And interestingly, anyone who knows anything about dogs knows to be more wary around collies than Great Danes.

Thanks to a 2016 Supreme Court decision called McDonnell v. United States, an elected official can totally sell access without violating any laws. From Scotusblog:

CNN’s @barbarastarrcnn reports that Pentagon officials say they are seeing signs that Iran is preparing to strike Israel, perhaps from Syria.

As they say, democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

I’m confused — did you bang him on a park bench, or refuse to touch him at his grandfather’s funeral?

If I could write a shrug, I would. Melania is getting exactly what she deserves.

I don’t understand the negative tone of this article. This woman got death threats, was investigated by the government, and had her career greatly curtailed for this one stunt. All of this backlash happened, and it was over the top. Why is she wrong and somehow dishonest for initially apologizing and then being like,…

There’s a lot of economic anxiety out there ...

I was surprised recently to realize how many of my male acquaintances were repeating the same incel talking points. Namely: women discriminate against short men and that 80% of women only go for 20% of men, which proves women are shallow, unfair bitches. And that any woman can get laid or a relationship whenever she…

I love the term “incel-tier girlfriend”. For these guys, it’s not even about not having sex with women - it’s not having sex with the right women. The kind of women they deserve to bone. And they feel so entitled to this that if they don’t get it, they think the best corrective action is to murder random people.

Purple prose for: “Any bigger than a size 2 and my boner gets sad.”

he spent a lot of his career surrounded by “beautiful, needy, aggressive young women” and that environment made him feel “like something from a Greek myth.”

When it comes to Michael Avenatti his self-assuredness that he’s about to send some skulls rolling that just adds to the whole package.

Paid parental leave, affordable childcare, universal health care, and quality public education would also help tremendously I would think.

Why is is that so many people don’t know about the Hyde Amendment???

I’m not sure if Jared and Ivanka are aware that the Hyde amendment doesn’t permit federal funds to pay for abortions, and PP also survives on private donations.

It also implies that she’s a control freak and probably can’t have someone else even choose an end table for her without having a meltdown.

This might be my favorite new, story-rich-person-tells-to-seem-relatable-that-definitely-does-not-make-them-relatable, replacing Ivakna Trump’s “I made the help buy lemonade from us as children” story.

Does she want some sort of medal for choosing to decorate her own house herself? Wow. I understand that most people in her income bracket hire interior designers, but if *this* is the best anecdote she can come up with to show people how “down to earth” she is, that actually lowers my opinion of her even more.

The money picture: He’s obviously at his workplace, what is she doing there? Seriously, none of my family members hang around my workplace. The closest any of them have come is to wait for me in the lobby. It’s very strange for anyone to have family around while working.
