For some reason, I’m pretty much willing to bet money that whatever steps they come up with for “fixing” it will mostly involve more steps that make life more difficult for the pain patients that actually *do* need the medication but will do nothing to interfere with the flood of pills making Big Pharma rich.

Even if you don’t get bombed, there’s something satisfying about knowing that you can.

I’d almost bet money that he’d inform you that wine isn’t like, you know, alcohol or something. Like beer drinkers that insist they can’t be alcoholics because they only drink beer.

Sure, they will - but back when this was taken, I don’t remember him bragging about how pure he is. If he’d actually been drinking juice (and that red wine photo doesn’t appear to be grape juice - wrong color) at this point, one of those helpful waiters would have sold that story somewhere. Cause you know he’s too…

I don’t think Is This Hell is minimizing anything, and certainly no one is OK with the idea of an assault victim being mocked, whether it’s a man or a woman. But jackasses on the radio notwithstanding, it’s not unreasonable to acknowledge that in the scenario described, if it gets physical, the offender is far more…

Exactly, and this is definitely an area where more education could come in handy, especially in the Bible Belt and other assorted red strongholds. They get nothing but abstinence-only nonsense in school. The idea that their parents are going to sit down and have a free-ranging, informative talk with them is somewhere…

To at least some extent, they get there because talented, well-educated and well-trained people expect to be paid a lot more money to take a job that involves working nights, weekends, and holidays in order to deal almost exclusively with people who at best don’t actually want to see or talk to you and who often make…

There’s a tru-ism in law enforcement that applies just as much to POs - all citizens complaints are unfounded right up until the point that you piss off the wrong person in the chain of command. It has a corollary rule - it didn’t happen if it’s not on paper.

I can’t quite decide which is more disturbing - the idea that he can’t remember which one of two options he chose, or that he’s being bullied (and allowed) to re-vote over and over again until he gives the answer that ‘leadership’ wants.

“Also, why spend the $450 to renew DACA, when that could be better put toward permanent citizenship?”

For a lot of uber-expensive clubs, the white golfing gear and tennis gear is a club requirement.

Well, the first problem is that you seem to be implying that SNL *owes* us something in the terms of political commentary.

Insurance companies in the disaster zones will certainly example claims to make sure that the damage is covered, and there’s always someone who tries to skate on claims. At the same time, it’s worth keeping in mind that insurers that underwrite in those areas are well aware of the risks - you don’t think those…

And in a legal sense, no, actually, it *isn’t* easy “to dissolve the shooter’s estate and give all the money to the victims.” That, in fact, would require lawsuits and court orders and even if it could happen, it’s something that would be years and years down the road.

Well, c’mon. It’s not their fault. I mean, it’s not like bill specifically notes that it has to be renewed and refunded. Or gives them any idea when the deadline for that renewal is.

““He knew the risks...” sounds a lot like “It wasn’t my fault...” because he’s terrified of getting blamed for anything.”

But which of Wachtler’s professional decisions were based on an absolutely delusional interpretation of the Constitution - delusional to the point that he was removed from the bench *twice*.

Is it legal? No, it’s not. In fact, that’s why sanctuary cities refer to comply with ICE “detainer requests” in the first place, although not surprisingly, conservatives seem to leave that out of the picture.

Was there some point where Obama was elected major of Chicago? Or governor of Illinois? I must have missed that.

“It’s still 5th per capita and 1st overall for homicides, so ya.”
