And I think the Trump defense is that since Wikileaks did not break the law to get the leaked Clinton docs (they were given to them by the Russians, who did break the law), that the Trump campaign working with Wikileaks is not illegal.

Feh.

ignorance of the law is a perfectly fine defense in most white collar crimes because the statutes were written to require knowledge of wrongdoing.  much has been written about how this is to ensure that we are not throwing well-heeled whites in jail.

I printed out the report and put it in a binder to take home and read, but i’m also OCRing the PDF (it takes a long time to OCR a document this big) so I can search in it. I’m annoyed they gave us a scanned PDF and not a already searchable one, and really it’s not that hard to bookmark the sections. Adobe gives us so…

There’s a slit for the water. You put it on as high pressure as you want and no backsplash will come up.”

Let’s all remember who called into a radio show on 9/11 to note that his building was now the tallest in NYC. NEVER FORGET.

Certainly puts things into perspective when you remember that Bush, who illegally invaded Iraq, even went so far as to condemn Islamophobia directly after 9/11.

I am pretty sure the 3 (or 5) second rule only applies to things *you* drop, not food you just happen upon randomly in the street.

I think Westworld Season 1 is one of the best seasons of TV ever made. I think it’s maybe Sir Anthony Hopkins’ finest work, period. Yes, better than Silence of the Lambs.

Also, familiarizing yourself with this list would be helpful:

Eh, I feel like that’s just a poor way of framing it.

To say nothing of the Nebula and Gamora content.

If they do as we all hope and pray, and have Luis do it, it’ll take 30 seconds.

Kinda silly not to include Guardians 1 and 2. Pretty essential in regards to Thanos and his impact on key characters.

I’m not sure I disagree with the outcome but IVANKA WORKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Jenna was in college, not ignoring information about WMDs. Hoover was dead 13 years before Margaret was born so she wasn’t involved in ignoring the need for a federal lynching law.

Yes, but they weren’t directly involved in their father’s administrations or policies, the Bushes and Clintons and Hoovers were just children. Ivanka is a grown woman, with a political appointment as her father’s advisor. They won’t, but the media should be putting her on blast constantly.

Meh. I have no interest in social media Influencers, but I don’t agree it isn’t “real” work. They hustle for sponsors and followers, produce new content on a regular basis, plan campaigns, keep ahead (or at least abreast) of trends, curate their image, deal with trolls and PR, and legalities like paying tax. That’s…

Yeah, I think every parent wants their kids’ lives to go as smoothly as possible and with an LGBTQIA child, you know they’re going to face some shit. That, coupled with Blackness, is hard. One of my best friends is Black, gay, and from the South and he came out to his parents in high school, and they had that fear.…

Convo with my Aunt:

Right?! I was definitely kissing boys when I was 11. My mom delights in talking about how I had this big, obvious crush on my 17-year-old cousin when I was 3. I would actually blush when he came around (probably because he was nice to me and even then I sensed his “coolness,” lol), and I remember exactly how it felt…
