Systematically driving down the wages of the people you expect to catch a bullet for you by gig-ifying their industry seems like a pretty terrible idea if you’re someone who depends on armed security for your continued existence.
I guess I’ll go make some popcorn.
CFPB = Consumer Finance Protection Bureau
The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn’t bother. Why would they start now?
Where I live we have a thing called BallotTrax. You sign up once and it automatically sends you notifications for that stuff so you don’t have to remember to check. I really like it.
Yeah, if I were Trump I would be missing the opponent that I had a shot at beating too.
I’d be curious to know how they plan to enforce this, and how they’re going to monitor compliance.
Looks like someone is going to need to reform the Jane Collective.
Would an X-Men/Star Wars crossover be any weirder than the Justice League/RWBY mashup that Warner Brothers did?
Well… He did make the character Humbert Humbert say it, though.
“Frigid gentlewomen of the jury! I had thought that months, perhaps years, would elapse before I dared to reveal myself to Dolores haze; but by six she was wide awake, and by six fifteen we were technically lovers. I am going to tell you something very strange: it was she who seduced me.”
It’s not that we can’t afford to pay you $15 an hour, or even $30 an hour, but if we did that then we couldn’t give that money to the shareholders. You see, they’ve purchased a certificate which entitles them to the wealth created by your labor. We assure you we can imagine it must be somewhat uncomfortable to live in constant grinding poverty, but you can understand how our hands are tied here. They have a certificate. What are we supposed to do, ask a rich person to be a teeny tiny bit less rich? That’s just crazy talk.
Yes. Let’s hear about Christian morals from miss Adultery McPublicHandjob.
Guess she never made it all the way to #7.
It’s so embarrassing that she represents my state.
She’s still probably going to win her primary though. If it were her against a single other Republican she’d be in trouble, but there are five other candidates, none of whom are willing to step aside for the strongest contender, so there’s a good chance Bobert is going to skate through with some shockingly low percentage of the vote.
I don’t know anything about the Drake/Kendrick thing, but the term nymph probably became associated with pedophilia because of the novel Lolita. It’s one of the creepy endearments the main character comes up with while he is obsessing over the child he’s going to rape later in the story.
It is perpetually disappointing the extent to which so many people who claim to be Christians fail to understand even the CliffsNotes version of the Gospel.
Jesus’ arrest was probably bound to happen sooner or later though. As noted Biblical scholar Andrew Zaltzman has often pointed out, Pontius Pilate was a law and order administrator, and Jesus was absolutely guilty under the law at the time.
It must be amazing to have that much money and influence.
Coincidentally the podcast I’m listening to as I type this is talking about a man sitting on death row who was convicted solely on the testimony of one “bite mark analyst” who was later shown to be an absolute fraud in a field that is already highly dubious at best. The appeals court in his case feels that just because the “expert” was wrong in all his other cases doesn’t necessarily mean he was wrong in his. So that’s cool.
Yes. The police. That famously liberal group of bleeding heart lefties.
And just like that there’s a plausible scenario where The Undertaker comes out of nowhere and saves Democracy by choke-slamming them both through a podium.
You can tell it’s horseshit because if they were actually performing the miracle of Speaking in Tongues that they claim to be you would be able to understand whatever they’re babbling about regardless of what language you speak. If they were genuinely doing it you probably shouldn’t even be able to tell unless someone who speaks a completely different language comes along and says something like, “Wow, it’s crazy that this congregation prays in Swahili,” or whatever.
I genuinely wonder how many people would still be alive if the police had stuck with their Time/Distance/Cover training instead of the Killology Bulletproof Warrior garbage they use now.
Not even a year. It’s only his first fiscal quarter.
