Someone has been deterred from running from public office by fucking death threats. That should horrify every public official in the country, and the FBI should be tracing those IP addresses as we speak in order to break the fuckers who think they can subvert democracy by violence. But it’s a woman and a Democrat,…

No no, the high death rate of black women is a bonus. After all, they’re all welfare queens who will have dozens of illegitimate children and then demand food and schooling for them! By letting them die they’re cutting the head off the Welfare-sucking Hydra! (Sarcasm, but not by much).

I’ve gotta confess I find it bizarre that reporters (of any gender) are allowed in areas where athletes (of any gender) are showering and changing. How difficult would it be to have an anteroom where the reporters can wait? Is there any other profession where you’re expected to give media interviews while you’re…

It’s a real shame that people like Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins are the face of atheism. All consenting adults have a right to their religious beliefs and practices, or lack thereof. If they push them onto others, we have a problem.

Yeah, it’s not uncommon for the gaps not to be filled. But the results of not doing it are devastating. Poor little kids.

The European Union rejected Trump’s request to renegotiate the Paris climate agreement and will instead “bypass Washington” to work directly with US mayors, governors and businesses.

You are not alone in this theory. That was my first thought - that someone had forcibly deprived him of his phone and hadn’t thought to check the last tweet.

I’m afraid that to the world, the US has become That Family who has several rusting car bodies in the front yard, celebrates every holiday with a drunken BBQ and celebrates every drunken BBQ with a brawl that spills into the street and leaves the neighbors cleaning up the broken glass and blood. We are waiting…

“On the weekends he put in a full day’s work, easily eight hours a day, getting ready for this tournament,” his mother said.

...Agent Orange favorite is outgunned, outmanned, & would lose a battle of wits in a rout if left to fend for with himself.

He would have gone to Smeltings with Dudley Dursley. How Trump would have loved poking people with his Smeltings stick.

Exactly. Both numeracy and literacy are built on a thorough understanding of previous concepts. If your ability to recognise letters is shaky, you’re not going to able to remember which letter makes which sound. If you don’t know that, you’re not going to be able to sound out words. If you have difficulty…

Black boys are already more likely to be suspended and to drop out of school than other demographics in California and elsewhere, so the reading data adds on to an already troubling set of statistics plaguing black boys in school.

“You’re trying to make this look like Attorney General Sessions is doing something sinister because he forgot that he’d had one extra conversation with the Russian ambassador.”

That was my first impression from the headline, too. Could have been phrased better.

The one dissenting vote came from a councilmember who wanted Jasmine to receive a larger settlement

This sounds like a compassionate idea that would give grieving families closure following the loss of a wanted pregnancy. However, I have two concerns about it.

I want to like this because I love Kenneth Branagh but...Poirot’s hair and moustache are jet black. He dyes them as he ages. What is this salt-and-pepper shit??

Sounds like the artist acted in a good-faith attempt to make a Statement (can’t say about what, don’t know enough) and didn’t intend to cause pain to the Dakota people. When told he’d fucked up, he apologised and made all possible reparations. The article doesn’t suggest he was coerced in any way. I’m not seeing…

Yeeah, there’s one basic difference between same sex marriage and bestiality (or pedophilia, which is another one they try). SSM is a legal contract between two consenting adults. The things they compare it to...are not.
