I’m a millenial. I was 8 by the time I was going to the store on my own to get groceries for my single mom while she worked, cooking for my self and being home alone.

But this has nothing to do with generations, this is a case of society failing so many people and letting them fall through the cracks, and a matter of…

I’m Gen-X and was left alone by myself or with another kid my age often so that my mom could work. I was also around 8. 

By my math, this young woman had two children before she was even a legal adult

The fact is that America has criminalized being poor. And with America having a for-profit justice/prison system and the fact that the country is steadily sliding into being a 3rd world county, this is obviously a bad thing. Welcome to American Late Stage Capitalism.

What exactly do these people think is going to happen? My life is not that exciting.

You only see this in the homes of paranoid assholes. It never occurs to them that normal people don’t have to arm themselves to fend off enemies. Most sane people have no enemies, especially ones who want to inflict violence on them.

This is just another example of the asymmetric warfare Republicans are waging and Democrats need to stop falling for. It doesn’t matter that she’s a fundamentally ignorant person. What matters is that she is getting a reaction. “Owning the libs” is all that matters to these people.

I am so confused. Ted Cruz is evil, but he’s not stupid. And this is just so obviously the absolute last thing someone in his position should be doing during a historic disaster in his home state.

Times like this make me miss Splinter even more than Deadspin.

Can we meet you halfway? Please stop writing about her?

So you use your social media platform and tell your story.

I think the rage started when a black man dared to occupy the white house.  Of course even back then trump had a hand in inciting them with all the birther nonsense.

It’s almost like in order to betray a trust, you first have to go about establishing one.

she conveniently glosses over that they were out there chanting “Hang Mike Pence” because he explicitly wouldn’t do Trump’s bidding.

She looks like Wayne Flower’s Madame.

Imagine comparing someone who WILLINGLY put an industrial adhesive in their hair to someone being born with medical issues beyond their control. This is one of the most ignorant comparisons I’ve ever read. I’d put your critical thinking skills right on par with hers based on this response.

Here is to hoping that the impeachment happens (it totally won’t happen) and that this man can never run for president again.

agreed. I read her reasoning on Buzzfeed, and maybe I missed something, but I think she said she missed the medal twice from Trump because she couldn’t travel or something similar. And now, she’s not sure because she doesn’t want to take it from Biden and make it political. And all the commenters were saying that they…

They’re co-opting Biden’s shtick. His calls for unity are for the right to get over the lie about a stolen election and to focus on COVID, but the feckless GOP is using it as a talking point to get out of accountability, because when the dust finally settles, there’s going to be a shitload of sedition coming from…

Waiting for the first player to look and point to the sky during the coming Stupor Bowl. God loves him some football! And he loves all the teams. I wonder why each game doesn’t end in a tie?
