Nixon’s original War on Drugs may not have been the first shot, but it was definitely part of the first action. Everything the GOP has done since has been a deliberate effort to undermine democracy, ensure their wins regardless of who votes what way, to bring back or shore up the rule of ONLY old, rich, white men from…

It’s the oldest straw man in the business.

Blame Obama or whomever for the hire if you want.  The bottom line is that FEMA has bosses who are supposed to be the oversight for shit like this, long before the FBI has to get involved, and certainly long before a bunch of hick nobodies steals $1.8 billion in tax money and leaves millions of American citizens to…

The minute someone with a shred of integrity gets to the White House, Fox News’ broadcasting license should be revoked on Day 1, at 8:01 AM.

I’m with you. It totally varies by preparation / presentation.

I’m so sick of the plutocrats of the American Right exploiting the tragedy of Venezuela’s horrific collapse for anti-socialist propaganda.

Plot twist: it turns out to be a groundhog kidney.

File under: “You literally cannot make this shit up”

There are a bunch of things wrong with that analogy. Let’s start with the dogged insistance that we’re talking about “contractors”, not employees. Mutineers are crew aboard a ship, who naturally can’t go anywhere if they want to stop being crew, until and unless the ship docks. So they’re much more analogous to…

Good find. Thanks. Cripes, though. 1 per month or less? That sounds like tobacco smoking figures, or what I’d expect out of them, not a sugary drink. I mean, if it’s a candy bar, or 2 or 3 candy bars’ equivalent... does that mean eating a candy bar a month puts you 1% closer to the grave?

Its too bad there isn’t more on more moderate levels of consumption, like 2 servings per week instead of per day.  We’re finally starting to see real data like that about alcohol (and it isn’t good, with the studies showing moderate consumption being healthier than teetotaling being deeply flawed, apparently), but not…

Everything bad Trump has ever done is already public knowledge.  When you’re that rich, you can simply pay to have people vouch for you that it’s all untrue, and get rid of any hard evidence that would count as far as prosecution is concerned.  Or you just keep it quiet long enough for the Statute of Limitations to…

1.) Oyster (the little piece of dark meat in the corner of the thigh, tucked into its own recess in the bone)

If I have full administrator rights on my profile, why does every version of this say “page not available”? This setting is not accessible no matter what I do...

I literally cannot believe I’m skimming a “human cost” article about the end of a sport built on animal cruelty. Humans can get new jobs. You can’t un-torture a dog.

Ugh. Bleach is absolutely TERRIBLE as Snake Oil. Not just as in “oh, what terrible things happen when you drink bleach.” No, I mean it’s also one of the absolute worst choices if you want to actually sell people placebo medicines.

Ah, so you enjoy fornicating with canteloupe 20 times a day, do you?

Only if you do so in specific cases. It’s pre-judging to say THIS guy or lady I’m interviewing strikes me as the sort to be a problem later, vs. knowing that I’ve interviewed 6 recovering addicts this week and if I hire some of them, I’m likely to have a problem at some point, if and when one or more of them relapses.

I’m just going to say that’s an awful lot of benefit of the doubt... I mean miles upon miles of assumption of goodwill, slack, and generosity of spirit, for someone who drove a motor vehicle into another person. Our justice system was built to spare innocent people at the cost of also failing to prosecute some of the…

Someone remind them it’s because long hours, abusive and toxic work environments, low pay and shitty benefits make it hard to sell pretty much any job these days, even to people who need the money.
