The Hall of Fire

I'm surprised Harris dropped out. Some have speculated that perhaps she didn't have a strong idea of her position on healthcare etc... and didn't feel as if she wanted to continue until/unless she had that sorted out.

:bang: Seriously. UGH. Does anyone remember Nicolae Ceaușescu? The Romanian communist politician? He wanted to grow a huge workforce so he made women of childbearing age submit to monthly exams. If they conceived they got extra food rations (while many people went hungry). Birth control was strictly...

People think of abortion restrictions as something men impose on women, but if you look at the gender breakdown, support is almost exactly 50/50. That may be, but the majority of legislators are men and it's especially grating and demeaning. Idiot legislators making comments about how women who are...

I wouldn't consider myself an advocate of abortion rights but I'm REALLY not an advocate of congress(men) especially making legislation of this type. They are not doctors and the ideas and beliefs that make it into legislation prove their ignorance &/or malice toward women and their desire to co...

Oh, this is SO nice!! Public transit system honors Rosa Parks with open seat on every bus.

I was just coming in to post this same story.

Hmmm. I could easily paint one myself...

I've seen some really good ones..the Hawaiian landscape..one with Westies.. just about anything one can imagine.

I'd put Trump's (original) tweet in the 'Fake News' category.

I did art appreciation for children for many years. When it comes to something like 'VanGogh' I would pronounce it the 'English' way but I would also (at least attempt) to pronounce it the proper way so that they would know if they ever heard it pronounced differently.

I know the proper Dutch pronunciation, but I also know how Americans tend to pronounce it/how it was intended to be pronounced in the meme. It sounds kinda pretentious if American's say it the way it would be said in Dutch.

OHMYGOSHIJUSTLOVETHAT!!!!!

And in today's episode of "Not the Onion" … Trump tweets out doctored photo of his head on Rocky Balboa’s body I caught something on the news where he was at one of his rallies talking about what an amazing chest he has.. I thought.. that's really a weird thing for him to say (and *gag*)....

One of the problems with the Mueller probe and the impeachment hearings are that investigators have been blocked from 'following the money'. A money trail would tell the public something concrete, either way. They have found money flowing into the NRA and illegal and foreign contributions, but how i...

Oh... *sigh* :doh: :nono: :bang: Trump: Why Wasn’t 100th Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage Observed ‘Years Ago?’ Dog-gate is another :doh: White House Flummoxed by Sex of Hero Dog Conan This may seem like a small thing, but checking the gender of a dog is a pretty easy thing to do. But if someone's eg...

True. How about 'I am not a criminal'. However, he's more likely to say he can do no wrong because he's a supreme being or something.

LOL.. That would fit well in the 'Unfortunate typo's' thread, even though it's not really a typo, it would fit in with the discussion about using Google translate for translations.

I'm waiting for Trump to say, "I am not a crook' (not realizing those are the same words Nixon spoke) because Trump seems to know nothing about history. Or the law. Nor does he likely care, as long as he gets his way.

oh, I must have misunderstood your comment.

Buzzfeed news has improved their reporting in the last couple of years. I like their daily newsletter.
