Agreed, more people should have an issue with cops just running tags because it’s easy for them to do. “Reasonable suspicion” should still be some kind of standard, i.e. the driver has to do something to warrant a stop and the tags being run.

My city has a “nutrition center” that sells shakeology mixed in different sweet recipes like cookies and cream and recreating starbucks drinks. People (and by people I mean my nutritionally inept female coworkers) will spend close to $10 for a single shake and then brag about how full and satisfied they are for hours…

You could also fail at running a corporation, those guys get millions.

It’s not actual caring, it’s the optics of caring.

If it will likely kill the baby and experts agree will do nothing for its health? I don’t think “but we have the money to throw at it” (and I don’t know that they are privately funding all aspects of his care) is a valid defense to do whatever you feel like.

I’m going to just assume you’re being obtuse for the fun of it.

While I agree with your general sentiment that’s a huge false equivalency. Obama didn’t walk in and shoot those babies, he just couldn’t get anything done about it. Trump and co. will be the ones holding the smoking guns in however they inevitably fuck up.

Idk I still have faith that sooner rather than later they will do something so magnanimously stupid there’s no walking it back. Like at least we’re lucky they’ve proven to be so incompetent they can’t even be devious.

I was recently on a train to Japan and there was dog-train drama. Some lady brought her dog (in a crate) and sat down next to a businessman in first class, putting her dog on the front tray essentially trapping the guy in from the window seat. He was clearly very upset/bothered by the dog but didn’t want to be rude,…

I assume this would only be an issue at places where people don’t have easy access to cash on hand. When I carhopped at Sonic this was super annoying because we weren’t supposed to carry more than $40 or so in change in our aprons, so someone breaking a $100 on a $1.07 coke meant I had to stop what I was doing and go…

I doubt they would or could actually deny someone meeting the other state requirements to graduate. I worked at a high school that frequently threatened “withholding a diploma” for discipline or whatever issues, but really they could only withhold the piece of paper at the ceremony/keep them from walking the stage. I…

Nope, even if you say Hillary was easily the “lesser evil” that puts her and Trump on the same plane of comparison, when they weren’t even on the same planet. Hillary was an establishment Democrat who probably would have been a continuation of the Obama years with an edge pointing toward some liberal progress as far…

She also has that “vaguely feminist but still devoted wife and soccer mom” cachet but that’s a crowded market and a harder sell.

No. If he were competent that would already be happening.

What’s baffling to me is the overlap of racist conservatives who support Cosby. I guess the common thread is deep-rooted misogyny, but still. When you wake up in the morning and have to pick which group of people you’d rather shit on that day.

You seem stable.

A-motherfucking-men. The “but Pence is worse!” narrative is ridiculous. We have someone jeopardizing literally the political stability of the entire world every day, who is too incompetent, careless and selfish to give a shit about the lasting repercussions. Nothing can be worse than that.

Moral of the story: don’t be a rude asshole blowing vape where other people have no choice but to breathe it. You don’t need a scientific study to defend it, just be courteous to other people.

This news cycle is exhausting but at least each fresh story that plunges Trump further down his shit hole lets a little hope live.

Ryan is not going to carry Trump’s base. They tapped into this core of racist, selfish shitbags who feel like the rules don’t matter. Those people are not going to settle quietly back into supporting a Jeb or Ryan. The GOP is fucked and they’re just clinging to their majority at this point.
