Marchman’s absolute confidence in PA is interesting. You know who else was confident about PA? Mitt in 2012.

Obviously if the train is coming you won’t have time, but if you are ever pushed or fall in while conscious, run as fast as you can to the far end of the platform. Gives the conductor more time to slow down and there’s a ladder you can actually climb up.

What about millipedes? I’ve never seen a giant millipede on the NYC transit system, but what if there are like millions of them just beneath the surface waiting to squirm their way out? Millions of giant millipedes, each one several inches long with all those legs flailing around and each one stupid and hungry,…

Curious as to how his views may have evolved on the issue of Oligarhs.

Why can’t you understand that when a well-intentioned sheriff uses cultural slang that doesn’t conform 100% to our standards, it makes him just as dangerous as the serial killer who murdered seven people and raped a 14 year old girl!

Were you more angered by the fact that she was held in a cage for two months and faced certain death, or that the officers who discovered her and saved her life perhaps used cultural and regional slang that didn’t quite conform to your standards?

Of course! It’s not enough to expect officers to find and rescue a woman from a cage where she faced certain death. They’re also required not to use language that adheres 100% to what some of the readers here deem appropriate. Cultural and regional slang be damned.  

And yet the one thing you chose to comment on (until this ridiculous diatribe here) was a cop’s honest and compassionate reaction to what had to be a completely horrific discovery. Excuse him for being human.

On a side note, I do this all the time at work. When I deal with new employees fresh out of college, I sometime call them “kids” in an old-man-kind-of-way. Especially if they are younger than my son.

If you look at the pictures in the article she does present as quite young, plus he just found four dead bodies. I’m giving  him a pass on this one.

It also bothered me but it sounds like the deputy was very emotional about what he saw, so I’ll give it a pass.

Understood, but I suspect it was an older man who’s fatherly instincts kicked in when he saw the woman chained up in a cage and just said what was in his mind. Not saying it’s right OR wrong, just saying, I can sort of understand his point as well as your annoyance.

It is a little annoying, but we don’t know his age? Maybe the guy saying that’s old enough to be her dad and was comparing her to his daughter mentally? (trying to think of best case scenario here)

I still haven’t crossed over 50 yet but I don’t shy from my age. Hell, yes, it would be awesome to be younger but I’ve seen/expereinced some shit that makes me who I am and I can safely say, being (almost) 49 beats the fucking alternative of not making it this far. (I’d tell those kids to get off my lawn if it did…

Drew - you are like my taller, younger brother (says a guy with 3 shorter, older sisters). I have watched you try to endear yourself to me and my friends - going on chopped, using a lot of swear words because they make you feel older and talking about your shits and your matubatory habits. Like the younger brother,…

He will claim he was protecting his secret service agents.

Trump lacks the stamina to fight off his own assassin.

I like candidates who weren’t rushed offstage, okay?

Nah, Trump sensed a draft come into the room, so he was dodging it.
