At the very least he raised his daughter with the same sort of respect for people that have different political ideology by displaying it himself in the middle of a presidential election. During a campaign event a woman calimed she couldn't trust Obama because he was an arab, and his response was:

"No ma'am, he's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about."

Is it just a single point of reference into his character, yes, but I think considering the context of the moment helps give it weight. I think claiming he's not a 'decent human being' is a bit hyperbolic but I was just 12 years old at the time.

100 percent. It's false equivalency to compare the jokes and insults in this comment section to misogyny and 'slut shaming'.

That person might be able to complain that they can't possibly get a fair trial after a public impeachment, but that's a separate matter.

I(love)ANAL, but if I were the prosecuting attorney in this case and the defense were to go this route, my rebuttal would be that the impeachment process are legal proceedings that are also meant to be fair and impartial. Thus, the impeachment itself could be admitted as a piece of evidence in the case supporting prosecution for the specific crime committed and covered by the articles of impeachment.

Logically, that makes sense to me, but maybe there's a different strategy that would be more effective.

Its a metaphorical representation of your comment.

People are memorializing their unnecessary deaths by showing that they went and voted against the fascists that caused it. It shows their their deaths will not be in vain and their memory serves as motivation to continue to fight for a better country. It's not just some virtue signal about going to vote. The sentiment runs a little deeper than that.

I want ice cream!

Sorry, the ice cream parlor is closed, Hun. But I'll tell you what. Since you've been well-mannered this week, we can go to the convenience store and get candy or we can go home and have popsicles.

No! That's bullshit. I want ice cream and fuck you for thinking that popsicles and candy are a nice consolation prize. Open a new ice cream parlor that berates anyone thats happy about popsicles on occasion! 😡

And trains!

I'm a fellow Eagle scout and I have an intrinsic bias toward other scouts that have completed their Eagle. It shows me that they hold values consistent or similar to my own. Namely the scout law and oath. Scouting taught me a deep emotional connection to nature and the way I interact with it. As with any organization, there's going to be failures and tribulations, but I treat BSA guidelines as I do Catholic morality. It is what I make of it and if I take the core values that are meant to be gleaned from what it's supposed to teach, then it's difficult to argue that it's had a negative impact on me or the people around me.

I would love to see a scouting Renaissance in the next few decades with the inclusion of women and queer members. There's few other organizations or programs that are as well equipped to teach youth about nature and what it has to offer.

I mean, everyone is shitting on the painting, but we have no reference photo of OP at 16. We only have what little you can see in the profile photo.

I can tell from just the thumbnail that this is the Florida voting machine skit from 2004 lol. What a pull!

What a terrific and underrated show

Yeah, that'd be nice if people could take on debt and adjust cash flows like a business, but a lot of people don't have the financial flexibility to spend $600 in a lump payment. That's why people keep bringing up 60+ percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I'm fortunate enough to be able to make those types of purchases a couple times a year, but I know my privilege is not the norm.

The best someone may be able to do is 12mo financing on a new credit card with 0% apr, but miss a payment and its 25% interest. If they even get approved.
