What were they going to do? He lied, to Congress, under oath, on tape, about a really grave matter, when the intelligence community already had proof of those contacts. The lack of wiggling here has everything to do with the lack of wiggle room and nothing to do with principles or GOP willingness to throw cabinet…

Ya I’m not buying this “aw shucks” routine denying that he lied knowingly; there needs to be an independent investigation on Russia and Trump, and also on his perjury here; he would have known about the Russian interference as a member of Congress before he spoke to this Kislyak dude, since they were briefed in…

“When Shillingslaw said the player made the request at a salon and spa while getting a massage, Coach Briles wrote, “Not quite as bad.”

“stealth Shariah” lol.

I think a great deal of the population already interprets “religious freedom” as code for christians being able to discriminate against various minorities, not as the principles of secularism and equal respect for minority faiths the founders clearly intended.

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…

Thanks- that’s a great report from TRMS.

Okay, so I don’y really get this; Trump’s administration is under investigation for its ties to Russia, and specifically 1) financial ties (hiding/laundering money) with Trump’s business and 2) over possible collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives on election interference. So he selects Tillerson for…

Wow, this sounds like she’s (I’m assuming this was dictated by the head bitch) talking to a bunch of her brainwashed, terrified-stupid cult members. I guess when one runs a cult, one forgets what one sounds like to normals with normal, adult comprehension and critical thinking skills. These are the words of a bully…

Perfect summary/gif

Atwood isn’t a household name? I think that depends on your household.

It’s exactly like that. I’ve worked for a long time with sexual assault victims, and I find it kind of rich that all these people are suddenly very vaguely interested in sexual violence in Europe. Gee, what’s that about?

When I lost my cellphone a few years ago (without a back-up phone list: lesson learned) Most of the numbers I knew from heart were grade school and high school friends I’d dialed on the rotary; you can’t help memorizing numbers you dial on a rotary. I managed to track down every far-flung friend by calling their…

Remember that faint ring a phone would make when you hung up really hard?

Insane.

I wish I still had them. My dad threw them in the trash in a huff one day when I was away at school, because he was trying to navigate some government phone tree, and couldn’t “press 1" for whatever. I was so pissed. Those things are worth a few hundred dollars now, and they’re certainly not making them anymore. We…

Good God. I literally shuddered when I opened that picture. Could he be any fucking creepier?

I always wanted one like that! It’s like a feminine version of the ones we had- lighter and more curvilinear. I can’t find a picture of the style we had with the fancy fittings, but they were boxier and more squat, like this one:

I’m not even sure how you’d explain it- everything now is cheap and rounded and flimsy and plastic and softer than the human scull...

They’ve used both, and since that name is actually more logical/less on-the-nose racist, sure!
