“I thought it was illegal to deduct an employee’s paycheck for stuff like this?”

Doesn’t extortion only work if you’ve actually done something bad that you want kept under wraps? If he’s done nothing wrong, how the hell can he be extorted?

Watching Tucker Carlson’s tiny rat-eyes shift while his brain works out that he’s just been tagged as corroborating evidence in the investigation is glorious.

I love that later on this clip made Rep. Ted Lieu and Lawrence O’Donnell crack up: “He just turned Tucker Carlson into a witness!”

Jesus, these two guys side by side on split screen - it’s like staring into a douchebag sun. So painful.

Ya know, I don’t think gender is the thing that revs Gaetz’s 2-stroke engine. I think it’s age. Which is the common denominator between Nestor and Hester.

may include sex trafficking charges because he paid for her to travel with him across state lines

A-hahahaha... The holier they are, the sinnier they sin...

There’s no Barf Bag anymore, and I had to share this somewhere:

I mean, the soft bigotry of low expectations and all, but after several millenia of them fucking up shit at every opportunity, this feels like the most harmless possible pursuit we can expect of white guys, and so I think we should divert as many of them into this as possible.

I agree that drug laws and stigma need to change, but if he’s equating his few days taking heroin the non-injection route and kicking it as not problematic to a long-term IV user’s experience, I’d say he’s never worked as an addiction counselor to too many long-term IV users. Granted, I’m working only off of this…

I won’t lie to you, it took a lot of therapy and then the better part of a graduate degree in psychology to get there. Starting early would be a radical and transformative step.

If only most of us had the ability (self-awareness) to recognize a knee-jerk reaction for what it is and understand where it’s coming from. Alas, I think the majority of humans lack that emotional maturity. One of those things that should be taught in schools (and often isn’t), along with nutrition and financial…

As an alcoholic who definitively has the addictive streak, I 100% agree that destigmatization and legalization is hugely important. I also agree that many, many people can use drugs non-addictively.

My knee-jerk reaction to this was anger and frustration, and it took a bit to tease apart why and what’s going on. On the surface, I’m frustrated with the apparent glibness with which he’s approaching addiction and withdrawal, and painting himself as a modern MLK. But I also know that the safest society is one in…

If you willingly remain friends with racists, you cannot feign shock when people think you, too, are a racist. Odds are, you probably are. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Well, if Megan Markle did nothing else she’s getting terrible brits kicked off the air and that’s not a bad thing.

For 11 years Sharon has been kind, collegial and friendly with her hosts as evidenced by throwing them parties, inviting them to her home in the UK and other gestures of kindness too many to name.

Sharon has NEVER been a nice person. There were stories told about her in the 90's about how awful she was to bands at Ozzfest. I'm 100% not surprised and happy she's getting it as hard as she has given it. Racist dusty bish.

One thing I wish someone had told me was that I was going to give birth naked. I didn’t like the gown being taken off right before I sat to push. I was too stunned to say anything.
