Everyone is acting like Flake and Corker are heroes, but they are cowards. They could stay in office and vote their consciences and help control republican damage. Instead, they just quit.

I’ve said it before, but every quote from him reads like he is having a stroke that exact moment.

It’s really pathetic seeing these senior republicans and their political deathbed conversions. They all know they’re on the wrong side of history but they can’t find the guts to stand up to the worst president in history until they are literally halfway out the door.

“(...) the profound love I have for my wife, my boys and my Catholic faith.”

I don’t want to be sacred. I want men to keep their hands, and their laws, off my pussy. You think you’re helping, Kelly, but you’re not.

Actually the staff at Jezebel introduced the series as a way to show CPS going overboard, and intervening when they shouldn’t.

I work as a baby sitter and this summer I had to call CPS on one of the families I was working for. Because they are wealthy and pretty well known, CPS did nothing! When I was hired, I had to tell the mother the kid needed new clothing. He was one and pretty big for his age and I found him wearing 3mo size pants. His…

If you know using drugs, neglecting your children, or not feeding your children could result in them being taken away, and you don’t want them taken away, don’t do those things. Kids deserve to be fed, cared for, and raised in a drug-free environment. It’s astonishing to me how horrible some parents are and even those…

Five years ago, when my daughter turned 9, we had a birthday party for her at our apartment complex’s pool. We rented out the clubhouse for cake and punch and pizza, but the pool remained open to all the residents.

Rolling Stone has yet to apologize for putting this piece of shit on their cover.

Very relatedly: 46% of voters think the media fabricates news stories out of whole cloth, according to a depressing new Politico/Morning Consult poll.

“He knew what he signed up for...”

He had almost two weeks to have his staff write up a small speech that would have been adequate. It’s not like he ran into this lady on the street. His lack of preparedness is PART of the problem.

He’s not articulate but if he would recognize this weakness and rely on his speech writers and other staff members to help him craft his remarks he could avoid sounding like an asshole.

So first of all, saying “he knew what he signed up for,” in any event, is a pretty cavalier way and informal way to express that sentiment to the widow of a fallen soldier, and given he had two weeks to prepare for this moment, and has any number of advisers who can help him feign empathy, it’s really not an excuse.

See, it reads to me like he’s just desperately getting his excuses in FIRST... and then his condolences.

I really wonder what the breaking point is here. How badly does he have to screw up for someone in power to say “Ok, you’re done.”. He’s gotten away with so many things that any normal person would have been crucified for. What makes this idiot so invulnerable?

I think the fact that he felt the need to express that he’s Canadian or French or whatever implies that he knew it was weird and was looking for a pass.

Man, that’s a horrible idea. We should give the totalitarians the keys so that we can prove how horrible they are? Nope. Quit being a fundamentalist.

Worth more than what? Some fucking nutbar going unhinged in the middle of the night and starting a nuclear war with North Korea? No, your soul is not worth more than that. In fact, standing in the middle of the dumpster fire and keeping an eye on the button requires way more of a soul than running away because the…
