There was a house in my community, a few neighborhoods over, that recently had a dead cow and nails thrown in their driveway. They had several pride flags on their porch. 😒 But the light at the end of this shit tunnel has been that their neighborhood has rallied and people all over the neighborhood have hug up pride…

If I was in Florida, I’d be avoiding this one. It stinks. That’s an emotional judgement, not a rational one; I don’t have anything I can specifically point at, but our successful protests have been a) our idea, b) our events and c) on our terms. This is none of those. So I’d be personally Gift of Fearing this one and…

I’m guessing a vice admiral and Navy SEAL should be able to recognize when the Titanic has pulled up alongside him after hitting the iceberg and Captain Smith is yelling, “Hey, wouldn’t you like to take the wheel of this lovely ship? And don’t mind that tiny ding on the side ... no problems here at all!”

I think being fired by Trump because you’re honest might actually be the best damn thing to happen to a government employee. Short term it sucks, but after the Trumpocolypse it’ll be a godsend.

This guy has spent his entire adult life working in service of the United States. What made Trump think he’d want to work for Putin?

Or his puppet masters kept him out of those meetings for just that reason.

You and I disagree about the fundamental purpose of the demonstration. You latched on to two words out of the entire event description— self-care — and overlooked absolutely everything else. This isn’t meant to be a national mani/pedi day.

That’s called parent’s work.

Show of force, I suppose. “Here’s what we can do for one day. You want to press your luck?”

You know that bit in Harry Potter 6 (Half-Blood Prince) where Dumbledore is describing the school clique forming around Tom Riddle, which later became the Death Eaters?

The majority of his mob is likely a self-selecting sample size: normal people run away, insane or incredibly compromised people stay. The remainder is probably some blend of the demographics you discuss.

Shiba Inus, and some of them are very good, which is great, belong to that class of smallish dog which are fantastic to own, but you don’t like anyone else’s. They are super averse to strangers and anyone else who doesn’t bring them food, tummy rubs, or new stuffed animals to destroy on a daily basis.

lol. Someone must have changed the channel to USA, because I just watched a Burn Notice.

FWIW, I haven’t had great experiences with Shiba Inus either. The folks across the street from my parents had one that my parents dubbed “the little yapper.” It had one of those Invisible Fence collars; whenever the owners let it outside, it would bark at you, run around the house once or twice (no small feat for a…

It’s complicated- He reps New Jersey... I can’t blame him for protecting NJ jobs.

It really opens the door for Trump saying something like “I like people who DON’T get their limbs blown off.” Which you know would 100% happen.

I personally am praying for Harris-Duckworth.

I hope he gets primaried—especially by Evan McMullin. I will gladly donate to his challenger. Chaffetz is a spineless political opportunist and a coward.

Jason Chaffetz should be booed, and often — by people who know how! I’m pleased with this development, but I’d be more pleased if he wasn’t the one running the Oversight Committee.
