I know that there are bad cops out there, but if anyone knows what cops have to see everyday, they would give pause as to what their lives are like.

Deeeetroit Thitty. Home of tha cahrs and tha stahrs!!!

You know, I have zero expectations that Trump’s deal with the Democrats is “the beginning of a new, more presidential Trump” or whatever the hell the press says every time he doesn’t completely shit the bed.

It looks like the Miami Vice set designer threw up all over this house.

It’s tempting to applaud the humbling of someone who was celebrated as fashion’s wunderkind, and who got all the press and dressed all the celebrities. However I got the chance to work with Zac and his team for a year, while I was in business school - as an intern. The first day, he came over and introduced himself.

It’s so true. I am atheist but raised Catholic and I have found saying you are atheist makes them try harder. But saying you are Catholic, everyone (Evangelicals, Mormons, etc) just basically give up immediately, so as soon as anyone tries to get me to go to church with them, I just say I’m Catholic.

Ugh. Insurance companies are devil’s spawn. A lot of people don’t realize that Michael Moore’s movie Sicko wasn’t even about the millions of uninsured Americans, it was about insured ones who couldn’t get their legit claims covered. So in other words, all those people helped by the ACA can now anticipate getting…

And the real hot poker in the eye?

My mother in law died because she needed a shunt in her head for an aneurism.

You are right, you know. It’s the uninterestingness of most of the mail and the really harsh penalties for fucking with it that provide the security.

Literally anyone from anywhere in the world could call your provider and pretend to be you to get that information. They could spoof their phone number or location even.

Insurance companies could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave. and America still won’t dump them for single payer. Of course Insurance companies have killed way more people than that.

No. There’s no gender bias. Stop it. Stop derailing. Fuck outta here.

The expression “blood is thicker than water” originally meant that the bond between comrades is stronger than family, as in bathing in the blood of your enemies is a pretty powerful bonding experience, and it has been bastardized into meaning the exact opposite.

For real. I honestly don’t think kids owe their parents much, if anything. Why on earth would you bring a child into the world, and then vote AGAINST that child’s best interests, and still expect your child to accommodate you? Being the bigger person is great and all, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit there and…

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

If it isn’t weed, they will have another excuse. The problem is the cops, not the “reason” for the search.

She’s Black. They “smell weed” on us all the time, regardless of if we smoke or not.

I’m not a huge fan, and I think it’s because of the cultivated hesitation in her voice. This seems to be a bit of an NPR phenomenon - the interviewer who wants to avoid being ironic, but can’t disguise it perfectly, so the earnestness is a style rather than a content. She and others hesitate when speaking as if to say…

Gawd! That was one of the most uncomfortable interviews ever and solidified my deep hatred of Simmons.
