I have zero patience for John McCain trying to cash in his “I’m the reasonable Republican!” chips on his deathbed.

What happens when she has to vote and the baby starts crying?

Here is the thing, you live in a society. Paying some of your taxes towards the health and well being of children and those who care for children is an investment that benefits you, perhaps indirectly, but directly in ways that you may not realize. I am sure you have very good, sound reasons for not having children…

Fascinating.

As a professional archaeologist, no. In my field and others, pop-culture, fluff pieces and the like allow for people to act like what usually requires a minimum six-year education and years of field experience is the same as watching a program on PBS.

Some of the worst misogynists and supporters of the patriarchy I have met are women.

It would have made a fantastic Cohen brother’s movie.

I’m not a fan of Comey, but I agree with him that impeachment is the wrong way to go.

Also, I think my religious upbringing is causing some weird kinks because I so would with Comey, Ryan and all these other republicans! Gaaah.

That most likely true of all of his Tweets. All of which shall be published in the Library of Congress for generations to see.

Statistically very few people attempt to scam the government for extra or more food stamps or assistance. Probably because the payoff is so little that if you are a talented scam artist it’s just not worth it.
