Oh shit, do you have evidence of other justices engaging in a similar level of corruption?? I'm very interested to see any articles or evidence you have to that effect.

Otherwise engage with the topic at hand, which is Thomas and the Koch brothers.

Unless Wawa has been doing that for 25+ years they stole it from ME.

Man, Wawa, haven't heard that name in years, that brings back some memories.

Same, but apparently Italians hate us for that 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's soo much easier to deal with tho!

With the best selection of the chicken, salad, and rice saved for that last bite.

When I'm feeling lazy after Thanksgiving it all just goes in a fucking bowl together (pre-chopped, if necessary) and I stir it up. Rolls stay out of course, I goop some Thanksgiving mush onto a chunk of roll 😁

Me, innocent: Oh cuz a central banker is pretty wealthy and powerful, and to only cover the crown would take a very tiny beanie 😂

Wait... Hitler mode? ... 🤯

Wait what happened with Meghan Markle? Something recent?

100%, this looks unnervingly like Lindsay Lohan a decade or so ago... Wait, what does this say about poor Lindsay what she's gonna look like at 80?

I understand that you don't agree with him. I'm just saying sometimes karma bites people in the ass and I can't be bothered to mind it when that happens.

Wow that's so fucked up, I can't imagine what that must feel like... All those memories, the time, the family treasures, gone...

And to be able to watch it happen.. I don't even know what I'd choose. Probably not to watch, honestly.

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’"

Trump said, addressing a group of police officers.

Generally I'm with you, but if Trump gets a little roughed up I won't cry too hard.

In the context of protecting my kid from trauma (gun violence), my primary issue with a solution would yes, be the likelihood of the solution just causing a different kind of trauma.

You, however, seem to think it's my only objection to the idea of standing over my kid with a gun. It's not. I wasn't trying to write a treatise on guns or gun violence, I was reaching out for human connection in a moment of fear and tears. And your response was to accuse me and all Americans of not being able to fathom a solution to problem without bringing a gun into it. Thanks, I found your reply super helpful in that moment. I'm all better now.

You thought that was my first instinct? I felt like my first instinct was clearly to keep my kid home forever.

It was a rhetorical question, meant to highlight the insanity of the situation and the lack of options parents face just trying to let their kids be kids in safety. Bringing a gun to playtime would clearly be absurd, as would keeping my daughter inside, but you didn't feel the need to call out Americans for constantly wanting to lock up their daughters. For that one you understood irony.

My country is a fucking mess, I'm clearly already upset about it. We could even have agreed about it! But you had to read what I wrote in the weirdest, American hating way possible.

What do you do? As a parent what do you fucking do? How do you protect your kids from this?? What are we supposed to do? Tell them not to leave the house??

I'm in fucking tears, both for this little girl and her family and friends, and because I literally do not know how to protect my daughter from this.

Stand over outdoor playtime with a gun? Trauma Refuse to let kids play outside anymore? Trauma

My kid has already been shooting adjacent once in her life, and that list of kids grows and grows every year. Kids shot, kids siblings shot, kids friends shot, kids on lockdown because there's a shooting in the school, near the school, shootings in Walmarts, now they can't play in their front yards or ring the wrong doorbell by mistake.

The fuck, you guys? Thanks for listening so I could get that out of my system before my kid sees my face.

I love unions, unions are great, more people should be in them. Just not cops. If all they were doing was fighting for better hours and pay I'd have no problem (acab aside), but police unions go to bat for violent cops who hurt people. Police unions fight to keep those violent cops in those positions of authority, paid by our tax dollars, with a gun, on the streets where their next potential victim waits.

That's a problem for me.

Annnnd that's why cops shouldn't have unions.

The police dept is already loathe to hold officers accountable, we don't need a whole ass union protecting cops from people who already don't want to hurt them.

Exactly, it should be fired, charged, loss of required policing license if found guilty (or if a police license board decides so, even without conviction)

Currently I'll take just fired and charged, since we don't have policing licenses as of yet.

There are all kinds of people with various dog training/skills in this world who take in dogs with problems from not being safe around small animals, or other dogs, or kids, or men, or women, etc.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find people qualified and willing to take on this kind of dog "problem" (the dog did what it was trained to do, I'm not sure why that would be a problem necessarily. If it attacks someone outside of it's training then I'd be with you).

Hell throw in special training and some kind of state/local tax break for anyone willing and able to sign up for retired police dog owning.

"Oh hey, remember (name)? They worked here like 6 months ago."

No. No I do not remember that person. I probably didn't learn their name when they were here, let alone retain that information 6 months later.

Now I just lie, cuz people do NOT like the implication that you'll definitely forget their name in 6 months, too 😂 "Oh, yeah! That guy! How's he doing these days?" While I desperately try to conjure a mental picture as they talk about That Guy. Usually the conversation ends with me still not having a clue.

I blame a lot on brain farts when the name I can't come up with is someone who DOES still work here, "Fuck, why am I not coming up with this name that I 100% do, in fact, know??"

Really they should have been clued in to my horrible memory when I needed the phone number for our other store, that I call multiple times a DAY, to be written down near the phone because I can't reliably remember it when I need it.

Gilmore Girls and KOTOR... Maybe Rory is Darth Revan, with Paris as Bastila. ... I can see it.
