My only question is how watching SVU is an allowable inquiry, unless they’re asking how she learned to shut questions like that down.

That is also quite classy. Is just asking people to try not to be total assholes that tall an order?

What is this racist white even talking about?

This is a beautiful story to tell your child about how they came into the world.

With other things, I don’t know. But you’d be doing God’s work with the cilantro.

China is not an area of expertise, but my understanding of the pressures that could be applied are both difficult to navigate diplomatically and pose a significant risk to businesses based in the US because of the amount of reliance on Chinese manufacturing. Although China would be unlikely to leverage this power,…

Thank you for being open to learning!

This doesn’t really work with NK, though we’re still trying with economic sanctions. But they don’t have oil or resources more generally that require international relations for trade and can become a pressure point like it did for Iran. Kim Jong Un doesn’t care that his people starve to death. There’s very little…

This is more fair than Title IX, though, right? Maybe she’ll use Title IX to make sure some of the rifles are pink?

That is certainly informative, but what about how facts don’t count in this administration?

He doesn’t infrequently look that way when speaking, like he’s legitimately surprised how much he agrees with whatever happens to be coming out of his mouth.

It’s really amazing, how one can get to, “I’ll win her back with jokes about Nazis and drop in a gay slur!” from, “Oh crap, I hit reply all.”

Didn’t expect that, though. What a smorgasbord of awfulness and hate.

Repeal child labor laws; then Mississippi will really see a manufacturing boom!

Breathtaking incompetence is this administration’s fucking wheelhouse!

Mary was a 14 year old with real doubts about the whole idea, if I’m remembering correctly.
