This reminds me of the many for profit prisons that have bed number requirements that mean if crime (well arrests) goes down the city has to pay.

Alabama Power(our local branch of Southern Company) charges customers with solar a monthly fee based on the amount they have installed, so not only do you have to pay for the equipment and installation you also have to pay the utility to use it, talk about discouraging clean energy. Yes, it is fucked up, but it is…

had raised $26 million in 2017 (in addition to $4 million for its associated Super PAC, America First Action)

I was relatively ok with her making as ass of herself for her own bigoted reasons, as all it did was make her look bad, until the “God made me do it” part.
When are we as a society going to stop valuing/respecting people’s opinions who live their lives based on the belief that a fuckin fairy tale written by some…

Imagine if people took Harry Potter or something as seriously as people take a 2,000-year-old work of fiction. She shouldn’t be celebrated. She should be mocked.

She remembers to make burnt offerings of two pigeons or doves 14 days after every menstrual period, right? Cuz you can’t pick and choose.

Agree with everything you said except, the USWNT is no more an arm of the state that US Steel was. It is, by requirements of FIFA, NOT an arm of the country. It is a private team run by a 501(c)3 non-profit called United States Soccer Federation.

Her convictions are stupid and claiming it was “his” word that made her turn away from her chosen profession to disguise and/or excuse her bigotry is nothing to be proud of, and a very dumb hill to let her international career die on.

Going on the 700 Club doesn’t fall under “relatively quietly”.

I’ll respect someone standing up for their beliefs right up to the point where their belief is that an entire group of people that can’t change who they are is somehow less. “I don’t hate gays, I just don’t think they should get married and I won’t play soccer while wearing a jersey that celebrates them as people” is…

I don’t really disagree with this, but I also can’t fault “how” the fans chose to express their disdain of someone who thinks gay people deserve fewer right than she does.

“It’s not a pick and choose what you want to believe.”

Then Southwest’s policy (which apparently isn’t followed 98% of the time) is wrong. A birth certificate is required to get a passport. Imagine a security policy that values a Facebook photo over a passport. #ZuckerbergGetsErect

Nope, and if you’re flying domestically the kids don’t need a passport either. The check-in person usually just reads the ticket and says, “Who is __?” and the kid answers. Have flown dozens of times with my three kids and even when we bring passports for them the only ID’s that are EVER asked for domestically are my…

So a whole lot of folks in Missouri took a look at this grotesque fucking nonsense:

If any other social welfare agency was run this way, it would be shuttered after its leaders were convicted. We have the largest army 10 fold over the next. The idea that everything has to be revamped for a land war with China and Russia is absurd - and if there is that war it will be in the next few years so you…

Has anyone looked at the national debt recently, this just boggles my mind. Eisenhower warned of this and the complex has run amok.

Except that is not the same. Gutenberg did not skirt labor laws.

LOL, what? The medallion was the verification.

Holy false equivalency, Batman!
