If we’re talking about crimes being committed in banks, shouldn’t they be profiling rich white guys?

Someone’s been watching 24 reruns.

The two ‘welfare’ type programs with the highest levels of fraud in the US are Medicaid (~10% fraud) and the EITC (~24% fraud according to treasury). Medicaid fraud is typically committed by the provider or as in this case by under reporting income. The EITC is defrauded by people not declaring their full incomes.

All of two minutes lol

I could actually be okay with the “we collected more than $200, but still won’t go to jail” part if these people were made into extremely public national definitions of welfare fraud.

At 14, you know better.

Specifically, Christian religious intolerance. The moment a Muslim baker declines to make a burning cross-shaped cake for the Klan potluck is the moment the Trump administration says the guy in the white hood is being oppressed

Nah. She knows he has a pregnant wife. And she chose to keep carrying on with him. Anything LW sends to her isn’t going to be received by an empathetic and kind person, mark it.

“As far as I know nobody can photosythesize their nutrients and excrete their waste in a polite raspberry scented mist.”

I bet there is (or will be) a little white child somewhere named Beckys and pronounced BECK-is.

I’m waiting for the shitshow as well. I read both there and here, but comment more there just because my perspective as a white woman isn’t needed here. But Jez is shitty in a lot of ways, so I’m waiting for the whitewalkers to get here.

Mine never did. They are wonderful adult human beings today. It is possible to live a fulfilled, productive life without ever playing any sport ever.

It’s called “Relationship Broken? Add More People!”, and it refers specifically to the kind of person who thinks that polyamory is a solution to…

Right?! This has been the theme of men making this suggestion since the dawn of time.

Sheesh. Looks like proper kerning died, too.

Yeah, I mean, I doubt anyone would be traumatically offended by these things, especially if you didn’t know. But it’s not hard to learn a little bit about a local culture and do as the locals do either.

What I’ve found in my travels and moving to another country is that you’re going to mess up and be rude no matter how many rules you study beforehand... and that you’ll generally be forgiven if your general attitude is one of, “I know I’m a stupid foreigner. Please forgive me for what I don’t know and teach me.”

I saw her on CNN yesterday,and she said they have a friend who is having a serious health problem and she’s been using her “15 minutes” to hilight the fund-raiser they are having to raise money to help pay his medical bills.

Louise has kind of a Real Housewife face.
