Aye, I hear them saying that all the time on the pages they link and comment on. “I’m not paying for everyone else’s healthcare when they can’t be bothered working.” and so on. It’s nauseatingly short sighted.

“But that’s because the people who die from having no insurance are not around to tell their stories.”

This is like that story about WWII airplanes. People were seeing these planes come back full of holes, and they were like, well we need armor where all the holes are. No, you need armor where the holes *aren’t.* The…

I am happy to pay my National Insurance contributions and would be happy for it to increase to be safe in the knowledge that when my daughters have babies, or get sick, or if I need more medical care, I don’t have to bankrupt myself just to get the help I need.

The biggest lie Americans, especially conservatives, love to tell ourselves is the one about self-determination and self-reliance.

This past year has been THE YEAR OF DISAPPOINTMENT, in nearbout everyone and everything. This Slate article today pretty much sums up my life right now: https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/01/my-pop-culture-diet-since-november-2016-has-been-absolute-unadulterated-crap.html

If ABC is paying for Chris Christie in anything more expensive than packs of footlong hot dogs, they’re getting ripped off.

It’s the end of January. If in five months this teacher couldn’t develop a working rapport with a seven-year-old to avoid or mitigate a situation like this, the teacher should be fired.

As long as it doesn’t interfere with his official duties as Donald Trump’s food delivery boy, I’m sure it’ll work out fine.

When I was in 3rd grade, I accidentally lost track of time on Halloween night. My parents were terrified, so they called the police. I was found walking near a field with a friend. However, the cop hopped out of his car like he was ready for a firefight (hiding behind his door with gun drawn). We dropped our candy…

Maybe these asshats were never funny to begin with?

I find the whole “we can’t joke about what’s happening in the world with people getting offended!” line so disingenuous because there are countless comedians making a living joking about what happening in the world in a thoughtful way. What they really mean is “no one find ME and MY casual bigotry funny anymore, and…

Fucking sissies, we tarred and feathered the JV squad and they loved it.. Kids these days..

Yeah, the money just picked her up and carried her. :-/

Remarkably stupid comment, thank you.

Britt McHenry made me side with a tow trucking company. I hate her for that.

Release whatever you got, Britt. We’d all love to see it.

For me the modern day interludes slow the game to a crawl and I just rush through them as fast as I can to get back into the period stuff. I’m Cleopatra’s personal assassin and I get to hang out with Julius Caesar, then I get transported to some Egyptian cave in 2017 so I can do a fetch quest? It’s never worked for…

Nope. He’s an absolute fucking dumbass with no limits. You really can’t make this shit up.

Am I the only one who finds the idea of going to an international meeting of world leaders to explain “America First” to them amusing?

“Donald Trump gave a speech at Davos trumpeting his whole “America first!!!” shtick, then pivoted to yet another excoriation of the “fake news media,” the latter of which was met with boos and hisses from the crowd. Buddy, read a fucking room.”
