Yes.

Schools have a media policy? What a bunch of baloney. I hope you recorded her ass.

Translated: We’re desperately calling law firms, hoping we can find one that can cut our monetary damages as low as possible, and is scummy enough to destroy the integrity of a 12-year old girl without a second thought.

Sure, but my son was nearly suspended for three days because he filmed a fight and its aftermath in his high school cafeteria. The principal explained that it was a violation of their “media policy” and she didn’t want the school’s reputation to be harmed. I spent about two hours negotiating her out of it.

He isn’t wrong about how the system is fucked, but it is a problem that he has zero interest in figuring out how to fix it beyond giving speeches. I like the guy, but this is a serious flaw of…

I recently read his tuition-free college plan and it’s crazy how it assumes that states will happily depend on Wall Street success in order to fund their universities (God forbid that economic downturns will happen).

So this is what it looks like when journalists finally start vetting Sanders, huh?

Remember that scene in Mel Brooks History of the World, Part 1- where an unlucky youth carried around a piss/shit bucket for the nobility? Not that far off. When you factor in the lack of bathing, and lack of sobriety, things must have been ...fragrant.

At Versailles basically you used one of the nearly 300 “close stools” (a furniture seat that contained a chamber pot) at the palace. Some of these were placed in rooms or antechambers of their own, others were brought to you in your own room by servants, and taken away when you were finished. Of course, visitors to…

Pay fucking attention to the crimes being discussed in either instance.
