There’s definitely a hypocrisy element at work here: if her ratings were better, this would be smoothed over, etc.

i usually try not to be petty, but in this case I’ll make an exception:

The "work" comment makes them sound like they don't care about her, only her earning power. Charming

A Museum about the Bible with fake items?

I also wouldn’t be surprised if people had reported his comments to Facebook and they said it didn’t violate their standards. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve reported racist and extreme misogynist stuff and Facebook’s been like, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Ugh that reminds me of my ex husband. He was in the army and I had to iron his BDUs (uniform) every night. One night during a horrible flu, I was in bed trying to rest. He came into the room to ask me if I was gonna iron. I said please no, I have the flu, I’m pregnant, I am so sick. Please let me rest. He dragged me…

Remember scumbag assholes, in a murder suicide, do the suicide first.  

One of the great frustrations of these things is that the political reporters either toss it off as “something that happens in elections” or frame it in such a way that the fact that it’s an attempt to suppress people of color’s votes isn’t a provable fact but merely an “accusation” or a “some people say” type story…

This race is neck and neck. If he ekes out a win (via voter suppression, or whatever other tricks he has up his sleeve through the election), then it’s just another sign that democracy is well and truly dead in America. I’ll wait until 2020 to call it, but this is the scariest part of it all. We’ve already accepted…

I know 5 languages and have actually lived in 3 different countries throughout my life, long story. I speak Spanish to my visiting relatives from Central America, Portuguese to my Brazilian wife, and German whenever and wherever I get a chance. The more languages the better, that’s all there is to it. Not bragging,…

What? We don’t have an official language, people can speak whatever language they want in public.

Go to London, you’ll hear 10 different languages in a single block. We live on a globe, not some kind of bubble cities encased in glass and should stay the same forever.

I’ll say it: it’s rude to speak anything but the lingua franca in public, in any country, outside of obvious tourist areas.

What’s rude is interjecting yourself into the conversation of a group of people eating a meal at a restaurant that has nothing to do with you and making a profane, racist spectacle of yourself. But that's just me.

Seems you need to work on your grasp of the English language, since you clearly did not understand the story.

This completely makes me foam at the mouth in anger.

I’m white, born and raised south of Boston. Had never left the country at the time, but had done very well in school with various foreign languages.

Fast forward to college in Orlando, Florida and I was working at a Tex-MEX restaurant, and I would try and speak…

Uh, no. Just throw them in the trash.

Yuppppp. This isn’t mysterious, really. He threatened (or tried to fuck) her kid and she was not having it. They don’t just like...spontaneously turn into psychopaths who kill indiscriminately; they’re predators who protect their interests.

I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for many years. It took me twenty years to tell anyone. I worked with a great therapist, but still kept it to myself. About six years ago, the relative who did it was arrested for child porn. My mother asked me if he had ever “bothered” me. I was sick of lying so I told her the…

Huge kudos to this girl and her teacher - I know it’s the teacher’s job as a mandatory reporter, but its easy enough for adults to ignore such signs of abuse because it’s easier. I remember in high school (roughly 14 years old) I wrote a creative piece that depicted abuse, drug use, and rampant violence. I was dealing…
