I don’t know, though. Were they working independently and unsupervised, with keys to the property and able to come and go as they pleased? If so, it might be argued that just as they assume a fiduciary duty to the property owner for the care and condition of the residence, they in turn assume occupancy rights, albeit…

That’s a pretty long rant for no reason other than refusing to recognize that “things like this” just might refer to a slightly broader issue than ICE.

Yes and no on Roe v Wade, though. Yes, the forced-birthers on the ground are absolutely rabid to overturn Roe, and the twatwaffles running for office pander to them shamelessly. But the mere existence of Roe is a giant money machine for the PACs and the politicians, and overturning Roe would shut off the flow of money…

And at least attempts to use multi-syllabic words. Sometimes even words that exist.

It’s standard PR person BS advice. If they were honest, they’d admit that it’s got nothing to do with communication. It’s for the convenience of the photographer in getting everyone into an unposed photo without awkward height variations messing up the composition. I doubt Melania needs to be prompted to do it,…

I took their expressions as “bored but politely attentive,” because that’s pretty much default kid mode to having random strangers in your classroom. I know when I was that age, I could not have given less of a shit about the First Lady. Hell, I still feel that way.

It’s the audio equivalent of a click-bait headline. They might as well say, “He caught that pass and you won’t believe what happened next” and make you click buttons on your remote 14 times before it’ll go away.

Works for me, because if Obama’s an Xer, so am I, and I really, really despise the idea of being considered a Boomer.

Not to suggest that “Gilligan’s Island” was secretly a profound allegory on mid-century American culture, but that line-up wasn’t entirely accidental, either.

Is it harassment if I say I love you for your mind?

Jesus H Christ on a cracker, you’re literally describing my entire career. And it’s pretty horrifying to read it laid out so plainly.

I once had a total stranger contact me on line with “I don’t normally fck fat chicks but I’d make an exception for you.” Jackass sent that same line about once an hour for, oh, three days or so.

I’d really, really rather not.

IRAs can’t be matched by employer contributions. This doesn’t just hurt the employees, it gives the employer another nice little chunk of cash in their own bank account.

Chevy Chase didn’t use the line at all. It’s a Dan Akroyd line. And no, he didn’t even remotely say it with a calm, polite, straight face.

Who is it, exactly, that’s stomping around toting Confederate flags?

I think it’s because there’s a relatively small percentage of people that have spent much if any time actually working on the inside of the political apparatus, and even fewer that have actually spend any time in the military. All they know are movies and TV.

Just as long as they don’t ban me by accident. I’m not sure how I get out of the greys...

I dunno, but there’s something impressive about the way that these trolls have to ability to tell just by looking at a screen name that it’s not a veteran. Personally, I’ve never developed that particular talent.

They’ll be lucky if Granny and Gramps aren’t shooting up, too.
