This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

Actually, I’m in a deep freeze in the Midwest, but we have a Crow’s Nest here. (My pipes have burst 3 times just in Jan alone - I need a drink)

I’ve never understood this. If you’re racist, then presumably you don’t think being racist is a bad thing. So why are you upset when people acknowledge it?

The best answer Adam Rippon could give in response to this: “I told the Vice President ‘No,’ I wish he would take ‘No’ for an answer, and I think he’s being really creepy right now.”

I’m gonna regret asking this, because I’m fully cognizant of the fact that cries of “Fake News!” from this administration, and those adjacent to it aren’t based in reality, but here it goes anyway.

Solid point. If I’m training for the olympics, and trying to keep my head in the game, I really don’t need some craven politician trying to score cheap points wasting my time. Respect the athletes: leave them the fuck alone.

What they do or what their reasoning is or how they feel about it are largely immaterial to me, I have to admit. I know they treat women like crap, and that’s enough for me. Knowing the why wouldn’t add any value to it.

How is this so damn difficult for so many people???!!!

It’s “Mother”.

So it’s probably going to turn out like this, huh?

She is totally correct on that Fake News take.

I wonder if Mother would let him eat dinner alone with Rippon...

Do you think Pence was confused momentarily when he heard Rippon’s Mother was going to be on CNN?

Mrs. Rippon sounds like a good mom, and a classy lady.

Or Chick Hicks and his Mean Tricks (too many kids movies).....

Since you’re already un-greyed, let me just say:

Yes, half the people in this photo have since been fired, but damn, compare this to what’s up above.

Seth Abramson is a very smart man, but when he tweeted about this story he said “That puts to rest that she’s Trump’s mistress”

EPA is required by law to think about things decades into the future. The reason Pruitt (and the domestic-only fossil interests that back him) are trying to overturn the endangerment finding is that putting it back in place would take 3-4 years, which is 3-4 more years that Robert Murray and the Kochs can make money…

Hope Hicks isn’t even out of her twenties. What the fuck is happening in the top picture? Is proximity to evil an aging agent?
