Parkinson’s law of triviality is C. Northcote Parkinson’s 1957 argument that members of an organisation give disproportionate weight to trivial issues.^[1] He provides the example of a fictional committee whose job was to approve the plans for a nuclear power plant spending the majority of its time on discussions about…

ahem, i think it was six pages of the bill, but your point stands ;)

ALSO THE 12 POOR PEOPLE WHO WIN THE LOTTERY EACH YEAR NEED TO GET THE FUCK OFF MEDICAID ASAP AND ALSO PAY BACK MONEY

The last medical statement I got was for $500 for one procedure. As long as I don’t need any other medical care for the next two years, his analogy totally works.

No, no he is not. Sessions is a bigot, without principle. There are other conservatives who would do much less damage, because even if they would (usually) obey Trump, their font of racism would not run as deeply. The man has no business being attorney general.

It seems to me like a host like Fallon should just stay away from political guests.

Well Hyde...I guess you weren’t the cool one.

I’m sure if we let the students decide, they would quickly figure out a decent solution. The adults want to perpetuate hate.

LOL. Shut the fuck up.

There is no polite way to say this.

Even a high schooler... one that’s living with a parent covering room and board, or that’s supporting their parent’s room and board? Or is there no qualifier on that at all?

Yeah, okay John Wilson, Jr. This is really a surprising outcome.

When I was in high school I couldn’t save up 500 dollars.

You’re telling me a kid who has spent the majority of their lives in America but was brought here at a young age should be forced to get a job before they turn 18 if they want to stay in this country? You see this as a reasonable requirement for DACA minors…

I am so impressed with his poise and confidence, which I did not have when I was 17, even without having all the additional harassment he is going through. I appreciate that he is carrying on, both so he can do what he wants to do and to show how ridiculous the “gender on your birth certificate” standard is. Kind of…

What an emotionally well-developed kid! I’m more than twice his age and I don’t think I’d be as casually nonchalant if I faced similar adversity. Good for him.

So he’s a girl who must wrestle other girls, but he shouldn’t wrestle girls. Bigots be confusing.
