I mean, they’re kinda right though? Even Bernie thinks so.

Oh, they still have all four branches. It’s just Oregon got a bit more Blue.

To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

It’s a lot easier to blame things than to fix them.

They already had that out in Court. Fox successfully argued they’re an entertainment channel not a news channel and so the judge said what they were doing was fine.

The reason for the ban is still stupid though.

Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?

In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Simple: the people electing him are racist white southerners.

Those kids in the 60s treating their new black classmates like shit, the white teens pouring drinks over black teens doing soda-counter sit-ins, the young white couple that’s all smiles as they attend a lynching… they didn’t just poof out of existence when the Civil and Voting Rights Acts were passed. They grew up, had kids that they taught their racist bullshit to.

And all of them vote.

And it is work, by, again, both definitions.

All right, honey. What would you call the constant care an infant needs, if it isn’t work?

It’s that gosh-darn problem with facts having a liberal bias again.

American Heritage Dictionary; Work, definition:

Physical or mental effort or activity directed toward the production or accomplishment of something. ”Cleaning the basement was a lot of work."

Such effort or activity by which one makes a living; employment. ”looking for work."

Again, kids are work. And since, as another lemming pointed out, some people do it as an actual job, it counts under both definitions.

And if you do hie off to the Bahamas, you still have to bring that work along. You can’t just leave it behind and just have a relaxing vacation with nothing to do. (Unless you find a babysitter, but then you’re not doing the work of childcare anymore; now you’re using maternal leave for something that isn’t work).

Yeah, but you couldn’t just hall off to the Bahamas or whatever; you were still glued to the kid. Still looking after them 24/7.

Yes, it becomes routine, but It’s still a routine, you still have a lot to do, and again, no call-outs, you’re on-call all day. It may not be a ‘job’, but it is still work.

Babies are work. They are constant, screaming, pooping, work. Not even 9-5 work, because a very young infant requires around-the-clock care, so really it’s worse than work.

At least in a regular job you can punch out and leave work at the office and go home and relax, or call in sick if you don’t feel good. None of that with a baby. You have to always be there for them, all day, all night, no matter what, no matter how you feel.

I think we’re also running into an issue of language, however. ‘Time Off’, as in, not being in the office for an extended period of time, yes, maternity leave is that. ‘Time Off’ as in, a rest, relaxation, vacation, no. Maternity leave is most definitely not that.

The fact that lie detectors don’t really work aside, how exactly was she cheating with a tube of lipstick? Was it magically moving pieces for her? Was it talking to her in a voice only she could hear?

What a bunch of morons.

Have you seen pictures of the female Nazi concentration camp guards? Most of those photos are of 25-35-year-old women. Evil and cruelty are indeed very aging.

Although, I bet if those racist assholes took DNA tests many of them would find they did have some African-American blood, especially if they were from the South.

It’s a lot easier to blame things than to fix them.

Speaking as a woman, you’re definitely an insufferable cunt.
