Is this problem getting worse? Or are we just paying more attention? I really can’t tell. Do the police keep data on bogus calls?

To be fair to the ‘may I speak to your manager’ types, sometimes it requires a manager to successfully order a water heater to be delivered to your house at a Home Depot customer service desk. That task took 25 minutes. I had the damn part number in hand. It required three fields to be filled in a computer.

Oh yeah? Well, have you ever seen them both in the same room at the same time?

This isn’t a case of a sudden uptick. I’m fairly confident it’s always been like this except now it’s entered the public consciousness, thus it’s finally being reported on as a crap thing to do.

For all you guys that hate America and want to change everything.......He is innocent because he has not been proven guilty on a court of law.

The thing is though that the charges were dropped. I’m not saying this means he is innocent, but he was also never convicted. Should people who have simply been charged with a crime be unemployable for the rest of their lives?

Whether or not he did it, this is not the right move. Just say I didn’t do it and move on. Don’t play the poor me card because it’s not going to get people on your side.

Justice was only served when he was sentenced to 3-8 years in Detroit.

Just to be clear, the underlying, but unstated, assumption of these articles on Patricia is that an allegation made and recanted in 1996 would be an appropriate reason to bar that person from employment and/or terminate him in 2018?

What’s important here is what happened 22 years ago is what didn’t happened.

Go bitch about it with your fellow victims on the Intellectual Dark Web, you piece of shit

This. I’m honestly surprised by how many people can’t seem to get their heads around the idea that people’s (particularly white people’s!) politics can change enormously over the course of 20 years even without mental illness being present. I know people have strong attachments to fictional characters and get…

I don’t believe it is that far-fetched for anyone to have changed their beliefs after how many years and after 9/11. People change. Stuff happens that makes the world a scarier place and people’s viewpoints and beliefs evolve. Not always for the better, obviously. But it would be weirder if this many years later she…

The idea that Trump supporters were motivated by economics is false. First, Trump supporters are wealthier on average than Americans in general. Second, voters who ranked the economy as their number one concern mostly voted for Clinton (by a narrow margin, but still).

Even though I refuse to watch the reboot, I did watch her on Jimmy Fallon recently. I don’t know about her particular antics irl, but she said the reason she voted for Trump was basically to shake things up. She felt, like I have heard others say, that our country needed a huge change and it wouldn’t happen if Hillary…

“I believe the original character would’ve said, ‘Who cares [about having Muslim neighbors]?’ And now she’s saying she does care.”

Exactly.

Look, if you really want to drain the swamp, sometimes you have to give a prominent cabinet role to the wife of the Senate Majority Leader and let her exploit the office for her own personal gain.
