Yeah, you don’t weather this one. Good riddance.

5667

Resigned as president, but still seated on the council?

5668

Yeah, everybody in that call needs to go. While the media is focusing on the racism, this was all said in a closed door redistricting meeting where a group of councilmen were colluding to eliminate non-allied councilmen. Nothing changes if they all stay in power.

5669

Yes. Someone on Twitter mentioned it’s like resigning as Speaker of the House, but staying a member of Congress.

Not really fixing the problem.

“I yield the rest of my time, but fuck this,” is a quote for the ages.

Careful, any more treatment of her like this and she’s liable to become a Nazi!

5674

If you remove the first half of her first sentence it is a decent apology. That half-sentence makes it all about her, though.

5675

Aaaaand she resigns.

5676

She was trying to keep that fat $292k annual paycheck, but that recording doomed her.

5677

Took way too many steps for her to finally do the right thing. Good riddance to this one!

Misogynist John Crace continues to write misogynistic sketches. Strangely, feminist bastion The Guardian is happy to publish it. I wonder why.

5680

I’m not familiar with John Crace, but I’m not seeing the misogyny in this (hilarious) article. Was there a part of it which stood out for you?

5681

I’m not seeing it either. Liz Truss was a terrible PM who had the shortest term in office due to her incompetence and her party’s stupidity. Was there some nugget in the article I missed?

The image of a housewife doped up on Librium/Valium seems like an almost exclusively female negative stereotype.

5683

Ahh ok, I didn’t know that Librium was a type of benzo, I had assumed it was just some odd British slang. If it makes the situation any better, it’s a terrible nickname and seems unlikely to catch on outside of that dude’s columns.

I think the lettuce was really the death-blow to her administration, and that nickname is no lettuce.

Not sure that this really fits here, as Tankies aren’t liberals (indeed, as this points out, assume are funded by right wing Tankie equivalents)s, but this is nonetheless an interesting piece of the rise of these idiots, and their impact in the new Internet based media.

Is this all back to the Stone’s Mother’s Little Helper?
