Some of these boys are as young as 14 years of age. They’re sent to places like Helmand & Mosul against hardened, ruthless insurgents because it’s the only way to financially take care of their family. They’re also the victims of sexual abuse from the older soldiers.

They needed to get him relaxed first. Probably over a nice game of Solitaire.

This article is really, really tone deaf and unsophisticated. What does the median income of BFAs have to do with anything? Also, Boyle Heights has never been derelict or abandoned. I’m assuming that the name 356 Mission is the street address, but the notion of “mission” is very loaded and apt – to convert, civilize,…

Surely Melania can charge it on the credit card that is the key to their marriage.

• Ajit Pai, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), announced that the FCC will vote on a proposal to overturn what he described as the “heavy-handed, utility-style” net neutrality rules of the Obama administration. According to the Washington Post, Pai’s proposal would “give Internet providers broad…

“Women are very special. I think it’s a very special time because a lot of things are coming out, and I think that’s good for our society, and I think it’s very, very good for women. And I’m very happy a lot of these things are coming out, and I’m very happy it’s being exposed.”

“Moore was better than Democrat Doug Jones who is “bad on crime, bad on borders, bad with the military, bad for the Second Amendment.””
It’s like someone sat him down and forced him to memorize a list of generic Republican talking points and buzzwords.

This article is a fucking ridiculous defense of hipster bourgouise. So someone who can “afford” to make art and makes 36,000 a year vs. someone who has to work to feed there family. Don’t you hister “journalists” understand, your not like us. you are not trying to solve the problem but you are the problem. You move…

Same as California. Now people who are the fabric of the community, teachers, policemen, firemen etc. can’t even live in the areas that they service. It’s ridiculous.

I think my ire with this article is the characterization of the Boyle residents as stupid. As if they don’t know who is here for them and who isn’t. As well as painting Laura Owens as some poor little white girl who is just trying to good, by following her salary with, but other artists are poor tho! That nice about…

Because you’re buying up limited housing stock in a poor area and helping push up the prices to the point where the people who actually live there can’t afford to anymore.

Further to that point, there’s also a firm’s interest in getting paid. And while that’s not an appropriate motivation from an ethics point of view, I’ve worked in firms long enough to know that it’s going to be a consideration.

I continue to be struck by how important it is to have women in positions of power. At most major “white shoe” law firms, the vast majority of partners are men. In truth, sexual harassment is a major problem at many big law firms too. I certainly don’t want to assume that a woman lawyer would have given different…

The weak link here seems to be Cy Vance. His tenure as NY DA has been riddled with stories of burying cases against the rich and powerful. See also the fraud case against Jared and Ivanka )selling condos in a building that was 16% sold by representing it as 90% sold). Why did Vance drop the charges against the…

The courts just struck down Trump’s attempts to take all federal funding from Sanctuary Cities, and Sessions is seeking alternative ways to impose the police state mentality on cities.

This is the part where you say something crazy like “I make candy corn sandwiches using Necco wafers as bread”

Your opinion is wrong and I’m embarrassed for you.

So Oliver Stone got mad at Melissa Gilbert for embarrassing him in a social situation and wrote a “special” scene for her to audition for him in The Doors. It involved having her on her hands and knees in front of him saying “do me.” She describes it as “humiliating and horrid.” What a fucking turd. I wish Half Pint…

Regarding Al Franken: His actions were horrible, but at what point do we can we stop painting everyone with the same brush? He was a comedian, albeit one that I never found particularly funny. He’s clearly joking in the one picture that I saw, and grabbing someone’s butt during a photo in the past sounds like a…

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders seems, in general, like an extremely fun and chill person to go to work with every day! I am being sarcastic! [Talking Points Memo]”
