i recently watched a pretty fascinating documentary which explored that very concept:

I truly do not understand anyone who claims to be Christian but opposes immigrants and refugees. What words could possibly be more clear than these?

Mary and Joseph’s identities as refugees are central to Catholic doctrine. If churches are not providing sanctuary, then they should be.

In all the other lists being hit by a car was, not exactly metaphorical, but not quite literal either. So this was the first list where I considered the reality of being hit by a car, and then remembered, Oh yeah! I was hit by a car when I was 12! I was selling popcorn door-to-door for the Boy Scouts and a new teen…

In fairness, if the meteor comes in the next four years, we (the general public) will almost certainly be shielded from that knowledge thanks to a lack of funding for monitoring and a federal gag order. We’ll be told it’s just a cool second sun coming to hangout. Like on Tattoine. We’ll believe it.

I feel like it’s important to note there were some well reported shady dealings around her marriage to Trump that may preclude the idea that she is in this for the money. After he met her, he decided he liked her, and flew to Slovenia to meet with her father, a Slovenian businessman. It seems like much of the…

Because people get married for all kinds of reasons and none of them entitles their partner to abuse them.

I get this, I do, and I think she probably hates him because it seems impossible that he could possibly be a good husband.

Both statements are true and yet I can still find HIS behavior towards her shitty.

oh, but we didnt demoralize him, sean - he came to us, quite honestly, without any morals at all.

I don’t know if this a Midwest thing, but people call gastrointestinal distress the “stomach flu” here. It’s classier than saying “the volcanic shits”. And you can recover quickly with fluid replacement unlike the real flu.

I feel like people did worse to get out of formerly communist countries.

I adored it. Maybe in Ivory instead of baby blue, but from the cut of the jacket to the length of the skirt, to the matching gloves I thought she looked stunning. Don’t want her husband for president, but her outfit was gorgeous.

i think the flotus is lovely and is nice enough to do for melania what laura did for her. don’t buy into the bs and talk shit about a woman because you hate her husband, not a good look.

Is it steely coldness or utter misery? I know we do a lot of projecting as the observing masses, but it’s truly impossible for me to imagine that Melania is happy about this.

Well sure, Kanye’s music lacks the class, gravitas, or traditional values exhibited by Big and Rich’s hit “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.”

hrm. i had always thought of him as an ass man.

So you never eat porridge? That’s a double benefit, because porridge seems really gross.

I find that not baiting your traps with small children helps tremendously.

Not that I don’t think this shit is crazy, but this is the same thing we did with Trump’s stupid statements instead of dealing with things that actually matter. Of course gun violence in schools is important and tragic, but it distracts from all her awful privatization policies. Now, Democrats will spend the entire…
