Most of that Soros conspiracy theory nonsense it plain old antisemitism spread by Nazi trolls on the internet. “Soros” is pretty much a stand-in for “jews” among certain right-wing sectors of the internet.

I feel like this could only happen in the year 2018.

And it is very much laughing with them, not at them.

I rewatched Scrooged last year for the first time since I saw it upon release in the 80’s. It definitely stood the test of time. Recasting The Ghost of Christmas Present as a BDSM fairy was a stroke of genius and Bill Murray was hilarious as always.

Did anyone else catch the Trump cake episode? I literally fell off the couch laughing. The baker really captured the essence of his soul. Nailed it!

Not passing a common-sense bill that improves the lives of everyday working Americans can be a good thing in the long run too for the following reasons:

Treating human beings with the basic respect they are afforded in every other developed country is a “pet issue”?

Chances are Kellyanne already said that on Fox News.

Apart from family leave, we need federally mandated time off, full stop. It’s insane that the US is the only country in the developed world with no federally mandated vacation time allowance.

This is where I feel like our politics deprive us of the ability to have a nuanced conversation on this topic.

I get what you’re saying, but unfortunately, until sex work is fully legal and legitimized there aren’t a lot of protections for women doing it. Men know this, and that’s why the rates of assault in this profession are so high.

Doctors and nurses are at high risk of catching diseases through accidental needle jabs, contact with fluids, etc. People who do hair, or massage services, or manicures, etc, are all at risk of catching nasties off their clients. I suspect that irrational stigmas around sex and sexuality transmitted infection are why…

I don’t necessarily agree with the OP but we can’t deny the reality that sex workers are targeted by weirdos, and the nature of touring and meeting new clients in private locations is a particularly risky way to do it.

Totally. I’m getting shades of “I bought you a nice dinner and some jewelry so now I expect you to put out”.

As far as the sex doll brothel part goes, I say let your freak flag fly. I learned long ago not to judge and not to try and make sense of what turns people on.

Xanax.

I’ve settled on an Aperol Spritz this year: 4 oz Brut prosecco, 2 ¹⁄₂ oz Aperol, 1 Lime wheel, 1 oz Club soda. Why? Let me explain.

I don’t remember the media bashing Hillary being a problem so much as letting themselves get used by Trump.

And I would like to add that having more than 10K in the bank is a difficult proposition for MOST people with middle-class jobs, not just young people scrambling to get by or people who are struggling.
