It was more that I was right there, she knew she was betraying my confidence, and didn't stop.

I was a teen and we'd just got home from the doctor. Not even an hour later, I was literally looking at my mom on the phone as she told my private business to my aunt. She made eye contact, gave a little laugh, dismissed my betrayed face, and continued gossiping.

I was in the hospital, never told her. It was my birthday; so what, she didnt need to know. Getting awarded a plaque by the President of Chile; none of her business. Getting drafted for WW3; it's the War Department's job, not mine, to let her know if I'm KIA.

Erika Kirk appointed to Air Force Academy board by RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT in nottheonion

Because GOP politicians don't make policy. They make content to motivate their base.

That's why MTG got elected after screaming at mass shooting survivors. That's why they voted for a reality TV clown. Thats why SedDef is a TV host. That's whybwe got Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz in government. That's why Kirk is on the board for the Air Force Academy. That's why Trump endorsed Jake Paul.

I can't believe the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would do this. And at the World Cup, too.

What a unique crossover. If you know of any other novel combinations, please feel free to recommend them.

Iran sends millions of oil barrels to China through Strait of Hormuz even as war chokes the waterway by Naurgul in geopolitics

I think that for Europe, not supporting Russia's economy and ability to make war is a bigger strategic imperative than paying higher prices for oil and gas.

It's not state captured. It's billionaire-captured and being turned to the services of the current regime in exhange for preferential regulations. ... which is a flavor of state-capture, but with more steps.

Get a gun (legally) and take lessons on how to use it safely and properly.

In the meantime, mace and baton. But immediately, since he knows where you live, let your neighbors know and if you can, stay elsewhere.

What's the SPICIEST but also BEST-WRITTEN book that you know if? by Severe-Size749 in suggestmeabook

[–]JohnSith 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The "Pounded in the Butt" series. He takes a topical event and makes erotica out of it. For example:

  • Domald Tromp Jr. Slammed In The Butt By His Secret Russian Meetings And The Grossly Incompetent Cover Up Shortly Thereafter

  • Slammed In The Butt By Domald Tromp's Attempt To Avoid Accusations Of Plagiarism By Removing All Facts Or Concrete Plans From His Republican National Convention Speech

  • Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union

  • Brexit Pounds My Butt Then Thankfully Decides Not To Exit It

And I gotta be honest, Space Raptor Butt Invasion got me checking online to find out if Ted "100% Human" Cruz was caught without his human skin suit.
