They don’t care if it’s a problem because J.K. Rowling = $$$$$, which is greater than any mid-list writer clients that might (justifiably) be upset by this.

Oh, you’d be surprised at who would - and who has - played private parties/weddings/etc for some fast coin. You’d be even more surprised how little many of them will take for it - particularly worried former A-listers and thirsty, current B or C-listers, who’ll gladly do a 20 minute set for about as much as the…

At least we can take solace in the fact that Bolton testifying would not have changed the impeachment outcome. The republicans are a cult of Trump worshippers. No matter what Bolton might have said in testimony, Trump was always going to win the senate trial.

Considering Mitch’s vow from the start to kill the impeachment process in the senate, I’m curious as to what strategy Bolton would have recommended the house democrats to employ?

It wasn’t Bolton’s place to analyze the Dems impeachment strategy for them. Whatever info he had on the Ukraine situation, he should have come forward with it. As for other misconduct, what would’ve prevented him from testifying that he had info on that and he would be like to bring it the committee’s attention for…

hahahahahaha

I don’t want to hear anybody say that this is an accident. I’m sick of the excuse of stupidity or ignorance to be used to defend this administration’s actions (“Trump’s too stupid to know it is a Nazi symbol, yada yada yada). Even if say Trump really didn’t know, he is not operating alone in the White House. He has…

Typically that is how it is done, the teacher “interviews” the kid and then writes down the funny answers. It’s more a historical documentation of what the kid thinks at a particular age. Like asking them what they want to be when they grow up, or seeing how they view the world around them. 

To the people saying that can’t be an eleven year old’s handwriting: you’re right, Saint West is four years old. That is classic kindy teacher handwriting. And I don’t think I’ve ever read anything sadder than a four year old thinking his mother likes ‘leaving him alone’. Saint may not be shading KKW but I bet his kind…

Um, no about Natalie Portman. Read her statement. At first she didn’t get it, then she got it, and explained how/why she now gets it.

arguing that this mass grassroots uprising against police brutality and white supremacy is actually some sort of top-down conspiracy coordinated by wealthy elites

“Unsure of what Carlson’s plans are, I raised my toilet’s lid and screamed “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY” down into the pipes where the Fox News anchor is rumored to summer.”

Ugh. This “Battlefield D.C” thing makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve heard from 2 vets so far that tell me that this is just plain fruitcake-nutty and that the Sec’y of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs need to resign. I’m quite worried.

It’s a pity the Geneva Conventions only apply to war. Nations are free to break them all the time on their own citizens, and so we do. For example, using chemical weapons (e.g. pepper spray) is also a violation. From the War Resisters League:

It’s not even that I am  shocked that it is happening, but I am shocked that they are doing it gleefully and with full knowledge that they are recorded and in full public view across the world. 

The bigger mystery to me is, who watches these videos? Who follows these people and wants to listen to basic people spewing basic shit for 45 minutes, which could be condensed into 2 minutes but they stretch it out foreeeeever to get more $$$$?

Oh my god, “gotcha day”? My brother and I were adopted as infants, and it was VERY clear to us from the get-go - even though it was never actually said in so many words - that the days we were born were the days that we were born into our family, regardless of how many days it took for us to be officially placed in…

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

Apparently, Harry hates the term “Megxit” because it implies Meghan was the one who wanted to leave the U.K., though it is a convenient pun. Perhaps “Susxit”
