This is your daily reminder that Murphy did not write a word of People vs. OJ Simpson.

i really doubt this was a trial balloon, it was a flat-out statement that anyone who practices Trump’s politics won’t be punished by Trump’s Justice department

The military has not historically covered gender-transition surgeries, though President Barack Obama did announce plans for it to begin doing so. That cost would be between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually for transition-related costs, according to a RAND analysis commissioned by the Department of Defense.…

Yeah, this is a trial balloon. If the response is anything less than thunderous condemnation, we’re fucked.

I don’t use the word “hero” very often. But you. Are the greatest hero. In American history.

Seriously though, that is very brave. I’m glad it worked out.

Wow. That’s a lot of bravery for you. Kudos for instinctively taking a stand, following in through, and living to tell us about it. Glad you’re okay, Bruce. Good job.
