In similar news, some prisons are going exclusively to video calls rather than visitation. So that people’s families are in the same building with them, but have to communicate through a monitor when they may be only a few rooms apart. And of course, the companies providing the video calls are doing so at a profit.

I hadn’t considered any possible mental health issues with Nunes. My inclination is just to say that the whole damn house of cards is falling down around them. Nunes has been found to have financial ties to Russia (it’s a somewhat oblique connection, but not really to be ignored given the circumstances). Then he went…

Thank you!

Definitely. Because a company needs to serve its shareholders. A government needs to serve its voiceless and underrepresented. We can assign dollar values to this, but they will never work for the voiceless and underrepresented.

But, but, shafting contractors? Is that not the ‘Merrican way? Does that not make you a shrewd and keen businessman?

The office moreover will seek solutions for opioid abuse and may even determine the privatization of certain government functions.

Jesus H. Fucking Christ. When will we learn that business ideals (i.e. you vs. me) will never work in human endeavors? This is a gross and tawdry and hurtful experiment.

I imagine it’s anyone whose view doesn’t satisfy his. Could be a woman (double points). Black woman(triple points). Black man (one point, but negative if you find a narrative to support shooting him).

Tell me. I’m here with you.

Can we get the Feats of Strength involved, but without guns? I believe that I, a 120 lb woman, almost 40, who runs 8 miles 5 times a week, could beat the ever loving shit out of your average 300lb mountain dew, big gulp, sitting-on-your-ass-rubbing-guns-like-scrotums average Joe.

Some parents have asked if we go to church and then cancel playdates after we respond no. My daughter actually laughs about it. But their kid will be inundated by this. I feel terrible for him.

Feel better, boo!

Right?! Mr. Tristesse was a contractor for many years. It’s written into your code that you never return to people who don’t pay. And that you warn others about those clients. Oof.

FUUUUUUCK no. It would have to be somewhere without internet connection or cell coverage, which incidentally would likely also decrease Weiner’s chances of cheating. But one of them would have to home school, and dude. I just don’t know. Homeschooling is where I draw the line. I adore my daughter, but having zero…

I kinda hope they do. This is neither a kind or logical thought. Whoops.

This is true. But I’m even angry at NPR these days. They will not call our dear colostomy bag of a leader out in any specific terms. It’s infuriating.

Hopefully she’ll get a bit self aware and get out of it. It always amazes me the totality of what is obvious to outsiders and completely invisible to the people involved.

So goes the line of thought - if you can call it that.

I’m five years out now. Hallelujah!

Thank gawd you made it out! He clearly thought it would have been an honor for you to be ‘his’ if he so deemed. Ugh. Shudder.
