So fucking what? Lying under oath is only a crime when it’s a Democrat committing the offense. It’s a very similar principle to the ‘deficits are only bad when they’re run during a Democratic administration,’ principle,’ or the ‘US casualties abroad are only scandalous under a Democratic administration,’ principle.

Or that people are complete fucking idiots when it comes to realizing the benefits of their union. My union negotiated a contract with an 18% raise, and years of retroactive pay a couple years back. The very day it was negotiated I was in a room with people (who were easily replaceable) bitching about how the union…

I get that. I just meant that they tend to be there for very different reasons (conservatives tend to be there because they got stuck there, while bleeding hearts like myself made a choice).

I’ve met plenty of liberal folks in socioeconomically disadvantaged schools, too. The reason they’re there just tends to be different.

I’m of the ‘free lunch for all students’ persuasion. All kids should eat, and I’m good with society collectively paying for it. And I’m totally cool with that raising my taxes if need be.

I find, as a teacher in a high needs urban school, the teachers who are extremely conservative use what they see in the classroom to justify their preconceived notions about people of other races/creeds/nationalities, etc. Often, these are teachers that would have preferred to teach in suburban schools but, for one…

“The club has no policies of racial discrimination.”

Fair point.

Point taken, but I do think your comment highlights just how important it is for those of us who are citizens to show up and march along side people with non-citizenship status.

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…

I feel similarly about X. All FF games are linear (especially by today’s open world standards), but the earlier ones were amazing at giving you the feel of exploration, even when you were exploring completely linear dungeons. I think, silly as it sounds, it was the lack of dot/arrow on a map telling you exactly where…

You are my favorite internet writer. For whatever the fuck that is worth.

I was assuming the crown with the cross on top (not the bishop cross, the other one) was king, because there are only one of each of those on each side.

I live/work in Queens. To answer your question about the outer boroughs from my perspective: kind of. We all are connected to Manhattan for the most part (jobs, friends, family, going out, etc.), so it’s something that resonates with you more than when it happens far away, but I don’t know anyone whose…

I was at a restaurant last week that offered ‘Hawaiian Smash’. When I asked what this was, they responded guacamole. Nothing special, no pineapple or other Hawaiian twist. Just guacamole.

Interesting, I didn't realize that about the android/iPhone. Thanks.

He's one of the only politicians that I have zero doubt actually controls their own Twitter. Unlike Art of the Deal, that shit ain't ghost written.

The problem with pulling an emergency break on a train is that, for nearly every emergency, you want to be closer to first-responders, and you’ve now stranded yourself in the middle of a train tunnel, further away from first-responders, than you would have been if you had just let the train get to the next stop.

Except for the fact that he corrected himself in the very next sentence by saying, “It doesn’t happen in other places with this frequency.”
