nuuuuuuuuu!

You don't know how Gun Free Zones work. They aren't a magical realm where guns stop working; but they are a place where if you see a gun then you can be sure it isn't supposed to be there and can react appropriately. Contrast this to places where people Open-Carry and you have to debate whether this person is a threat…

Jezebel floated the idea of discussing the charges when the trailer was released in April, and didn’t.

The right to be believed doesn’t dictate personal behavior. It’s a standard for police investigation and public reporting - the idea that any alleged rape is likely true and should be investigated and the victim supported. It doesn’t mean that a woman must believe the word of a stranger over that of her husband and…

My eyes keep coming back to that mustache/sideburn combo on the officer on the right. He’s the rookie, clearly, but the focus isn’t on him. It’s on the guy behind him, turned away from us, his veteran partner with the paunch. He’s affectionately called Paunchia della Polizia by the other officers, which he gamely…

Thank you, honey. It’s the first time I’ve had this much time dope-free in the two years since I started heroin. Methadone is a godsend.

He’s not expecting a response. He’s just using this forum to vent his spleen about Hillary being elected to lead the Democrats. And using the same old “Blame Hillary for Iraq” bullshit that the right wing uses. Fuck him.

Your first sentence has me crying laughing. So true.

YES

Agreed. Every speech has hit home that Clinton is a million times more qualified than Trump for the job. It’s frankly insulting that they are even in the same competition.

One commenter just asked me for a full citation to prove Clinton wants to overturn Citizens United. It took me two seconds to google and I replied with the link. But if I hadn’t, the person couldn’t have taken the two seconds to look it up themselves and would still be convinced Clinton didn’t say anything about it.

That’s why we need to work on getting a progressive congress elected as well!

I wonder if “flag pin” (I’m hesitent to correlate it 1 to 1 with “I love my country”) is a given for people who are willing to work within the court system.

Diversity does not mean you can never hire white people. It means you’re combing the field to represent a wide variety of candidates. Even Sam Bee’s Full Frontal, which is mentioned as a diverse writers room and Sam Bee has been upfront about their focus on diversity while hiring has FOUR white men writing for them.…

Yeah even though I CANNOT STAND the sympathetic “you go girl” type smiles I get from thin people in the gym, I will take that any day over the week over this kind of cruelty. I wish I could be invisible in public.

Can I say how happy it makes me that this is a diverse squad? It’s always good when my kid can watch gymnastics and see someone like her. She commented how Laurie is a gymnast (like my kid is) and they have the same kind of hair.

I was serious - I hadn’t associated the ‘totally fucked’ state with an improvement over ‘intentionally unaware’. Can’t get change until you can identify a problem. That’s a great point.

I just wanted to let you know, that if you don’t understand something, or have no background in why something is happening, you always have the option to say nothing about it and move right along with your day. I think that would benefit everyone.

THANK YOU.

I’m crying, too.
