I think Alito was able to hide his horribleness behind the much louder horribleness that was Scalia and Thomas. But then Scalia died and Alito got to step into the limelight as the other terrible justice.

It’s gross and dumb and what happens or doesn’t happen in that room because of the people that Americans choose to send to Washington doesn’t really change that?

I was gonna say, expelling the kid is bullshit, but that’s private schools for ya.

The differnece between public and private schools is that at private schools, parents are customers. As private businesses, these schools can choose their clientele. It sucks for the kid, but his mom is no longer a customer. It is what it is.

It’s been said a million times before: freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

Sounds more like Jerry O’Connell trying to find ways to deflect from the fact that the fact that his wife cheated on her ex and it’s not just a rumor anymore. People cheat. Women too. It happens. And it was years ago.

There are some people on the internet who whine every single time Aniston opens her mouth. And they have been whining about her for 20 years. See Jezebel, Celebitchy and Lainey Gossip. They spent years whining that she never talked about politics. Now they whine when she talks about anything political. You really need…

“I will pay lip-service to the concept that everyone has the right to an attorney, but give the side-eye to any attorney that adheres to that  principal in a way that is actually meaningful.”

“Yes, I understand the accused have a right to an attorney, and she did her job.”

I moved from MA to TX. The politics are indeed absolutely horrifying and inhumane. I am scared to live here, but also scared to leave. Why would I be scared to flee such a dystopian mega church conglomerate?

If you are in danger or just want a sane life, flee the Confederacy.

Pajiba, Lainey, and the Mary Sue are all good.

Funny how that “historical analog” works against them when it comes to abortion, which was part of the common law until a fanatical physician started an AMA campaign to criminalize it in 1859. Apparently “originalism” only applies to anything after 1860 - uh, unless it applies to guns.

Abortion and Supreme Court Appointments.

Every Democrat should run on abortion.

I’ve long thought they basically invent the road in front of themselves while pretending it was always there.

So much of our government is based on gentlemen’s agreements that it’s surprising it’s taken them this long to realize nothing is actually compelling them to act like gentlemen.

Elton John is still perfectly buddy buddy with Kevin Spacey, by the way.

Great news. Rokita managed to be such a gigantic asshole in a story involving literal child rape that his will be the name remembered from all of this.

Hard to think of much more American than someone facing a censure vote for coming out strongly against slaughtering children and other innocent people.
