You seem so certain here, I can only assume you’re a well educated expert.

Well she seems to be making a lot of people laugh. I’m sorry you aren’t not laughing too. Just because you aren’t doesn’t mean the rest of us are hyping her because she is a black woman. We are hyping her because her comedy fucking does it for us! People like different things!

Exactly! I feel like there are waaaaay more examples of mediocre white guys reaching new heights than any other group. Even not particularly talented white ladies are usually super gorgeous, e.g. Blake Lively.

My favorite Drunk History: Octavia Spencer as Harriet Tubman.

>Im also tired of people tearing their hair out to prop up medium talent people just because of their sex/race.

I had mine at 39. My BFF was 45. It wasn’t the quickest route in either case, but our kids are 6 and 7 now. Let hope live!

Is it sad to say that as an extremely single 33 year old, the fact that she’s 49 and having a baby gives me real hope that I might be able to do this?

Are you being serious? This woman is an Iraq war veteran who lost her fucking legs piloting a helicopter that went down and you’re going to drag her like that? Consider your bullshit before you share it, please.

What a ridiculously uncharitable reading. She explicitly says she cared about it, but noticed new things about the issues when she was undergoing it herself. This is natural, and exactly why we want all kinds of diversity in our representative bodies. She never refused to sign an airport breastfeeding bill - she just…

Okay, we have to elect her president now. Then she can be the first person to give birth in The House, The Senate and The White House.

Leftists will have us shutdown the govt. Get no CHIP and no DACA. For how long though? 2 weeks? A month? And they will still say the Dems caved weeks later.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeah, its sort of an important consideration here. While DACA is still urgent (the court order only applies to those who already have DACA, but it would expire after the deadline, so there are still going to be a lot of people who only qualify for DACA after the deadline that are screwed), the court order keeps…

I’m amazed that there are still people who think there’s any depth to which the GOP wouldn’t sink. They would happily destroy CHIP along with the rest of the social safety net in order to cover the hole they’ve blown in the deficit because that’s what they’ve been wanting to do all along. It’s kind of interesting how…

The GOP weren’t about to abolish CHIP. They used it as leverage against the Dems and played it well.

Stig-a-saw-us-wrecks, I’m with you on this one. Repubs were forced to give up their bargaining CHIP (pun intended) and reauthorize. People keep saying they were gonna do that anyway. Not sure where they get that from since the GOP is known for voting against things they support if it wins them a few political points.

The new hotness: Democrats sold out PoC for CHIP.

I get the feeling you’d see this same article somewhere out there if CHIP continued to go unfunded while Dems held out for DACA. We’d be talking about how Dems don’t give a shit about poor children of color and how our future generations are always left high and dry in favor of a political stunt. I bet it’s a draft…

I really do hate the whole “School Resource Officer” title because it is misleading as hell. It’s an armed police officer stationed in a school tasked with policing children as if they are in juvenile detention or something...not some education professional who is there as a resource of any kind to assist with the…

This is a thing more white people have to do for white people; be real. Just keep it 100. Call out their skinfolk and ask them to do better.
