Some people have that thing where cilantro literally tastes like soap. It sucks, and I really I wish I wasn’t one of them. Then there’s those that can’t handle anything spicy, thankfully not me but I have to watch what I serve certain relatives. I’m betting nobody at your Thanksgiving has these issues though.

Well who hasn’t, at some point in their life, fallen in love with Stockard Channing!

Garbage disposers are super rare outside of the US. In many parts of Canada, they are actually banned because they can reek havoc on sewage systems. Most places up here now have compost collection, alongside recycling and garbage.

Garbage disposals break. And eat your flatware. And turn eggshells plus water into concrete. After I left my childhood home I never had a garbage disposal and I have never missed it. 

Don’t forget crossing state lines to shoot protestors.

Yeah, but it’s not really a “luxury” appliance in the U.S. - the vast majority of homes (apartments, single-family homes, etc.) have refrigerators. I lived in NYC for a decade and even the tiniest loft apartments I saw had at least a mini-fridge that came with the unit.

For Republicans? Probably. A porn and video game junkie probably doesn't vote, and almost certainly doesn't travel cross country to commit treason (a crucial aspect of the GOP's strategy.) 

To me, he’s trying to make his base not feel guilty about what they’ve been doing for most of their life.

In public schools, anyway, you need to have an MLIS as well as an education degree and/or teaching credential to be a school librarian.  That does not mean that you don’t find parents working as volunteers, but they would not have authority over anything.

Indeed, but look who is paying for and organizing these moral panics that are being pushed on school boards. It’s manufactured and I am really starting to think that it goes far beyond racism. I think billionaires are using the racist scum bags in these communities like yours to get a foot in the door. If teaching…

Republicans are free to stop voting for folks like this as any time.  But they’re gonna keep doing it, aren’t they?

Fewer assaults happen in regular cabs, because cab companies actually know who their drivers are. Meanwhile, anybody who wants to can sign up & drive for Lyft or Uber.

Sorry, the kids should be with their mother and their father should clear up the mess with his Business Visa. Seems to me that the U.S. revoked his visa for a very good reason......but, his children shouldn’t suffer (by being away from their mother).

If the kids are in Sudan, Sudan can exercise jurisdiction over them and side with the father (which is apparently what happened). And Sudan isn’t a signatory to the Hague Convention treaty dealing with international child abduction, so it doesn’t have any treaty obligation to cooperate with Finland and return the kids.

But as they REVOKED HIS VISA, clearly she (presuming she’s correct & reported him) wasn’t lying. Again, making a false report might make the guy miserable, but the state department isn’t going to deport a rich white guy when they’ve got dirt poor Latinos to harass. And if I suspected my former spouse would leave the…

Exactly. It becomes complicated when parents live in other countries or states, because the 50/50 preference (which is fantastic), becomes a logistical nightmare.

It makes more sense to me that their father correct his visa issues so the kids can live on one continent AS HE WAS ORDERED TO DO.

I’m going to argue that IF she brought wrongdoing to the State Department’s attention, HE got his own visa revoked by acting illegally. See. A whistle blower isn’t the one who commits the crime. They are the ones who point out the crime. Like when I told my mom my brother ate the last Oreo, HE was the one in trouble…

But what about the citizenship issues? The kids are American citizens who aren't allowed to live in America. Granted, Monaco is LOVELY....

No the courts made the children exiles. And define most cases. Sounds like the court will need to intervene, again. And this time might wanna actually claim jurisdiction.
