He’s rewarded in Hollywood because his father has been a Vogue photographer for ages and his mother is an opera director. His siblings are also in entertainment. He is the very definition of nepotism. 

Melania being the “classiest” first Lady in history is a statement that immediately tells me I cannot have a conversation with someone.

I suspect it’s too much plastic surgery when you’re young. It fucks up your face because as you age, your face changes too. Getting plastic surgery young is a terrible idea.

This shit is bonkers. And so crazy to me that racism like this can survive serving alongside black people, probably in the same shitty bunk on the same shitty ship.

The Commanding General and Senior NCO of Fort Jackson are Black men. So I hope that we can rest assured that he will get exactly what he deserves within the bounds of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And maybe a bit more when nobody’s looking.

Hopefully this asshat will get a dishonorable discharge, lose his pension and benefits, and then get screwed by UCMJ on a federal level.

This is a very powerful comment. It has made me rethink a lot of my childhood and life. Your first paragraph describes my parents so well that I wonder if you know me in real life???

Yeah—it’s easier to blow off a kid than to take a kid seriously when they deal with real shit. And so many of our parents had their own shit to deal with. They came from the era of “if your teacher punishes you at school, you will get punished again at home.” They believed in authority. They had corporal punishment,…

It’s actually a pain in the ass to find a position in a school where your not immediately replaced by someone else in the county with seniority. It often takes years (even after the schooling and temping) for a teacher to land a stable position in a school. 

It apparently got quietly cancelled in the wake of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglss shooting 

This. My parents eyerolled their way through my adolescent experience. They thought teenage girls were vapid and stupid. They thought I was being dramatic when I talked about bullying from students and teachers and how one girl got laxative put in her drink and she had to go to the hospital or the time a teacher my…

I think that Heathers acknowledged what you’re saying—that parents, and adults in general, don’t have a clue what teenagers are actually going through. But when I was in high school, many of the people I knew were going through things that made the “serious shit” in this movie also look silly. I knew a girl in high…

The first time I saw Heathers was in a mall with a couple of friends. None of us were technically old enough to see an R-rated movie without a parent or guardian, but the bored teenager at the window just took our money and waved us in. We throughly enjoyed the movie and walked out of there saying, “that was like…

Sex trafficking, government takeover, concentration camps, election fraud, fraud, repression.
All things that Republicans have screamed that Democrats would inflict upon America if they took power, but have done themselves. It’s projecting. This is what they’ll do.

Dude, this third person crap was bad enough when Bob Dole did it. 

This is exactly, precisely, the kind of weasely workaround creeps like this use: “Oh, I never paid for sex! I only paid for her time and companionship!”

The reason that so many areas are gerrymandered is that white republicans don’t have that majority without it. European Whites are not a clear majority any longer, and that is a shrinking demographic as birth rates go down in that demographic. 

I’m about your age, and I don’t remember a lot of dress code fooferaw in my (mostly white) suburban high school. Certainly no concern over the angle of a cheerleaders spankies. And I know exactly what velour/terry cloth onesies you’re talking about, but those were more jr. high for me, and in a heavily Mormon area,…

If Gaetz’s confidants are getting the fuck out of dodge, there’s no telling what chaos the coming days will bring.

wow, wow, wow. That’s not how autism works. Autism is neurodevelopmental, Autistic people are Autistic their whole lives. Stop telling parents that EI will “cure” their kid, it won’t. What it does is help their kid by educating the parents on their child’s unique development and how to support them. Please do better…
