Or “Be your best.” You’d think Melania would enlist the help of a native English-speaker (one that’s smarter than the toad she’s married to) for stuff like this. “Be Best” just sounds stupid.

This is one of those beautiful, heart-warming stories in which I fervently hope that everyone involved goes to jail.

Don’t you just love a story where everyone involved is trash.

As an LGBTQ+ person, I don’t agree with the Evangelical Christian lifestyle. However, I don’t yell at evangelicals or throw my rainbow flag at them, even when they scream at us at our gatherings, try to deny us equality under the law, shoot up our bars, barricade our health clinics, straight-up murder us in the street,…

I don’t agree with the LGBT lifestyle. However...

It’s almost like Judaism in that sense...I know some Irish atheist friends who call themselves “Culturally Catholic.”

A lot of Catholics ignore a lot of things about the Catholic church.  it’s kind of a thing.  They often ignore attending altogether.

The scotus as itis now probably wouldn’t recognize us as equal humans. And I love how atheists and Christians alike bring up Leviticus as the issue- Us Jews have more liberal stances towards gay people than those who identify as “nones” on polls. It’s almost as if nobody else has gotten over it but us- and it’s our…

Interestingly, the pope has only declared something infallibly once (about the Assumption of Mary). For him to speak infallibly he has to speak “ex cathedra” or ‘from the chair’, and do a bunch of other ceremonial stuff. The Pope is just the Bishop of Rome, but due to how big Rome was back in the day he is considered…

Because you can also disagree with the infallibility bit as well. The concept was invented to head off a doctrinal disagreement about something or other. It does not mean the Pope is divinely right about every opinion he holds. Otherwise Catholics would only be allowed to support a single soccer team...

And if he was promoting the Catholic Church on tv, there’d be nothing wrong with Page calling that out.

I think in the Catholic Church, the congregants tend to be more liberal than the Church.

I can’t account for Tyler’s recollection of the needle as a part of the abortion. My guess is they did an amnio as part of her workup after the fire to determine harm to the fetus after her extreme level of oxygen deprivation, and Tyler misunderstood what that was for. Possibly it all became fuzzy in his memory (this…

Jimmy Savile, Jerry Sandusky and Michael Jackson used charity as a way to rise above suspicion while getting access to a vulnerable pool of potential victims, and increase the odds that anyone who could catch them in the act had a reason to look the other way. The facility is fine only as long as Tyler isn’t allowed…

If his only connection to it is funding it and he has no contact with the girls, has no say in how the facility is run, and the facility follows best practices - it might be a good thing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like he has avoided contact with the girls, and it doesn’t sound like he has acknowledged any harm…

OMG, are you kidding me with that forced-birther propaganda bullshit? “they punctured my uterus with a large needle and left me alone... the baby came out of me alive and was allowed to die.” That’s straight fantasy. That is not how abortions work. 

I would never get dressed up to fly now. You should dress comfortably with slip on shoes for reasons like if the plane makes an emergency landing and they want you off the plane as soon as possible and they haven’t got time to wait for people to deal with their shoes or whatever.

Excuse me, you dress up to go to the doctors office? How do people in sweatpants and flip flops offend you in any way?

Like the Affordable Care Act before it, the public option would preserve the rotten system that leads to this.

He’s not just Christian, he’s aggressively Christian. I would have a hard time seeing someone on a Christian fasting diet as being particularly mellow.
