And as someone earlier noted, when it's a Christian faith that asks ladies to cover their heads, it's totally ok. Anyone else, fuck off. Seems reasonable!

I'm here. So so mad about the proposed budget. From CA's Democratic Party convention (because my BIL in politics there and would assume it's not too far off in the rest the country ) "75% of people can't absorb an unexpected $700 hit. 3 out of 4 Californians are a blown tire, a broken wrist, or a burst pipe away from financial ruin" Sooo, let's cut safety nets. That seems so so smart. Assholes.

That seems so so smart. Assholes. I think that is true for the entire country, and it has been extensively reported on. I think the number for the rest of the country is actually lower, more like $400. Blergh.

Welp Gianforte was charged with assault. Two of the MT papers have rescinded their endorsements, but since they have a large early voting population he might still win

I saw this yesterday and raged. I know we have always had a huge racism problem, but that these people are even more emboldened makes me sick.

I am also glad that the sane among us are fighting back by social media shaming them. It probably won't change their minds, but it might just shift the thinking of some people who think racism isn't really a problem. Because we all know there are people who think that

Is it terrible I had to read this several times and go back to look at names of who is who because surely fox news wasn't defending the "liberal" reporter?

She is the worst. The fact that she thinks its ok for federal money to go to institutions that discriminate against children pretty much says it all.

Just jumping in here to say thank you for the commentary and education you smart ladies provide! I especially enjoyed the "normalcy" that this thread provided (at the other site) over the past week.
Now carry on with scheduled programming!

Filling out my 2017 Democratic Party Survey this AM. Make sure to fill out & return if you get one. They only gave me 7 lines to fill in my miscellaneous thoughts but it says I can attach additional sheets of paper sooo 😂😂.
