He’s referencing the statistic that undocumented women are sexually assaulted at an alarmingly high-rate by the coyotes that traffic them. He’s taking that and using it as a weapon against undocumented immigrants. It’s so fucked up.

Haha! What took me 20 seconds warranted such a longwinded thoughtful response from you. You’re the real justice warrior here, I bow in awe.

Her sentence is harsher than that of the guy who killed someone and fled, or that woman who killed someone and fled, or the affluenza teen who killed FOUR people and fled. All Texas.

“I don’t think I’ll ever vote again. That’s being honest. I’ll never vote again.”

States have often balanced their budgets and funded other areas of government by slashing education funding and “borrowing” from teacher pension funds. Teachers aren’t responsible kicking the can; they’re the ones being kicked.

They have been kicking the can down the road. I’m a teacher in Kentucky, and I pay 13% of my check to the pension fund. The state, on the other hand, hasn’t been funding their portion. They’ve been borrowing from the pension fund for years and now want to blame teachers for the shortfall. . The legislature needs to

You fund the pension system by increasing revenue, such as raising taxes combined with employee contributions. Cutting the benefits for a drastically underpaid and underappreciated profession (who also happen to be women, no one ever discusses cutting cop, fireman or politician benefits) is not the way you balance

Until you realize that if she looked like a model there’d be a sizable contingent saying she got in only on her looks and doesn’t deserve to be there. It’s lose/lose with these people.

If you wanna be dense and take this whole shit literally, fine good take.

Samer is clearly calling out the hypocrisy of Mr. Travis defending actions that he (ostensibly) does not deem defensible enough to personally undertake.

Oh man, you’re about to hear from a bunch of people who totally have black friends.

Oh come on, you clearly think there’s one major step right before that one.

The Osteopathy school at MSU appears to be an entity separate from the School of Medicine. Which seems weird and duplicative to me, since MDs and DOs can practice interchangeably in the US. Makes one wonder how much of a loss it truly would be to MSU if they just shut the whole thing down.

An insult to catcher’s mitts. And probably hepatitis.

When people wonder why no one reports on men like Nassar, it’s because men like Strampel get to watch the videos of assaults. Abuse in institutions is institutionalized.

I’m beginning to think that there’s something not right about the Osteopathic Department at the MSU medical school. Bears looking into, at the least.  

Santorum is getting a lot of grief for advocating CPR, which isn’t very effective in shooting scenarios. His point is a bit different however. What he’s basically doing is trying to set up an argument between prevention and response. Santorum is arguing that there is nothing that we can do to prevent mass shootings

“‘Oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me.’”

What I read suggested that the bathing suit wasn’t the problem. Apparently, the event at which she took the bathing suit photo was the same event at which an NFL player was also seen.

It’s been a long time since I was in school, but I have a degree in political science, and I’m pretty sure “asking someone to pass a law” is how our legislature is actually supposed to work. Maybe Rick is too stupid to remember his time in the legislature, but individual citizens cannot actually draft, advance, and
