This story quoted Nguyen’s husband as saying she held on to the back of the car. My comments were based on that.

The agreements we all “agree to” with businesses from banks to schools to rewards clubs all have language which allows them to change the agreement on a whim. At any time. At their sole discretion.

My 9 year old daughter was having a difficult time getting out of the bed today, only a few days back to school after Christmas break. Her amazement when I showed her a few of the pictures of these extraordinary women woke her right up.

Someone, I think Pelosi’s spokesperson, commented on Twitter (I think) that passing Pay-Go was necessary to give Congress more control of funding, since there is a similar mechanism already in place with more restrictions than the version of Pay-Go they propose.

“Not much wiggle room if they consider this a felony murder, since this death occurred during another crime, theft. Nevada has robbery as part of the conditions, and the death was a direct result of the crime, even if it was unintentional. She could be facing the death penalty.”

You are correct that margins aren’t always thin partly because workers are so often exploited. In my earlier post, I included the caveat “if employees are paid properly”.

“Tiffany Haddish has never been funny. She’s always exhibited wild, exaggerated antics, but has never told any jokes that, like Katt Williams has said, can sustain an audience for a single hour. She has sporadic one-liners, but no sustaining “joke narratives.” “

“What’s that just dropped on the floor?”

Also would have helped if the FBI had bothered to investigate any of the supporting accusations instead of simply classifying them as “unfounded”.

“What the hell WAS that? And why was it even scheduled? There is something strange going on here.”

“This country’s political polarization is ruining our common sense and basic decency”

“But apply your reasoning to airline pilots. What’s the acceptable BAC limit for your pilot? For mine it’s 0.000"

I’ll confess that I’ve been guilty of not taking “don’t drink and drive” seriously enough during my club hopping days.

“And got off virtually scot-free despite a history of burglary, larceny, DUIs, domestic battery, possession of marijuana, public drunkenness, felony possession of methamphetamine, possession of paraphernalia, obstruction, and a bunch of other absurd shit.

Fun fact: Due to previous “austerity” legislation, some Secret Service agents were gonna be working without pay even without the shut down.

They only get paid because Congress passed legislation last week guarantying that they would. I’m not the only one who remembers that Congress almost refused to do so on a previous shut down, am I?

Prince performing PURPLE RAIN *in the mufreaking rain*, yet still absolutely slaying the song? YES!!! That was an amazing show to watch on TV. I can’t imagine how amazing it would have been to watch it in the stadium.
