He goes in front of an audience of female scientists and journalists, lets loose a string of misogynist jokes, then does a non-apology wherein he claims he was being “light hearted” and the women took it wrong and anyway women in science are too emotional and he meant everything he said in his “jokes.” *side eye*

* Re: Marco Rubio. A household budget and a federal budget are two different things and I am deeply uncomfortable with the class based attack on him on those grounds. It is flat out not okay to judge him negatively for not being one of the 1% and making the sort of personal financial decisions that come with having to work for your money and not inherit it. At the same time, I do think that complaints along the lines of him using the party credit card for personal expenses are legitimate as those charges are a matter of ethics not class.

Seriously, some of these Sons of the Harpies aren’t even wearing shirts, there’s no way they could have hidden them."

* The adult white woman who yelled racial epithets and attacked some of the children at the pool party in McKinney has been put on leave by her employer. Mr. Toon, who is one of the people FOX is using as proof that no one said any racial slurs was one of the people saying nasty racist things and was with the racist white lady just mentioned, according to other witnesses.

* A judge has declared there is probable cause for a murder charge in the police drive by shooting of the child, Tamir Rice. Unfortunately, Prosecutors are not required to abide by the ruling, so the murderers continue to run free. There are still no official plans to arrest the dangerous police thugs.

Just remember, two grown men murdered the child in cold blood for playing alone in a park, assaulted his sister, allowed him to bleed to death in the snow, then lied extensively to police about the circumstances of the shooting. The murder was caught on tape and proves that they were lying, and yet they still walk free as police are allowed to murder young children whenever they like as long as they have dark skin in this country with no consequences.
