everywhere I’ve worked basically says that at some point, it’s just not worth it to try and recover merchandise

That explains the Gertrude Stein quote. That should have been my first clue to read more carefully. 

I completely read the entire Mueller Report

It’s a puzzler. On the one hand, you have people behaving with class, grace, and more courage that most people will ever find or need, and on the other, you’ve got MAGA-addled idiots who are frightened of brown children, the phrase “happy holidays,” and Medicare For All. There must be another definition of “snowflake”…

Yeah, I hate certain public officials and wish all kinds of misfortune on them, but I don’t ever even suggest something more direct, nor do I star posts that do. That’s just stupid. In fact, even in this post I’m talking around it so it can’t get misconstrued.

As a cop, he surely routinely exceeds the speed limit. So yeah, an extra five minutes in the cruiser each day. 

Well, the Louvre and the Guggenheim aren’t part of the most corrupt presidential administration in American history, so they probably have some standards. 

We all know that -- but fucking reporters aren’t supposed to blindly accept it. 

Starred because it’s the absolute fucking truth.

I applaud your stance. It’s also prudent, since working at a charter school isn’t necessarily a smart option economically. The ones that have proliferated in Florida are disasters:

I’m still waiting for a reporter to ask for an explanation of “many people” just once. “Many people say ...” and nobody asks who the people are, how many of them there are, or how Agent Orange actually heard about what they were saying.

And I’m here for it. Carry on.

This. Power and control are what motivates these people. It’s not money, it’s being able to wake up and demand things and force other people to obey. If he lost that, he’d probably die shortly thereafter. Which would be good.

Needs more stars. 

It’s also a marketing ploy. Sales at Trump properties have plummeted. Trump’s making personal appearances to try to drum up business, since he doesn’t actually do anything all day as president. Same thing he tried to do in Scotland. He’s hoping MAGAs will start buying up this crap. Joke’s on him, though, because the…

That would take too long and he’d forget. I’m sure he’s happy just grabbing women.

Yes, it is. Presenting a unified front is the very least we can expect of the Democratic party. Seriously. If you want to argue with each other, that’s fine. You even have a tax-funded place to do exactly that! But don’t do it in public and create friction that the Achomlished Ass can exploit. This whole shitstorm…

I wish someone would tell the Hamberdler this. Please, someone tell him. 

I grew up evangelical, too. What broke the programming for me was actually reading the Bible. It really doesn’t hang together very well, and once you start looking at the cracks the whole thing just starts seeming ... flimsy. That provided me with a immediate suspicion of anyone who used religion to sell anything,…
