We gave our son children’s Benadryl to get him to sleep, but:

He was five.

He couldn’t sleep because he broke his arm earlier that day and we had to wait until the next day to get a cast on it (so the swelling would go down). He just had a splint, so every time he moved, it hurt.

When we called the ER to ask what to do so he could sleep, they said anything they would do would require him to be admitted, so the best solution was to just give him a dose of children’s Benadryl.

He was our kid, not someone else’s kid entrusted to our care with the understanding that we wouldn’t drug him.

She’s just saying she knows crime is high in Arizona because you don’t even have to go outside your home to find criminals. They’re right there next to you at the party you threw for them.

That’s ridiculous. He was executed for being black. The counterfeit bill was just the excuse.

Yeah, but if the hated turns into a complete rejection of everything he stands for, there’s a chance.

There’s a chance that Melania has instilled in him a deep and neverending hatred of his father. It shouldn’t have been too difficult. In an effort to rebel against everything his father represents, he might accidentally become a good person.

While discussing the imminent climate disaster with my elderly parents, they said they don’t care because they won’t live long enough to see it.

I asked, “What about your kids and grandkids?”

They asked, “Do you believe in God?”

I said, “No.”

They said, “If you Believe in God, then you’ll get to go to Heaven when you die.”

I don’t believe in God, so I won’t be going to Heaven (which I also don’t believe in), but if I did believe in God and Heaven, and expected to go there, why the hell should I and my children have to live through a post-apocalyptic shitshow before we die?

For the record, from what the church they made me go to taught me about God and Heaven, they should probably not expect to make the cut either. The God I was taught about was pretty anti-fascist. Kind of a socialist really.

True, but Owl and Rabbit weren’t mentioned.

They do complicate things, since Owl and Rabbit shouldn’t get along unless Owl happens to be too small for Rabbit to consider him a threat.

I came here looking to see if anyone would point out that they are toy animals, not real ones.

“This is frightening! Someone like me afraid of heights might just wet myself up there!” wrote one Chinese online commenter.

If you’re afraid of heights, why the hell would you be up there? Wrong turn on the way to the corner store?

Eyelash bugs.

You mean The Gangster of Love?

Fucking racists think if you’re anti-racist, you’re anti-white.

… state judges won’t finalize divorces during a pregnancy. Established in the 1970s, the rule was intended to make sure men were financially accountable for the children they fathered.

So, I’m assuming if you knock someone up in Missouri without being married, you don’t have to pay child support?

Are judges in Missouri just too damn stupid to include conceived but as yet unborn children in any child support requirements?

Or perhaps, it’s just about making sure men can continue to abuse their own “property”?

Today I was absolutely shocked to learn that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are great legal experts.

Anyone can be a great legal expert if you’re stupid enough.

No, the Conservative mindset is, “I imagine that I suffered to get where I am after a small million dollar loan from Daddy, everyone should suffer like I imagine I did even if they didn’t get free money from Daddy.”

Welcome to humanity

Sad, not mad.

Fascism is always a right-wing reactionary movement against leftists.

Except, in the U.S. our fascists don’t have any real Bolsheviks to stop, so they have to pretend that the center-right conservatives are actually Bolsheviks.

How about not electing people who would even entertain such an idea in the first place?

The people who vote for Trump vote for him because he would entertain such an idea &/or they are deluded enough to think they’re not on his list.
