...those of us who need those rights and like it when there are people with power supporting us?

Sorry, I don’t buy their story at all. There have been school-aged White House kids in the past, and all of them seem to have weathered the sorrows, terror and heartbreak of moving to DC, enrolling in a high-dollar private school and living in the most famous residence in the United States just fine. Most other…

I maintain that the people who were most bent out of shape about Hillary’s emails don’t actually understand what email servers are.

It not only exists, I found out recently my aunt & uncle, who are in their mid-60s, pay them $60 EVERY MONTH for email and web portal. Yes, they do pay for wifi at home and have no need to be paying a ridiculous amount to AOL. AOL is, apparently, coasting on the tech naivete of Boomers.

But we don’t allow that with most other foods with real definitions. When you make a faux product of almost any other types, US labelling laws do require you to be clear about what you are really selling. In fact, you hippie veggie types like to mock it, like when cheese made with oil legally has to be labelled…

I mean, I hate Kellyanne Conway just as much as the next person, but saying she looked at home on her knees in the Oval Office?

I always just thought those products seemed almost more like juices somehow? Almond juice? Almond drink? I don’t know. They all gross me out, tbh.

Are you being facetious here or do you really not understand how evolution works? Because first of all, evolution does take hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years to make major changes. Second, homo sapiens as a species has not existed for 2 millions years, so yes, we have fucking evolved in that span of…

As someone who has, on multiple occassions, met (and weirdly, mountain biked with) W., I can assure you that his ‘nice guy’ and ‘affable idiot’ persona can be very disarming but deep down he is still the anti-choice, war mongering a-hole we loved to hate for 8 long years.

Yep, cause a wildly rising stock market has never led to a problem.

FYI: YesYesThisAgain is, while not a troll in the strict sense of the word, an MRA who mostly hangs around Jezebel to argue (at great length) about how hard life is for men. I fell into the trap last week, and it’s really not worth engaging him.

Well, since this is a hotly contested issue in many parts of the country, and she might be in a better position to sway people who on the fence about it, I’d imagine a lot of people who care about women having access to reproductive rights give a shit about this.

Actually Planned Parenthood is a Bush family tradition–they’re not evangelicals, they’re from a pragmatic old WASP establishment that thought one of the best ways to help people lift themselves out of poverty was family planning. Grandpa George’s nickname in Congress used to be “Rubbers” b/c of the family support. …

I took his comments to mean that he thought Anthony didn’t intend for Caylee to die even if she was abusing her, not that duct tape is an acceptable means of disciplining a crying/loud child. It’s not an implausible theory, though the judge should have kept his mouth shut. It’s unseemly for a judge to speculate…

“As a whole, he’s courageous.”

That is the dumbest fucking comparison I can imagine. If they weren’t up to the job... they shouldn’t have taken the damn job. You should raise your standards for professional adults who understand what’s being asked of them and are being paid to do a set list of things.

Can you imagine being the sort of person who wakes up in the morning and decides that your activity for the day will be track down and post online identifying information of some accountants who fucked up a stupid awards show? With the intention that someone will harm or at least threaten these accountants? Again, not…

No, her fuck up was not paying attention and not doing her damn job. Sure, Brian fucked up, but part of the reason she’s even there is to help correct these exact mistakes. She fucked up too and deserves blame.

A guy I worked with about 15 years ago was killed during an exorcism. He was tied to a chair while the congregation prayed over him. He died of dehydration. This was in Canada. It must be terrifying to have people you think care for you watch you die.

First, the only reason not to answer such a straight-forward question as “is Islam a religion?” is if the answer is “no”. Second, if Islam isn’t a religion, it’s pretty hard to imagine on what possible grounds the other two abrahamic religions could be. Third, to refuse to recognize a religion or to purposely conflate…
