They didn’t care about the way he talked about his daughter, they’re not going to care about the way he talks about adult women.

Hate to be the wet blanket on everyone’s tsk tsking of this woman’s parenting (I have two myself and an eldest who never seemed to need sleep,) but what this woman is describing is not normal spoiled-kid behavior. It sounds concerningly close to what I’ve read about sleep behavior in children who were later diagnosed…

it’s really not bad. at all. she likes trade, which is really no secret. nothing she’s saying is that terrible. It’s pretty moderate shit.

Just how radical did you expect her to get for a bunch of finance bros? She was getting paid to tell them they’re all the prettiest girl in the room, that’s it.

.... Why are you surprised she fought so hard against it? She wasn’t trying to hide what was in the speeches, she was fighting against the stupid double standard that had strong undertones of “how dare the uppity lady get paid lots of money to speak to a group who is willing to pay her lots of money to hear words come…

Parenting is a continuous exercise in picking your battles.

It’s the year where just about anyone feels like they’re qualified to run the country. I feel like some of this has to be because a lot of people assume that any (white) man would be better than a woman; if Hillary Clinton is running, why not Gary Johnson?

His tongue is inside his mouth, so improvement?

It’s context dependent.

What I also think is annoying about this whole “career politician BAD!” movement that has people not caring that Trump has no political experience whatsoever (‘He’s an outsider, we need someone like that!’) is: in what field is NOT having any experience an positive trait that will help rather than hinder you? Would…

“He may now bend the concept of fact as well.”

Is there really anything about the conditions on a TV or film set that make it a more suitable environment than, say, allowing a twelve-year-old to work a few hours a day at a department store? To me it seems like we make the exception for the sake of audiences, who enjoy watching media with child actors, rather than…

Poor girl. She’s gonna get Lohan’d if no one is careful with her.

This left me feeling gross. She’s a kid for fucks sake. She shouldn’t be saving her family from bankruptcy.

Pretty much all the people in the west (most of the west is arid and can’t support intense exploitation, but that doesn’t stop greedy jerks) who oppose federal land ownership (mostly BLM and USFS management) are white Republicans. White Republicans do not support Native American control of lands - not of resources,…

Also bear in mind, none of these ranchers, the Bundy’s included, want to own the BLM maintained land. They just want it returned to local control, i.e., towns and sheriffs.

Being imprisoned in accordance with the law following a valid conviction and appeal is not tyranny.

Bundy described federal government officials as modern day conquerers who understand the power they can have over populations by claiming resources, which is exactly what he believes is being done to ranching families across the country.

“I’m just trying to keep our family from going to prison.” Well, in that case, actually following federal law and not going and breaking more federal laws in order to support other people who are knowingly and willfully breaking federal law might have been a better idea.
