You’re amazing, not only for this glorious paragraph, but also because you have Captain Janeway as your avatar (obviously the BEST Star Trek captain).

which is which?!?!?!?!

The entire Republican party An American president is actively rooting for the collapse of our national health care system - a collapse that would put tens of millions of Americans at risk - in the name of political points.

Yeah, that and it’s totally out-dated. It’s like bringing back blacksmiths at the expense of having actual factories. Or bringing back the rotary phone so you can employ rotary phone makers. Even if you want to willfully deny the enormous (and growing!) empirical evidence of anthropogenic climate change, there is a…

Obama did not “take things away” from rural, white Americans. Clearly, rural, white Americans also benefitted from the ACA. The Republican strategy for years has been to create the illusion that making things equal for everyone means “taking things away” from privileged groups, which in reality is not the case.

Yes, but isn’t this the oldest story in United States history? So long as you can keep the illusion that one group (white males) has it slightly better than all those other jerks (blacks, Latinos, other people of color, uppity women) you can get away with nearly anything? This has been an active strategy on both the…

Maybe the point is we should stop encouraging the use and extraction of oil, and switch to a form of energy that does not damage the environment as bad.

The Obama/Clinton socialist caliphate of course.

Crocs with socks? Seriously, you shouldn’t even leave the house, unless you are three.

Honestly, to me, it’s more about my kid being an adult and thinking “I am thirsty, I should drink some water.” I am 33, and throughout my childhood no one told me to just drink water. It was always juice, some form of cola product, or milk, in that order. So now, sometimes water just doesn’t seem that great, or…

Erectile dysfunction treatments. And probably prostate cancer prevention. That’s about it.

All that said, with it so fresh in my mind, Joseph Fiennes is too young to be the Commander. Whoever is playing Serena Joy is also too young. Ann Dowd is perfect as Aunt Lydia, though.

Which is ironic, because Rand was an avid supporter of a woman’s right to choose.*

The problem with this protest is that it assumes that members of the Texas state legislature and supporters of this bill are readers.

When the video of him getting punched came out, my three year old was confused! I explained that almost always punching others is wrong. Unless the person you are punching is a Nazi, and this man is a Nazi. If you ever meet someone who says they are a Nazi, it is fine, if not encouraged, to punch them.

So long as they keep people stupid and mad at some amorphous “other” with skin different from their own, the Republicans will destroy everything that is good about this country.

Ultimately, it’s when the kid decides they are ready. Either that or bribe them with candy, but I always felt like it was sending the wrong Pavlovian type message when parents were like “when they used the potty I just gave them M&Ms! worked like a charm!”

They are useful for the first few months of non-diapers for overnights so you don’t have to clean as many sheets. That’s about it.

YES. SO MUCH THIS.

Your country had a serious racism problem before Trump, but now that he is president, it has now become legitimized and tolerated.
