You don’t care or don’t know about the truth, but I’ll try anyway: Obama has been trying to make good on his Guantanamo promise his entire time in office. He has Congress, other nations, international law, and plain old logistics coordinating all those factors to deal with. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/01/us/…

No force was needed. The teacher could have given her an ultimatum: either you give me your cell phone and leave the classroom or you get a detention. Every time she refuses to give the cell phone give another day of detention. She could sit in that seat all day if she was willing to miss her other classes. The…

I’m going through this currently. There are minefields full of “poverty taxes” that exploit the poor. For example, I was unable to pay my car insurance on time, and my coverage lapsed. I, of course, did not drive my car at the time (being caught driving without insurance or god forbid, having an accident would have…

He has had the ignominy of finding out he’s 14% African in front of the entire world: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…

I sincerely don’t understand why the NFL has to be involved at all in punishing any of their employees. They aren’t judges, police, or prosecutors. They aren’t domestic violence advocates or experts. Their primary responsibility is to their own organization and the rules therein. If a player violates rules relating to…

Bobby Brown thinks he could have prevented Bobbi Kristina’s death. In an interview airing Monday on The Real, he said, “If I could have been there two days before, it wouldn’t have went down like that. We prayed and hoped for six months, you know, for something better to happen, but when God calls you, he calls you.”

Swanepoe wasn’t the only model who stumbled down the runway, the Givenchy runway had steps in the middle (the setting was supposed to be evocative of 9/11) and steps plus sky-high stiletto isn’t the best combination.

Aaaall of this.

If he sincerely believes the kids are being abused, he needs to call child protective services. If not, he needs to stay out of it and let her make her own decisions.

As I said in my original comment, he should offer his opinion and support, then stay out of it. She needs to make the decision, but badgering her from either side is unnecessary and infantalizing.

And that’s all that’s needed. He seems to be making it his mission to have her leave, but she has to come to that decision on her own. It’s not easy giving up on a marriage, especially when there are 4 kids involved.

*She* didn’t do anything wrong. She is not a criminal; all she did was get married and have kids with a no good guy. Daniel has already given his opinion and offered his support. He needs to leave it at that. She has her own decisions to make, and continuing to badger her if she makes a decision he doesn’t like is not…

Her parents think they are standing up for her too. I’m not saying that he is a terrible human being, I’m saying he and his parents need to back off because his sister is a grown damn woman who can make her own decisions. She doesn’t “need” to hear from him; if she WANTS his opinion or advice, it is her choice to be…

He’s not trying to force her to leave him. He’s saying that if she decides to leave, she has support from people who love her which doesn’t include the Duggars and her own fucking parents.

“Quiverfull” isn’t really what I’m talking about. Quiverfull seems to be a step (or a few steps) beyond even very traditional Biblical marriage. But even if he isn’t traditional, he is putting his nose where it’s not wanted evidently. It just smacks of infantalization. Some people stay after infidelity. Some people…

And continuing to infantalize her does what?

Honestly, Anna’s brother needs to stay out of it beyond telling her his opinion and offering her his support with whatever decision she makes. The same goes for their family and friends. Anna needs to decide for herself what she wants to do.

He doesn’t even seem vaguely interested in foreign policy. I read a description of him taking one of those trips to Israel required to make people seem “credible,” and he had ZERO idea of what the whole Israel thing was. He was asking extremely basic questions of a person at the airport about how it formed, why there…

He’s an asshole. Republicans love assholes. They want someone to put the liberals and minorities in their place. They want to kick ass and take names. If an asshole can do that using words with a minimum of syllables, he goes straight to the top of the polls. Think of the people they’ve supported in recent years:

How is a detailed policy on how to treat transgender people just “pretty words”? What “action” would satisfy you? Does the President have to personally invite trsnsgender detainees to stay at the White House?? Did you even read the guidance?
