The summer between high school and college, I worked at a girls camp as a counselor.
One day we were on a field trip somewhere and riding in a school bus. Those are, if you remember, kind of high up so you have a different perspective than if you are in a car.
Suddenly there was a commotion on the left side of the bus and the girls all started rushing over and whispering among themselves.
Myself and some other counselors came to see what was going on.
We then saw what it was they were looking at.
A man in a convertible was driving alongside the bus and jerking off.
Now, I don’t know if he was purposefully doing it in full view of a bunch of young girls or if he was just that blissfully unaware of his surroundings, but that hardly matters I think.
Some of the girls knew what was going on and some were younger and turned to us to ask what he was doing.
You can imagine what it was like for us to try to answer that question 🤦🏻♀️
The moral of the story is that most men jerk off.
But only some men jerk off where others might see them.
In conclusion, white male privilege is a helluva drug and white men in the media elite are hardcore users of a specific flavor of it.
Anyone who tells you that we should excuse Toobin’s behavior is gaslighting and can go fuck themselves. In private, of course.

What I mean is, in order to be cruel, you have to have at least some understanding of your target’s wants, needs, and desires. You have to understand at least a little bit how they think.
That’s what’s required if cruelty is indeed the point, and not just a byproduct.

In a sense, there can be no intentional cruelty without at least a modicum of empathy.
Trump has no empathy. None. Zero. He has demonstrated that time and time again.
He views everything as transactional, meaning: what’s in it for me?
So, that’s two debates so far without any mention of family separation or immigration issues in general, am I correct?
Why the fuck is this happening?
Dear @TheDemocrats: Immigration is an ELECTION YEAR ISSUE.
It should be an election year issue each and every time so long as we have cruel and punitive policies which rip apart families and perpetuate abuse, murder, and torture.
You know why I didn’t have to tweet the GOP about this?
Because immigration has been their issue for a while now.
The Orange Moron won an entire election just by scaring white Americans with the specter of Black and brown people coming for them.
Friends, I just talked to my Dad about his voting plan.
First of all, bless his heart, he refuses to vote by mail 😡 But let’s put that aside for a moment.
He told me he’s pretty sure he’s voting for Biden.
PRETTY SURE
By the end of the conversation, he told me he’s 99.9% for Biden, but not before I had several heart attacks along the way.
Heart attack #1: He said he wanted to see the rest of the debates first.
Heart attack #2: He said Trump has done some good things.
I asked for an example and he said he liked that Trump is demanding that the Europeans put more money into NATO instead of the US shouldering everything.
Immigration advocates were repeatedly screaming about this and no one gave a fuck.
I know of one case for example where a man was same-day deported from Otay Mesa, which had the largest COVID19 outbreak at the time. No test. No quarantine period.
When the borders closed and Americans were trapped abroad btw, @StateDept was supposed to help get people home and I know of one case where an American in a high risk age group was almost put on a plane back to the US with other citizens. A plane which had been used to deport ppl
