I’m familiar with military personnel using LSD because it’s not as likely to get picked up on drug tests, but also smoking weed and filming yourself sort of defeats the pragmatic benefits of that.  

I dunno. I kind of want one now just to Commemorate how massive of a foreign policy blunder this was. It seems like the sort of thing that shows up on a “Mysteries at the Museum” episode 50 years from now. “Did you know that before World War 3, the most unpopular President in American history blew a chance for peace…

In full disclosure I’m a real property lawyer and haven’t thought about Employment Discrimination since my 3L year last decade, but more than a First Amendment case, I think this has the makings of a disparate impact claim based on discrimination by race and viewpoint. Normally, that’s the type of action an employee…

This is honestly what makes it hard for me to even engage anymore.

It’s not just one day every two years. I was the Democratic appointee to a County Election board for several years. We had elections 11 days in one year. School board and bond issues would get scheduled for their own issues. People left state office when they got jobs in the Trump administration. We had special…

I’m always reminded of the quote attributed to H.L. Mencken at times like this, “no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.”

I like that when I google “blue dress shirt with white collar name” the first thing that comes up is not “contrast collar” but “The Asshole Collar.”

Now this is good Kinja!

Once you have to pay retail to replace a smart phone you broke through an Otterbox after hurling it against the side of your local federal building in disgust, I find that you tend to learn techniques to restrain those urges better.

Agreed. In my mind you can’t judge a post presidency so soon. You need time to recharge and figure out what you want to do. He’s got two teenage daughters, one in college. It’s a stressful time for any parent. Also, I don’t think he, or anyone else, really knows how to react to Trump. Trump is actively calling for an…

If I wanted to juxtapose a brown President and an orange President, “Shade” would not have been my go to title.

I believe they need 6 more. I too am utterly petrified by this possibility. I agree with the original posters in this thread that something is broken, but a Constitutional Convention now, with Conservatives controlling as many state legislatures as they do, would probably make things worse. We could easily come out of…

I agree with you historically, and it doesn’t seem like anyone talks about Greece anymore, but back when it’s financial crisis was front page news, I seem to remember their Neo-Nazi political movement picking up steam.

Clearly, I’m not living my best WASP life.

But how will our children grow strong to fight never ending war in the Middle East if we don’t start training them with live fire early?

Well said. I’m probably going to steal this:

Everyone quick, we can finally have a discussion on the posts about Middle East policy without getting interrupted with Islamophobic rants!

Read Jeffrey Eugenides’s novel “Middlesex” if you want a personal view of what this is like. Not everyone is born with complete male or female genitalia. Roughly 1 out of every 20,000 people is born with some combination of both genitalia, or genitalia that is neither fully female or male. Doctors traditionally picked…
