for the sexual harassment we women face in the workplace all day long. Same fucking scenario. Not sure why you wouldn't get how very fucked up and totally sexist that is- but it truly is. Not funny at all. Some self examination is in order here, as to why you need to try to use sex to punish professional women. That is fucked.

Bernie Sanders is an old man, a grandfather, a dad, a husband. And you're saying it's OK to post pictures of him posing with some model and saying he's grabbing her ass?

That's fine by you? But posting a picture of Hillary Clinton, not just pleasantly but downright thrilled to be warmly embracing a mass murdering thug, and knowing that her policies enable his actions, your saying that's wrong, because she's "trying to do her job" or something? What's her job, bomb hospitals and refugee camps? Is that her job? Get your priorities straight.

that said Bernie Sanders is an ass grabber, you see I got totally enraged, and this is what it looks like when cheese sandwich gets enraged. Do Bernie Sanders' grandchildren have to go on the internet and see MineralMan threads saying Bernie is an ass grabber? It's a personal attack. There was no call for for it. I think maybe he just wanted to get people mad so they would react. So here's the reaction.

In this picture Hillary looks excited and happy to be meeting Bibi. She thinks he's awesome. And that matches her real life policy. He bombs hospitals. He targets hospitals and refugee centers and murders everyone inside. There's no reason to smile and embrace him. I don't want that done in my name. I don't want our country to embrace that. That wasn't her job. That was a choice.

If you can bomb a hospital you ought to be able to take a joke.

Believing "just doing my job" as and excuse is just sad. It's actually sad you think it's the Secretary of State's job to kiss and hug people who target hospitals and refugee shelters for bombings.

This is the opposite of their job. Their job should be to promote human rights and justice.

"Just doing my job" is the weakest dumbest argument I can think of. Gets you out of pretty much anything. Just following orders. So weak. So lame.

Turning that into a sexual scenario is fine? This is the same thing. It's the same level of immature stupidity. Except this actually has a political point about Hillary's policies toward Israel/Palestine.

I wouldn't. For one thing this is a joke. For another thing, just fucking look at them. She's enjoying that way too much. And another thing, it's the horrible power and policies that underlie this which make this dark comedy. A lot of people are getting hurt and abused in very real ways as a result of a system that includes cozy relationships like this.

Guess what: We make the rules. We're supposed to make the rules. If you're against embracing war criminals then right now is a chance to express it. There's no rules about what US diplomats are "supposed to do" other than whatever we want them to do.
