Not sure how I feel about this.

I don’t see running for office in my own future, but at least all this talk is getting me to consider it. And it’s getting me excited to support women who do run locally (Gretchen Witmer for MI governor in 2018, woot!!)

I’m with you. This man inherited the worst economy, terrible job numbers and a congress that was dead-set on giving him any credit or any help fixing it.

His official photo immediately made me think of Vigo

I have a friend who requested tickets months ago when it seemed like Hillary was a sure thing. She received them last week. She’s still going to DC — for the march — but her family of 5 will not be at the Inauguration. I wonder how many other ticket holders won’t be there.

And his official photo is creepy AF.

And the terrifying part (to me) is less that he is incapable of letting petty issues go but that:

Anyone else find themselves constantly doing that thing where you start a rant, decide you need to stop because you’re going to make yourself sick/have a rage stroke, and then 10 seconds later start up again because you just can’t stop?

It’s so appropriate that the de facto leader of the so-called “anti-PC movement” is someone who absolutely cannot take a fucking joke.

I was really shocked by this too. I guess sometimes they base it on flight risk, but she seems like a decent flight risk too...

Seriously! $20,000 doesn’t even come close to what the bail should be.

WTF is she only on $20,000 bail? What in the actual fuck yall? Her child was 30 pounds.

and what about the other kids? how did they process all of this? And why did this child get singled out for this horrific treatment? This story is awful and confusing

So, the father lived in the house and only now discovered that one of his children was locked in one of the bathrooms for two years? Did he think his son was on a really long field trip?

I had to go back up to see what age he was. 12 was a long time ago, but I’m pretty sure I was in the 70s-80s. And I was a SKINNY kid.

The boy weighed 30 pounds when he was found

I think she definitely wanted the world to see it. You don’t livestream your own death if you don’t want virtual witnesses. I find myself a little conflicted about scrubbing the internet of the video for this reason. On one hand I’m thoroughly repulsed by the people who are passing the video around on social media.

I work in sexual violence in the state. In all likelihood, they told her they didn’t believe her or made her feel it was her fault and told her not to make trouble. Children in these kinds of situations, as well as bullying situations, generally kill themselves after the adults in their life fail to protect them.

The video ... ends with the girl hanging from the tree for around 20 minutes as the sun sets, while a woman off-camera can be heard calling her name.
