So, I've got a theory. She killed her pup not because it upset her by scattering the birds she hunted, but because it embarrassed her in front of the neighbors when it killed their chickens. Cricket wouldn't listen to her and it made her feel publicly ineffectual and weak. Being made to feel that way absolutely enraged her.

She's a massive POS and I really hope this ends her career.

My momma always said when you first smell yourself, other people have been smelling you for two days.

Of course it's news! It highlights the fact that Trump cannot pay attention for any meaningful period of time. How can a man who can't stay awake when his future is at stake pay attention when it's our future at stake?

Good luck if Trump gets elected.

So they'll be hoisted by their own petard, and they will deserve it.

I think you can sue the estate, but the executor follows the parameters of the will.

IANAL, so grain of salt.

I knew of a girl when I was in high school. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. Word began rushing through the school that she (head cheerleader) was pregnant by the quarterback on the football team. He came from a super wealthy family, and honestly we all expected an immediate marriage and a 'premature' baby.

What happened instead was an announcement that she had died during emergency surgery and let's all pray. She had had a (what we called) backstreet abortion and hemorrhaged.

We all knew how to access an illegal abortion, we knew the risks, and this girl just was the unlucky one.

She was super smart, in the Latin club, debate, 4.0, just destined for success. And instead she died.

This was in 1969, and I cannot believe we as a nation are willing to go back over 2 decades in women's healthcare.

Oh ffs. He's such a vainglorious idiot that he doesn't even know he should be completely, totally, and irredeemably embarrassed for doing such a stupid thing...but no. There is nothing in him that is not infused with empty, unearned pride.

Last November, Kim Taylor was found guilty of 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, 23 counts of fraudulent voting and three counts of fraudulent registration.

The office of the US attorney for the northern district of Iowa said Taylor “perpetrated a scheme to fraudulently generate votes for her husband in the primary election for Iowa’s fourth US congressional district in June 2020.

Taylor submitted or caused others to submit dozens of voter registrations, absentee ballot request forms, and absentee ballots containing false information. Taylor completed and signed voter forms without voters’ permission and told others that they could sign on behalf of relatives who were not present.”

I'm so OCD that I once edited a comment from months before. Someone replied and I noticed I had typed its instead of it's and I just could not let that stay.
