Yes

When was the last time you heard the church make any sort of public statement, let a lone a condemnation, about married folks not fucking if they aren’t trying to make a baby?  How many bills has the church sponsored trying to disenfranchise hetero couples who bone for fun?  GTFO with that false equivalence BS.

You started in City A where your bag was gate checked.  Landed in City B intending to connect to City C.  Your flight to City C was cancelled and you had to spend the night in City B without your luggage?  So they either kept your bag overnight at the airport or sent it on to City C?  That doesn’t sound plausible.

There’s a lot wrong with Uber/Lyft’s business models, but this isn’t one of them.  Some people just don’t enjoy small talk.  Doesn’t make them rich, assholes - it just means that they may be an introvert/having a bad day/on their way to something stressful and they’d like to concentrate/wanting to read a book/just

What would you have proposed?  Simply adding additional non-tolled lanes?

Michael: A dirty Sanchez or the dirtiest Sanchez?

Shade or no shade?

By all means continue the argument on the terms that Trump has defined it.

This.  So much of this.  I’m absolutely dumbfounded that so many folks are falling for Trump’s gaslighting that they are starting to tear into one of the few potential bright spots on the left for retaking the White House.

Exactly only apparently now we’ve instituted some sort of new baroque purity test without informing Warren whereby if you cannot refute a false claim by both stating the truth and at the same time altering the past to become the platonic ideal of all progressive politics at all times and for all people then you are

If you’re pissed off by this or sympathize with those who are, congratulations on being part of the problem and enjoy a 2020 Trump victory.

Whatever your lived experience is, you are clearly projecting it onto Warren:

I am 100% convinced that a John Cena / Dwayne Johnson ticket would both beat Trump in 2020 and be an objectively less Mountain Dew Camacho-like administration than the current one.

That’s not the only aggressively dumb thing the Braves have done recently. How about hosting a fundraiser for one of the gubernatorial candidates in what is likely to be a very tight race:

So how are they getting away with Alaska plates?

I took this recently (a couple months before the Philly incident). If anyone deserves to be arrested and forcibly hauled out of a Starbucks, it’s this guy who took over an entire table at our local Starbucks with not just his laptop, but a second GOTTAM monitor! Yes, he had a coffee in front of him, but there is no

Agree completely with your assertion that in many/most cases the working poor (or even just poor) are faced with choosing the least bad option and have to demonstrate a remarkable level of ingenuity to just tread water. Assuming the terms of obtaining this financial literacy aren’t onerous, I think the response to

This is a not unreasonable critique of the proposal.

This seems a silly hill for you to stake your claim on. It’s a well researched and established fact that people below or near the poverty level have, understandably, much lower financial literacy rates. Is that THE reason they are poor? Of course not and no one is suggesting it is. Is it a likely contributor to them

I am amused to an irrational level by this cartoon. So much so that I went and found my burner key. Literal tears. Thank you!
