That’s bullshit.

He told angry whites the things they wanted to hear.

In the US? Because the bible literally says you can beat your kids, and I’m not sure the US will ever get to a point where we say, “no, even though your religious document says you can do ___, you still can’t do ___” to any of the Christian religions, in particular.

As long as Rubio continues to think containment and isolation are the right tack with Cuba, he’s literally worthless for anything. Nobody with a brain in their head thinks the US continuing sanctions/embargoes benefits the Cuban people or the US.

What the hell does “renewing your mortgage” mean?

I bet there are so many people who are mortified by their past participation in Anonymous. It never materialized the influence and power it claimed to have.

I was just talking to a colleague who didn’t vote for president but generally thought Trump would be best for “shaking things up” and “cutting regulations that are strangling small businesses”.

Right. Setting aside the dichotomy of hit vs spank, the truth of the matter is that it’s violence as a parenting tool. When you look at it through that lens, a light swat on the butt isn’t any different than a slap across the face or a punch to the gut. Violence is about instilling fear and establishing physical…

The Happiest Toddler on the Block is great too. Not so much about discipline, but the things you can do leading up to the point where discipline might be necessary, to prevent the necessity.

Right but legality doesn’t change the definition of hitting. Striking another person—even if legal, even if you morally find it to be ok, even if widely practiced, even if societally normalized—it’s still hitting.

It might be permissible hitting, in your view, but spanking is definitely hitting.

Well, as I say, perception is reality. All you have is yours, and all I have is mine.

Exactly, seems fake.

And literally the dumbest criteria for buying a vehicle. Cars by their nature require economies of scale to ever reach production lines.

There’s no way this is anything more than a fantasy shopping exercise.

Perception is reality—Bernie looks significantly older than Trump.

Well certainly not, as long as people keep beating that fucking drum.

That’s below the federal minimum wage though, how do they get around that?

When I voted for Bernie in my state’s primary, I had no idea how much I would come to regret that choice. The way he continued his campaign well past viability at the expense of the party and to appease his supporters was downright shameful.
