Federal pardons are only for Federal crimes.

I know the Penguins (and presumably other franchises) at least used to have a program called “Student Rush” where anyone who showed up with a student ID could get an unsold ticket for $20. You could end up with really good seats this way. Not sure how they determined who got what seat. My lone time doing this was in…

That’s a pretty brutal thing to say to a person who’s suffered miscarriage or stillbirth. I’ve suffered more for my children than most women who have carried to term and given birth. I am definitely a mother. 

YUP. Even if she fucked up, she still pulled the trigger (TWICE FFS).

There is more to it than this. Can we read the story in a real newspaper at least?! Oh look! It's also being covered in the Washington Post!

He’s directly responsible for a measles outbreak in a Minnesota Somali community where he spoke about the “dangers” of vaccination.  It lead to a dramatic drop in immunizations rates, and the resulting measles outbreak.  How he hasn’t been charged with reckless endangerment I’ll never know.

The previous position was literally investigations and raids to ferret out and dishonorably discharge LGBT people. This was definitely “allowing” them. It’s a shitty policy now, but it was pretty damn good for 1994. And again, I don’t know who you think you’re trying to explain this to. As I’ve said, I’m gay and I was…

Good riddance, but if he wants to take Kraft and Roethlisberger with him, I wouldn’t object.

That’s how civil rights work. They’re never granted wholesale, and they have to fought for bit by bit because the majority will never just grant them. Source: I don’t have to imagine being gay in 1994.

Progress doesn’t mean perfection. There will always be more to do. To pretend that allowing LGBT people in the military in 1994 wasn’t progressive when 25 years later I still can’t donate blood is pretty naive.

This. Republicans succeeded at creating a wedge issue with gays in the military early in President Clinton’s presidency. DADT was the result: Clinton was able to carve out that wiggle room. For the time, it was progress, and it helped lead to where we are now.

Frankly the black girl has the least messy hair compared to the other models in this campaign so I really don’t get the outrage this time.

(Sorry, this wasn’t supposed to be a reply for this BS comment, but )ALSO:

But there’s nothing even wrong with her hair, she’s just wearing it up, wtf is this commenter talking about? All these kids look like.... kids. I think this may be one of the most honest (looking) campaigns they’ve had.

That’s a lot to lay on the tiny shoulders of a child. Do you feel this much “ire” every time you see a white girl with a messy bun? All children look unkempt after running around and playing all day, but only Black children get maligned as a disgrace to their entire race for doing what kids do. Can they ever just live…

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

They all look so cute because they look LIKE KIDS. No child is going to sit still enough to have perfectly kempt hair everyday. I wish more people would just log off.

People have way to much time on their hands to be outraged at this. People need to step away from the computer and go outside.

It’s not fair that some little girls can wake up in the morning & throw their hair in a ponytail or throw on a headband & out they go. But god forbid you’re a little black girl & do that. Leave little kids alone to not be stressed out about their dang hair! It’s hair damn it!!!!!

This isn’t a new thing. I remember all the shit that Gabby Douglas got at the Olympics, mostly from older black women, for not having perfectly styled hair. Girl is doing a back flip on a piece of wood 4 inches wide and landing on one foot, who gives a fuck what her hair looks like?
