numerically he wasn’t - ‘twas a supreme court maneuver.

Most of us still maintain the other Bush was never actually elected President.

Moments like this I realise I live in a very sheltered liberal bubble. Maybe it’s living in NYC but I don’t know a single person who got offended or felt threatened by Beyonce’s video. Also, who the hell are these people? The video and song are catchy and yeah the political elements are there but they’re pretty light…

Actually, *some* white people went into defense mode. Given that 249 million Americans identify as white I think the general consensus to the video was no one gave a flying fuck. Don’t believe twitter or the media as representing any one single race of people.

Fun fact: If you spend money like a crazy person you’ll go broke. Even if you’re a successful recording artist.

“He pushed the repeal of DADT through (thanks Clintons!)“

Not to detract from your general point, but this is a really bad understanding of the nature of presidencies. In 1992 Bill Clinton directly campaigned on totally ending the ban on gays in the military, along with a universal health care plan. When universal…

I really hope Obama is appointed as a Supreme Court Justice. That would be amazing!!!

You do know only one Clinton was president, right? There’s no need to say Clintons. They have the same last name. Everybody’s associating them anyway.

And for people who are too young, she faced a firestorm for having come out; people demanded she be fired, certain radio hosts called her “Ellen Degenerate” and considered themselves fiendishly clever, and she was basically shunned by craven networks who feared losing their audiences.

So I’m not a fan of Dr. Phil as a person, but I watch his show a lot because he has interesting guests and topics. This episode was heartbreaking, and the father was amazingly forgiving of the police and news for announcing Nicole’s body being found before telling him.

Please get your “They” right. The horrible Michigan governor used his power to circumvent local elections and put in place croney “Emergency Managers,” who had complete say over the city’s actions and infrastructure. The mayor of Flint’s only power is the bully pulpit. And that woman has been singing it loud and…

He doesn't just need to resign, he needs to be brought up on charges of extreme criminal negligence. This guy shrugged his shoulders while tens of thousands of people were poisoned.

This goes much higher up. She wasn’t the one who put emergency managers in place. Rick Snyder needs to be recalled since he doesn’t have the good graces to resign.

Actually, the main reason she was elected was because she was pushing to find out the truth about the state of the water. She’s spent her entire time in office trying to fix this — and being ignored.

They have already switched back to Detroit Water and Sewer which pulls from Lake Huron.

15 years ago my friends pranked me really hard that I won the DC shoes monthly giveaway by calling my house and acting like they were from DC. I was suckered really good and got laughed at for weeks. So I wrote DC an email telling them about this story and how I should win it for real and punk those guys right back. I…

I wonder if falling a lot during his career led to CTE and depression.

I’d say that “freedom” is probably at least a bit tongue-in-cheek. But you’re right of course. These things are awesome, but also quite unpleasant for people on the wrong end, who may have done nothing but been born in a shitty country.

They would be deployed after we achieved air supremacy and at altitudes well above MANPAD range.

I’m still fairly convinced that our biggest enemy isn’t Russia, China, or Iran, but the head-in-ass stupidity of the House, Senate, and all the committees over there. They’re certainly doing more damage to our education and infrastructure (or rather failing to maintain it) then our enemies could hope for.
