LOL at the idea that being thrown into college after 18 years of spoon-feeding could turn Olivia Jade into a doctor.

With stage 4 breast cancer, I hope she lives. 

Not breaking the law is also important. Those kids didn’t have to go to college to have careers. Olivia Jade already had a career. They would have been better off if their rich parents had just set them up with trust funds, instead of involving them in illegal activities to get trophy degrees.

“how do you deal with someone who gives you the silent treatment?”

I forget where I read this or who said it, but at the beginning of the Trump administration I remember someone saying, “Fire all your normal government reporters and put your foreign correspondents on it: the ones who know how to cover the news in dictatorships,”.

“People are not going to be able to trust her, or even this administration, it’s even bigger than Sarah at this point,” Ryan concluded. “It’s now the president. It’s now his minions. Can you trust? And the answer is no.”

I give 15 minute, 5 minute, and 1-2 minute warnings that it’s almost time to turn off the tv to my tween relative. I am going to have to start the asking-questions thing in addition, though, because that seems so much more positive, and they could use some more positivity.

Cats?

“If the vaccination is so effective, why are the people who have been vaccinated so worried about a few that are unvaccinated?”

I can form an emotional bond with a plant far more easily than with a fish. 

“Money isn’t a finite resource,”

Quilling is pretty, and the colors are fine, but for a piece this small, I feel the stuck-on flowers protrude a bit much. They detract from the egg shape. I would have liked it better if the flowers had been the same height as the blue spirals.

Tone can be hard to detect in writing on a platform that attracts nuts and trolls. If you want people to clearly understand your intent, /s at the end of your comment is very useful.

Immigrants usually don’t cross the border on foot in very large groups. It’s hard to find remains in such a vast area. I would not be surprised if at least a few groups have already been murdered.

If answers are trees, then the forest - I guess - would be the one big answer. To me, that answer is that regardless of whatever details people manage to dig up, Trump is unfit to be President. That is apparent without any investigation, although I still think the investigation was worthwhile because we need to know…

I never saw it because I kept hearing it described as a lighthearted comedy and heard critics say, “It’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for girls!”. No. There is no way a movie about going through pregnancy and giving up your baby for adoption is comparable to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Or the myriad other things that also affect the lives of babies and children they claim to care so much about, like parental leave, subsidized childcare, high-quality pre-K, and equitable access to a good education. I could go on forever.

Well, me, sort of, but only because he’s managed to keep himself out of any major scandals and because I know he’ll only be replaced by someone worse.

Compared to Trump, anyone is competent. And Rick Perry may be dumb and corrupt, but he’s also got a practical streak. He was partially responsible for the success of wind power in Texas.

I am not their lawyer, so I’m not going to argue for the daughters’ innocence. I do place the bulk of the blame on the parents, because the kids did what their parents told them. It sounded to me like the younger one, at least, didn’t even want to go to college at all and was just doing it because her parents told her…
