read, don't check sources, just believe whatever ragebait is put in front of them without question.

No need to apologize! I guess I'm trying to communicate that I don't take this seriously. My feelings aren't hurt, because these people aren't serious enough to take their opinion seriously. This is just grifting nonsense, for sure.

For real. In her response video, she takes offense at me saying she denies the reality of dinosaurs and then....immediately denies the reality of dinosaurs.

I didn't say I was surprised! I assume my amusement is well-communicated in my prose stylings. Surely a post is short enough to be read!

It also speaks to how desperate Christian nationalists are for a "Christian persecution" narrative that they're saying that I'm persecuting a Christian for quoting her and describing an ideology she put a lot of work into promoting!
