Crazy number of Nobel/Pulitzer/Grammy combo winners out there, n’est-ce pas?

Gotta get ‘em hitched for that sweet sweet CR1 preference, obv.

Well, I mean, I am literally leaving the country but that’s been in the works for a year, and Trump being elected makes me slightly wish I wasn’t going where I’m going.

Travel alerts and travel WARNINGS are not the same thing. A travel alert is a general “be sensible because shit might happen” (issued routinely during, say, hurricane/typhoon season). A travel warning is a “don’t go here because shit is currently happening” (issued during an actual hurricane or typhoon). You can’t…

Because she’s a woman, duh.

Not quite. Both houses would have to agree to throw out any electoral votes.

Throw out 20 electoral votes and the required number to win drops to…

But won’t somebody think of the white people? Their (well, our) feefees are getting hurt just all over the place whenever someone says “racism” or “misogyny” aloud. Sure, every non-straight-white-male stands to be utterly fucked by a Trump presidency (and frankly most straight white males would be boned as well), but…

Not dumb, just historically Zeppos, as it were.

Educated guess by a Gryffinclaw (I don’t care what Pottermore says, I am not a gorram Hufflepuff).

Gaga leaves it on a table without a triangle fold: Commie bitch.

Classified is a general term for information which would injure or at least hinder national security efforts if released inappropriately. “Confidential” is the lowest classification level in the US national security apparatus, including State, stepping up to “secret” and “top secret.”
