“I moved on her like a bitch” “Grab ‘em by the pussy” “Sons of bitches” Huh. Who knew “shit” was their trigger word? They’re fine with “shit”- see “shithole countries”. They’re not fine with a black woman saying it, or being anything less than silent and aquiesent. Are people going nuts over this in a bad way? I thought that people were going nuts for it because it was a moment of real-ness that people love her for? I admit I haven't looked at any reactions from the right, and don't plan to.

Haven’t seen any (also haven’t looked) but I’m assuming they are there. If for no other reason than that she’s calling BS on Paul Ryan’s statements that people need to have more kids. Because rather than pretending that’s an easy move for women, she’s being honest.

There's no malicious intent to 3rd graders singing "Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg." Are they seriously claiming that 11th graders singing "Let's kill all the blacks" is pretty much the same as that? I guess I'm just an overly sensitive liberal who can't take a joke...

I guarantee you if roles were reversed those kids would have been expelled by lunch.

Amy Klobuchar was in IA last weekend. Hasn't said when she'll decide about running. She could be the female answer to all the reasons people want Sherrod Brown to run. Here for it.

The Prime Minister
Hey @trevornoah - thanks for everything you’re doing to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s legacy at the @glblctzn festival. Sorry I can’t be with you - but how about Canada pledges $50M to @educannotwait to support education for women & girls around the world? Work for you? Let’s do it.

Since I only watch/see pretty left leaning I'm not sure what the right is saying (except in comments which are doing what they do) but the fact that its a leading story more than a day after she said it. Is so strange to me.
I mean I love her for it but its not 18 times a day newsworthy imo.

I’d like to know more about the organization they’re working with to address this, and what their reputation is. Of course instead of googling that I’m stuffing my face with leftover mashed potatoes. I’ll try to look it up later though.

Looks like we're finding the government through a 2 week CR.
Now would be a good time for the Special Counsel to play another card.

I mean, I know why it’s happening, but how embarrassing that we have a sitting president that will not be part of the eulogy for a former president. My gosh.

I think its actually a much more pared down service than previous pres. Also trivia time the last time we lost a former president was in 2006, when Gerald Ford passed

In order to fill as much air as possible with 41s passing, CNN is reporting on the SOCKS he will be wearing on the flight to DC. (they have fighter jets on them) Eh. Odd or patterned socks were a thing for Bush 41. I guess I can see it being "newsworthy" in that it made him relateable for a lot of people and they would want to know.

Well shockers of all shockers, Federal Employees are being given Wednesday off. I used to work for a company that closed when the stock markets did and they always closed for President's funeral.

I saw that the mayor wanted to fire the guilty parties but was told an investigation had to take place first.

Because I find state funerals entrancing, fascinating, mesmerizing, whatever, I'm still watching coverage.
W is having a hard time holding back tears. Laura was gripping his arm earlier, like in a way that she was trying to keep him from not falling.
