Deep in a Politico report about President Trump’s attempt to build support for firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, whom Trump loathes for recusing himself from the investigation of a campaign he was part of, is a striking artifact of Trumpism. The president’s swelling complaints against Sessions include the fact that he “doesn’t have the Ivy League pedigree the president prefers” and that Trump “can’t stand his Southern accent.”
[Right-wingers] have spent decades depicting liberals as coastal snobs. Entire campaigns were built from this theme, from Michael Dukakis’s “Harvard Yard boutique” to various Democrats failing to display the requisite enthusiasm for Nascar. Every image of Barack Obama in the right-wing media cast him gazing downward imperiously, a pose that [right-wingers] seemed to think captured his contempt for the good people of the heartland…
But as is so often the case, the accusation that was made falsely against Democrats turns out to be true of Trump. For all his vaunted populism, he is filled with contempt for average people in general and his own supporters in particular.
I honestly dont see anything wrong with these comics. Why is everyone being an asshole
Because she’s literally fetishizing gay people, lying about being gay, wearing us like a costume, and being an all around homophobic piece of fucking shit.
“Asexuals” aren’t gay, they aren’t oppressed in any way shape or form, and they aren’t entitled to actual LGB culture, community, activism, or support…something OP so clearly doesn’t give a shit about. You and OP are the assholes here, not the gay people fed up with being fucking fetishized by straight people who somehow manage to simultaneously oppress us while also wanting to be us. Not that hard to understand.
We’re sick of straight girls like OP who watch too much gay porno and think that somehow makes them “gay men” (or, in her case, an “asexual gay man”? Or whatever bullshit she’s trying to spew here in her race to the gold in the Oppression Olympics: Internalized Misogyny Edition.) Same goes for the straight men who watch too much “lesbian” porn and think putting on frilly dresses and bad wigs suddenly makes them “~*lesbian women*~”. It’s all so disgustingly homophobic that anybody who doesn’t see an issue with it is just as bad. So, again, you’re the asshole here.
The worst thing about living in Australia is not all the scary animals. It’s logging onto tumblr and seeing the rest of the world hyping up the opposite season. We’ll be freezing our butts off (in our above freezing temperatures) and you’ll all be posting beach pics and slushies then once the weather starts to heat up, it’s all oversized sweaters and hot chocolate. Do you know how confusing it is to be sweating profusely while also wishing you’re sitting infront of an open fireplace with a marshmallow filled cup of boiling liquid??
how much longer until we start getting lectured about how small dick jokes are actually misogyny on par with with making fun of flappy labia/loose pussy
Itd be nice if you stopped giving them ideas.
Already happening. You should’ve seen reddit when the East Area Rapist was finally caught after 40 years. His rape survivors (grown ass women who survived one of the most notorious serial rapists/murderers in California history) posted a picture of themselves mocking their own rapist’s tiny dick in celebration, and I swear to god reddit had a goddamn mental breakdown, telling these women they’re immature bodyshamers who need to grow up, that if they were men we’d all be hating on them, “wHaT iF iT wAs A fAt WoMaN wE wErE mAkInG fUn Of?¿?!!!!”, along with comments about a million times worse than that which I don’t even wanna say. The sub ended up throwing such a hissy fit that they essentially collectively condemned anybody who even slightly mentioned the fact that this literal fucking murderer’s dick was small, and even attacked anybody for suggesting that his “emasculating” small dick might’ve had a lil something to do with the fact that he became a rapist in the first place.
Those are the pics I’m talking about btw.
They’re mocking a man who raped them in the most painful, brutal way. They’re mocking a man who would call them, years after raping them, just to remind them he still knows where they are, and that he was still out there. They’re mocking a man who was just finally caught after 40 fucking years.
And this man, btw, was someone very few people, myself included, actually had faith would ever be caught- let alone found alive. I literally fucking sobbed the day he was arrested- finally revealed as Joseph James DeAngelo, no longer the East Area Rapist, Visalia Ransacker, Golden State Killer, or any of the other monikers he acquired throughout the decades. This case is the reason I even became invested in true crime in the first place, about 11 years ago, and I would literally get fucking nightmares about this faceless man slipping into my home. I’m just some loser armchair “~*detective*~” on the internet, could you imagine the sheer amount of relief and joy the survivors feel??
These women have every right to mock every last inch of that man’s body. But god forbid men get their feelings hurt, right? Reminds me of how we can’t categorize trans“women” rapists as “male violence” because it hurts their feelings.
After his release from prison, Wright obtained his undergraduate degree in 2002, entering law school in 2004 and graduating from St. Thomas University School of Law in 2007. Passing the New Jersey Bar in 2008, he spent the next nine years being investigated by the New Jersey Bar’s Committee on Character before being granted admission to the bar by the New Jersey Supreme Court on September 27, 2017.
On September 27, 2017, Wright became the only person in U.S. history to be condemned to life in prison, secure his own release and exoneration and then be granted a license to practice law by the very court that condemned him.
Wright got his 1991 conviction overturned by exposing the gross corruption and misconduct within the court that convicted him, the prosecutors office and the police force. This allowed Wright to successfully get rid of his life sentence but he remained in prison on numerous other convictions with sentences totaling over 70 years. Wright’s ultimate release came as a result of his cross-examination of veteran police detective, James Dugan. Dugan’s confession opened revelations of wide and systematic misconduct and cover-up in Wright’s case. Then Somerset County Prosecutor, Nicholas L. Bissell, Jr., who tried Wright’s case personally was fingered as being the orchestrator of that misconduct, directing police officers to falsify their police reports while he personally dictated the false testimony of witnesses against Wright and made secret deals with defense attorneys to have their clients lie to the jury that Wright was their drug boss and that they had plead guilty and were going to prison, when in-fact, they were never going to spend a day in jail.
Dugan pled guilty to official misconduct in order to escape prison. Wright’s trial judge, Michael Imbriani, was removed from the bench and sent to prison on theft charges and Bissell, after learning of Dugan’s confession on TV news, took flight with federal authorities in pursuit. As police were kicking in the door of his Las Vegas hotel room, Bissell put a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, committing suicide. Wright’s remaining convictions were vacated and he was immediately released from prison. The charges were dropped and the case against him dismissed.
Wright now works at the Law Firm Hunt, Hamlin & Ridley located in Newark, New Jersey, and is to have said “I went to law school for one reason and one reason only, To slay giants for a price. And if the giant is big enough and the cause is important enough, I’ll do it for free, especially when it involves helping those who cannot help themselves.”
ultimate power move: law your way out of jail and convict the people who wrongly convicted you
Why is there not a movie about this fricking amazing man yet?
