I support a total ban on semi automatics. All other guns should be strictly regulated and the owner should have a convincing reason to own any firearm.

She has a court appointed lawyer. So yes, while this is technically accurate, she does have legal counsel who should be primarily invested in protecting her. Should being the operative term.

We survived two Bushes, two Roosevelts, two Adams, two Johnsons, and two Harrisons... I think we can survive two Clintons.

My brothers went through a phase where they watched Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service daily. It was awesome. And short lived. It lasted maybe three months.

Sure, they have gun deaths. Their rate is very low compared to the US.

This is the type of science that happens on animals first. So we’ll have artificial rat, capuchin, and chimp wombs first. If we have them at all, of course.

08 was much closer (especially on gross vote count, since Obama did much better in caucus states). By the numbers she still should have dropped out in May, but Bernie should have dropped out in late March...

He doesn’t need to just win California, he needs a massive landslide to break even with Clinton.

It’s possible for someone to do something wrong, and have consequences for doing it, without it arising to the criminal level. Especially when we’re talking about minors.

Honestly, if I was that school, I would be requiring all of those boys to attend intensive counseling and sex education over the summer to re-enroll…

Yes, but if you’re going to start charging statutory rape, with minors, you do end up with her *technically* falling under it. It’s very likely at least one of those boys was younger than her.

If it was not consensual, then yes, it’s rape. There isn’t really evidence that this was true. Statutory rape is meant to…

I’m OK with legal repercussions for distributing the video, especially if it was taken or distributed without her explicit consent (or the consent of the other participants, even). Not at the adult level, but definitely at the juvenile level.

Every single boy in that bathroom needs intensive counseling and proper sex…

She started as a child actor, so don’t feel that old :p

I worked my first 16 hour shift this weekend (I work with disabled adults and the midnight shift pulled a no call/no show) and the only silver lining to it all is that I got paid time and a half. It ruined my two days off and fucked up my sleep.

Anyway. People not earning the big bucks should get overtime pay, FFS.

“...but not if they worked long hours of their own volition. “What am I supposed to do, sit at the door with a stopwatch?” he said. “I’m not going to do that.”
Um... have employees clock in and out like *literally every other employer ever*?

My then 8 year old brother once threw a temper tantrum on the way to school and threw away his glasses in a public trash bin.

It is. I’ve done work in the survivor community, and *of course* survivors of sexual violence are prone to believe the victim/accuser. But it also means that we get burnt when it turns out the person was either a sociopath or just not psychologically stable, and the allegations are just false. Of course, the majority…

This is why headphones, tablets, and PBS kids exist.

We have Raynor down here, so...

Um, what? Giuliani didn’t run in 2012. He did run in 2008, and dropped out in January after losing, badly.

I am looking forward to the dystopian alternate history novels that will be written about Trump winning. Because it can’t really happen.... right??!
