So, will these kids be expelled? Because, I think they should all be expelled.   Let this be a lesson, kiddos, don’t be a rich thieving grifter like your folks. 

Right — should read strong and “independent” woman who lied about her degree, language skills, and her visa work requirements to marry a man for money and citizenship, not to mention set her elderly parents up for life.

Yep, it was the “WE GOT DEMONS!” that got me too (I snorted on the bus while reading)... and reminded me to re-ward our building (we’ve a “wee ghostie” who seems quite friendly and unobtrusive, so is not minded as long as no trouble happens, but do not want any awful things around as there are babies and animals and…

Word on the streets (of San Francisco at the time) ... rhymes with “mocaine”....  

I did (found it in “free library” box) - I felt I had read that story before, and better told...

Watching this makes me miss my (VERY Russian) Grandma. I was always amazed at her, a woman who had five children, lost her husband at a relatively young age after immigrating to a new country where she didn’t speak the language, and who remained full of love and affection for her family and life itself (after having…

Totally agree. Asylum and 13, for some reason, have stuck in my head for years now...

Hah! Probably! Though, I wonder if doing campaign advertisements for Paul Nehlen, white supremacist and anti-semite of note, would be a feature or a bug?

Fucking grifters - looks like they fit right in with the other liars, trying to weave their nonsense and pretend outrage to make excuses for their shady behavior. I hope they get charged with lying during a congressional hearing.

I don’t know if she was a victim, or if she found what she was looking for - a situation where she was the most special. She held power over people’s most intimate circumstances and manipulated people to ends that benefited her and kept her in that position of control, inasmuch as she could be as “second in command”.…

Good. The USDC, NY, Eastern District’s press release states that she is facing 15 years to life for the alleged “sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy [including, by some counts, underaged victims].” If true (and, having fallen into a DOS/NXIVM rabbit hole a while back, I believe it),…

She likely was, since she was a big fan of the gak... Confession, once I found out more about her messy life and “complicated” personality, I liked her much more.

I am glad that you were helped and recovered too! Thank goodness for the helpers of the world. I am learning to appreciate the fact that, today at least, nobody has shot at me... Take good care, Rockymay!

I heard that too — and SFG is the best place for them to be, a great hospital with sadly much experience with gunshot trauma. (I have to boost SFG emergency department as much as possible, they were AMAZING when my son was hit by a car on his bike (he’s okay, thank goodness). Those poor folks, just wanting to be at…

Lord have mercy... now I’m imagining some ersatz 19th century “portrait” that needs to be so spotlighted...

I thought I was being petty, but that wire kills me — so low classy.

I come from a long line of teachers. For YEARS, everyone tried to get me to hold my pencil “correctly” (I seem to hold it just like you). I remember being so frustrated because I could write quite nicely holding it the way I was comfortable with, and can write only barely legibly when doing it the other way. I…

I am so sorry - I’ve an elderly pug and I am dreading that day.

HAIL FUCKING SATAN!

He’s always hit my radar with his ballet-master creepiness. EVERY time I watch him give corrections, his opinions, talk to any female dancer, there are signs...
