Also divorce. Which was legalised in 1995.

I seriously didn’t know about any of this until Philomena. I guess it’s not so hard to believe women were treated like this but it is still incredibly disturbing.

But please remember that abortion is the true sin.

The Trump administration’s budget apparently proposes slashing the EPA’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by 97% (from $300 million to $10 million), so I think the answer is clearly that the Trump administration does not give a fuck.

It’s extremely relevant because it belies how fragile DACA is and how its very existence—and the rights of the 750,000 people who have it to stay in the country—relies entirely on the President.

Those aren’t directly cause by fracking. They are caused by injecting wastewater deep underground. Of course, that wastewater is a byproduct of drilling and fracking so it’s more of an indirect causation.

As Pareene alludes to, there are people (inside the media and out of it) for whom the flag draped coffin is a religious fetish object. American Holiness lives in that casket, and how dare you critique it.

Jesus christ. He is such an odious human being.

As long as you can get American soldiers killed, you will always have defenders, because there will always be people who think saying that American soldiers were sent somewhere to die for no good reason is more offensive than sending American soldiers somewhere to die for no good reason.

I refused to watch the speech, because obviously, but when I saw the headlines on NY1 this morning with the “press” pivoting to say he was “Presidential” and didn’t pee on any of the carpets, my reaction was, ‘here we go...’

Chris Cilizza is consistently and dangerously moronic. But “Donald Trump understood the applause for Carryn Owens was a moment. And he let it be.” is simply wrong.

Extremist eastern european/russian* loons. Because if you watched Maddow on Monday you would have seen as I did that it makes 0 fucking sense how carter page and paul manafort are included in this presidency at all. Also, how the commerce secretary didn’t get more pushback after all of his involvement with russian…

They don’t want to give their plans away because Muslims are just for practice since they’re an easy scapegoat in the current climate, then they come for everyone else.

This is the thing I’ve noticed about nearly ALL republicans and especially the Trump administration. Since his election all questions are treated as stupid and a waste of time. They shouldn’t have to answer anyone’s questions about antisemitism or Russia. You should just be happy they’re there at all.

Sebastian Gorka tried and failed to establish a right-wing political party of his own in Hungary. But since moving to the United States he and his wife have been much more successful establishing themselves as a joint political force.

It’s almost like the whole thing is just a part of a campaign to blame all of the country’s problems on mysterious, brown-skinned foreigners...

Isn’t Gorka the one who was photographed wearing a medal given to his father, that was originally a medal created for Nazi sympathisers in Hungary?
