I got the impression that Bernadetta’s mother had her kidnapped and shipped off to the academy to get her away from her piece of shit father.

Wow, who could have predicted that Tlaib would use every opportunity she could for even more grandstanding, including using her own grandmother.

Screwing over your grandma to own the GOP.

Just a matter of degree.

I find it mind boggling that this place isn’t gung ho about Warren. I am a moderate and I don’t even agree with all of her policies but she does the work, and has a vision, not just random ideas and criticisms. Plus, her involvement with the CFPB and consistent soothsaying about the economy is a huge plus for her…

I continue to laugh at the idea that a 77 year old white man who has been in public office for 30 years with little show for it outside of losing a primary by 3 million votes is somehow the one who is going to challenge ‘the establishment’, and bring about sweeping progressive change. 

“What if Bernie Sanders told you that legislation he passed in the house recently, U.S. House, would raise that minimum wage to $15 an hour?”

Let’s not do a disservice to the issue of gender equality by pretending that sexism and misogyny does not exist among liberals or democrats on any part of the spectrum. Because it does. As does racism.

If I had hair, reading Elizabeth Warren takes in 2019 would make me pull all of it out.

There are a bunch of people that would vote for almost any woman just because they are tired of the unbroken sausage fest of the US presidency.

This right here is why the politics of Scott Schwab matters in this situation. If he and the state of Kansas didn’t just leave theme parks wide open to self-regulate as they saw fit, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. But hey, Republicans gonna Republican, and people gonna keep voting against their own interests by…

I would like to star your response twice please.

That thing was built in Kansas for a reason. Because they have the bare minimum of safety standards and no state inspectors. If they could have, they would have built that death trap in other states, but they couldn’t. Kansas has an abysmal state government & legislature and anyone who’s been paying attention knows thi…

Have we not learned anything from Class-Action Park?

This is a silly comment. When designed properly, water parks can be both safe and thrilling. There are plenty of other water parks with excellent safety records. 

Did, yes.

Reminds me more of Hereditary.

If anyone hasn’t read Schlitterbahn’s Tragic Slide by Skip Hollandsworth over at Texas Monthly I strongly recommend it. It does a deep dive into the perfect storm of arrogance and so-called “small government” that created this horrifying accident.

FWIW, I live in Kansas City and I know people who worked at the park. The child was the son of a Kansas lawmaker (the anti-gay “focus on the family” type). The parents demanded their child ride the ride for which he was too short and didn’t meet weight requirements, according to the people I know. The ride had been…
