Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:

• Mom
• Mommy
• Mama
• Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
• Uma
• Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
• Her name (when she’s being particularly deaf)

On the bright side, that means the horse can continue the torture forever. Autocorrect is a mean bastard, but I’m thinking this one’s not so bad.

Yes, last I’d heard the rapist Brock Allen Turner was going by Allen Turner. That rapist.

This…pretty much describes the Democratic Party in general: mostly full of people who, by the standards 20 years ago, would’ve had an R by their names.

Both parties are a cancer at this point.

Absolutely disgusting. Our common ancestors are rolling over in their graves at their inhumanity.

You can’t be a shitheel traitor if you don’t engage in some shitheeling treachery, right?

IAAL(BNYL). In very basic terms, here’s what happened:

First court issued a ruling saying Trump admin can’t fire everyone.

Appeals court said Trump admin didn’t need to follow the first court ruling (at this time).

Trump admin tried to fire everyone.

Appeals court has now come back and said Trump admin does need to follow first court ruling.

Result: Trump admin is (legally) barred from firing everyone (for now).

Based on the username and formatting of the title, I’m guessing OP’s native language may be Japanese, where questions are often statement+question word.

Shitsumon desu - It’s a question.

Shitsumon desu ka - Is it a question?

So, what I’m gathering from this is that he wants to have sex with cattle - but only the ones from the US.

Sounds about right for someone in the Trump circle.

Dammit, Timmy, you have fairy godparents; stop praying and start wishing!

As another US person, I don’t think you have anything for which you should apologize. Everyone, everywhere, should be angry about what the US is doing - internally and externally. I would never think it’s wrong to say “I wish Nazi Germany had imploded before it became WWII and mass murder”; Nazi US is no different.

It’s terrifying to be here but I don’t think anyone should be quiet about how awful this is.

Hugs to you, friend. I hope we all come out of this okay.

I wonder how many people wonder what their local laws are on the use of deadly force in defense of another. After all, someone not in uniform and not identifying themselves seems like they’re just a kidnapper.

You just described the current US administration pretty accurately. It’s appalling, and terrifying, to have thin-skinned toddlers with this much power.

I would also accept painfully and televised.

plastic surgery, veneers, and injectables like Botox and fillers

That sounds an awful lot like gender-affirming care. Guess they aren’t real women/men.

/s (except for the fact that I don’t think they’re even really human anymore, but that has nothing to do with the care they received and everything to do with the shit they spew)

I meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it’s been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.

I’m a bit concerned with myself that I instantly recognized the nose. You didn’t let me down.

Oh my goodness, that fluffy tail! Such a pretty kitty!

Maybe it’s because I’m from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

Why the fuck do they get to increase their staff when they’re telling the rest of the federal government (including understaffed agencies) to downsize? Hey, Donny, I found the waste, fraud, and abuse; it’s coming from inside the house.
