I feel like Veep did this whole scenario (but slightly different) last season..?

Right? Not even every human being gets to be cremated or buried, so why do clumps of fetal tissue get this treatment? And then to have the woman pay for it?! jfc. I’d send it to Gov. Abbott in a ziploc bag so he could do it himself. Ask him to pay for a real nice service, maybe a big ol’ tombstone.

Right? It was amazing for her to think to do that in such a brief window, and under threat right next to her. And the UPS driver is awesome for noticing it and following through right away. Yay both of them! I think the takeaway here should be that someone was able to help a very brave woman get out of a potentially…

What... did she think you were supposed to -do- with the hair..?

I sort of brushed by it by mentioning that it is also legal in the US. She also paired it with prostitution in the same sentence, so the bulk of my response was focused on why those countries decriminalized sex work. Of course, she also claimed that Denmark has “the biggest drug problem in the world” which was a whole…

I’m sorry. =(

I recently saw a few family members contribute to a conservative dogpile on some poor sap’s public Facbook post about Denmark, and decided I needed to respond to some of their bizarre claims, because allowing misinformation to exist won’t make it stop. Some of them included, “It’s the #1 country for suicide and…

“Business leaders, you will have to be clear about who you are. And you will have to be willing to stand to lose even a deal or two or 10 or even lose your business. But if you’re not clear, you will have no leg to stand on down the road. If you think you’re going to get away with it in the short run, I promise…

I 100% agree.

This should be put front and center. His tantrums are just smokescreens.

I think she’s doing her best to try and provide a positive example of her faith and culture where she can to masses who might otherwise not see someone in a hijab or a “burkini”, but I’m also firmly of the belief that beauty pageants are outdated, sexist, and harmful. So... I guess good for her for trying to combat…

I did the same. Someo fthose responses ranged from disheartening to terrifying. The one from the Florida elector is literally a guy who is the chairman of Trump’s Flordia campaign, so the likelihood of these assholes doing the right thing is zip.

They should have taken action and didn’t. Too little too late, Delta. Although I’d bet money that the guy WANTED to get kicked off the plane so he could act like some neo-nazi martyr, like that weird Starbucks cup thing from last week.

That’s horrifying. White boomers are breeding a culture of hate and fear of other races that should have died a long time ago. It’s horrifying the damage that they’re doing to our country now, and to future generations.

It was definitely an election based on voting -against- someone more than it was voting -for- someone.

Starring your comment because that was info that should have been included in the story. If the kid had a gun and was about to shoot him, that would be a different story. Even if they were threatening the old bastard with a gun, he should have told the store owners or the police or gone a different route back home or…

This whole year has been rolling toward a lose/lost scenario. Ideally, it would have been something like Bernie/Kasich, where two less-polarizing but still idealogically different people would have run, but then the world went nuts. Everyhing has failed so spectacularly time and time again to lead us to this point.

Funny how the party of “small government” wants far more control over our lives than the other side...

Polls are garbage. Every pre-election poll should have ruined everyone’s trust in them forever.

All I can think of when I hear Ted Cruz’s name is that tonsil stone he spat out and then ate on-air. hurrrk...
