I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about domestic violence and how we continue to fail to take it seriously enough  

Yep. She out-thought him again. She never committed to a date, just that they would meet to discuss one once the shutdown was over. He wants to speak in front of the House, and he can’t do it until she invites him back. 

When I first saw the shutdown was ending for 3 weeks, my first thought was that Donald was only doing it so he could give the SOTU.

“I am technically guilty of this crime but seriously fuck this for being a crime”

One person handing out jury nullification literature outside the courthouse would pretty much cinch it.  

I really wish you could enter a plea of “this law sucks” in addition to either guilty or not guilty.

No, the claim for the visit and script totalled $233, so that is the amount she defrauded the insurance company. This article mis-reported that part.

For real. I would consider letting this go to trial and see if a jury of my peers would convict me. 

Let’s not. Let’s just not have deductibles. Let’s just have real fucking first world health care like every other civilized goddamn country.

Let’s have a round of applause for deductibles. If the bill had gone straight to her insurance, there’s no freaking way they would have paid that much for a drug that’s been on the market since the Nixon Administration. 

She paid $233 WITH INSURANCE? I’m flabberghasted at how utterly FUCKED the system is at perceiving who is committing which crimes in this story!

I don’t think you could have a prouder moment than turning yourself in because you fraudulently obtained some medicine for a poor and sick child.

He wanted a say in his best friend’s girlfriend’s abortion.

Years ago, I lived in DC and worked at a nonprofit that’s well known for working to protect women’s reproductive rights (among many other issues). As part of our job, we had to go down and counter-protest the anti-abortion folks who came to the March for “Life.” We were told they would yell at us, call us names, jeer,…

Exactly. Those MAGA hats and clothing are now considered symbols of racial prejudice and hatred, so if you are claiming you aren’t a racist, don’t fucking wear them!!

I should have a say in whether he gets a vasectomy by that flawless logic.

That would never in a million fucking years would be my kid. And if it was, I wouldn’t hire him a PR firm and encourage him to feign some kind of privileged victimhood.

Exactly. Teenage boys should definitely have a say in what women do with their bodies. JFC.

Likely they want to clarify her condition. I suppose it’s similar, though not entirely comparable to say if your child has autism, and someone said they had down syndrome. You would likely correct them.

So, this guy can’t make a speech that could be political at the school buuuuuuuuuuuut the school sends kids decked out in MAGA hats to a political rally.

MAKES SENSE.
