Makes me wonder if the insane amount of pressure that hospitals are putting on mothers to breastfeed, should maybe be walked back a bit.

So I started at my new job a few months ago, and have been pretty happy up until yesterday. I misinterpreted the culture at my office, and did something supremely stupid. Then one of the partners (someone who has been really good to me) proceeded to go into attack mode over e-mail. I apologized and rectified the…

Also she wants him to change his residence to Virginia. He’s a sitting Congressman. If he does that, our district loses its representation in Washington. She either doesn’t know that (bad sign) or doesn’t care (worse sign). 

Criminal activity/ethics violations can get you removed.

I am reading through the comments and can’t help but notice that any comment that is remotely kind to Crowley, or slightly critical of Ocasio, stays in the greys.  Just a coincidence, right? 

Because he still supports and votes for NY candidates, and is still active in the party. And well,he can’t vote for her if he is registered in Virginia.

Eh. I don’t see it, since he isn’t campaigning. He doesn’t want to change his own voter registration to an out of state reg. Despite popular rhetoric, he spends a LOT of time in the district. He’s back and forth a lot, but he’s definitely not an absentee Rep. 

You’ll never get out of the greys with comments like that ;-)

Thing is, by ranting about it, SHE called attention to it and created more of a threat to herself than would have ever been the case otherwise. Now, she has not only brought attention to his name on the ballot, but her handling of this just isn’t a good look.

OK. I will absolutely vote for her, but she needs to grow the fuck up, like, NOW. This is some petty crap, and it makes her look like she is afraid that people will vote for him. Even though he isn’t campaigning.

Yeah. My boobs are big too. Fortunately Mr. Illhave has broad shoulders and a big chest.

My ass and thighs are too big to wear my husband’s boxer briefs.

Yeah, and I hate the way that fluid in your ears feels. The q tip is part of the drying-off process.

I was telling someone that I think that even goes beyond “getting rid of the brown people”. They are trying to change the narrative of what a “soldier” is. Every fucking Hallmark commercial shows the white male soldier coming home to his hetero family, complete with pregnant wife who tells him of her pregnancy in very…

I just re-read your second paragraph and it reminded me of the episode in the Handmaid’s Tale where she is hiding out in the Econo Family’s house. I feel for you. I do not recognize my country anymore.

They don’t have much choice but to stay put for now. If the shit hits the fan they can be in Canada in under an hour and a half. 

It’s all good. Thanks for your good wishes.

Well, I am a lawyer, and I’d like to think my clients trust me. And their lawyer was a classmate of mine in law school. He’s a good guy, and is himself an immigrant. I think he believes they will be fine. And he handles tons of immigration cases per year and they don’t make the news, so maybe he’s right.

And that was pretty shitty of his colleagues. And of Dubya.

This is what frightens me. My son in law is an immigrant from a theocratic country, who is now an avowed atheist. I am pretty sure he will be executed if he goes back.He works, pays taxes, and avoids breaking the law at all costs. Dude gets nervous about a parking ticket.
