2018: “FUUUUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!”

My week sucked. I was mugged the other day and lost my bag, purse, keys. I had to wait 3 hours for the council to gain entry to my flat, then the food bank couldn’t help me and I was not in the mood to argue the fact, I was weepy and upset. I nearly put my phone in pawn to afford to get through the next few weeks but…

Truly.  I’ll be interested to hear what Joni Ernst has to say about this.

Amazing

“Конечно, янв.”

Presumably the constant headlines about her being vegetative or comatose, when apparently she is neither.

The guy beat Rihanna senseless when this woman was 14. She may not even be that familiar with who he is and thought he was just some random baller in the club. It is never anybody’s fault in any way shape or form for being raped or abused and I will also have sympathy for those that are.

No, not obviously at all. Most of the general public is not going to consider the grey area here. They’re going to think that “solved” means that the perpetrator was found and punished to the full extent of the law. And then they’re going to use those inflated numbers to blame women for not going to the police sooner…

what’s known as exceptional clearance. Federal guidelines allow police to use the classification when they have enough evidence to make an arrest and know who and where the suspect is, but can’t make an arrest for reasons outside their control.

I was at a funeral with him on Saturday and he looked normal and was a real nice dude. 

Fuck I love Diana Rigg.

All of this is true but just imagine if he was a black kid and what they would have said to her.

seriously, this is like every public transit pet peeve of mine rolled up into one package. Eating on the train? Loudly screaming/woo-hoo-ing? Littering your piñata confetti and silly string all over? Like, you’re not the only person on the planet and this shit is not cute, it’s hella inconsiderate.

I don’t want this stupid birthday party on my commute. Nope. And I don’t want the Showtime dancers either. I want an uneventful ride where I sit quietly with my headphones. I never want to be smacked in the face by a flying Showtime foot, but I ESPECIALLY don’t want to smell your train lobster. Beat it, all of you.

People from other cities make fun of the rules on the DC Metro that prohibit food and drinks.  Imagine, though, if the above described party ended with a group of transit police officers handcuffing and frog marching the birthday girl and her friends off the train.  Come on, admit it.  You’d have cheered for the cops.

This smacks of forced fun. But I hated my lunch so I'm out of sorts.

What struck me most reading the NY Times article was the woman who said “Nobody would expect this in Thousand Oaks”. My answer to that is.. really? Because I expect it there. And here where I am. And the tiny town I am from. At this point, I find it bizarre to ever be surprised by this stuff happening anywhere. 

Jim. Acosta is a well-known reporter.

Why are we letting this administration do these things like they’re normal?
