That doesn’t bother me, just so long as he’s not a serial harasser or predator, or supports them.

Exactly. His defenders tried to equate what he was doing with norms of the time, but you can easily see it wasn’t the case. He wasn’t courting younger women because he knew the family, or met at supervised social functions. He was trawling in spots where he knew young women would be for hours at a time without easy…

I agree with you about Flay. I just hope Alton Brown (who isn’t technically a chef or restauranteur) has nothing in his closet. I’d spiral out of control if AB was really an asshole.

He should be strung up by his thumbs just for green lighting a name like “Eataly” *shudder*

And as we were reminded with Roy Moore, an environment where predators can stalk and groom targets simply under the guise of being a ‘regular customer’

They have the same requirements, but the tests (like any medical test) are not 100% accurate. She 100% had the right to choose who she performed with, and choosing not to perform with someone with known risk factors even if the tests were clean makes perfect sense. Her body, her choice. I read nothing that stated or…

Actually I do understand how this works. It’s an intelligence dossier, a collection of raw intel from credible sources, yet hasn’t been fully corroborated and verified (because operatives working on their own don’t do that). That’s why he sought to hand the thing off to British Intel and the FBI, because they have the…

Well juries don’t get to decide how the laws are written and interpreted. So really it’s up to legislatures to address the legal codes pertaining to police shootings more than anything. And since I have even less faith in politicians doing the right thing than I do juries, you end up being right anway. hehe

I’ll just point out that nothing about it has been disproven yet. Apart from the Donald loudly saying it’s fake, there’s been no evidence presented that counters anything in it.

Putin got into power because he used to be in charge of recording compromising videos of businessmen in those Russian hotels. While I don’t…

Agreed, but I’m of the opinion that as de facto officers of the court, the laws they’re supposed to enforce (for themselves and the public) are their ‘boss’ even above and beyond their direct supervisors. So we get to both be right. :)

The other thing we need to do is replace the ‘fear of your life’ legal standard that lets far too many officer involved shooters off the hook. Officers need to be trained, and then expected to meet a higher standard. Far too many municipalities rely on lax laws to cover for their unwillingness to pay to train their…

It’s not a perfectly legitimate question posed in a vacuum on Twitter. Boiling it down to a number pulled from his nether regions is facile and context free, and thus contributes nothing to the real questions of cost and ethics that accompany military action.

because according to White House officials, it will, rather conveniently, take several years to actually build a new embassy in Jerusalem.

It also puts our theoretical embassy (which wouldn’t get built any time before Trump left office even if he got 3 terms), at ground zero for any conflict it sparks. It is in every sense but the literal, a giant KICK ME sign that we put on our own crotch.

... written in giant flashing neon.

... and nails pointing inward.

It’s not seriously hard. People aren’t watching ‘The Ranch’ for deep continuity. Just have the ‘zomg car accident’ phone call and call it a day then start on the funeral episode.

Having been tied to both City of Heroes and Marvel Heroes Online, I’d say the two situations are opposites. Because of the situation that led to NCSoft creating Paragon Studios to run the game, they owned the rights to all of it, and made the decision on high to shut it down for little or no reason, and refused pretty…

I vote for the Savannah Guthrie / Ann Curry power hour.

Republicans used to be the party that was ALL about eliminating the deficit.

Stephanie frustrates me because she’s more likely to raise her voice or jump to another topic than to look at something in depth. I’m spoiled by Maddow I guess.

I too have a huge crush on Nicolle. She’s the kind of Republican I can like and respect.

They’re each other’s angry kink.
