Angela Lansbury: Women must 'sometimes take blame' for sexual harassment
http://ew.com/news/2017/11/28/angela-lansbury-sexual-harassment/

She has a good point. Other famous women have said similar things

First, don't even know if that's real. Let's say it is:

“become more familiar with current language, sensitive to current issues, and to share best practices in supporting our LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP peers and students.”

I can't see anything wrong with that. Yes, all those letters look crazy but helping teachers learn how to deal with some of those issues kids might be going thru, is a good thing.

And this was back in June, I guess the Right are now just getting outraged over this? Something to talk about?

How many genders are their JB ?? Does biology / science matter or do we just accept mental delusion as reality now?

It's beyond dreaming to marry into the Royal family under even the most perfect scenario (being from a rich English family going to the proper schools, etc)

So, to do it without out that and being previously married is stratospheric by all counts.

Times change, and he's pretty far down the line of succession by now, so they probably don't care. What is he - 5th? And Kate's preggers again which would bump him to 6th.

Just met Thomas Begay who was "puzzled" but not offended by Trump's Pocahontas quip: "The Marines made us yell 'Geronimo' when we jumped out of planes + that didn't offend me either."

It would take all of them being in a downed plane for Harry to be King. So they will do the never have Trump and Pence in Airforce One travel model

CBO is not non-partisan or even accurate. Neither are the hot-take interpretations.

It is actually non-partisan. You Republicans/Conservatives are just struggling with it because this tax plan just blows up the deficit.

"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a federal agency within the legislative branch of the United States government that provides budget and economic information to Congress. Inspired by California's Legislative Analyst's Office that manages the state budget in a strictly nonpartisan fashion, the CBO was created as a nonpartisan agency by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

There is a consensus among economists that "the CBO has historically issued credible forecasts of the effects of both Democratic and Republican legislative proposals."

Roy Moore gaining in poll.

D's may have a hard time objecting to Moore if they do nothing about Conyers.. nahhh.

First, the CBO, some random law professor with an opinion. You must have searched hard for that one.

"A study in the journal Polity examined the accuracy of economic forecasts made by the White House, the Federal Reserve, and the CBO between 1979 and 1997. During that time, the administration's forecasts were the least accurate and the CBO's were the most accurate."

Second, Conyers will probably step down. No issues for Dems. Moore is also worse because of the underage factor. Pedo.

Oh wow, he does have a lead:

The Pedo friendly Republican party. Shameful.

Ha! Yes... We even had a Senator resign b/c he was harassing young male pages. We typically flush our pervs but every once in awhile a former democrat gets in to screw things up.

Two words... Ted Kennedy.

It's 2017, pushing 2018. You need to go back awhile don't you. Right now, you guys are voting Pedo/Pervs in. And Ted has nothing to do with Moore. You're trying to defend it now as well, just like you did with the Perv Trump.

All they care about is that Senate seat mainly so they can get their tax cut for the rich through. Trump wants the tax cut for himself (his motivation in everything) and his donors and so that he can finally score a win after a year of failures with even more to come. The "Art of The Steal" should be his next book.

So-far two democrats have admitted to using secret slush funds to pay off victims of sexual harassment, another just suddenly announced his retirement. I don't think I have to reach back too far.

No statute of limitation on man slaughter. Ted Kennedy served in the Senate for decades after leaving a women to die alone in a river. He was a womanizing, drug abusing alcoholic. For some reason, democrats think history doesn't matter when it shows their hero's to be terrible people.

Again, as long as a person votes democrat and has money, other democrats will ignore their bad behavior, no matter how disgusting.

Yes.. Just like Nancy Pelosi. Don't pretend one party is more moral than the other.

Pocahontas’ Actual Descendant’s Thoughts on Trump Aren’t What the Left Wishes They Were

According to an interview with Sky News, Debbie “White Dove” Porreco isn’t taking any offense to Trump’s name for Warren, and she’s an actual descendant of Pocahontas herself.

In fact, not only is she not taking offense, she looks at Trump as a “hero.”

Yes because the actions of one bought off corporate shill excuse the actions of another. Didn't realize your corrupt team was so ignorant that they would seek out lessons from Nancy Pelosi.

Don't pretend one party is more moral than the other.

Says the guy committed to his "team" at any cost, willing to overlook or rationalize any corrupt or immoral behavior as long as his team might score a "win".

I am not routing for a team, I am routing for my Country. Personally I believe that both of our major parties need serious overhauls or to be abandoned all together, because they are rotting from the inside due to corporate corruption. You need to wake up and do the same. Unless, of course, you don't actually care about our Country.

I can't tell if you're a little crazy or just a troll.

I've been watching Hacker News for Net Neutrality debate. Seems the post JB Lions made with the picture of separate Internet access packages was wrong. In context, the packages are 10gb addons for a family plan.

https://stratechery.com/2017/pro-neutrality-anti-title-ii/

tl;dr

So to recount: one Portugal story is made up, and the other declared that a 10GB family plan with an extra 10GB for a collection of apps of your choosing for €25/month ($30/month) is a future to be feared; given that AT&T charges $65 for a single “Unlimited” plan that downscales video, bans tethering, and slows speeds after 22GB, one wonders if most Americans share that fear.

Are you wanting to dig him up out of the ground and see what he has to say for himself? I could easily go back and find some Republicans as well but you do it to divert from current issues. Typical from you.

tl;dr

translated = I'm still too lazy to read the stuff I post. What's the point of that? Are you wanting others here to read for you, and explain it to you? Give you the Cliff note version, what?

Like I said, New Year coming, maybe you can step your game up and actually read next year.
