Unfortunately, I know from experience that many of them have food tasters so the garbage would never make it to the table.

People are also forgetting that per MN law, whomever Dayton appoints only serves until the next NATIONAL ELECTION, not to the end of the term of the vacated senator. That means that both Franken and Klobuchars seats are up at once in 2018, and as a Minnesotan, there is no way in hell Democrats will hold onto both…

This is a media group that recently got sued out of existence for its shoddy publishing standards. No way in hell is Univision and its lawyers going to allow them to publish material that further tarnishes and compromises their reputation.

I was a. BAL.LER.IN.A!!!

Regarding 1, she was already very famous and didn’t need that film as a career boost. So, if it was so damn sexist, she didnt need to take the role. She only complained when other people started complaining and considering her choices for other roles, it came off as extremely pandering.

While it’s undeniably cute that you assume school board members consist of millionaires in the pocket of “big oil” and that city council members in rural America spent their time at Wall Street firms, let’s address the more important issues: How quickly can cynical bastards on the left destroy any optimism in the next…

I went to high school in the Midwest and it was the same here.

Agreed. Especially with local people! Governing is more than a mayor, governor, national representative, and senator. It may not be sexy to be on the school board or city council, but they’re still important.

We really need more civics classes and civic engagement workshops in high schools. There are so many young people that would be incredible lawmakers and representatives, but in additon to funding issues, we lack forums that actively ENCOURAGE them to run for office and reinforce the notion that they actually can make…

It may just be geography, but our worst tourists were Quebecois. Very demanding and tipped like shit. Hell, I even started speaking solely in French to try and garner goodwill. It helped... barely.

The Lions really worry me because if they win, the tiebreaker rule will force the Vikings into only a one game lead, which they will be all too eager to blow.

The area birds will go full Hitchcock and blast through the walls of the stadium, hitting Keenum in his right eye before he throws the interception that ruins the game.

Botched 4th quarter hail mary leading to an interception and touchdown by the opposing team that puts the Vikes down by 1, followed by an amazing final drive that ends in a far right 26 yard field goal at the last second.

Guaranteed that the music industry is as bad as, if not worse than the film industry. I hope they go full Henry Morgan on these assholes and string them up by their balls.

It’s pretty telling that these articles and the subsequent comments have little commentary on the actual assault. Hating on Lena Dunham is probably the only bipartisan click generator.

Welp, I find THAT ironic considering that many Root commenters were and are Jez regulars. And in that vein they’d be more than well aware of the massive hate boner Jez has always had for Dunham, dating back to one positive post for Tiny Furniture. If a post was delayed, it certainly wasn’t to avoid their favorite…

That’s such an important message.

Definitely. Simone’s “I’m not surprised” told multitudes. Gabby’s comment and even apology sounded all too close to that one kid in the Christian youth group that will endlessly talk about a woman’s place and how glorified it is in the eyes of God.

The data breach is when I stopped as well, but I tried for the first Kinja transition before noping out of here.

Yeah, the grays SUCK.
