Well, speaking as a veteran, I concede some of what you say. It is politically and socially convenient to SAY you care about veteran’s welfare, less convenient to DO something about it.
“Magazines appealing to a “prurient interest in sex,”...”
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Trump knows exactly three words of French.
“The man could have done homework and did not.”
That’s my thought as well. There are certainly plenty of conservative goons out there who also know enough about federal litigation to make credible judges. I might (certainly do) dislike their views, and would rather they not be on the bench. But they’re there. The decision of the Trump admin to recklessly pursue…
When a cold or flu was particularly bad, mom would break out our ancient Devilbiss humidifier and put some Vicks VapoRub in the cup where the steam came out. I’ll never forget the soft sound of that thing purring out its magical mist while I drifted in and out of my fever delirium.
I’m at the point where I don’t want him to resign over sexual misconduct. I’m not sure I want him to resign at all. I want his ass nailed to the wall and prosecuted for obstruction and treason.

Sure it’ naive, stupid even, but I think in line with many folks. Now that I, a card-carrying Buddhist, am confronted with “bad” Buddhists killing innocent people, I see the mental…
Bearing witness is an important part of helping people cope with trauma. Telling their stories and feeling heard may actually help their recovery, long term.
I kind of enjoy the moments where Trump drops whatever pretenses he’s under to be an actual adult and just flat out is as racist as he actually is.
For Trump and his supporters, lack of integrity is a feature, not a bug.
Can you please force Burneko to do foodspin here?
One of the major commonalities with these mass shooters, besides being male, is having a history of domestic violence. I hope that this is a wake-up call for some people to realize that domestic violence isn’t just a “women’s” issue, but a societal issue that needs to be taken seriously. Just like all other issues…
Hard disagree. Write a goddamn thank you note. 3 lines: “Thank you for your sweet gift. Junior loves the [whatever]. We’ll think of you whenever baby [does thing, looks at thing. whatever]. Love & kisses/gratefully/humbly, New Parent. Same script for all gifts, so don’t worry about being that personalized (unless your…
