Physically, Manafort never really went anywhere: He owns an apartment in Trump Tower.

I can’t believe these buffoons managed to get that shitstain elected. Idiots, top to bottom.

PBS’s children’s programming was actually created with the intent of serving households where the children could not attend things like daycare or pre-K. That was the POINT of it. It was designed to serve the households that were most at risk of not getting sufficient educational material. If you’re a single mom or a

What if the coal miner and the single mom don’t want to subsidize a projected $100 million in travel costs for the President to play golf at Mar-A-Lago?

“When you start looking at places that we reduce spending, one of the questions we asked was can we really continue to ask a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for these programs? The answer was no. We can ask them to pay for defense, and we will, but we can’t ask them to continue to pay for

I fucking hate him and every single person who put him in office.

Eartha Kitteh once saved my life! One of the pilot lights on the stove had gone out, and she woke me up by vomiting as the apartment filled with gas. We would both be 100% dead if it wasn’t for the fact that you can NEVER sleep through the sound of a cat vomiting.

I’m currently reading Jacob Middleton’s Spirits of an Industrial Age: Ghost Impersonation, Spring Heeled Jack and Victorian Society. It’s a long academic work and I wouldn’t recommend it as casual reading, but it makes a compelling case for the history of what folklorists call ostension. That refers to the

I imagine it actually made it much easier to manage a large cast of teen dancers if they did not have romantic interests in their dance partners. You can pair off girls and boys that “look good” together, make up a story line, and play up the fantasy relationship without worry of tension between them in real life.

I feel all sorts of sad for these closeted kids, of course, but I also love this story. It’s important to be able to look back on heteronormative institutions and see the queer reality beneath the surface. It helps to destroy the myth that things were “better” and “normal” [again, read: heteronormative] in the “good

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer in possession of a blank headline must be in want of a dead celebrity.

THANK you. Jesus Christ there are some dramatic people up in here. Everything I’ve read indicates they are extremely similar. Just because Bernie endorsed Ellison doesn’t make Perez Satan incarnate. I quite like Sanders, but he does inspire some rabid followers...

I literally had to read your comment several times to try to figure out that you WEREN’T just saying “god forbid we respect the DNC chair.” Because I mean...if you’ll literally leave the party because the guy you liked (which, let’s be honest, a lot of people were fired up about Bc a dude who doesn’t even call himself

You know, I try, but the wounded ego/guilt/sadness self-effacing whinge-fest about how SORRY they are and how they’re TRYING tends to make it not worth it. Or that’s my experience anyway.

But it’d be great if heterosexual men would talk to each other about this, so their girlfriends don’t have to keep writing orgasm Sparknotes.

I’d add, don’t fuck a Republican guy, ladies and your chances of getting off will be incrementally greater*

Over/under on number of comments in this thread being men humblebragging about how much they make their ladies orgasm and expressing disbelief that other men don’t?

I’m actually kind of hoping high profile Republicans go with the mental illness angle because then we can point out that they just passed legislation giving the mentally ill more guns.

Most of my family and friends in the U.S. (all Indian) are extremely educated professionals: a post-doc research scientist, many are E.R. doctors, surgeons, a former government advisor economist, etc. I wonder how many of them took those highly skilled jobs away from Trump supporters like this:
