It should be noted to the people who don’t know who Videla was, that although he was not Hitler, he was oh-my-fucking-God levels of horrific.

Pompano?

Holy shit. I should have used that line a couple weeks ago when I ended with a guy. I’m stealing it.

Exactly. And if I were Trump and didn’t really give a shit about poor people but balked at appearing to actively harm them, that’s the way I would choose.

The “until 26" provision is easy. Most people aged 18-26 are healthy, so their premiums will prop up the system in most cases rather than being a drain on it. The preexisting condition provision though, that’s the one that will have serious domino effects - and those dominos may fall in one of several directions.…

My wife and I know we aren’t emotionally stable. And we damn sure keep above water financially. Whenever my father in law asks when we’re having kids, we say, “We’ll think about it when we’re financially stable.” to which he always responds, “If you’re waiting for that, you’ll never have kids.”

Almost. But I have to think the ACA has a better chance of survival in some form because of Obama’s second term. You win some, you lose a shitton and end up governed by a twitter troll. You know how it goes.

Agreed. I know this is a sidenote to this HORRIFIC situation, but these are the stories that I bring up when people try to pressure me into having kids by telling me that “you’ll love your own kids! everyone does!” NOPE. Not everyone. Humans are AWFUL.

I always shared that sentiment- now at 33 as my salary continues to rise to multiples of the national average for a two parent household, I still have no idea how people afford children. The closer I get to stability the further I get away from wanting to go back into debt. Not only rich people should have kids. I…

Well, at least they try. I doubt a lot of young teachers are signing up for this exam choose. My sister’s a teacher in Canada. The first few years she was working before she got a permanent teaching position she just spent one year at a different school and you can’t really choose and no one wants the schools in the…

The only place I’ve seen this video is on Breitbart, which shouldn’t be the case. It should be on multiple sites, as it really is news and debunks the myth that all violence is emanating solely from the Trump camp.

If a presidential appointment goes up against the bureaucracy, I think the appointment wins. There’s no legal leg to stand on, and intelligence types tend to be risk averse as it is. The precedent of “we refuse to work with the person so the President must change” would weigh too heavily on their minds, with some…

Some said that a Trump Presidency wouldn’t be so bad, if he surrounded himself with “the best people.”

Megan, you can’t be bothered to included this man’s vicious assault on Jezebel’s list of election-related hate crimes?

There is no way this guy ends up in this position. Like, I have zero faith in Trump of Flynn’s judgement, and I think Trump wants this guy in this position more than he wants air, but there are parts of the intelligence community that will revolt over this and leak all kind of shit about Flynn if he proves dead-set on…

How is this happening? It’s almost as if in the process of draining the swamp, his team will just be comprised of the slimiest bottom bits that weren’t worth the effort to clean out.

Yeah, this.

Yes, the burnout rate is high. But young, idealistic teachers can provide a lot of value to a school and community in a short 2-3 year commitment. Charter schools and Teach for America recognize the turnover (and in some cases, prefer it) and structure their schools to make the most of the time and energy those…

This teacher definitely had a nervous breakdown.

Would that be such a bad thing? It would be great for, like, every other species on the planet. I’m an antinatalist.I would be fine with us disappearing if the whales, the tigers, the elephants are saved. Especially the elephants. They are highly intelligent and empathetic animals being slaved and tortured for work…
