I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all. There are surely more undecided voters like me than of the other type, those civic-minded numbskulls who populate televised town halls and Frank Luntz focus groups because they are positive they will vote, but…

I was so excited about this but the Kennedy announcement was a gut punch. Also, I saw someone mention this on twitter about how differently women candidates are reported on. In so many headlines, they failed to even mention her name. And once I read that, it was impossible to not notice.

Trying to slip his Jesusing between jokes about poop is the “put a pill in hamburger” of acceptance speeches.

I like the reminders.

How in the hell can you enforce someone not being allowed to see a therapist unless the therapist signs an NDA?!?!?!?! A therapist isn’t supposed to discuss patient care unless it’s in relation to immediate risk to someone, so inherent in the demand is the knowledge that a therapist would likely feel compelled to…

Great job, CNN, just allowing her bald-faced lie to go unchallenged in your goddamn census tweet.

Not surprising. That kind of double talk is par for the course with racist shitheads. Particularly against Latinos, as I can personally attest. They want you to be American, but when they need you to be a stereotype of what they think a Latino should be, they shit on you for not conforming to that.

Rep. Steve King.

Wait they’re mad at an immigrant for speaking English now? What the fuuuckkkk.

I can’t speak to WH staff, but... political campaigns are usually pretty incestuous because they involve a lot of young people, they’re working long hours, and they’re with the same people day in and day out.

Because she’s the special one who can fix him, duh.

I hadn’t heard about that - it really does suggest that genetic susceptibility plays a part. I do suspect that, historically speaking, a fairly small % of women were actually drinking heavily, due to poverty, cultural taboos about women drinking alcohol AT ALL, or simply living in a culture with either no booze or…

Yeah, France also has a reputation in the ND community for being really bad about diagnosing disabilities, so I wouldn’t take their word on what’s to eat during pregnancy anymore than I would on what’s constitutes sexually harassment.

Keep in mind that child mortality rates were very high in those days. FAS children probably were more likely to die before adulthood than were non-FAS ones.

It’s also possible that this is becoming more of an issue now because alcohol levels are so much higher. I really enjoy wine and craft beer, but I also hate getting drunk and have a super low tolerance. Before I have a second glass I have to check the alcohol content to make sure I don’t get sloppy drunk. Highly…

Trying to spot the stupidest thing about this situation.

I’m a Guardian ad Litem volunteer as well. It’s tough. Lack of transportation, lack of education, lack of family members (or financially and emotionally stable family members) to help out, make climbing out of the system and completing a treatment and case plan very difficult.

We don’t ask that men be given the opportunity to explain why they beat their wives with belts, we ask that these men be arrested for spousal battery.

I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.
