Meanwhile, Americans can now be targeted for indefinite detention or assassination without the slightest due process, four American citizens have been killed by drone strikes (with dozens more on Obama's kill list), the overall number of drone strikes have increased, more whistleblowers have been prosecuted than any other president combined, Americans have seen their health insurance either disappear or rise in costs, any ounce of privacy we may have had in the past has been swept away by the NSA, trillions of taxpayer dollars have been secretly funneled to corporations through the Fed, more medical marijuana dispensaries have been cracked down upon (despite Obama promising not to let that happen), our country has sharply declined in press and economic freedom, our credit rating has dropped a few levels....shall I go on?

Sooo...the best thing he has the say about the president is there's a few things he couldn't find the time to screw up?

Yay...?

I'm not sure why "liberals" always frame tax cuts as for "the rich" when everyone received one. Also, as Shane excellently explained, those Bush tax "cuts" weren't really tax cuts:

As for the wealth "inequality" woo-woo, this comment sums it up: "Ok then, split the pie in 350 million pieces, everyone gets a bit but everyone will starve to death." Bazinga!

They want tax cuts for the poor? Awesome.  Then get rid of the inflation tax, the payroll tax and the regulatory burden & minimum wage bollocks that keeps them on the dole and poor in the first place!  Or better yet, just abolish all taxation in the first place.

18 Things People Seem To Not Understand Because They Think "Feminism" Is A Dirty Word

The entire list is Gish Gallop, but this one point is the most inane of them all:

(4) I need feminism because most of TV is bad. Because Jersey Shore went on for four seasons and produced spin off series. Because that is what the human race is being represented as. There is not a show that has characters interacting in any form of "reality" and there should be. SOLUTION: write a show that is actually based on reality.

WTF DOES THAT EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH FEMINISM?!?!?

18 Things People Seem To Not Understand Because They Think "Feminism" Is A Dirty Word

The entire list is Gish Gallop,

And here I go analyzing the Gish Gallop, point by point. This is is going to be long.

1. How the fuck are we suddenly going to stop every possible rape, murder, or kidnapping? Ya think if that was possible, we wouldnta done that... IDK.... 35,000 yrs ago or something? Counter solution, be aware of your surroundings, but don't act like everyone around you is a rapist, murderer, or kidnapper. Those that are see this as weakness and target YOU.

2. a) Sometimes, you are simply being asked to dance because the social situation at the moment dictates that it is expected to ask a partner to dance, it is not necessarily "approval of your physical appearance". b) While a certain amount of looking at you (presuming you're at least averagely attractive, which since you're writing this tripe, I assume you ain't) is just normal human sexuality, the fact that you "fixate on how you look for other people" is YOUR FAULT, not their's.

3. Okay.

4. So don't watch Jersey Shore. I'd skip Big Brother and the Bachelor(ette) while I was at it to. You realize that if you push the power button again, the screen goes grey, right?

5. I don't know a single person that does this, unless they're just not in a position to help.

6. I actually agree with this one, except you don't need feminism for that, you need politicians and those on school boards and PTA's to leave their bullshit... I mean religion at home.

7. I actually agree with that one, too.

8. Well, yes some people do use words which are gender based to insult each other, that doesn't make anyone any less by being called a name. In fact, in some circumstances, it actually makes the person USING the epitaph less.

9. Yes, rapes happen and sometimes the victim is afraid to speak up because they are afraid of being blamed. With the exception of the perp, and possibly the same group of fuckwads from six, the victim blaming is in your head.

10. Again true, but WTF has that got to do with feminism?

11. Not in any jurisdiction I'm aware of. In most, the fact your partner claimed you threatened her is enough for you to be finding somewhere else to stay, at least for the night.

12. Well, no. Normal men and women actually have about the same amount of empathy. I'm presuming we're talking about people that don't have some sort of cognitive/mental/neurological disorder here. Those that do, can't change it because you wish it so.

13. Okay, let's talk about that 6 years you took off...

14. Okay... I don't see how your going to do that but... okay. So I was right in two, btw.

15. Your hard work was taken away from you, how? I was almost going to agree with this one because there are a lot of jobs that people think are soft and easy, but are actually quite physically and mentally challenging (I know because I have one). However, if you are being paid for a product or service, it is impossible to not qualify the work. Either it's good work, average work, or poor work.

16. True up to a point, but once again nothing to do with feminism. Also third thing that has to do with your poor self-perception of your appearance. Counter solution: Please seek professional help as soon as possible.

17. What?

18. All the above?

Dude, it's Kotaku.  What did you expect?  And Doug Walker?  As in the Nostalgia Critic?  As in the idiot who hired a SJW/feminist as his female double?  Again, what did you expect?

Personally  can kind of see where Doug and Kotaku are coming from on this instance but that may be just me. I just don't think Zero Suit Samus works the same way on a "practical" level in heels. Also I like the Nostalgia Chick.

Except she wore heels in Brawl and nobody bitched then. Besides it was already explained that these heels have an explicit purpose. They provide power for her character and act as jet boots.

Not to mention, other game characters have worn heels, including male characters.


This is just another case of social justice dipshits trying to make something out of nothing.

No, you can't--because he doesn't exist!
