How do you shove a story down someone's throat anyway?
If it contains some aspect with which one disagrees fervently enough, I think you just tell it to them. It's an odd turn of phrase, but that it's frequently used in response to homosexuality is comical. It also seems kind of...snowflaky.How do you shove a story down someone's throat anyway?
Not even tell it to them. It just has to exist. For context, Lethality Jane above was responding to this retweet from Ted Cruz complaining about a "woke" ad from a gay Army Corporal with two moms and how the Russian army ad made it look "emasculated".If it contains some aspect with which one disagrees fervently enough, I think you just tell it to them.

Yeah, that's fair. Some people go looking for reasons to be offended.Not even tell it to them. It just has to exist.
Given Ted's well documented refusal to defend his wife against Trump's insults and flight to Cancun while the state he governed was shivering from lack of heating, it's little surprise that #EmasculaTed started trending soon after.
Of course!Meanwhile, throat-shove lady has deleted her tweet and run away.
What did he say?Garry Kasparov responding to Ted's remark...unfavorably...is my new favorite thing. It won't change a ****ing thing, of course, but I've kind of come to terms with that. It's malicious ignorance, but worse because he likely knows the difference and is seizing on people not knowing the difference for political capital.
"Vladimir Putin is a communist the way Ted Cruz is a conservative. Now they're both just opportunists."What did he say?
Leaning in a bit here, going with the "bad takes" angle even if it doesn't reside beneath the social media umbrella. Don't hesitate to do the same if you think it's appropriate.
We should probably come to terms with the notion that he may never be unseated.While I normally abhor making fun of someone for their disabilities, I'm not sure this "congressman" has either the mental NOR physical capacity to be useful in politics.
Sure, but they were also "coastal elites." Many were lawyers, medical doctors and businessmen. Several were publishers. Most were university graduates. They tended to be quite wealthy in their time.The Founding Fathers were not infallible, they are not the end-all visionaries of the future. They also used even stronger quarantine methods back then during times health crisis.
Quit yer bitchin', Ted. Four dollars can buy much sauce. I have one in my fridge right now.
Logic is lost on candy-ass culture war grievances. It's completely irrational (with no implied correlation between irrational behavior and skin color); it's a nothingchickensandwich.Quit yer bitchin', Ted. Four dollars can buy much sauce. I have one in my fridge right now.

Well...as straight as Ted's crooked face can muster, anyhow.This is where America is apparently. A senator can claim that limiting sauce packets briefly at one fast food chain is "destroying America" with a straight face.
Seems like they're running low on material.
Biden isn't living up to the threat that they campaigned against and they're desperate, grasping for something...anything...that'll whip their base into the sort of frenzy that'll lead to another attack like the one that interrupted the electoral vote count in Congress.Seems like they're running low on material.
Hmmm... CSM or election thread... CSM or election thread... or maybe this belongs in Aliens. lol

Does he mean Khomeini or Khameini? The former ayatollah has been strangely silent on Twitter recently since dying in 1989.
