Because they’re not disabled. What are you even talking about?
That’s like supporting some racist segragationist bullshit by saying “well, can’t black people just use disabled bathrooms? They’re a small portion of the population.”
See how ridiculous that sounds? It’s not disparaging to disabled people to point out how inappropriate that is. You’re just making life harder for disabled people to feed some asshole’s bigotry.
That one person is a gem and we should appreciate them. They noticed you got talked over, and made sure to circle back, noticeably so the others don’t do it again, to make sure you weren’t silenced. It shows they not only noticed, but were bothered by it.
Treasure those people, and be those people.
Unless he was diagnosed as a pathological liar, they should not. Not that he isn’t, because he is, but as a news organization they should only provide the facts, quotes, and unbiased contextual information. That is what we should expect from the news. It should not be “left-leaning” or “right-leaning,” because they shouldn’t tell us what we should think about what they are reporting.
They should report that some of his former (and possibly current, if it’s accurate) aids and expected cabinet members wrote, participated, or supported Project 2025. They should report what Trump’s response was when asked about it, as well as including the factual context of how many people directly surrounding him that were openly involved (to give the lie to him “not knowing”).
We need news to stop giving opinion. Period. They should strive to be as unbiased as possible, including reporting on events based on newsworthy-ness, not trying to be “fair” to the candidates by reporting on both in an equally negative way regardless of the severity of their respective news (e.g. Obama’s tan suit vs. Trump’s children in cages.)
Mirror selfies seem like a very reasonable thing to do at a gym, particularly if you are looking for progress pics, taking the same picture in the same location while it’s still in your mind.
That got me upset enough that when I read “GI Joe movie” in your comment, it was the first thing I thought of, before reading the rest of your comment.
Wasn’t the US Constitution’s 4th amendment the basis for Roe vs Wade? It would be fitting for the Florida 4th amendment to enshrine abortion access in their state.
Just a reminder to those “Biden and Harris are participating in genocide, it’s not like Trump could be any worse” crowd.
It can always get worse.
Flying a confederate flag in Pennsylvania is about the most ridiculous thing I can think of off-hand. In the south, they’re all about “it’s not about racism, it’s about heritage!” People flying it in the north are, like, “Nope, racism! I don’t have any heritage with this, except its heritage of racism!”
There are people undecided on whether they will be voters. Plenty of people who would vote Republican who could not bring themselves to vote Democrat even against fascism, or a candidate with dementia, or a felon, might be convinced to just stay home. And plenty left-leaning types who can’t be assed to go to a ballot box might find the motivation when they have someone that actually seems presidential, who they might want to have as a president (when apparently the threat of fascism wasn’t enough of a motivation).
I wish it were required that both parties agree to the lawsuit being dropped for it not to continue. I’d love to see this frivolous bullshit forced into a courtroom against the plaintiffs will by the defendants.
I disagree. If we sent 100 personnel with an air defense group to Ukraine, shit would get pretty real pretty fast. Sending people is a whole different commitment to sending weapons.
I had an old instructor who liked to say “when it comes to breakfast, what’s the difference between the chicken and the pig? The chicken made a contribution, the pig made a commitment.”
Sending our own troops stops being a contribution and starts being a commitment.
The worst were always the first of Depressing Comic Week, because you don’t expect it. It starts out normal and ends up shockingly depressing and says something like “welcome to Depressing Comics Week!”
Them absolutely rioting over a small increase in retirement age made me feel shame as an American. I love how willing the French are to remind their government of what happens when it gets out of line. Like, “don’t make us break out the guillotines.”
The French are not weak.
Should have had his wife “design and print” them, get a patent, and sell them to the air force instead.
We need better stalls in the US for that to be the case. WAY too many gaps and openings.
