Our national media fail to hold the GOP accountable for the fact that the GOP has no actual agenda or policy. They fully expect that Democrats won’t let their extreme policies happen. Their entire strategy is to propose the wackiest, most extreme ideas to the delight of their base, while counting on liberals to draw…

it would make sense if her home is on a septic tank. Otherwise, I also can’t see how collection would be possible.

My cynical side is thinking they were only able to recover trace material (and that may have factored in how this played out in the case presented to the grand jury) with the wording intended to make…

I’d say report the nurse to the state board and move to have her license permanently suspended/revoked, but it’s Ohio so the board would probably just give her an award instead. 

Same. How many actual crimes do you think got committed out there while they were presumably digging through this poor miscarrying woman’s septic tank?

That was part of the story that I did NOT understand (beyond the total disregard for patient confidentiality). How on earth is that retrievable when presumably, the same toilet had been used multiple times since? I wish police had that level of hustle for important issues.

Watts miscarried in late September while using the restroom in her home, then flushed the fetal remains down her toilet. The nurse called the police when she came to the hospital bleeding and said she was no longer pregnant. This prompted police to visit Watts’ house days later, recover the fetal remains,

When Watts feels up to it, I hope she takes the hospital to the cleaners and that the nurse is named in the lawsuit. Five bucks says the nurse is the type who really thinks she is a good person. Phony nice women, fear them.

Americans, as a culture, only care about their own children and not even that much for those kids. Harsh, maybe, but absolutely true when you compare our health care, education, and family policies with almost any other Western country.

I’m hoping they seize Trump Tower in lieu of payment. Most of his ego is tied up in those ugly-ass towers he’s built in every city, and he’d feel it for sure.

The punitive damages aren’t on her or her lawyers for asking for too much. They simply asked the question “How much will it take to make Trump stop?” ... the jury decided THAT number was $65 million.

It’s worth noting: This is the 3rd time Gerwig had a picture nominated for Best Picture but was passed over for a Best Director nomination.

Calling it now; dude has a collection of child porn that would make Josh Duggar blush.

Calling it now....Dusty has an IMPRESSIVE collection of porn somewhere.

I don’t think it’s weird to sympathize with her. The only thing weird was her being sent to jail. She should have been sent to a psychiatric facility to help her.

Frosting is cloying and ruins the flavors just by virtue of being SO FUCKING SWEET.

My sincere hope is the site is not just back but returns to some of the former quality and insight that made it a an outsized-pop culture staple. Frankly the site had been in decline for years before its shuttering. I don’t mean to shit on you or any other writers who, I gather, have been working under less-than-ideal…

I started reading Gawker every day around 20 years ago when I still lived in NYC, probably more for the local gossip than anything else. When I moved to the other side of the world, it was one way I maintained a connection to “home” at the time.

That blows chunks. I’ve been here since Erin Gloria Ryan was still working finance (in Chicago?) and she was commenting on the sly as “Morning Gloria”.

Not sure how scary this is, but here goes - a psychic cat lady story:
