The organization behind this is a self described “pro-life” one. It is really egregious that this was left out of the article, as it lends context to extreme scenarios like this.

Coming as an adopted person who knows many adopted people who were adopted at multiple age levels, this concept of “ripped from my family” is so foreign.

There are TWICE the number of children eligible for adoption than there are parents registered and eligible to adopt (federal agencies only count domestic and not international).

You can!

That Kurosawa-esque fight scene was awesome.

Because around these parts, and in liberalism in general, it is far easier to critique one of your own. No one on the right gives a shit about whether Kate Winslet or men in Allen films are complicit or whatwver ism we want to throw around today. They ignore this shit. On the left, it usually devolves into Oppression…

That more or less illustrates my point. Likelihood is not certainty, especially coming from a site whose stats haven’t exactly been... accurate as of late.

The ONLY reason that Jones won is because two demographics that did NOT show up in 2016 managed to vote this time around.

He CANT run in 2020. There will be no terms until 2024. Both his replacement and Klobuchar have to run in 2018, which is why in at at large election, it is not practical to have two open seats.

I’m definitely in agreement there; I just hate that that seems to be completely glossed over by some in their rush to call what many would call a little navel gazing essay a great study in sociology and hoe poor women just can’t speak up for themselves.

When I question compatibility, I manage to do it without writing screeds about their flab or how he would TOTALLY think a Holocaust movie is artsy and great because he doesn’t work in an art house theater that doesn’t serve wine. I am critiquing the piece, I know she likely didn’t TELL him these things.

NO ONE comes off looking good in that story. She waxes poetic about his mundane movie taste, how awkward and unattractive he is, his awful performance, and most importantly, lies about her age- by omission of course, and so does he.

They’re probably realizing that as a result of these actions, MN now stands to lose a senate seat next year. 2020 would have given us time. If Jones had won by a larger margin, they probably wouldn’t have said anything.

Damn, CN really sucks when it comes to its scheduling.

No one is conflating them, dude. It must be hard for such a brave Boston boy to understand, but most people understand nuance and degree. The fact that there are differing degrees of wrong doesn’t stop it from being so. He has a point about Outrage Culture, but this isn’t an example of what he is reaching for.

Jets, Eagles, or Ravens. Maybe Seahawks, though the Seattle hate is usually revenge based instead of the more raging, irrational hatred of the former three.

I still grin uncontrollably whenever I see Pete Carroll dejectedly dragging his headset on the sidelines.

It wouldn’t be a proper Vikings return if his first pass was anything BUT an interception.

Nice!

Positivity time!
