The President lies like a preschooler who’s sneaked cookies from the cookie jar, but claims he hasn’t, even though there are cookie crumbs all over his face. Only in this case, the cookies are his claim that he’s no business dealings with the Saudis, and the crumbs are the readily-available records that show they’ve…

My grandparents on both sides were what you refer to as “poor, uneducated, no skill people,” not through any fault of their own, but because they lacked opportunities in their home countries. Their children (my mom and dad) were a school teacher and the owner of a successful business. My sister is an electrical…

It’s like an antidote to all the hate, lies and cruelty to read about decent and caring people performing acts of kindness for others. Heartfelt thanks to you, and all the people you work with.

I don’t think anyone said anything about cages, but as someone who’s lived with bipolar disorder for most of my life, I’d devoutly hope that my friends and family would take me gently by the hand and get me to my doctor’s office before I acted like this in public or anywhere else. I’m not a fan of Kanye West, but I…

O.M.G.

In job interviews, especially interviews for high-responsibility jobs, it’s common for difficult questions or stressful situations to arise during the process. In order to make it through, it’s usually recommended that the interviewee to tell the truth, keep a clear head, maintain emotional control, and not insult or…

In my humble time in HR, I conducted a number of of job interviews. Although all the jobs required honesty and good people skills, they weren’t for a lifetime appointment to the frickin’ Supreme Court. I NEVER would have hired someone who lied so obviously and displayed such a lack of emotional control. I wouldn’t…

You describe the way my grandfather, then my older uncles, came to the U.S. They were unskilled, uneducated, and didn’t read or speak English. The younger children, including my father, the youngest, followed several years later, with my grandmother. In my mind, staying in the homeland with aunts, uncles, grandparents…

I’d have to seriously question any background checks that may have already been done, because it sounds as if he and his buddies have continued their frat boy shenanigans into middle age, with excessive drinking, gambling, rampant lying even under oath (ignored, of course, by his Republican enablers), and only…

I grew up in a small town with no crime and two police officers who mostly existed to do presentations at schools and respond to fender benders. on the highway. Nothing in my life had prepared me for being raped, or for what happened to women who reported the crime. A rape report, then and now, doesn’t mean…

Actually, I doubt she was cool with it. If she knew, I imagine she was horrified, but do you imagine it’s easy to speak truth to power, or even come forward at all? It takes many victims YEARS to talk about what happened even to their spouse, their therapist or their mom.

So tell me, when you came forward thirty years ago to tell your personal story about being sexually assaulted, how did that go for you? Were you listened to and treated professionally by the authorities? Was evidence taken? Was your assailant arrested and brought to justice?

No one said a word about locking anyone up. However, there a huge difference between locking someone up and denying them a highly responsible job.

I live in Washington, where medical and recreational cannabis are legal, and frequently visit Vancouver, B.C., where they’re also legal. I don’t smoke weed, myself, just as a matter of personal taste, but at my doctor’s suggestion, I use an external CBD oil salve—that doesn’t contain anything that would get anyone…

I know a certain young man who came from a “2-parent intact family” and often shoplifted. His parents were abusive alcoholics, and the two kids would be beaten if they asked for food. In order to save his little sister from beatings or going hungry, he learned to be a competent shoplifter. I have to wonder if anyone…

About an hour after the first announcement, it was clarified that Manafort’s plea deal includes anything and everything they want to ask him, no exceptions.

Tucker is that guy from your high school...only 25 years have gone by, everyone else has grown up, and he hasn’t changed.

As my sister and I like to say, “It’s just not the holidays without guilt, jealousy, seething anger and alcoholism!” Individually, I loved many of my family members. Collectively, they were The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I think I need warnings before a picture like that, because I literally recoiled from the screen in mid-scroll and geysered beer into my eye. Talk about a depiction of pure evil!

Of course The Occupant would use the “r-word” and also not have the slightest idea how offensive it is, not only to people with intellectual disabilities (many of whom follow the news, vote, and are active in politics) but to their families, the people who love them, and... oh, I don’t know... anyone who hasn’t…
