In order to volunteer at any of the schools in our school district, you have to fill out an application which includes permission for them to do a background check. I am of the hope that ‘former serial killer’ would preclude someone from volunteering.

Helicopter parenting is bad and you can’t shelter them from bad stuff in the world too much but I feel like “I don’t want my children interacting with a known serial killer” is a fairly reasonable request?

I appreciate his honesty.

I don’t understand how conservatives can be anti-choice. It’s so much cheaper to not force people to carry unwanted pregnancies out and then pay for all of the corresponding costs, than to simply have unfettered access to abortions. It makes no sense. They assign more value to keeping women down than they do to…

He got made fun of over night because of that stupid typo and this is the retaliation. He’s a spiteful sociopath.

I’m not terribly educated on these matters, but isn’t there something called to the effect of separation of church and state that says this shouldn’t be a thing?

I hope you’re prepping an article about This Asshole also letting it out that he’s planning to withdraw from the Paris Accord, making the US into a carbon pariah alongside Syria and Nicaragua. HuffPo (sigh) is pointing out that the economic sanctions alone will be a massive blow to the US economy, nevermind the…

Isn’t it weird how “pro-life” leaders work so hard to increase the abortion rate? It’s almost like their commitment to pro-life policies only extends to passing laws regulating what women can do with their bodies, and not to actually reducing the number of abortions (let alone supporting non-fetal life).

How long should a people allow a confirmed enemy of all humanity to remain in control of their country? Isn’t it a dereliction of our duty not to storm the gates, damn the consequences?

I imagine that the death-by-1000-cruelties method is that which keeps him interested in the job. Whenever his interest starts flagging, his advisers remind him that disabled children are about to have their adaptive aid budget gutted, or that nobody will be around to investigative sexual harassment, or that…

Word on the street is that republican senators are using this recess’s town halls to determine whether or not they will take up the AHCA. So pageantry it may be, good sir, but that doesn’t mean there arent scholarships on the line.

Come up with a new way for a rep to have face to face contact with his constituents and I’ll consider this one obsolete. They spend more than enough time away from home or only talking to people who give them scads of money, there needs to be at least something where the average person can somewhat easily get out and…

Well, it’s kind of funny that the Republicans (the first to complain about “safe spaces” and “snowflakes”) run away like scared rabbits at the thought of being confronted by their constituents. It’s like these people don’t think they’re answerable to anybody or something.

Do I expect a purple state Democrat to show up to a senior center and get bellowed at for 2 hours before fielding her third question?

There is no proof that town halls are being filled by out of town constituents. That’s just a lie being spread by the right wing to devalue the opposition and here you are spreading that very same lie. Stop it.

Well considering a lot of reps have started requiring ID that shows you live in their district to attend...

It’s like a congressional crank call.

Also going up to the roof “to take pictures” when you were just on the ground and could have taken them then.

Is Darrell Issa having a breakdown? Calling the reporter unprompted and then hanging up on him is suuuuper weird.
