Hulk must smash and smash again!

A short list of people who deserve some smashing:

•Charles Krauthammer, paraplegic right-wing hack who thinks it’s outrageous maternity care coverage is included in his health insurance as he doesn’t need it. Astonishingly, he doesn’t then suggest that it’s unfair on the able-bodied who don’t need the kind of treatments and wheelchairs he does to have to buy insurance that covers them. Almost like there’s a double standard. Ditto every other guy who objects to buying policies with maternity care but not, say, women buying policies that cover testicular cancer.

•A Lutheran pastor whose response to Mike Pence refusing to eat alone with women says men and women can’t be friends. And even trying is bad because that means they’re not popping out babies America needs to replenish himself (he doesn’t say white babies, but that’s my automatic assumption). As someone whose two best friends are women, dude you’re an ignorant idiot. And so are some of the guys Roy Edroso lists making similar arguments.

•Andrew Bowen, a US columnist who asked Arab News to purge his past columns because they were anti-Trump and might stop him getting a State Department post.

•And everyone involved in a Business Insider richsplaining article about all the way to become wealthy earning minimum wage. Like moving to a more affordable city (because moving across country when you’re broke is sooo easy). Living on $75 worth of food a month (I followed most of their tips, such as eating little meat, when I lived by myself and food bills were still $40 a week). Oh, and increase your annual earnings from $14,000 (at minimum wage) to $32,000. So basically it’s “how to build wealth on minimum wage by not working minimum wage.” richsplaining article.

•Donald Trump ,who condemned Obama for bombing Syria, but has begun aggressively bombing Syria.

•Bank of America for screwing over a couple struggling with their mortgage.

•Rape apologists.

•Bill O’Reilly, accused sexual harasser.

•Megan McArdle, complaining that the Democrats, as opposition party, are actually opposing stuff. She’s spouting all the usual cliches (and as noted at the link, in full double-standard mode). And she’s McArdle, whose bullshit was the subject of an earlier Hulk Smash post.
