seriously, this is like every public transit pet peeve of mine rolled up into one package. Eating on the train? Loudly screaming/woo-hoo-ing? Littering your piñata confetti and silly string all over? Like, you’re not the only person on the planet and this shit is not cute, it’s hella inconsiderate.

Seems like they could have just ridden the subway to someone’s apartment and done the same thing.

“This is not the time to run, hide or be silenced”, says the person deleting their Facebook group. This person, who advertised a “complete” immersion in everyone you need to know in order to “optimize” a freebirth, had better have good liability insurance.

Things can go badly pretty quickly during a birth. The best thing would be to give birth at a hospital that accommodates midwives, so that people could have the option of both. I wouldn’t do a home birth because I need to have someone suable if something goes wrong. And if I happen to need a blood transfusion or other…

Honestly, I’m more disgusted that MsCaskill and Heitenkamp lost.  You shouldn’t lose for doing the right thing.  And especially with Heitenkamp, there was some pretty evil fuckery.

For those who can’t understand how people could possible rationalize letting Cruz stay in office, look no further than an article in which the author flat-out doesn’t believe the person who says point-blank that they aren’t running for president.

So....in the past couple weeks we’ve had:

Well, it’s because the Obama’s are black.

Someone should try joyless blogger next.

My point is there have been numerous persons of color who’ve committed far less serious crimes or no crime at all; and have been killed by the police. But do go on...

Former President Doesn’t Get It; Wet Behind The Ears Child Blogger Gets Everything

There is no putting it behind her. Ever. Just like the Obama birther nonsense. They’ll keep hammering at it forever because that’s all they have, but also because it works.

So why did the Cherokee Nation decide to hand Trump a box of rocks to bash Warren with? What good did it do in the current situation? We know that Warren was being pressed as lying about any connection at all and the Nation took the truth that she wasn’t and weighed in.

Seriously, fuck everyone for getting on Warren for defending herself. How about going after the shitty GOP for allowing this shit to continue?

The best part is the call to her mother.  I have so many questions about that phone call, but I will just say that if my daughter called me the day after her honeymoon and told me that her new husband just came home with 100 cans of Chunky Soup I’d call the police.

he went off to the store and came home by himself

I’m not gonna comment on the validity of the argument. I’m an incredibly white first generation American of European descent, and that just won’t end well.

Exactly. She’s not claiming or expecting anything except to prove an asshole wrong. It’s really past time that Democrats/Progressives/Liberals stop being so nice and get our hands dirty and quit letting the lies and the craziness coming out of Republican mouths stand like it’s normal and we have to be “above the fray”…

does the Splinter staff wake up every morning and think, “What can I do today to diminish leftist voter enthusiasm in the runup to this, the last election standing between what’s left of American democracy and outright fascism?”?

This is terrible and wrong. There is no nice spin to it. It’s just bad.

Warren NEVER claimed to be a formal member of any tribe, just that family lore had it that she was descended from Native Americans. She was mocked and vilified for this. But that lore now has been very strongly buttressed by DNA testing.

She isn’t…
