I applaud the Obama administration for this move. She has suffered enough, that’s become extremely apparent. I doubt she would have survived another year or two, let alone the remaining thirty years of her sentence.

Thank god. From a legal perspective, I have no doubt that the French court reached the right decision; her life was certainly not imminently threatened and the law, for very good reasons, restricts the availability of self-defense as a protection to a murder charge. So yes, I think she was guilty of murder under the…

Kind of hard to drop by when most of my family and friends live a 1000 miles away on the other side of the country.

This is a bad lawsuit and the lawyers involved should feel bad.

Similar to the suit against Cinemark after the Aurora shooting, this seems like another case of scuzzy lawyers taking advantage of a tragedy for cash.

Denise Juneau, a Native American woman who identifies as a lesbian, is running and polling very closely with her Republican incumbent opponent for the sole Representative seat that Montana has in the House. If she wins, she would be the first Native American woman in Congress.

I think one of Congresswoman Rankin’s quotes is particularly apropos:

It blows my mind that Montana was progressive, and quite so, once upon a time.

The cold shoulder I get from the moms is very chilly.

I’m not buying any of this feigned shock and outrage at Trump from “traditional” “family values” or “fiscal conservative” republicans; this man represents the values that the party has been promoting for quite some time. Xenophobia, a culture of misogyny and oppressively sexist policies, racism, homophobia, religious…

Because her mom has every legal right to write about her life, including her daughter. What legal basis would there be for *preventing* a mother from writing about her deceased daughter?

Really? Do you know nothing about her background? She was one of 20 students in the world granted early acceptance to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Surely a professional musician can call someone like that more than a “glorified karaoke singer”? Here she is at 18 performing while at NYU:

There are few things more amusing than watching Madonna, a woman who has been a music superstar for 30+ years, when she attempts to play guitar.

i wish people would stop using the mcdonalds case because that isnt even what the issue was

My heart bleeds for these parents. They lost their children in the most horrific way imaginable and despite the blame that so many have in this, noone will be held responsible. I understand the judges logic here. It’s the same as trying to hold Ford responsible for an unsafe driver plowing thru a crowd. The car isn’t…

This left me feeling gross. She’s a kid for fucks sake. She shouldn’t be saving her family from bankruptcy.

You’re trolling right? You’re not seriously describing sending children to a warzone to “enhancing their worldview?”

Or he might just have had a very reasonable concern about sending his children to an extremely dangerous country.

I’m all for expanding a kid’s worldview, but Syria is a literal active war zone. If i were in Pitt’s situation, I’d voice some very definite concerns about putting my children in harm’s way as well. We’re not talking about falling off a bike, nobody disputes that people are getting killed regularly and with great…

I dunno, the “maybe don’t take our children into a war zone where even UN convoys are bombed” is not that bad a tack . . .
