I would suspect that someone claiming “if you’re drinking wine from France, its’ champagne” would get more of a rise from this crowd. I do think it was a little odd that the author called out some of the responses as fact free instead of all of them/wonder if that is why people aren’t getting the joke.

I’m sorry/not sorry you’ll be leaving the amazing goodness of everything from Bulletts to Buffalo Trace, Flying Pig to Pappy van Winkle (and assorted things delightful and Irish/Scottish) to the rest of us.

I generally hate horror movies and loved Get Out. It is much more of a thriller with one gory horror sequence near the end, and even that was pretty mild compared to most horror movies. Plus lots of laughs - I think of it more like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead than a hardcore horror film.

While it would be a clear violation of election law to use the campaign’s money to pay off Daniels, my own impression is that it likely still violated campaign law for Cohen (who had no personal interest in the transaction) to pay Daniels off for the purposes of impacting Trump’s electoral chances. This is essentially…

To suppress political speech - which is why regardless of who paid her this is probably an illegal donation to the Trump campaign and Cohen is yet again showing he was out of his depth doing anything other than stiffing Trump’s business partners.

They resurface between groups in figure skating, but then the whole group practices on it before anyone goes.

Her statement makes complete sense once you understand her definition of civil rights is standing up for all the nice white Christian cisgender men who have been “victimized” by affirmative action, gay marriage, and accusations of sexual assault.

Yeah, but this wasn’t young Brando - this was post Last Tango in Paris, fuck anything that can’t get out of his way Brando.

The House Intelligence Committee isn’t a source of funding and you can’t serve on it indefinitely so there’s only so many people who want the job. It is a way to get a lot of TV coverage sometimes but that’s about it.

Never mind the irony of Trump saying this after his reaction to the exoneration of the Central Park 5 from false accusations he leveled was “they should still have been locked up” and acknowledgement that his claims of birtherism were false came with no remorse or effort at contrition at all.

But the key there was the allegations against Corey were true, so the fact they had no impact just underscores how bad the impact of false accusations are - Kelly Anne Conway in about 6 minutes.

Not just the private sector - he actually complained about how it is too hard to fire people in executive agencies in the State of the Union. The whole reason why it is hard to fire them is to avoid politicizing their jobs and ensure due process is met. So nope, he doesn’t understand the scope or meaning of the…

As someone with a daughter who loves Legos, I have grown more and more angry with the Lego Friends sets over time. At first it was like - cool, Legos with animals and stuff she likes - but the purple and pink and “OMG shopping!” themes are just shitty. The set for female heroes of the DC universe while gendered wasn’t…

It can’t be a class action as it didn’t arise out of a singular transaction or occurrence with a common fact pattern. Plus a lot of the individual encounters described, while creepy, likely were the kind of things where the women at the time put up with them because they weren’t worth the effort of going through with…

That snippet of video will be exhibit A in their defense to any civil claim or internal affairs review. It is horseshit and coercive as fuck, but it will be believed by a lot of people who don’t think police are as big of assholes as anyone on the wrong side of them sees.

I’d argue isolated incidents like this stand out to us because we’ve actually gotten a lot better about how we treat domestic animals/pets. It wasn’t that long ago that the norm was to kill a dog or cat anytime it became inconvenient for either the owner or society. Kids and adults tortured animals by doing things…

Someone gave betas out as the “gift bag” at a birthday my daughter went to. Her mother was not amused, and I can only imagine how many had “accidents” in the next few weeks, but the one she got lasted quite a while.

My understanding of it is if the animal helps you carry out daily tasks your disability impairs, then the ADA covers it/can be part of accommodations for the disability. At least that’s how it has been with the dogs my students have brought to class. That would include a seizure dog, a trained PTSD dog, a guide dog…

Quayle did a lot more than one dumb thing, though. The fight with an elementary school kid stood out but from the first day he was nominated he was functioning at Palinesque levels of dumb (the Chilean anatomically correct doll incident for example). And the GOP knew it and didn’t care.

It depends on how broadly they interpret public services but it could include everything from that situation to your kid (regardless of status) getting free or reduced lunch in school or just attending public school. Public health screenings, low cost clinics, anything subsidized by the state - it really is malleable.
