Did you guys do your homework yesterday? You made it through to Thursday, so I’ll make it an easy day today.
‘Make it stop’: George Floyd’s brother calls on Congress to act over police violence. “
Is that what a Black man’s life is worth? Twenty dollars?” Philonise Floyd said. “This is 2020. Enough is enough.”

What’s a matter bunkerbitchbaby? Poor titty blubber boy upset that CNN is telling the truth about his suckass re-election bid?
Why the sad face? Is it because the margin is too big even for Russia to pump the numbers in his favor?
Whiny ass motherfucker.
…there’s a thing the ladies on the Mueller She Wrote podcast tend to say (well, I suppose it’s the Daily Beans now they’ve retired the MSW jerseys) which I fear gets to the crux of the thing
“Vote. In numbers too big to manipulate.”
CNN was like, ya, nope. Sit your ass down.
The most ironic thing(take notes Alanis Morrisette)yet is the cop I saw on the news blubbering about being painted with the same brush as ‘bad apple’ cops. What, profiling is wrong?! DO FUCKING TELL.
Blursday for real, I use up my vaca taking Fridays off in the summer to imbibing starts tonight!
“I use up my vaca taking Fridays off in the summer…”
This is genius. Teach us your ways wise one!!
I am drinking now peeps, my mexican negroni concoction and i doubled all the ingredients and may not last long, so let me say, drinken slut loves oiu alll.
Just read a piece reporting that Chauvin used to work with Floyd. Surprise, surprise, they didn’t get along because Chauvin used to treat black people like shit in the job. So, yeah, beyond Chauvin’s racism, this was also his personal opportunity to stick it to Floyd.
Couldn’t see this coming…
We had a graduate parade last night, kids were supposed to be 6ft apart and parents would drive by, honk, etc. I knew this would not go well. They put X’s for about 1/2 mile on sidewalk, all kids ended up in about 200 yards clumped together! No social distancing and lots of hugging. I said to may daughter, I knew this was a bad idea and she said, “they have been doing this all along.” Sigh, I thought because my kids were being good most of the others were too, not so much.
This is a great point for the next argument that tries to use the “defund the police” argument against you…

One thing the BLM protests have certainly done is bring the worms out of the ground.

But the insults that get thrown because they’re feminine things? Those ones (and also ableist ones!) are beneath you, my friend💗
They get lobbed at women much too often, and throwing them at Trumpty-dumpty,and implying he’s weak (which we ALL know he is!!!) by calling him feminine as an insult, even though I’m SURE that’s not what you meant, deflects and doesn’t target Trump’s terribleness at all.
Also, Tits are Great!😉
Cunts, too!😉😁
Here are some great words, that are a MUCH better fit…
And HONESTLY? They’re also a *better fit,* because ‘ol #DonnyDumbass wouldn’t understand them

I’ll let Sam Bee take it from here…
“is that offensive to women? I don’t think you have to be a woman to be a bitch and know some women who embrace it?”
There are DEFINITELY better words that could be used😉💖
Bitch is a tricky one, ‘cuz yeah, like you said, plenty of us embrace it, and it’s used for folks across the board.
Like “Idiot,” it just kinda rolls off one’s tongue nice & cleanly…
Personally though, because it’s SO often used in a misogynistic way, I don’t typically use it as an insult anymore–i’ll only use it as a compliment, or a neutral term.
But most times in our society, Bitch is used to imply that either someone is tough but “too bossy,” (or as a stand in,for the racist term “uppity.” Or it’s used to imply someone isn’t tough, strong,or manly “enough.”
There’s just a WHOLE lot of crap that comes along with it–especially when there are sooooo many words one could use, which both 1. Aren’t sexist/ misogynistic, and 2. Honestly DO better define/drill down on what’s being talked about😉
Similar to the way that, after I started my SPED degree, and learned the history of special ed & institutionalization, Idiot is an insult i try REALLY hard not to use anymore (it’s ableist–Idiot, like Imbecile, Moron, and the R-word was formerly one of the categories of disability for folks with developmental disabilities, who fell under a certain IQ score. It was a TERRIBLE system, and it, and those words aren’t acceptable in Special Education anymore.💗)
