I’m really, really over the “I’m not perfect...I’m just human” line. None of us has EVER mistaken clergy for The Divine. Given how much power they wield (and are given), it behooves them to have good character. Pastor, Priest, Imam, Rabbi, Manbo, Houngan, Santera/o, etc. If this were a rapper or a teen parents,…

I’m about to join the countless white people calling bullshit on blaming Diabetes.

The doctor who first diagnosed Diabetic Tourettes is being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. 

He took the 5th amendment during his deposition 75 times. That’s what, once for every $4 million he earned from the company doing the fraud? https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/fl-op-col-rick-scott-medicare-fraud-20181002-story.html

I’ve seen this show before except it was a version in my own state. When John Kasich got elected Governor of Ohio, one of the first things he did was reject funding to repair and expand rail service and he did it only because it came from Barack Obama.

There seem to be a lot of people who aren’t racist in their hearts, but are in their mouths and brains.

He went there to look for Obama’s real birth certificate. Woulda found it if they hadn’t deported his ass so quick.

Ted Cruz is the most insufferable piece of garbage that routinely gets press. I know he’s playing to the idiots that really do believe Biden is personally going to snatch their children’s books like Obama did their guns, but it still makes him look stupid to anyone that has more to do with their lives than own the…

Uh Stephen Neera Tanden didn’t fail. The process of letting unqualified, thin skinned bitch ass white men decide her fate failed. Yes you Joe Manchin from your meth and welfare state that live off of the rest of us. I mean really you still mad Kamala did an interview in your shit state without asking for permission?…

CPAC. “No really, we are Nazis.”

If anyone deserves to be at Guantanamo with a bag over his head and a car battery strapped to his nads, it’s this treasonous hillbilly.

The amazing thing about all this drama is that no one one off of Ultra Political Twitter has any idea who Neera Tanden is. If you walked into a crowd of people and said “What do you all think of Biden’s nomination of Neera Tanden to lead the OMB?” The top two responses would be “Who?” and “What’s the OMB?”

Yeah, I was thinking - Nine?  By then I was a latch-key kid who routinely had a couple hours to my self every day.  By ten, I was staying at home by myself every day during the summer.

My sister at 9 was definitely left watching me at 3. This was '80, '81, and she did it for years. Some kids grow up faster than others because they have to. They shouldn't be underestimated.

I think I was 6 or 7 when my parents started leaving me home alone. Hungry? Whip-up a box of Mac ‘n Cheese or make a sandwich. Bored? Watch TV or go ride your bike. Surviving as a kid isn’t exactly rocket-science. Here in NC, having your 9-year-old taking care of their younger siblings is the norm.

I’m Gen-X and was left alone by myself or with another kid my age often so that my mom could work. I was also around 8. 

By my math, this young woman had two children before she was even a legal adult

The fact is that America has criminalized being poor. And with America having a for-profit justice/prison system and the fact that the country is steadily sliding into being a 3rd world county, this is obviously a bad thing. Welcome to American Late Stage Capitalism.

By my math, this young woman had two children before she was even a legal adult—it’s staggering to think of how profoundly our society failed her and her children, that she had to leave her children alone in a motel to go work a job. It is shameful that this kind of shit is so common.

I had grits for breakfast.
