I’m Canadian and at the time it happened I was in high school in a northern part of the country with a lot of anti American sentiment. Our teachers stopped classes and put TVs in every room. We watched live as the second tower and pentagon were hit. A bunch of the boys in my class started laughing and cheering.…

I’m in Canada and I remember my friends and I leaving school to go watch the news obsessively...laying on my friend’s dirty basement floor in front of the tv, discussing our fears that this was clearly going to be the start of something big and scary and world-altering.

Well it’s no secret the only human lives he values are his own and Ivanka’s (but that’s only because he not so secretly wants to fuck her).

Except they were dealing with racial slurs, having their daughters called brats and criticized the girls clothes, FLOTUS was called fat then masculine. Oh and remember the hysterical paper money with a watermelon eating tap dancing monkeyfied Obama, so funny and light hearted! Mean while the Dixie Chicks insulted Bush…

Now I’m confused because Europe uses the metric system; maybe I’m only a 6 in America, but it converts to a 10 overseas?

Rape, because what did we expect, being human women in public?

Criminalizing abortion. Criminalizing pregnancy. Criminalizing birth. I mean...what exactly are our options? Not have sex. But then how will the menz get the sexy times they’re entitled to?

But states are now making it even harder for women to get abortions. If you’re that bad off on drugs, you probably also have no means to drive to another state to get an abortion.

You mean threatening someone with jail does NOT encourage them to come to you for help? COLOR ME SURPRISED.

“Health and drug treatment professionals agree that treatment for addiction is critical, but they also agree that bills that focus on punitive measures in order to coerce people into getting treatment simply are not effective. In fact, this law has harmed the very people it was supposed to help.”

You said “allow them to opt out” of covering things they find objectionable. If you are going to have an opt-out, you have to have a mechanism for doing so.

The alternative would be to say that no one is covered by a mandate, and birth control is always provided by a separate state-sponsored plan. While I might be OK…

And that has a tremendous amount of value.

You mean the way their employees can’t afford birth control without insurance?

As one comedian said, I forget who (Ritch Shydner, maybe), many years ago (paraphrasing): I like to hold them up as I walk through the store and shout “I got a woman! I got a woman!”

I rip off a piece of the box and say, “Get me more of these.” He can’t get my takeout order right a lot of the time, but he always comes back with the correct feminine hygiene products.

Edited to add: Oh, one time Target was out of my brand so he called from the aisle to ask if “super absorbency” and “ultra absorbency”…

I realize this comment relates to one of the least interesting parts of this dog-and-pony show, but:

“When we interviewed the victim, we determined that the other party didn’t mean to assault him, but was simply intending to instigate a boxing match.”

“Yeah, we don’t investigate many of the theft reports we get because after interviewing the ‘alleged’ victim, we actually find that they were simply unaware of the fact that the item(s) in question were really just borrowed.”

Spot on in my case.
