Also, a plea from my (Canadian) tea-drinking mother: please don’t use ice tea as the default tea. “Tea” is hot tea. Ice tea is ice tea.

So I’ve been doing it wrong all this time. I’ll make sure to brush up before I’ll have even an apostle’s chance in hell of meeting Kate Middleton.

That’s OK.

“DePino said that there were people in the store who said they hadn’t purchased anything for hours and had no issue.”

Can I give kudos to Ms. Depino for speaking to Monique rather than giving her accounts to the likes of CNN or any other “mainstream” news source?

“If things are okay for me then surely they must be okay for everyone because this is a great country and we live in a just world.”

“DePino said she was asked by more than one person if it was possible the men had done something she hadn’t seen; if maybe they had been recognized because they had been to the same Starbucks on a different day and caused trouble; if it was possible she hadn’t seen the entire incident.”

Keep fighting the good fight. We actually do need more white folks to call out other white folks on their bullshit.

They don’t see it because they don’t want to.

You right wing snowflakes are so funny. If you actually read any of the discussions about guns, most of them are fairly rational. There are kneejerk dipshits on both sides, but there’s quite a bit of civil discussion.

...then the big firms wouldn’t take him and/or he couldn’t afford them.

I like to keep a couple packs of baby wipes in any kit: they are good for all manner of personal hygiene.

Technically, Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a “one-party consent” law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the…

Michael Cohen is based in New York. New York is a one party consent state, meaning only one party of a phone conversation needs to be aware of the recording for it to be legal. Thus, if Cohen knew he was recording others, it was legal.

At least something positive came out of it: Chaffetz is GONE!!!! HAHAHA!!!

Yeah. He’s 6'8. Probably almost everyone he knows has smaller hands than him, which accounts for the “not unusually smaller” comment. But also, he’s likely a poor judge of hand size in that case, since it’s hard to believe he’s been consciously judging every hand he knows and breaking them down in to sizes. Likely,…

I agree. But Comey was not the one who leaked the letter to the press. Chaffetz did. Chaffetz also mischaracterized the Comey letter, making it look way worse than it was. Arguably, Comey’s mistake was in thinking he could write a letter to the intelligence committee and expect the republicans on it to maintain the…

Problem is they aren’t “takedowns,” it’s just petty bullshit that does nothing to undo the damage of installing Trump in the first place. Comey is bad.

Agree in general with what you’ve said, but a big reason i like the chat function is that you have an audit trail of the conversation (providing that a copy is sent to you or you can save it at the conclusion of the convo). I hate calling up customer service and saying something like, “the last rep i talked to…
