From my point of view, it’s hard to make a moral case for capital punishment.

Precisely. We are all paying attention to the circus act. Meanwhile his cabinet is deregulating and destroying oversight in every department and making it a better environment for corporate corruption and malfeasance.

Yeah, it’s not about saving the baby. It’s about controlling vaginas. Otherwise they would be for sex education and free birth control to limit unwanted pregnancies.

Its the age old tale - pass laws and regulations too keepthings transparent and safe. Business people find loopholes to do things that are neither, but make more money. Laws and regs are passed to close loopholes. The cylce continues a couple of times until business people complain there are too many regulations and…

Way to pay lip service to the NYPD and law enforcement officers. Chump claims to love and respect them- unless of course they were a first responder on 9/11. Then they can apparently be thrown to the wolves of the republicon party.

Oh, heavens, no. They have no interest in saving any baby; there are no free prenatal screens nor vitamins. No free check-ups for children nor dental care. No care as to whether babies or children are hungry at night. No interest as to whether unwanted pregnancies will culminate in a safe home.

the Trump administration will resume the state practice of killing people.

Republicans save the baby kill the person. It’s so fucked up their logic.

I won’t bring a troll out of the greys, but it’s hilarious to me how Americans accuse Puerto Ricans of being corrupt when the United States straight up legalized corruption with Citizens United. Just this week, the Trump administrations reversed a previous decision to ban an insecticide sold by the company that …

My real comment is that exploitation is used as a counter argument to sex work but there are plenty of non-sex workers being exploited at work and there is less clamoring to make sure they are protected.  My hypothesis is that people don’t care about exploitation, they are just looking for a reason to outlaw sex work.

It is beyond me how a society could legalize surrogacy when sex work is illegal.

On that same note, if we care about sex workers being exploited, then why don’t we make sure Amazon employees aren’t being exploited? I think it’s because we don’t actually care about exploitation, we’re just pearl-clutchy about sex.  (we= the general public)

Trying to shame her for these things is ludicrous.

He has nothing to own up to.  

My thought as well. If he’d focused on how he felt and wished he had been treated, we’d all be here shitting on him for being so self-absorbed and sounding like some sort of sympathizer with sexual assault perpetrators.

I am actually very curious how someone in Ansari’s position could really own up or say something that would really appease us. It just seems like someone in this position is relatively doomed (rightfully or wrongfully—I’m not making a judgement on that): anything he said would probably have not been enough. And that’s…

Except for the fact that people DID smoke like chimneys in small town Indiana in the 80s. It's very common for people to start (or re-start) smoking when stressed.

What are you asking “how” about? How should parents teach their children about the dangers of smoking? By talking to them. Usually about how people used to smoke a lot and now we don’t as much because people figured out that it was horrifically bad for you. That’s why people in old movies smoke a lot and why people in…

Now, now, you can’t have the PARENTS with their CHRISTIAN LAWYERS taking responsibility! Think of their feelings! Do you know how hard it is getting up from their recliners?

I mean.....people smoked. A lot. And everywhere.
