I heard he used bats to play baseball, so he has a history of liking bats. Now he changes his story & he doesn't like bats? Implausible.

"Thomas Caygle, 37, now faces charges including driving under the influence and negligently operating a vehicle resulting in injury."

I'll believe that's just "dancing and clapping" when you show me video of these Covington boys surrounding and shouting in the faces of a handful of Catholic priests saying the rosary.
Surely someone caught video of that at the March for Life earlier in the day, right?

Neighbor locked herself out of her house w/ her 3 smols one night. I was home alone at the time. I sat the kids on my sofa while their Mom dealt with the lock.
Kids look around, then ask: "Why don't you have any friends?" We should let them host Meet the Press.

I didn't even know what that feeling was like, until I saw Wonder Woman. I surprised myself by crying during the trenches scene - I never ever saw a female character do that growing up and it was a bit overwhelming I guess.

Pia Zadora became famous because her mega-millionaire husband, 31 yrs her senior, financed a terrible movie that was nothing but a vehicle for her stardom, and she was terrible in it. I think Rick's aiming for Lara as propped up by skeevy husbands $$.

I love this. But about this "Oprah spawned doctors" "Oprah's farm team" "Oprah's quacks" Can we NOT leap to blaming a black woman for the actions of these white male quacks?
Unless Oprah called these guys and booked them on Fox herself, the black woman is NOT the villain here.

I wish more people would study how the Balkans war was started - the instigation, the narrative framing, the leveraging of people's prejudices and expectations at every level by the aggressors. It is 100% relevant to what's happening here.

Geoff Garin. Great at self-promotion. Known to phone-it-in for his lesser clients. My org hired him (ages ago) to do focus groups and he spent most of the time in the hallway on his phone, then offered his 'expert' opinion (which wasn't informed by data or observations).

I guess my question is- is it the kind of leak where we all shake our heads and say "someone should..." and then nothing happens, or is it something consequential. Bc I am waaay past getting excited about evidence of wrong-doing. I'm holding out for when wrong-doing gets punished

Massive journalistic failure. This is utterly irrelevant and frankly offensive material. The man is 48, not a child. His mother's opinion is irrelevant. Featuring and promoting her opinion this way - as though readers should consider it important - is perverse.

Susan what are you doing? You know there's a major overhaul of the Amtrak section of Union Station coming, and that's part of the reason some leases were terminated or not renewed. Why leave that part of the story out?

Women were always the weakest version of hero, too. Like, the bionic woman had, as one of her 'super' powers, that she was a really good listener 🙄. Only exceptions: Ripley, and - totally overlooked - Chris McNeill in The Exorcist. Total courage, total fighter.

No, this is a classic case of laughing her ass off because some dude doesn't realize the only reason you'd specifically want a partner to be inexperienced is because you're afraid you won't measure up to other men. This is obvious to women but some men just don't see themselves.

This is why I 100% question the official version. The video doesn't match the police story - if the cops were there because of the dog, they'd have tried to capture the dog (not let it run off) & they'd have animal control with them.

Question: Why didn't Putin do the invasion while Trump was still in office? Not that Putin needs US assistance, but it would have helped muck things up in Europe/UN. Did he just assume Trump would win a 2nd term?

Now we have so many men who don't know how to be a man without a gun. The thought of not having their guns makes them feel vulnerable, childlike, afraid.
They are their guns; their guns are them.

IMO, the reason boys/men become mass shooters & perpetrators of other violent crime while girls/women do not, is bc many boys are coached in violence from an early age. Images of men solving their problems with violence, especially guns, are everywhere - etc.

1. excellent name, 2. let me try to explain. Old Coot, drunk and inept, sent what he thought was an email or text to Kav but was really a tweet. In it he apologetically lets Kav know he gave Ford 1 more day, & tells Kav not to worry bc its all a sham.

Your issue is that you're angry and you want to lash out. You did so by way of a terrible analogy and now you're digging in deeper. As someone else in this thread said, voting is a Constitutionally protected right; driving is not.

Lessons learned:
- She didn't plan ahead
- She showed up unprepared
- She doesn't care that she took advantage of the people in charge
- She's promoting herself off the work done by other people to organize an event, without contributing to it herself
Would not hire.

What an incredibly presumptuous thing for a judge to say. He's not supposed to infer the secret motives in the prosecutor's heart, he's supposed to rule on the evidence presented to him. Lol imagine if cases were decided based on what judges' think prosecutors really "care" about

Yes, it is scary. Because it shows that they don't believe women's lives are important, that they don't actually care whether we live or die. It brings forward the unspoken truth that they see us as lesser humans, less valuable than themselves.
