Rebecca Johnson didn’t take her husband’s position, she was just running (I think).

So many sweet posts from others who’ve been pugged for life. And I forgot to show a picture of Phoebe! Here she is in 2000 and again in 2017.

Yuuuuup.

It’s about exposing the hypocrisy of repubs (and their supporters) who impeached Clinton over a consensual hummer and run for office on a platform of family values, using the law to disenfranchise people they consider to be “immoral”

Yep! This statement isn’t about optics; it’s about campaign finance law violations. They’re starting to get really nervous about the details, because they can see actual criminal charges in their future. They never cared about details before. Trump’s like, “Pay her off. I don’t care which checkbook, just pay her…

I have no idea what they wouldn’t forgive

You must be reeeeally confused. Because this story is not about hiring a prostitute.

It’s the “appeal to authority” logical fallacy, with a crispy Christian crust.

So, underrotating is not a specific point penalty; it’s a mandatory negative grade of execution on the jump. The jump’s base value gets factored by the average GOE for the final element score. Falling gets you a -3 GOE AND a 1-point deduction.

Which is even more bullshit. Patrick Chan scored 0.6 points higher on MUSIC INTERPRETATION. he scored higher in Composition and Performance, and NO ONE with a rational brain can say those marks make sense.

I love how his hair has gotten a little bigger every day. I can’t wait for full on beehive on the final day.

It’s aboot to get real

Scoring Mirai lower than the Russian was the real bullshit. You can’t have it both ways. Rippon scores lower cause he didn’t have a quad, okay, fine. but Mirai was the first American and like the third woman ever to land a triple axel at the Olympics and she scored lower. IT’S BULLSHIT.

It’s almost as if she’s getting paid to comment.

Oh gaaawd. She was definitely robbed as well. That backflip. Holy shit. My mother actually started hitting the floor with a couch cushion when she got penalized for that. Too athletic. Too powerful. Too muscular. Too not white. Fuckers.

God bless Plushenko. In a sport full of divas, he was the biggest. I miss him.

I agree figure skating has always been incredibly corrupt and is by no means perfect, or not corrupt, now. But the current system that fucked over Rippon was designed to make it less corrupt. Since his technical score was lower than the other skaters, it sort of makes sense/isn’t a McKayla Maroney-level rob, though if…

In Vancouver there was a gold without a quad from Lysacek and everyone flipped their lids. Especially Russia’s Plushenko (who is kind of a fantastic maniac and awarded himself a Platinum medal).

I’ve long thought that everyone should do mandatory service work as part of a national citizenship requirement, sort of like other countries’ compulsory military service. Just do it for a month, let’s say. I think attitudes toward (and wages for) the workers would improve pretty quickly.
