This is my problem. Whenever my face starts to hurt from clenching my teeth and I realize I haven’t stopped maniacally going between Twitter and the Washington Post, I put my phone away. But then I go back 2 hours later and it takes me another 4 to catch up. Something’s gotta give, though, I’m losing my mind.

He always looks like he just woke up after sleeping 14 hours on the heels of a 5 day bender.

And if they dared yell back “obstructionists!”, a) who gives a goddamn shit? and b) hello, Supreme Court vacancy that I still can’t believe we allowed to remain vacant for almost a year.

“I will be fine...” That’s (allgedly) not a very “Bernie Bro” thing for him to say.

Thank you. I just came to write the same thing. See, it’s these kinds of arguments that actually make me glad I went to law school. Other times, not so much.

Yep. I just heard an ACLU rep speak in Chicago yesterday and she suggested that those of us who live in larger metro areas donate to the ACLUs in small, red cities and locales. They need help.

Hold up. Before I get completely excorciated, allow me to fall on the sword. I was reading it today on my phone from a work meeting and didn’t properly vet it. I’m a mom to a 10 yr old and she has friends who have FB pages so I didn’t find it out of the realm of possibility. My off-hand comment to someone here isn’t…

Which was why I wrote “Assuming this is true”. I have no idea if it’s true and all I’m saying is even if it is, who cares?

I thought that, too, until someone on my Facebook feed shared something from Barron’s FB page. Ugh.

Just came here to write the same thing. Assuming this was true, let’s talk about the Koch brothers and how they’ve bought off half the country, including its corporations and governmental bodies? The more defensive we get about this, the worse we look. We don’t have anything to be defensive about.

This, 100%. They know that many women aren’t aware they are pregnant at 6 weeks. This is their oh-so-clever way of getting the Supremes to hear it because these types of bills have already either been vetoed (Kasich, but not because he’s a good person. He had ulterior motives.) or declared unconstitutional. If there’s…

I do, too, and this is going to haunt me for a long, long time. The word “heartbreaking” doesn’t come close to describing this.

Jesus fucking Christ. Are we now going to argue that throwing yourself down a flight of steps is somehow more palatable than using a wire hangar? How about we focus on the point of this entire discussion, which is the importance of preserving a woman’s right to choose and making that right accessible to all women,…

The state of Tennessee threw any charge at her that they could possibly throw, straight-faced or not. If she was an addict, don’t you think she would have been charged with something related to that?

Word. Although I’m dating one now and I swore I never would. In all fairness, he’s a contract lawyer because he’s unemployed, so I think my track record of no lawyers still kinda stands.

Wait a minute. The deputy attorney general doesn’t think that this piece of shit football player, who trapped an African-American kid with “mental disabilities” in the locker room so he could sodomize him with a wire hangar after singing KKK songs to him, should suffer the consequences of being labeled a sexual…

I get it, I just brought it up because I would think any school - public or private - would do more diligence before handing out cash.

Totally. Seems like a big risk to take when you’re not a school with a golf program in a warm weather state.

Keep in mind that Loyola gave him a scholarship to attend. The level of scrutiny schools typically use when offering a scholarship is really heightened. I was on an athletic scholarship at a Big Ten university and though the process may not be exactly the same, I’m guessing Loyola did a similar deep dive into this…

They specifically left out an exception for rape or incest, so there’s no way a doctor could get around this using issues with the mother’s mental health. This whole thing makes me fucking en fuego.
