Are you kidding? There's a whole "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO" segment of the US population that cries until they die of dehydration every time the government says "regulation" three times in a mirror.

That feels like a $1 inheritance. Was the hospital trying to get the worst PR angle possible?

In 2016, toward the end of the lead up to the primaries, Bernie polled higher than HRC when they were each given as an option to oppose Trump. I was in rural New York at the time and it was surprising to see so many Bernie signs. Somehow, he was able to reach blue collar America where other, recent Democrats have lost ground.

As a populist, Bernie was a stronger candidate against the other "populist" (Trump) than the institution candidate (HRC). Naturally, the DNC would rather lose against a wannabe-dictator than back someone who doesn't swallow their entire load.

I knew this case was a slam dunk* the second I heard about it. Not just because it's ridiculous but because this exact scenario has been through the courts before.

The voters should hold the school board accountable for the tax dollars they wasted and vote them out.*

This is making me miss the hobbydrama sub. I love this petty shit.

Even if this were true, I'd vote for a banana peel over Trump because at least the banana peel won't do anything to dismantle election integrity.

Sounds like nude dancing is more efficient, really.

Because until recently, we didn't teach kids that making a mistake or changing one's mind is ok and a sign of learning and growth. You know, that same social-emotional learning that became a conservative boogeyman.

So a bunch of people grew up to be assholes who feel less masculine or powerful if they admit they were wrong or consider new information. Sprinkle in the narcissists, and behold, the cognitive dissonance olympics.

If we demand higher police pay, we better be raising EMT, social work, and teacher salaries too.

And yes, I know this is whataboutism, but it feels wrong to fund police while some of the support system workers that prevent crime in the first place would be thrilled to be making the hourly rate these cops were.
