Inslee’s not my top pick, but I hope he can get his poll and contribution numbers up before the CNN climate change town hall in September. His climate change plan is reputed to be the best among the primary field and I'd like to hear a substantive discussion of solutions before deciding on who to vote for. I'd…

Not that the nords are blameless, but the Dutch are not part of Scandanavia.

Or until Democrats take control in 2020 and impeach alleged rapist Kavanaugh.

Keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out.

So more going easy on white terrorists. Isn’t providing money to terrorists illegal? Would like to see all the racist violent people that funded this "militia" via Facebook, GoFundMe, etc. held accountable. Sadly, that seems unlikely because our country is now a shit hole where evil runs free.

Here’s the work phone number for this pos judge in case anyone else wants to call and let him/his staff know that we are not okay with his decision to go easy on Manafort because he’s a white rich Republican. Not that he’ll care: 703-299-2114

Kudos to Lambert for being a cop with a conscience and doing the right thing. I’m glad he wants to return to his old job, as Chicago desperately needs more cops like him.

I would hope not, as that would be illegal age discrimination. Not that it doesn’t happen, but that doesn’t make it right. Just like with youngins, with the olds it comes down to the individual. There are people 75+ that are extremely competent and capable, and some who are not. To stereotype otherwise is ageist.

That is a pretty shitty party.

Don’t feel bad. The Shape of Water is a Guillermo del Toro movie. I don’t think Tarantino was involved:

Yes, but it can be very complicated. Still loving people who do bad things doesn’t mean allowing them to, tolerating, or forgiving even. I had a father figure and family that took me and my brothers in many times over the years when my other fell ill, which was often. Without their family, we surely would have been…

Thanks for writing this, it needs to be said. I was shocked to discover as I approached my mid-thirties how many people - acquaintances, coworkers, family - starting asking me the kids question. Me - not my husband. At work, at lunch, at parties. It was tough because I wanted to have a child but my partner didn’t want…

Yeah, I lived through the Hurricane Katrina 12 years ago and it was obvious then that climate change was real, already happening and causing human suffering, and going to get worse unless serious action was taken.. Unfortunate to see more suffering because snowflake republicans prefer a safe space of alternative facts.

I agree. I call this the big un-sort and am about to do just that - move to a red district from a solidly blue.

I care. I care deeply. PowerPoint (or any other writing, really) shouldn’t look like a Dr. Bronner’s bottle. It’s maddening.

Yeah, I don’t like having the option of an anti-choice Democrat or Republican, but neither isn’t really a choice, is it? You’re stuck with someone representing you. I lived in New Orleans for many years, and it was such a regular occurrence having to decide between a full-on Republican fanatic and catholic democrats…

I have been building towards a much better 2017, finally overcoming personal bs and all, then Trump happened. Sadly, now 2017 is looking even worse.

Unhappy workers are less productive, provide poorer customer service, and increase costs for organizations due to higher turnover. I don’t know why you’re reveling in that.

I hear ya. This sad turn of events has made me feel a little better about not having the kids I wanted to have. Silver lining, I guess? I do feel bad for people at the end of their lives as well, watching this shitshow on their way out. I feel bad for most of humanity, I guess. Everyone except Trump supporters.

There are state agency “versions” of the VA. If you live in a state with a more palatable leader, you might want to consider jobs there instead.
