She apparently couldn’t find any Twitter posts to explain it to her, so she resorted to having people explain it to her over the phone, rather than sitting down and reading something.

The amount of times that a politicians Twitter gets mentioned by the media these days is INSANE to me. It seems to be so bad that the White House official means of communications seems to BE Twitter. I recall actually reading stories where White House workers take their direction by reading the president’s Twitter.…

But that’s exactly what they’re hiding behind, the fact that “it’s not like American prisons are well run”. He was literally the highest priority prisoner in custody at that time, even the most incompetent prison would’ve kept someone like that alive if that was their prime directive (which it should’ve been), but…

They’d rather chalk it up to incompetence than the real reason he died.

I recognize each and every frustration there, haha.

The GOP needs to reinvent itself so BADLY. There’s only one black person between the house and senate and he’s announced his retirement! When you look at how black people vote, there’s not even a need to segment it by age, education, or anything, it’s always extremely overwhelmingly democrat. It’s funny, in a way,…

Yeah, someone middle-class is only a crippling medical bill away from being decidedly not middle-class. The fear people live with, in this country, is so unnecessary.

For what it’s worth, I know someone at a major corporation involved in hiring outside the US and it’s become exponentially harder during this administration. They are doing so, in-part, by turning what used to be spot-checks into practically a guaranteed check. Another method is subjectivity, some of the standards…

The funny thing is, the programs listed above are exactly what makes it possible for people to get a job, feed their kids, educate themselves, etc. They make America better, they make immigrants better. But the right always wants to put such a negative spin on section 8, snap benefits, etc. Success stories are never…

Not only that, discouraging legal immigration with policies like this one, makes people that are hopeful to immigrate more likely to do so illegally. This administration is so critical of illegal immigration, but at the same time encourages it by making it harder to do so legally.

I for one think that many current republicans are “nasty”. But I do agree with your assessment that this cannot be blamed on a presidency. This is a Boeing issue. The current political climate can certainly come in to play as far as how this is handled after the fact though.

Very well said. As someone that isn’t or has never been in any branch of military, to me kneeling, standing, or sitting during an anthem is so much less meaningful than actually doing something, sending letters, donating much needed equipment, advocating for higher pay, standing up for veterans rights. And you said…

You think kneeling is just as disrespectful as burning a flag? Kneeling is a respectful gesture, you may have seen a person or two do it in a church. Or when proposing to their significant other. It’s a submissive pose. He didn’t burn anything, he didn’t flip the bird, he didn’t take a shit right on the field.... he…

I feel like you second sentence is a model we should be moving away from... Maybe.

maybe it should be worded immediate care, or emergency care? I imagine people crossing illegally could be in pretty bad condition. They should be treated like an uninsured American, they can still walk into a hospital and not be denied care if they have something clearly wrong with them, right?

I think there also needs…

That paragraph is so frustrating to read! It makes no sense.

Seriously, she isn’t a Nascar, where everyone is required to run the same engine.

In my eyes it’s a dynamic that’s baked into our society. Boobs are a thing people are attracted to, doesn’t make women sluts for them to be partially visible. So yes, it draws viewers and yes they may use it as a tool to do as such. But it doesn’t need to be made their identity.

Yes, this seems a story in itself.

Agreed, just suggesting the Netherlands because they’ve been forward thinking on this subject for many years now.
