Can’t fault you for your instincts—but if it’s not too probing a question, were you parenting in the fashion you were parented, or following your own road?

I interacted with Ciri much the way my folks did with me when I was growing up: I let her face her challenges on her own two legs, but I was never terribly far away…

Anything that causes him stress helps. Anything that forces him to froth at the mouth and spout lies for all the world to see helps. Anything that makes him look foolish helps. It won’t convince the die hards but it puts even more pressure on the Republicans and keeps our resistance reminded why we have to fight.…

My favorite new piece of information on this is that the PWC guy who gave Beatty the wrong envelope was warned by his company not to tweet during the ceremony. Shocker, he tweeted a picture of — you guessed it — Emma Stone walking backstage with her Oscar shortly before fucking up the envelopes.

Will do, thanks for the permission!

I am so fucking sick of how stupid people are. Either Perez or Ellison would have been fine (although Ellison would have been required to resign from his job as a US Representative to devote full time to the position).

Yeah, that line had me shocked. I had to reread it because I was sure that it couldn’t actually say what it said.

It was always gonna be between those two, they both knew it, and are gonna work together.

THANK you. Jesus Christ there are some dramatic people up in here. Everything I’ve read indicates they are extremely similar. Just because Bernie endorsed Ellison doesn’t make Perez Satan incarnate. I quite like Sanders, but he does inspire some rabid followers...

Who’s “we” there Bernie? You got a mouse in your pocket. Or did you forget you aren’t a Democrat again and that most of the party doesn’t jump at your command.

Meanwhile, back in the world that actually exists, Perez will make a good DNC chair, just like Ellison would have., for a party that had a setback in 2016 but is hardly reduced to ashes.

I look forward to the gnashing of teeth and stomping of feet and spite voting to follow. Surprise: the Liberal Purity Test is alive and well!

Perez wasn’t my first choice, but his strategy for the party seems sound, and he seems like a competent person. I have every confidence in him, and, honestly,my own candidate didn’t have a shot given the final vote counts. Besides, the conduct of Ellison’s supporters left me concerned at what his win might have…

I think this article will bring out every single man on this site, to say the least. And probably a solid amount from Deadspin. lol

I’d add, don’t fuck a Republican guy, ladies and your chances of getting off will be incrementally greater*

Over/under on number of comments in this thread being men humblebragging about how much they make their ladies orgasm and expressing disbelief that other men don’t?

Even if we assume that Pence really would pass horrific legislation that 45 wouldn’t, the fact is that the current state of things is blatantly unconstitutional. We can’t just accept that because we *might* be preventing unfair laws and federal changes. Not to mention, it’s entirely possible that impeachment…

THANK YOU. This thread was driving me crazy when everyone was throwing around credit when they meant deduction. A credit would actually be helpful; the Trump plan just helps people who can already afford childcare.

It depends if you’ve done taxes yourself and how familiar you are with how those around you do taxes. Low-income people don’t itemize their taxes because they don’t have a lot in the way of assets or expenses related to work. As others pointed out, you have to have the money upfront in order to make it back on your…

The problem is that they are proposing a child-care tax deduction rather than a child-care tax credit. A tax credit could, at least in principle, benefit everyone, but tax deductions only benefit those who itemize deductions rather than taking the standard deduction. Tax deductions disproportionately benefit…

Yeah, the thinking was that Trump is relatively moderate, but that’s not at all what’s happening.
