It’s unreal. They didn’t even book rooms for the G20. He just randomly wandered out at some point and had his daughter sit in. Tons of other positions sitting empty because he hasn’t bothered to nominate anyone.

And John Crawford, the guy murdered by cops in a Walmart for carrying around a BB gun THAT HE HAD PICKED UP IN THAT WALMART. That was Ohio too. But don’t kid yourself that it wouldn’t happen almost anywhere else.

Yes. What’s interesting is little Tamir Rice who was murdered by the police was killed in Cleveland Ohio for having a toy gun that looked real. So some people can open carry in Ohio and other people cannot .

Part of the problem was that any time any coach passengers attempted to help subdue Hudek, the flight attendants and passengers up front would leave Hudek and start attacking the good samaritans with fire extinguishers and sharpened plastic eating utensils because, while they weren’t crazy about Hudek opening the…

Policy takes a long time to actually get passed and enacted. Even if the Deathcare law got passed today it wouldn’t actually take effect until next year and the Medicaid cuts would occur over several years. You’re right, things haven’t just gone to shit. But long term damage is being done; our allies are moving away…

A woman on Twitter posted something (it was reposted through the Trump Regrets account, which I follow) about how she still earns less than her male counterparts and she thought he would fix it. I was thinking, “Why? At no point did he even give lip service to the wage gap. Why do you think he’d care?”

I know this doesn’t exactly apply to this story, but it’s been gnawing at me all weekend. I went to a friends house for an early fourth party and got roped into a political conversation with a conservative couple (friend of a friend type). It, of course, turned ugly very quickly. I wanted their honest thoughts on how…

Once again, 53% of white women stabbed themselves along with all other women - actually scratch that - all other human beings on earth - in the back. Traitors.

“Rahm Emmanuel Likes Nickelback!”

Yeah, it’s like that one place I worked where some executive asked us what we wanted to improve working there. We said more money. He gave us a game table.

It seems like a way to force kids into the military? Most kids in my high school couldn’t get jobs, everyone wanted one and maybe like at most 15% found something minimum wage (Generation Me, so entitled hayyy) and since anyone who’s parents are willing and able to give them like $1000 can do one term at CC it seems…

We all laughed at Jess’s “Is this tuna or is this chicken” question, and went “HAHA- WHAT A DUMMY!” But she allowed he name to be slapped on a bunch of low-end shoes and dresses and she’s now worth $150 million so I guess we’re all the dummies.

A lot of poor students will enter the military so they can get a diploma.

Agreed, I can see how this would maybe be a good idea if they had the resources to help students create a post-graduation plan and maybe some kind of waiver for students unable to do these things right away, but this kind of ham-fisted “tough love” policy typically hurts more than it helps.

You can only get out of flying your mission if you’re insane, but not wanting to fly the mission is something a sane person would want, so you automatically aren’t insane if you don’t want to fly the mission thus you must fly the mission.

*city government meeting*

What high school student has a fucking job BEFORE graduation? This is bullshit.

No, they’ve essentially instituted a Chicago-specific draft.

So if you can’t afford college without a job, and you can’t get a job because there aren’t enough entry level positions for every 18 year old in the city, they won’t give you a diploma and thus make it harder for you to get a job later on?

Well, that’s just stupid.
