Continue to show your ass PD's nationwide. I had a cousin repost something on FB yesterday about how he won't vote for someone who accused all cops of being racist. Okay buddy, adding you to the basket. Also, you just failed my can you treat everyone the same test. Find a new career.
Yeah, this is a bad idea. And what a waste of time for the families who could potentially sue. They should be pursuing these claims in international courts. The SC will ultimately decide this clashes with international law of which we are a party to, right?
The D's should be standing up for international law. The R's should be standing against lawsuits in general. What is even happening here? A pox on both your houses!
ok...I'm listening...what's up with the slowness? It sounds like they slowed it down and it sounds like they are high.
is it just me? Because now I'm listening to the History Chicks and it's sllllloowwww.
Are you listening on your phone? Is it an iPhone? Check the # next to the x in the Podcast menu - that's the playback rate. 1x is normal. I had mine set to 11/2x last week accidentally and it was so fast. You can set it to 1/2x too. I hadn't noticed the feature before accidentally turning it on.
This week needs to get over itself. Every day is just more bad news. Today it was a friend with a tumor. It's not me, it's not H but every day I'm crying for someone else.
So, as a way to wash this mess of a week away, H and I are going to our local Brew at the Zoo Friday night. We weren't originally going due to Saturday night plans but due to some bad news this week, the Saturday event was cancelled.
I see they touched on the stereotype that women can't drive by adding in the commercial the reverse/ parallel packing capabilities. Ugh.
Also, not related, but why can't anyone in the suburbs parallel park? I was behind a car today and for almost 10 minutes as an older lady attempted to parallel part in the largest spot you could imagine. She blocked the entire road. I finally got out and told her she doesn't have to parallel park, the spot is large enough to pull forward in. And boom, right in the spot.
I wanted to throw things, a lot of things. Learn to parallel park suburbanites! Or don't so you don't hold up a one way road.
Some asswipe pulled into a parallel parking spot I was waiting for (I thought he was traveling down the street, not trolling for parking so I had pulled into a driveway to reverse and let him pass); glided into the spot - badly, then didn't pull up enough for me to park behind him - he was taking up two spots. I honked at him and then yelled that he was indeed taking up two spots and needed to pull up. This moron - in his tiny sedan, then told me he couldn't pull up any further because how would he get out. He had a good four feet in front of his car. OMG you idiot - go back to the burbs! I was infuriated but later thought I should have told him I'd park it for him and he could knock on my door when he was done and I'd get it out of the spot for him too. He then got out of his car and walked a couple blocks away. My neighbor says that this is his MO because he can't parallel park so he just finds a spot he can glide into and then walks the rest of the way. Take an UBER!
Confession though - I do love my parking sensors. I drive a minivan but I can fit that thing into pretty tight spaces with confidence of not love tapping any cars, poles, etc. because of those and the backup cam. I do have 20+ years of parallel parking experience so I am not reliant on them.
David French (National Review): After the first fifteen-twenty minutes, it was like the SS Trump hit the iceberg, then backed up and hit it again just because.
eclaires - that is depressing AF. And you know that bolded portion is the bottom line. That NY Post article via Yahoo - the willful ignorance in this country astounds me. A 28 year old paralegal who has never voted before? What?
Also, someone said upthread that they were going to rematch the debates to take notes in how to deal with professional interactions with men. Me too. I have one who laughs whenever I challenge him on anything. F'er.
Wait the next debate is October 9th? The night before Columbus Day?
Oh man I'm glad I'm a fed, lol.
Rubbing my hands in anticipation. Getting together with my sister and my cousin's wife to watch on the 9th. Sis says we should watch at her house since her "tvs are old so we can throw things at them". And now I can legit make it a pajama party and sleepover since H is off work the next day.
This is the miss universe thing she spoke about. Alicia Machado was Miss Venezuela and won Miss Universe. I remember when the whole drama of her gaining weight happened. It was really bad and she got treated horribly by a lot of people because of that.
I remember when that happened. Watching her work out on Inside Edition. It was so gross.
Argh. DS1 is not going to sleep! GTFTS child! I'm about to toss an iPad at him and say "watch until you fall asleep, I got a debate to catch". H has CSPAN (split screen of both all debate) as my primary and Bloomberg (fact checking) as my flip channel. Need to get my lady glass of win poured.
Saw this post and my first thought was "David Plouffe, I am now wetting the bed! Where are the Keeping it 1600 guys to get you on the phone to calm me down?" So, thanks for posting this really.
Did you hear him on that podcast last week? He's a good voice of calm reason.
I did. And I actually know him. He went to my HS - a few years before me - but his sister was in my class and one of my BFFs in HS. So hearing him verbally give me hair pats and tell me it'll all be okay is extra reassuring. I may no longer have faith in Nate but in Dave Plouffe I trust.

H recently signed up for legal stuff at work and that includes a will and livi will. I'll ask about medical power of attorney. Thanks for the reminder to schedule it.
I imagine I'm going to be okay saying no extraordinary measures but H won't be as easy with it.
