I’d be willing to bet that pacifists don’t get to avoid paying taxes in any such exemption.

It’s different when the kids are older and you have more than one. Mine are 7 & 5, and I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had to say “be quiet! Sometimes I get to talk to dad/mom!” Because, honestly, it’s like everytime one of us starts to talk, one of them starts talking over us or singing a random song. They’re…

like a beach tent

This has been the standard MO of Republicans when they’ve passed RTW laws for years now.

This would probably be a good time for a study on the difference between Precision and Accuracy. It appears that this image is very Precise. Whether or not it is Accurate can probably never be proven. I’d like to offer myself as a subject to be photographed extensively. When I die, this team can use my skull to…

“Incredibly accurate reconstructions like this [...]”

He won’t even meet with the people and the organization that saved his life and made it possible for him to live. I guarantee he pretends he did it all himself and willed himself to heal from polio and no one helped him.

You’re not crazy. I think the only thing preventing a false flag (can’t believe I’m using that phrase) is that the intelligence community is thoroughly alienated from Trump, and his inner circle isn’t competent enough to orchestrate such a thing without professional help. If they tried, it would be so amateurish and…

I want his fate to be like the king in Braveheart, who has the truth of his heir’s paternity revealed to him as he’s dying and unable to speak. “Mitch, can you hear me? The news just came in... President Michelle Obama just passed single payer...”

And he wouldn’t meet with health advocacy organizations - including March of Dimes - while crafting his “wealthcare” bill.

One of my best friends from childhood is a conservative media victim (what else should I call it?). I ask him today what he thought about the health care vote being delayed and he responded that it didn’t matter because CNN was caught admitting all Russia coverage was fake news. The guy has been a great friend to me,…

Maybe it is because the country is being run by conspiracy theorists that I’ve started thinking like one myself, but whenever they postpone something big that no one will like until after an auspicious short break, I wonder what sort of shit they are going to orchestrate during that break to turn the tide in their…

I openly want the very worst, most tragic events real life can offer to dodge Mitch McConnell to his grave.

I don’t understand why the guy wanted the woman moved instead of asking to be moved himself. Is this a patriarchy issue?

There was a whole group of Hare Krishnas in Union Square a few weeks ago and I was shocked, because I thought that had kind of ended in the late 80s.

Wait, are you suggesting that their actions are rooted in male entitlement and not religion? Quelle horreur!

And specifically it’s to avoid contact with your own menstruating wife or partner, not just any woman who is. In fact, it very clearly states that in EVERY CASE where a risk of such exists the MAN must remove himself, and if necessary SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. rather than embarass or make his wife uncomfrotable.

Hardline Buddhists exist in places like Myanmar. But it’s more about identity and justifying hatred towards other groups (like Rohingya Muslims) than the religion per se. You know, like all fundamentalists.

It ain’t just the Jewish faith. Fundamentalism is ridiculous, period.
