My other thought on this is basically: what is the outcome she’s hoping for? Is she thinking he’ll drop out of the race because of a 30 year old sexual assault accusation that she can’t prove happened?

Right on. The national safety net is more like a tightrope. In a strong wind.

One of the things that pisses me off is repubs who argue that kids should be in school for the security of the children, putting a job on teachers they’re not supposed to be providing, THEN wanting to not pay teachers what they deserve.

Huh. It’s like social Darwinian capitalism might not be the best basis for a society to function under. Go figure.

I’d like someone to come up with the Karen equivalent of the white dude who coaches his kids’ sports teams and talks down to (or screams at) every black or Latinx referee who calls a foul on his kid.

It’s possible that this is not an either-or situation. Hear me out: it could be true that there IS no end of cluelessly entitled middle aged white women, and ALSO that the “Karen” meme (slur) is actually rooted in ageism, sexism, and classism.

I was thoroughly opposed to having Biden as the candidate, but here we are. Honestly, I think voters know we’re electing a placeholder who won’t be capable of completing a four year term (which makes his VP choice more significant than ever).

I hate that I’m in the position of voting for the *less* rapey guy just so RBG can retire.

This. It just means America will have to choose between a racist, authoritarian rapist with dozens of accusations against him, who thinks the solution to a pandemic is mass genocide to save capitalism, and Biden, who likes to hug people inappropriately, was accused of misconduct by one woman, and might not be as far…

I honestly and truly don't know what to believe anymore. The only ONLY thing I am sure of is that I will vote for whoever is running against Trump. 

The same way the drugs get in, via prison guard.

That therapist one struck a chord with me; my wife and I were going through couples therapy beforehand with a therapist who didn’t have a remote system in place, I’ve been dealing with PTSD for a few years now, lost my job, AND it’s been raining for days here, so it’s been quite the mental clusterfuck. Last night…

Also, if you’re not experiencing financial hardship, consider paying them a month’s salary in advance. You might be the only one continuing to pay them, and that money will make a big difference.

If you’re not experiencing financial hardship, pay them! You’ve benefited from the underground economy but the people you’ve hired have zero safety net. I have no idea if my housekeeper is undocumented or not, it’s not like I asked her for her passport or green card. Doesn’t matter—my husband and I are both extremely…

Schadenfreude isn’t a great look. Nevertheless, I’m right there with you. People like Rand Paul, who actively harm others, can fuck off and die for all I care.

Just a shame he is asymptomatic

His neighbor is going to have to wear gloves and a mask while beating his ass.

If this becomes the new normal for the next 12-18 months, as I’ve heard, we honestly do not know what the world will look like at the other end of this pandemic. Economies will change drastically, with unforseen winners and losers. International political alignments will change as much. Empires will collapse and be…

My wife is at fault, no legislation
The cops patrollin’
And now they done stopped me
And I get locked up

White people in particular notoriously mistake black children for being older than they are. This is a factor in many of the most heartbreaking cop-shot-a-12-year-old stories; the cops often actually think they are looking at a 19 year old. It is mindboggling to me, but it is definitely a thing. I am not surprised at…
