I find it amazing that they had to pay someone not to tell the world about the fact that she slept with Trump. Like, that isn’t the kind of thing most people would brag about. This whole story would have made a lot more sense if they were saying they paid her to say she did sleep with Trump.

And what is the lactose intolerant, hypertensive person supposed to eat? Not milk, and certainly not a bunch of canned bullshit. What about food allergies, vegetarians, people who don’t eat the “typical” American diet and want to eat their own ethnic recipes? Oh, I know: Fuck them, that’s what. This is so bleak and…

I am a former food-stamp recipient, and reading this news this morning enraged me. SNAP gave me the freedom to choose to buy veggies and fruits and proteins - and some diet Coke and the occasional potato chip. This food-box program is some bullshit, and I can’t imagine having someone else decide what you’re going to…

Seriously, I always wonder where these people live that see so many people handing over food for hard drugs. Like, is this happening right outside your window? Are you the drug dealer? Are you just watching Fox news and taking their word for it?

This is so fucking stupid. Why do Republicans get such a giant boner over cutting programs that help poor people, women, and children? Our government trying to save money by cutting funding for programs like SNAP is like trying to save money to buy a house by collecting dimes from behind your dryer while driving a…

Creating a huge beauraucracy especially designed to make life harder for poor folks is a GOP core value.

Is it though, at it’s center? As a legal aid attorney who works with welfare recipients, I see two problems with SNAP.

Oh goody. We can look forward to the trumpenflooper’s main source of info running with the lobster and steaks/heroin and birthday cakes stories full force to get the loyal all worked up into a slathering mess. Twitter is already a buzz with people who have seen with their own two eyes hundreds if not thousands of…

I wonder if this is really going to happen. It sounds good to the conservatives and their indecent unkind voters.

Anyone else stuck in this weird spot where you’re generally happy/hopeful about the direction your own life specifically is headed, but the state of the world and the direction its heading constantly drags you down, so you want to just completely ignore and shut out the news, but you feel an obligation to keep…

Yes. Doug. Can. Read.

I don’t know if anybody’s putting in the Pamchenko twist this year ;-)

Yeah, but what about the figure skating classic The Cutting Edge?

Stop being hyperbolic about the Olympics?!? You are literally the worst person to ever live on this or any other planet.

Agreed re: their PCS being really similar. Adam gave much more of a complete performance than Kolyada.

Yeah, I am kind of dissapointed they were allowed to compete as a team. I have no issue with the IOC allowing individuals in individual events or teams such as 4 man bobsled to compete, but they should not have allowed this type of team competition to go forward.

Quads are overrated. At some point the men’s competition will just be dudes skating in circles attempting 8 quads per routine. Boring.

Eh, the big issue was Rippon v. Kolyada scoring almost the same artistically which was....sketchy to say the least. But in the end, it actually doesn’t matter because this is the team competition, and the 1 point difference that Rippon would have earned for USA versus Kolyada’s extra 1 point for Olympic Athletes from…

Nagasu was thrilling to watch. Her emotional reaction and response of her teammates at the conclusion of the program was my favorite moment of the Olympics, thus far.

Can we talk about Zagitova though? She murdered her program, and did it in opera length gloves. Fifteen years old. I am a life failure.
