I’m just saying, this kind of thing never happens at a steakhouse.

“We are refunding their tickets and providing compensation as a goodwill gesture. We are also working with our employees to prevent this from happening again.”

So faced with airline safety recommendations or another thousand bucks, the flight attendants chose the thousand bucks.

permit to protest

I am Black, my football-obsessed husband is Black, and our kids are Black. I owe Kaepernick a lot. His protest started some heavy but necessary conversations in our house about our place in this country.

It’s funny because all of the owners would surely say that they don’t want cops killing unarmed black men, women and children, but they also don’t want a player to stand up against it.

May I add:

I like that myself. The whole history of the formation of the nation was definitely fraught with slavery, and it seemed a large part were on both sides. I do wonder which side won in drafting the various founding documents, and if they envisioned the future or if the language used was just the most benign version…

How about the Natives and Mexicans too?

I remember when Bloomberg was rolling out his Big Gulp tax and how sooo many white liberals where on board with this because “health”. When I heard (in a podcast, I believe) someone bring up that frappaccinos are worse than soda and why just target Big Gulps, the amount of twisting and turning to justify not taking…

When I think of all the men and women who have died for our independence, laughter does not come to mind.

The NYT did this dumbass writeup about what Independence Day meant to people across America (lol ok). I’m not going to link to it because it’ll just piss everyone off for the rest of the day. I’m beyond people equating patriotism with the military and more than beyond people refusing to see the parallels between…

Similarly, I remember listening to a bunch of libertarian women publicly wish that they could go back to 1776 because it was a “freer” time. For who? Ironically, if these women got their wish, they’d go back to being property with no rights, no right to vote, no right to own a gun, no access to education, no financial…

I think it’s more appropriate to provide a reason for your gap in employment on the application or cover letter rather than list it as a professional job on your resume. You don’t have to go into detail or reveal who you were caring for. I think a simple “Left the workforce to care for ill family member full time” is…

Here’s hoping that these garbage people realize that you pushed a human being out of yourself and then wanted to bond with it, nurse it, and try to give it a good start in life. Some people call it compassion or empathy. If you got cancer and had to take some time off to do a few rounds of chemo and vomit 15 times a…

I don’t know whether to be thrilled that he is taking responsibility or facing the consequences of being a criminal (not just a creep) - or to wonder what even more horrible, repugnant piece of information has yet to emerge for which they are trying to preemptively control damage.

Obama also met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in after the speech to discuss the future relationship between the U.S. and Asia.

What pisses me off most about President Dipshit inserting himself in this story is that per his proposed healthcare reform, the children suffering like that here at home would be left to die while their parents are saddled with a copious amount of medical debt.

Let’s see, the head of the EPA doesn’t believe in protecting the environment, the head of the Department of Education doesn’t believe in public schools, the head of DoJ’s Civil Rights division doesn’t believe in civil rights.... yep, that’s the Cheetolini administration.

His presidency has created this new deal-breaker
