I live in a state where it’s perfectly legal to let your kid die even if a simple medical procedure could save them as long as your nutbag religion says you shouldn’t take children to doctors. Perfectly legal. There’s an entire cemetery of dead kids out there in the desert near where the religious idiots live. 

HOAs are really the perfect example of how Libertarianism is a failure. In theory HOAs should work- a bunch of people get together outside of the government and contract to do certain things. Then nobody pays attention to the covenants, breaks the rules, and nobody does anything about it. At least that’s how every HOA…

All tRump understands is TV ratings. Cohen got higher ratings. Yuuuge ratings. Between that and tRump’s bone spurs acting up the minute he landed in Vietnam, the talks were doomed. 

Great piece, although I skipped the Elizabeth Warren section to prevent my blood from further boiling. I really wonder how many Splinter readers bother to read ICT or other Native journals. I try to make it over to ICT at least once a week and am always amazed at the geographic breadth of coverage from Inupiat to…

I want a lynx. I would be very happy with a lynx instead of a dog. But no... fucking neanderthals gave preference to the wolves so now we’ve got comfort dogs riding around in first class on airlines instead of cats. Fucking neanderthals. 

Show me the kompromat! покажи мне компромат (just in case you’re reading the comments on Splinter Vlady)

Sorry, but I have to disagree that this is entirely Ms. Gaines’s fault. There are many things at play here, not the least of which is that she was mentally ill from the result of exposure to lead in her childhood in substandard housing. Yet another reason to support environmental justice. Someone should have done…

Some lawyer representing the City of Dallas and/or Amber Guyger is using their Word cut and paste feature to great advantage right about now.

Why are we paying for Ivanka and Jared to go play diplomat when they don’t even have real jobs in the administration? Kushner has a phony security clearance that never would have been given to anyone who omitted so much information or lied on their application. Congress should pass a law that prevents anyone carrying…

Nightmare indeed. The lawyers have to go to court where upper management insists the lawyers make essentially frivolous arguments which the judge and the other side know are frivolous arguments, putting those lawyers’ careers in legal jeopardy from possible ethics charges, let alone the damage it does to their…

Tried this recipe the other night. Excellent. Used a crock pot. I made the mistake of putting the spaetzl in with the broth towards the end. It sucked up all the juice. D’oh! Poured in another cup of broth. Still tasted great.

Portland police have a history of racism dating back to at least the 80s when there was a scandal about choke-holds being used on black arrestees. PDX has a very racist underbelly of rednecks you don’t see while wandering the Pearl District. 

He’s already on 40 mg of Crestor which is double the standard dose and his cholesterol is still sitting somewhere just south of 200, so it’s pretty obvious the cholesterol is winning. It’s just a war of attrition. Hopefully aided by cholesterol’s ally Diet Coke.

Toffuti rocks, especially the faux ice cream sandwiches. I should FedEx Senator-for-the-rich- people-avoiding-taxes-in-Jackson-Hole a case of it. 

Time for another Tomato purge.

He’s been showing up over on the Root under that burner. Someone actually responded to him in Russian (Cyrillic writing) and the troll proved his bothood by answering with a stock answer about something else. 

How about destroying the world’s raptor populations to supply birds for their medieval falconry games. They’ll buy arctic gyr falcons for hundreds of thousands of dollars, fly them around the desert until they drop dead from the heat, then go buy another one. There are vast regions of Kazakhstan that have been…

Never seen a confederate flag in Hawaii. But Alaska’s a whole different story. Lots of oil field workers from Texas and Louisiana up there with confederate flags or stickers on their pickups, especially in Fairbanks and down the Kenai Peninsula. 

Take action on climate change.

Highest prescription rate for SSRI anti-depression meds in the whole USA. I’d be depressed too if I had to live there. Fifth most personal bankruptcies per capita which correlates nicely with a religion that’s basically a Ponzi scheme.
