“You know Fox and the like heard the first part and ran with it, and reported on none of the second part.”

YESSSSSSS. I’m so fucking enraged at Donna Brazile for this. Look, if the Republicans can stand with goddamned Roy Moore because of “hey, it’s family” then can we just get our shit together for like a hot minute until we get some races under our belt.

The GOP tax bill contains a provision aimed at grad school tuition waivers, to treat them as taxable income. So if you get a stipend of $20,000 and your tuition waiver is for $50,000, you would get taxed as though you’re making $70,000. Which would probably at least quadruple your tax burden.

BTW- I voted in in Brooklyn today and voted against the Constitutional Convebtion that was on the ballot. I did some research and the “failing” (has more subscribers than ever, as does the WaPo) NY Times backed up my decision. I voted Dem all down the line because even the moderate Republicans are either impotent or…

As are most things Donald Trump, his math is bad. The whole fucking town is 400 people. The asshole shooter killed 26, effectively murdering 7% of the population. There were never hundreds to save.

That mental health excuse would carry a lot more weight if the people using it weren’t actively ripping apart the healthcare safety net the mentally ill depend upon.

Of course, the unsaid postscript to the mental health excuse is “...and we’re not going to bother tackling that one, either.”

According to one poll, the Democratic Party is very unpopular right now

Proud to say I voted straight Democrat ticket in Virginia today; hope enough others did as well to make Northam our next governor.

I fucking hate the “Mental Health” excuse shit. Not only is it demeaning to people who do actually suffer mental health problems and aren’t just domestic abuser thugs but they always go “every country has the problem”.

One thing that I don’t think gets enough attention is how much this tax plan will fuck over graduate students

But he has admitted to making movesand his attraction to her while she was underage. And may-December romance is different than “this person used to be my parent.” And another one of his children has accused him of molestation. Marrying your abused doesn’t mean you weren’t abused/manipulated at a young age.

This is the judgement in the Farrow - Allen custody case. From it:

Yeah I remember it tied up in the conversation around Bowie’s death. Like he was involved with Page’s ex. I can’t find it now but it’s weird. I’m really glad they reformed the laws around that.

It does make it legal depending on the country and state. Basically age of consent is a sliding scale in some places, without parental consent it’s one age and with parental consent it’s another. That’s how you had legal marriages in the states up to the sixties or seventies with people who were 13 and 14 years old. A…

I think a big difference between Page and many of the accused is Page sought parental consent with many of his younger partners. Still super icky but legal.

Good catch. I had to listen to it twice before I realized it was “The Ocean”.

Yeah, I thought that too, like the guy was good enough to take her even though she’s been “used.”

That’s what I thought of too, I read it as she’s not a virgin but he loves her like she is. Which is ew.
