Women get abused and humiliated by violent men and never tell anyone because they feel that no one will believe them. Conroy lied about being abused and humiliated by a violent man because he knew everyone would believe him.

He was always a bigoted, anti-semitic asshole, he was just better at hiding it. People just don’t suddenly become that way, they just get more comfortable letting their views known.

We typically don’t recognize forms of “liberty” that lead directly to the infringement of other established liberties. We make exceptions to account for these cases. Repealing the 2nd amendment allows us to impose reasonable regulations on firearms that are currently rendered impossible due to its existence.

right?

I don’t think it has anything to do with money, it’s all taste.

They look like Draco Malfoy’s goons.

The fact that these russia loving, humanity hating, classless, cultureless, chinless, dickless, spineless, Garland Merrick blocking, scheming, semi-sentient, greedy blobs of shit with horrible HORRIBLE fitting skin suits have the gall to call anyone else in the entirety of Democracy obstructionist fills me with so…

Sorry, that caused more questions actually.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I can relate. On way to work today my shoe became untied. I faced the uncertain fear of stopping to tie it and risk being run over or push on. I decided to press on in constant fear of possibly tripping. Barely made it.

See, I was wondering if Box of Butterflies is a reference to where she was Touched by an Angel.

Box of Butterflies. Go fuck yourself.

Unions are democracy in action in the workplace. Any Democrat who is anti-union is not a progressive and does not belong in an opposition party to the corporate power that is destroying this country. Shame on the DCCC for supporting an actual union buster. That should raise as much disgust as supporting a Klan member.

“Text chain migration must end.” —Donald J. Trump, probably

My parents are retired and have me on a chain message that they use all the time. I’ll be asleep at 10:30 at night and then they’ll start texting, and I’m like, nooooo! I have to be up in six hours!!! Group texts are the worst.

Yeah, Something Something Christian Academy. Lots of them I’m sure in her neck of the woods.
