i think she wanted to use the n**ggA to be hip but ended using the one her parents use at home

Pageants have always been a little too JonBenét Ramsey-ish to me. And 14?? Gross and grosser

The five all have that vaguely thirty-ish Botoxed, fillered, veneered, extensioned, and rhinoplastied look.

What’s awesome is how the Secret Service went casual with matching khakis and plaid shirts:

God I’ve never been so jealous of an 18 year old in my life. Good for her!

Radiohead was always a mom band

Radiohead is a mom band now. No shade - moms are cool - but it’s real.

Not headed for Harvard this fall. She’s taking a gap year and working at, I believe, the US Embassy in Spain. (I know more about the Obama family than I know about my own sometimes)...

I love that she passed on all the official stuff last week to be go be a normal kid. Even though she skipped Radiohead to see Major Lazer which is the wrong decision. Or I’m old and Radiohead is now a mom band.

I had a friend who told me her period started while she was spending a night in jail. She asked for a pad and was refused, even though blood was running down her legs. She was only in jail the one night, and was able to get cleaned up the next day, but still. This was Winnipeg circa 1990 and she was white, if that…

It’s unthinkable. I can’t imagine what on earth she could have done, even. Maybe she’s a light bleeder and wads of TP were enough? But even then, it’s so uncomfortable and so terribly, terribly dehumanizing.

I could almost (but not quite) get past the no-pants thing if it wasn’t for the fact that NO FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS? Are you fucking *kidding* me? And I get stressed if I don’t have an extra just-in-case tampon in my bag when I run to the grocery store, even if I'm not bleeding at that exact moment.

We really need to overhaul the entire justice system - not just our police forces - all of it. Our training, our hiring practices, psych evaluations, the policing culture, everything from the bottom up.

Recommending 75 days for not completing diversion for a first time shop lifting charge? I’m also curious how she failed to complete the program, given that some of this usually involves paying fees.

Agreed. Denying a person their basic dignity (for what??) won't inspire more faith in the system/society. Rather the opposite.

What is the ostensible reason not to allow an inmate to shower? It's amazing to me the depth of torture we allow prison guards to inflict upon inmates for no reason at all.

Have you seen young Tim Kaine?

Not gonna get a snarky critique of last night from me, guys

This morning or late yesterday, Pence said a Trump administration would seek to overturn Roe V. Wade. Google it.
Considering that Kasich basically confirmed that Trump has no desire to actually govern and whoever is VP (Pence) would, in effect, be the president, you absolutely should not forget about Pence.

The problem with Pence is that Trump intends to give his VP quite a lot of power.
