@DonaldJTrumpJr “Hmm…. What else can we scare people with…?
“How about clowns! Clowns are scary! Ah, but no…every calls my dad a clown. Don’t want that association…
“Ooh! Have I lied about Life Expectancy recently? I don’t think I have—awesome! That’s the new Fear Factor to tweet!”
@ejrosetta@Jennings18Karl Your suggestion Rowling’s transphobia can’t be explained without “platform” is a lame attempt to pretend it’s all doublespeak.
It’s not. It’s simple and direct.
Rowling says trans women don’t deserve rights because they aren’t “real” women and they’re dangerous. She’s wrong.
@ejrosetta@Jennings18Karl She then added to the demonization of trans women — already an incredibly at risk population — by making a cross-dresser the killer in her fourth Comeran Strike novel, Troubled Blood.
@ejrosetta@Jennings18Karl To answer your question: JK Rowling is transphobic — no quotes required; it’s a real term being applied in it’s standard context — because she’s taken a stance against rights for trans women. She even wrote an extensive diatribe about it called TERF Wars.
@ejrosetta@Jennings18Karl “Hounded” wasn’t my word, so your premise that I’m admitting is false.
Then you asked me a question, dictated my answer yourself, and drew false conclusions from that flawed answer.
Only simps like Karl fall for dishonest “logic” like that.
@Jennings18Karl@ejrosetta That’s nice, but she’s wrong.
Rowling isn’t being hounded because she’s a success. She’s hounded because a key message of HP was “Everyone belongs, not just those that are ‘approved’ of.”
But then she tweeted “Everyone belongs, except those *I* don’t approve of.” #hypocrisy
@ejrosetta I mean—she tweeted another one yesterday, so maybe in 12 weeks, you just didn’t look very hard.
Maybe you are just biased, not very good at your both, or both.
FFS, does @spreadshirt even know what “expedited” means?!?
It means you are already 2 months late and not honoring the original price, so print it and ship it already!
Don’t delay even getting started to ask one stupid “are you sure?” question about one item! I’m sure!
@4ArTess12@Jim_Jordan Not bad…
I am in favor of humane treatment of immigrants—legal or not—but I’m also in favor of measures that reduce illegal immigration by encouraging them to take the legal route.
Free vaccination won’t do that by itself, but could it move the needle (ouch. Bad pun) a little?
@LB_Part_XI @kfitzzy @m1keinparma @DonRoden1@Jim_Jordan Do you think no one noticed that you attacked her for her first name because you had nothing based on reason or common sense to go on?
#adHominemMuch?
@kfitzzy @m1keinparma @DonRoden1@Jim_Jordan The dude wants to secure “the border”…
…he can’t secure the heart of US democracy. The very building he works in.
@Mike_est_7_7_14 @Jim_Jordan Who cares?
What is he doing for the American citizens in his state?!?
Nothing. #Ohio sent a guy who wastes the seat he sits in.
@Jim_Jordan Sooooo…
You think unvaccinated immigrants is a problem, but unvaccinated Americans is A-OK.
You must see why you sound ridiculous and false.
If you were guided by truth and doing what’s right, you wouldn’t run into these glaring inconsistencies.
Come on, #Ohio - do better.
