To put it in the context and likely reality of this case, what if the kid didn’t know that even a small sip would kill him, but the officers did. You can’t, as a police officer, dare a kid to drink something you know will kill him and just assume he knows that it will kill him too and won’t do it.

Yeah. All on his own. With two armed adults telling him to do so. Not coerced at all.  

NO BUT THEM THAR MOOSLIMS IS ALL RAPEY AND EXPLODEY!!!!1!!!1!

Trudeau (who is just repackaged neoliberalism with light left tendencies) wrecked him. It was nice, kind of.

Baylor: 52 women allege being assaulted by football players? “We need to proceed with caution. In fact, let’s just pretend nothing happened. Remember, we have no obligation to make our campus safe for the students who pay to be here.”

It also means he got drunk once and cheated on his wife.

I admire Pence for coming up with this common sense solution to a very real problem.

I think the fact that none of these conservative male fuckwits have any women they think of as just friends speaks VOLUMES for their disdain for women as people. Because obviously for them, if a woman isn’t for fucking or marrying or knocking up, there’s just no reason to interact with her or care about her at all is…

This annoys me to no fucking end. Women already get left out of a ton of the “social” kind of gatherings that really do help your career (“Oh, all the ‘boys’ went to the bar with the boss after work? Nice.”), and in jobs like politics (where you are on the road, or working late, or out at meetings a lot) that can…
