I believe the children are our future. They also might be the devil. But they're so adorable that we forget, and keep making more of them. These 18 kids proved themselves to be evil geniuses by roasting their parents so hard that they're probably going to need therapy, like, forever. I need therapy just from reading these.

1) Kids are too honest.

2) Never ask questions.

3) We all make mistakes. Like having kids.

4) A personal nutritionist.

5) This kid is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

6) When mom hates the word "moist."

7) When dad is a little gassy.

8) Mommy Oldest.

9) Future Picasso.

10) But what's a metaphor?

11) When you gave birth to the mom from Arrested Development.

12) The best Mother's Day gift of all.

13) When mom loves Henny.

14) Must do more research.

15) Too real.

16) That's just mean.

17) Secret's out.

18) Almost.


12 married people share their best advice about arguing. 'Don't go to bed mad' is BS.

0

For a newly engaged couple, there's a lot of fun stuff on the horizon — but probably also a lot of fights.

Luckily, the internet is full of people who've seen their fair share of marital issues and gotten through on the other side — and some who didn't! And all of them have some pretty interesting insight into how you can argue smarter, not harder, with your partner.

A recent Reddit thread tackled the question of advice for newly engaged couples — and quickly became a sounding board for how to handle conflict without destroying your marriage. Because apparently marriage = conflict. Who knew!

Whether you're getting married or not, these people know WTF they're talking about.

First off: when you get married, your loyalty changes:

Someone once told me “once you get married your wife becomes your family and your family become your relatives.” Really helped me through any stressful family gatherings, knowing we had each other’s backs, being our own team. - johnthestarr

And there's no more talking smack about your spouse.

On top of this - your parents/siblings are the last people you should gripe about your spouse to. They will usually take your side, but won't forgive and forget like you probably will. - spartankelli

The only problem is... the problem.

Disagreements are best dealt with when viewed as the two of you versus the problem rather than fighting one another. - iconoclastic_idiot

And treating the other person like the problem is no bueno.

Best lesson to learn about getting married, it’s not you vs your spouse. It you and your spouse vs the problem. Figure out how to work the problem out together, because you’ll never get anywhere tearing each other apart. - LegendaryOutlaw

Staying up all night to fight helps no one.

To add to that, the saying "don't go to bed mad" is bs. It's ok to take some time to calm down and revisit the issue later. - ilre1484

Fighting like a grown-up is paramount.

Anger is neither a reason nor an excuse for bad behavior. You will get angry, you will fight, but you should never insult, indulge in name-calling, throw things, or hit them. If you cannot or choose not to control what comes out of your mouth when you are angry work on that first, get married second. - questfor17

It's hard to come back from an insult.

If you are willing to insult your SO in anger or because you feel it will help in an argument, you don't respect them. If you don't respect them, you shouldn't be married to them. - WellAdjustedMale

Stay on your A-game at all times. Or at least once a week.

Be prepared to date each other forever. The second you stop courting each other, it all falls apart. No reason to not go on one date a week just the two of you. - softkermit

Breathing room is important.

Don't mistake "alone time" with "I don't want to be with you" time. - tjfraz

Sometimes marriage might be boring, but you have to power through it.

It won’t be sunshine and rainbows all the time and you will fall on and out of love with each other at times. Those are the times you remind yourself you chose this person for a reason and ask yourself if those reasons still apply. Still a good person? Loyal, honest, thoughtful, hardworking? Yes. So even if the cinematic love isn’t there, if the core of friendship survives, the Big Love can be recaptured over and over again as long as both people wake up every day and recommit to that “I Do”. - High_On_The_Shelf

You can't get mad at bodily functions.

You can have a good time with almost anyone. Don’t marry someone unless you know that you can have a bad time with that person. Marry someone who will have your back during disasters and help you clean up, pick up all the pieces and laugh together. Marry someone who will help you clean up puke, poop, and pee (especially if you plan to have pets and kids) and who will run you a hot shower when you’re done. Marry your “partner in disaster” and you’ll end up having a good laugh while you’re using the wet-vac to clean up an exploded fish tank together. - cthulhu-kitty

You might have to tell the other person they're bugging you once in a while.

have an ‘awkward night’ every once in awhile. A night where you know things will be brought up that have been bothering you about the other, little or big, so you can clear the air. - nerdygnomemom

Now go forth and fight smarter.

Ben Shapiro says a woman 007 doesn't 'satisfy men's wish fulfillment.' Yes, he got dragged.

0

Oh dear, Ben Shapiro is upset. Again.

The right-wing conservative commentator has expressed his disproval for the female casting of 007 in the upcoming James Bond film. His thoughts on the matter are long-winded, bizarre, and sexist, if you can believe.

It was recently announced that James Bond will be played by Lashana Lynch, a black woman, best known for her previous roles in Captain Marvel and Fast Girls. As you can imagine, some men are having a hard time with the fact that a black woman has been given a role that only white men have had over the years. You know how they get when someone else is given an opportunity...

Ben Shapiro's main argument was that a woman cannot play James Bond because she cannot "satisfy men's wish fulfillment." Um.

According to Shapiro, men like to watch James Bond films because it allows them to fulfill a fantasy where they can kill bad guys and bed beautiful women. He argued:

"Let's assume that she's just black, female James Bond which means she's bedding the handsome men. That is not in any way a wish fulfillment fantasy for the men who typically watch the Bond films because a disproportionate share of the Bond audience is male. So unless you're completely shifting the character, it makes no sense."

I didn't realize men were only capable of enjoying films if they made them feel like they could get laid.

Shapiro also commented that the role doesn't make sense for a woman because she physically could not take down bad guys who are bigger than her. So he's never heard of a strong woman, a female spy, female cop, etc? Cool.

Naturally, people gathered 'round to drag Shapiro for his sexist rant.

Anyway, can't wait to watch Lashana Lynch in the new James Bond movie and enjoy it for reasons beyond imagining someone would sleep with me.

Kendall Jenner got slutshamed by her ex-boyfriend's sister and it started a debate about sexism.

0
0

Kendall Jenner's dating life has been in the spotlight a few times. While she hasn't had to deal with the public scrutiny on the level of Khloe Kardashian during Tristan's cheating, or Kim Kardashian during Kanye's MAGA meltdowns, she is still part of one of the richest and most famous families on earth, so she's starred in her fair share of memes and twitter threads.

This week's debacle started when a photo of five NBA players made the rounds with a caption suggesting she dated them all.

Jenner was quick to shut the meme down, clarifying only two of them were her exes.

One of the NBA players featured in the meme was Kyle Kuzma of the LA Lakers, who was spotted hanging out with Jenner on a yacht during the Fourth of July.

While the photos from the holiday quickly lit up rumors about the two of them dating, Jenner quickly shut down the whispers by clarifying they "were hanging out over the holiday as friends."

Another one of the men featured in the meme was player Ben Simmons, who Jenner dated until earlier in the year.

Well, just last week, Simmons' sister Olivia posted a shady tweet about Jenner's dating history, a tweet that has blown up and started a week long dialogue about slutshaming and double standards.

Jenner fans were quick to defend her and call on Simmons to get his sister to leave Kendall alone.

As the debate continued on, Olivia pressed on by posting shady but somewhat vague tweets about "the truth" and Jenner's dating history.

One of the people on the thread pointed out how hypocritical it was to shame Jenner for "working her way through a league" when men dating scores of IG models don't get the same treatment.

Others echoed the sentiment, pointing out just how frustrating it is to see rampant slutshaming still going on.

It was also pointed out that Jenner doesn't need to date NBA players to be relevant, since she is already famous for her own modeling and reality TV show career.

It's depressing that cultural double standards still rage on when it comes to women's sex lives, but it's a good sign that more and more people are calling it out when they see it. That is what's needed for a cultural shift.

Peppa Pig is beefing with rapper Iggy Azalea over their competing album releases.

If you are a parent, babysitter, aunt, or really anyone with consistent internet access, you already know about the massive popularity of Peppa Pig. The animated star of the British television show has taken the world by storm in recent years, and our pig friend is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

On Monday, Peppa Pig announced she'll be dropping a fire album on Friday, much to the excitement of fans and animated pig enthusiasts across the world.

While the children star's news isn't in itself cause for controversy, the female rapper Iggy Azalea (best known for the hit Fancy, various feudsand getting called out for old tweets) promptly joked that Peppa Pig's release will affect her album sales.

Iggy Azalea's album In My Defense is also set to drop Friday, July 19th.

This is Peppa Pig’s Metamorphosis!

A post shared by T. Kyle (@t.kyle) on

Peppa Pig spared no time before quoting Iggy Azalea's lyrics in a reply tweet, which automatically created one of the weirdest internet exchanges in a hot minute.

Very few people could have predicted the white Australian-born rapper would have a public discourse with the British animated pig, but here we are, in the supremely bizarre universe of 2019.

The friendly exchange escalated quickly when Iggy Azalea demanded the two collaborate, or else she'll fry and devour Peppa Pig up for breakfast.

While Peppa Pig has yet to reveal if she's down for the collaboration, people on Twitter are experiencing a flurry of very unexpected feelings over the concept.

Understandably, a good handful of people are curious to hear what an Iggy Azalea and Peppa Pig collaboration would sound like. Who, in this collaboration, gets to set the musical tone?!

While others are still in shock from the words exchanged between a fictional children's character and a rapper.

Honestly, at this point, a collaboration between Peppa Pig and Iggy Azalea feels like a bizarre aural experience we all deserve to hear, for better or worse.

People are handing their photos to Russian troll farms, but in a fun way, as the app takes faces and makes them look realistically old!

20 hilariously relatable texts from parents who are still getting the hang of smartphones.

0

Not everyone has the same relationship with their parents. But one common thread among those of us with aging or baby boomer parents is that they don't seem to quite share our grasp of digital technology. This, combined with a generational tendency towards being overly honest, leads to some straight-up bonkers texts. "Texts From My Parents" is going viral on Twitter today, and the results are hilariously relatable. Here's 20 of the funniest that you'll want to share with your parents. But don't, unless you want to create mass chaos and confusion. Kind of like these texts:

1) I'll ask your sister.

2) R.I.P.

3) LOL.

4) You never know.

5) Where does she think texts go?

6) Everyone's favorite fruit.

7) The Vicks fix!

8) Children are the Google.

9) Teach him about filters.

10) Distance makes the heart grow more dramatic.

11) Sorry!

12) Kids, dogs, potato, po-tah-to.

13) Be good. Be successful.

14) Texting is scary though.

15) How do you get off of selfie?

16) There's a learning curve.

17) Just swing by.

18) Don't sugarcoat it.

19) Dads love to buy off-brand.

20) The guilt-trip is strong with this one.


15 divorce lawyers share the wildest reasons couples have filed for divorce. Bad breath?!

0

Divorce happens. Like, a lot. And it's often not pretty. We've all either known someone going through one, or been through one ourselves, and usually it's not the happiest of times. Something about breaking up with someone you assumed you'd spent the rest of your life with just doesn't sit well with people.

People get divorced for a myriad of reasons; loss of love, affairs, and revealed secrets to name a few. For the most part, people just fall out of love. But sometimes there is a more bizarre reason. And the people who are privy to these reasons are divorce lawyers.

In a recent reddit thread, user dankph asked divorce lawyers to share stories of the most outrageous reasons they've seen people file for divorce. Here are some of the most entertaining answers.

1. B-I-N-G-O (DRAGONPUTZ)

Paralegal here.

Still remember an early case i worked on, man divorced his wife for her Bingo Addiction. 10 to 12 times per week she went to bingo. She was 82 he was 86.

But the all time greatest. two 20 somethings, they were irreconcilable because he kept smoking her weed stash when she wasnt home.

2. The Chewer (TISM_riverphoenix)

Was a loud chewer at the dinner table. He developed a complex & literally needed out as he couldn't bear to eat with her.

3. The Dog House (Mutant_Zombies)

“The dog he bought me pissed on the carpet”

4. The Snitch (brandonrandom9)

Taught the parakeet certain cuss words for his wife. Hahaha. The parrot lives with the man now.

5. The Ross (The_Chaggening)

Not that outrageous, but our client’s wife (soon to be ex) of 20 years left him for her gym instructor, whom he introduced, and who’s also a woman.

6. The Gift (salamanderlemons)

I was the a legal assistant when this case came in, but this lady divorced her husband of two months because he got her an iPad case for her birthday instead of the expensive jewelry she wanted.

7. The Fail (Freevoulous)

He got drunk at the wedding, she did not like it, and decided to divorce him right after the Honeymoon (which she went to without him).

Moreover, this was all an elaborate scheme of divorce-robbery, because the guy was loaded, and so was his entire family....

They were loaded because they were a family of EXCELLENT lawyers, and he was a third generation lawyer, with all the smarts and experience of his predecessors combined.

Lets just say it did not go well for her.

8. The In-Laws (apolloxer)

He had an argument with the new inlaws during the wedding and moved out at around 5 am during the first night.

9. The Light (yeerk_slayer)

I knew a guy from a high school job who divorced his wife of 2 months because she would sleep with a nightlight but he could only sleep in total darkness, as they apparently never lived together until after getting married. He hated her nightlight so much that he would often sleep on the couch instead, but sometimes he would claim the bed for himself and lock her out of the bedroom for the night.

This was an eccentric late 40s man working at a burger king who acted like all the other high school coworkers were his best chums, and often told us these weird stories. I'm glad I don't work with him anymore.

10. The Momma's Boy (doublechocolatecooky)

Not me, but a friend my mum has divorced her husband because his mother still coddled him at age 40, with his consent. They lived with his mother (common in Asia).

By coddle I mean that she would walk straight into their room after his shower and powder his back for him.

They couldn’t lock their bedroom door because his mother would come in as and when she wanted. If they locked the door, she would knock repeatedly asking what they were doing.

Lol what would they be possibly doing??? Playing poker???

11. The Psychic (SkipFirstofHisName)

Staff Attorney for a judge.

Not a divorce but a custody modification hearing.

Ex-wife wanted sole L&P custody of the kids because the ex-husband was spending all his money on a palm reader/psychic and refused to pay child support.

On cross, ex-wife's attorney got him to admit that he was spending all his discretionary income on this psychic. He said he had spent over 5,000 dollars on "readings" and other services there. Judges frequently chime in with questions in domestic matters, so my judge asked why he was not paying support as his divorce decree required.

His explanation was i) the psychic could "read" that his children were provided for without his money and ii) he would be able to repay the ex when he takes the children to Mexico permanently to "seek great riches" there. Which my judge read as "my psychic told me to kidnap my kids".

tl;dr: Deadbeat ex-husband spent all his money on a psychic rather than child support. Told the judge he intended to kidnap his children.

12. The Bagel Boss Guy (dwayen_rooney)

Not a divorce lawyer, but the angry lil bagel shop guy divorced his ex wife because he decided he liked bigger boobs. Link with the interview where he says it included.

13. The Ransom (mennej)

She was kidnapped in Mexico and he refused to pay ransom. Eventually her family managed to pay and she was left on the side of the road. It is not outrageous as in petty but outrageous as how absurd that is.

14. The Master-B (fesityfoodie)

Worked in matrimonial law for a year and a half before I had to leave bc it just overwhelmed me with how awful humanity is.

I'll never forget filing papers that described her soon to be ex husband's behavior, including: "masturbates on the living room couch without closing the door and leaves sticky tissues everywhere" with further description of their 3 young children potentially walking in on him.

15. The Morning After (jfarell87)

I had a friend whose client who couldn't stand his wife's morning breath and got a divorce for that reason

Racist white lady freaks out at black guy who bailed on date because of her racist texts.

0

There's a common myth among white people that a person "can't be racist" if they've ever dated or slept with a person of color, or married one, or if they have non-white friends or children or family members. This makes no sense if you think about it—100% of misogynists are related or married to one or have one in their inner circle. You can harbor hatred for a group of people and still want to sleep with them. Men do it all the time with women.

Recently, a black guy in England had the experience of learning his date was racist, just in the nick of time.

He was meeting the woman at Rum Kitchen, a Caribbean restaurant in London, when she sent him a WhatsApp message asking if the restaurant had outside seating.“Yes,” he wrote back. “If you ask them to show to the outdoor seating upstairs I can meet you there.” She wrote back: "Just waiting outside.”

This is when she revealed her true, racist, colors. "I don’t like to go to black ppl’s places myself," she wrote.

At first, the guy was taken aback, responding only "???" She then clarified, and in doing so, just continued to reveal her racism.

“Meant by myself,” she wrote. "Like would never go to Rum kitchen by myself. Last time we went to rum kitchen I was nearly the only one white person there." Clearly taken aback, but probably not wanting to rile her up, he responded "a strange thing to say."

For some reason this woman felt the need to clarify between "blonde" whites and "dark hair" whites, as if being blonde somehow makes her more white. A Hitler-y comment if there ever was one.

At this point, the full extent of her racism had probably sunk in. The guy called her out, saying "I really don't like what you're saying." Understandably, he questioned why she wants to meet him if black people make her "uncomfortable."

Her response makes it seem like she's only just realizing he's black? Or maybe she prefers to date black people who are cool with her racism? Either way, she doesn't deny she's a racist and seems OK with it. What a horror show.

He called her out again for being "incredibly rude" before blocking and deleting her number.

The guy's sister shared screenshots of their convo on Twitter, where they went viral. "So my brother just went on a date with a white women from Tinder & apparently she doesn’t like being around black people," she wrote, adding: "I mean probably shouldn’t date black men then #confused."

The sister followed up to say that this convo is a "harsh reminder" for black people that "someone dating you doesn't mean that [they] are not racist AF."

She added the suggestion to "ask questions early" and "take [dates] to black spaces" in order to "save yourself some mental trauma ​​​​."

To add to his mental trauma, this Tinder psycho got "even madder" after the guy blocked her, and sent him more racist harassment via Instagram DM's.

She's right about one thing: he's on a different level from her. Because her level is pile of racist scum. It's incredibly sh*tty that people of color have to deal with this potential threat to their well-being and safety. As if dating isn't already hard enough?!? I hope his future is full of happier, non-racist Tinder encounters. I hope her future is full of loneliness and misery and empty of delicious Caribbean food.

Guy scams a scammer back so hard he gets called out by a friend. The internet disagrees.

0

Is it even possible to troll a scammer too hard?! This is the ultimate philosophical question being thrown around the internet after a man's recent confession on the Am I The Asshole subreddit.

The whole game of cat and mouse began when OP received a call from a scammer claiming his social security number was compromised.

"AITA for repeatedly calling back phone scammers attempting to get my social security number?"

"Not a throwaway because this is petty enough that it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things."

"I received a phone call on my cell phone yesterday from someone claiming to be from the Social Security office: it was a recorded message saying to call them back at the number they called from because my social security number was at risk. I knew immediately that this was a scam, but since you can’t really stop these calls (they usually scramble their number, so blocking the number essentially does nothing: it was not the case this time) I decided to call back and have some fun."

Rather than merely blocking the number, OP decided to call the scammer back and have a bit of fun with the situation.

When OP gave the scammer an obviously fake social security number ending in the letters "FU" he promptly received an earful from the scammer.

"I called the number and an Indian gentleman answered the phone, and requested my name and social security number. I told him my name was Mike Rotch (thanks Simpsons) and started rattling off a fake SSN, and inserted “FU” as the last two digits just to make it clear I wasn’t falling for their “brilliant” scam. The nice Indian gentleman responded with “fuck you motherfucker” and hung up."

After his first successful call back, OP decided to up the ante on his trolling, and spent his commute home hands-free calling the scammer a total of 40-50 times.

"Now if this is where I ended things, it would clearly be a validation post: it didn’t end here. I was thinking about how these guys could be getting actual SSNs from elderly or more gullible people, and decided to keep the ruse going. Luckily for me, they called right before I left work for the day and I had a 50ish minute commute home. I am able to essentially redial the number hands free through my car, so for my entire commute home, I kept calling them back: roughly 40-50 times in total."

Throughout the course of his calls, OP talked to 5-7 different men, all of whom became increasingly exasperated with his persistence.

"I found out that there were about 5-7 different Indian gentlemen all near each other at an airport-like setting (could hear background noises). They became increasingly irritated, but I kept calling. From my point of view, if they were busy dealing with me, they weren’t getting other calls (I would sometimes get a recorded message saying “the person you are trying to reach is unavailable at this time”).

Eventually, OP decided to stop his tirade of calls, at which point one of the scammers called him yet again.

This only restarted the cycle of trolling, which reached a climax when OP said he'd only stop calling if they wired him $2,000.

I stopped after my commute home, but lo and behold I get another call from them today. I decided to pick up the joke again and the first person to answer started with “did I talk to you yesterday?” but I said no and gave him a new boring name (Mark Smith). He quickly discovered it was me, and I began repeat calling again: roughly 50 times today. They threatened to freeze my bank accounts, then told me if I paid them $1,000 that they wouldn’t call me anymore: I told them I’d stop calling if they gave me $2,000.

When OP shared the series of calls with a friend, the friend claimed he took things too far, to which OP replied: can one even go too far with a scammer?!

I was telling a friend about it and he said IATA because I took it too far. From my point of view, they’re attempting to scam people: if I have the time, why not disrupt their scheme a bit?

"TL;DR - scammers called for my SSN, I called them back bothering them roughly 100 times in two days. AITA?"

Mrs_Peanutbutter believes you can never scam a scammer too hard.

"NTA you can never take it too far with scammers. These people destroy lives. I’ll look the other way, do what you will."

HeadFullOfStardust thinks if anything, OP should clog their phone lines even more.

"NTA. There’s no such thing as taking it too far with those fucking scammers. Keep calling them. Every minute you spend clogging their phone lines is a minute they can’t try to scam someone."

sessamekesh shared an interesting fact about scammers, and encouraged OP on his mission.

"NTA - is there an acronym for "you're a saint?" This doesn't fit under the category of cold-call sales people just doing their annoying jobs, this is people looking to steal lots of money from vulnerable people. Thank you for your service in making things hard for those asshats :-)"

"It is likely that by wasting their time, you are being more than a slight nuisance to them. I read a paper awhile back titled "Why Do Nigerian Scammers Say They are From Nigeria?" Interesting read, the gist is that time is valuable enough to scammers that they're willing to appear as obvious scams just to prevent well-informed people (who won't fall from their scam) from wasting any of their actual people's time. Keep doing that, I think I might just pick up the habit on my 45 minute commute as well!"

HIJKElemenohpee believes the scammers deserve far, far worse than OP has dealt out.

"NTA. If you're bothering them, good. You're right, the longer you keep them on the phone the less people they can call. They make their living exploiting elderly and gullible people and they deserve much more than to be bothered."

Searchingesook wants in on the trolling.

"NTA, there’s no such thing as too far with scammers...also ima stay at home mom with nothing better to do so can i have the number? I agree that they scam people who are vulnerable and need to be stopped."

After receiving mostly affirmation, OP clarified that they genuinely respect the opinion of their friend who thought they went too far, which is why they made the post in the first place.

"Edit: Early indication is I may not be TA. This wasn’t intended to be a validation post, I was more wondering if the excessiveness of my calling was a determining factor or not - it appears it is not a factor. Going to bed now, but will check in to see if the comments swing in the other direction overnight. Lastly, my friend is a really non confrontational guy, so his questioning of me being an a-hole had everything to do with the excessiveness of my calling. I value his opinion, and that’s why I created this post."

"Edit 2: a lot of people requested the number. The number is 1-844-xxx-xxxx. I just tried calling and got their automated message. They didn’t try calling me until after 10AM CST yesterday, and it was closer to 3:30PM CST on Monday. The best I can tell, they work an overnight shift somewhere. Note that a few people pointed out it could be a pay per call number, so proceed with caution. Edit 3: removed the number per mod request. Apologies for posting it."

For awhile, the number for the scammers was up in the post edits, but due to requests from a moderator, OP has now redacted it.

Gross video shows Trump and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein groping and ogling women at 1992 party.

0
0

Here's the latest video your Trump-supporting uncle is going to either ignore, call fake news, or insist is actually of Bill Clinton (that video has yet to be released).

Morning Joe dug up a video of President Trump partying with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 1992, back when Trump was running a company that refused to rent to black people people rather than telling them to go back where they came from.

The clip shows the two bros at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's club where he takes taxpayer-funded golf trips to this day, dancing with and on NFL cheerleaders.

In the video, Trump is heard telling the women, "C'mon, go inside," and is spotted living up to the Access Hollywood tape.

As Morning Joe's Mika Brzenzski narrates in the play-by-play, Trump and Epstein stare at the women dancing, and the president points to them like he's Mufasa introducing Simba to his kingdom.

Trump seems closer with Epstein than he is with Tiffany.

Trump is also seen saying, "she's hot," before whispering something into Epstein's ear that makes him crack up.

You can just hear the mouth-breathing.

Another moment that stands out is one in which Trump grabs a woman and gropes her.

Trump and the White House maintain that Trump doesn't know the man he has been seen partying with and praising. In 2002, the president once celebrated the pedophile for his enjoyment of "beautiful women...on the younger side."

"He's a lot of fun to be with," Trump said. "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

Excuse me as I go give my brain a shower.

Ex-Republican judge announces she's leaving the GOP because of Trump's racism in viral post.

0
0

Trump may be the anti-Christ. But he and Jesus do have one thing in common: the ability to make miracles happen. Jesus turned water into wine. And Trump is accomplishing a similarly impossible feat: turning Republicans into Democrats.

The latest Republican to abandon the "Grand Old Party" (they're right about "old") is prominent judge Elsa Alcala, who served as a Republican judge in Texas' highest courts for 20 years before her recent retirement. Alcala, a loyal Republican for two decades, is citing Trump's racism as her reason for deciding to vote Democrat in 2020.

In a scathing Facebook post, Alcala explains her reason for leaving the GOP, and also skewers Republicans who have defended Trump's racism on the grounds that he's on the "right" side of other issues.

And oh, lord, she did not hold back. She writes:

It has taken me years to say this publicly but here I go. President Trump is the worst president in the history of this country. I have had long discussions with friends who support him who say, "He is an embarrassment on x but he's been great about y and the Democrats are terrible about z." Even accepting that Trump has had some successes (and I believe these are few) at his core, his ideology is racism. To me, nothing positive about him could absolve him of his rotten core.

Alcala says that she cannot support the Republican Party since it supports Trump, and that she is absolutely unwavering in her decision.

She continues:

Nothing anyone could ever say on FB or anywhere else could ever convince me otherwise. In the next election, I will vote in the Democratic primary for the first time in over 20 years. I hope Democrats rise to the occasion and put forth some very qualified candidates and that every polling station will be overwhelmed with voters. The current Republican Party supports Trump so I cannot support that party in Texas or nationally.

She goes on to explain that she's grateful to the Republican party for supporting her in the past, but "that is no more."

She also calls out "pro-lifers," saying Republicans have "no moral high ground on the value of life" if they support Trump, whose actions are "resulting in the deaths of live humans."

The past Republican administrations were not Trump-like (they wanted an inclusive party) and I appreciate their past support of me but that is no more. Please don't lecture me about abortion because today Trump's actions are resulting in the deaths of live humans in other ways. There is no moral high ground by Republicans on abortion or the value of life. And don't tell me to go back where I came from. My relatives have been in this Texas area since it was before the USA and I was born in the USA. My English is probably better than yours and my Spanish is mostly Spanglish (I wish my Spanish was better).

She ends her post by saying the U.S. as a country is "better than this" and that any of the Democratic presidential candidates are "superior to the status quo."

I spent 29 years in government service to help the people of our country and I love our country and it's people. And I have given more to this country than the vast majority of people. What I know for sure is that we, as a country, are better than this. To me, any of the viable Democratic presidential candidates are superior to the status quo. You may unfriend me if you wish and I will unfriend you if you choose to be rude in your response. I don't plan to be political too much on social media but I needed to say this publicly for my own conscience (I've been saying it privately since Trump was a candidate).

Wow.

This is a scathing indictment of Trump if there ever was one. Kudos to Elsa Alcala for choosing truth, ethics and humanity over party. And also for switching to the better party :)

People on Reddit respond to guy shaming a woman who wore just a bra to deal with the heat.

0

The internet can be a terrible cess pool full of misogyny, racism and general stupidity. But once in a while, it makes us proud.

That was the case on Reddit today, when a guy tried to mock a woman for wearing just a bra to cope with the heat — and got his butt handed to him instead.

The Redditor posted a photo of the woman at the checkout of a convenience store. She's wearing a red bra with a flannel shirt tied around her waist. The caption on the photo: "I know it's hot out, but really, your bra, in public."

Longtime Reddit lurkers might have braced themselves for a waterfall of hate and shaming after reading this. Especially because it was posted to the subreddit /r/trashy, a place that's basically designed for people to shame those who they view as beneath them.

But surprisingly, the reaction was a resounding "who cares?"

The most upvoted comment was one of support (ha) for the bra wearer: "How is a bra any different than a bikini top," the comment reads.

"Its not," commenter Davescash said,"this is a stupid post."

The rest of the comments under this photo are overwhelmingly nice, too.

People went out of their way to not only defend the woman in the photo, but roast the person who posted it.

"Do women's breasts intimidate you?" asks user J4G3HALO.

"How dare women... wear clothes?" wrote user NightsEve.

"How dare she take her top off. Men do it the whole fu**ing time get over it," wrote TaZmaniian-DeviL90.

"you’ll live," another commenter wrote succinctly.

The original poster tried to defend himself — and got ripped to shreds for that too.

He asked what would happen if someone's kid saw a shopper walking around scantily dressed to beat the heat.

"Ok so if I go to target, in a banna [sic] hammock. And walk around in front of your kids is that ok," the OP wrote.

"You'd be better off teaching your daughter that she should feel comfortable in her body and shouldn't judge others based on how they dress," commenter interesting_porsche shot back.

So thanks, Reddit, for defending this woman's right to wear only a bra in the excruciating heat much of America's facing right now.

We're surprisingly proud.

15 parents share the secrets they know their kids are keeping from them. We found the peach vodka.

0
0

Kids always think they can keep a secret.

Most attentive parents know pretty much everything their kids are doing and thinking. However, part of being a kid is thinking you can pull the wool over your parent's eyes and it's sometimes fun to watch kids think they're really getting away with something.

Whether it's a hidden snack, an internet search gone wrong, or a diary confession, if a kid is trying to hide something from their parents there's a 90% chance the parents already know. Kids are smart, savvy, and inspiring, but they're not the best at keeping information to themselves...

When a recent Reddit user asked, "Parents of Reddit, what do your kids think they are hiding that you know about?" the internet was ready to deliver the craziest things their kids think they have no clue about.

1. Oh my god, "Thegauloise."

My son searched "naked sexing" on YouTube.

2. This is so cute, "848Des14."

My daughter keeps "sneaking" stuff to school. Only she tells our cat EVERYTHING, so she waits until I go to the bedroom to get dressed every morning, then says out loud "Jingles I'm taking my burger squishy to school today okay don't tell Mum".

I can hear you. You're talking out loud. I don't care if you take your burger squishy.

3. Snack thief! "STORMinthian."

My 3 year old always asks for extra snacks "to give to Daddy." I never see any of those snacks.

4. Kids need mops? "Mental_Vacation."

The mop. He is 2 and thinks he can hide it behind his back when I walk in the room and I won't see it.

5. It's always about snacks. "Allisade."

My kids don't understand that it's a small house with thin walls and they can't go to the kitchen and steal snacks (or do anything really) without us hearing them do it.

Hell, my kids still try to "sneak" down our squeaky ass stairs and surprise me - and are genuinely befuddled when I know they're behind me without looking.

6. This is so adorable, "Hastur082."

I used to have a huge wooden wardrobe in my room. It was from my grandmother, very heavy and sturdy (the wardrobe, not my granny) now, the wardrobe is in my daughter's room (she is 8)

She found that you can take out a wooden board of the wardrobe and there is a hidden space beneath. She has a stash of chocolates and her diary there

She doesn't know that I used the same trick to hide stuff. One day I will tell her

7. Aw, "Aedamus."

My son has a crush on a girl a few houses down. She is 15 or 16 and he is 12. He thinks nobody knows.

Wife and I know, her parents know, SHE knows, his uncle across the country knows, hell the ice cream truck guy knows.

Thankfully she is an awesome kid and is careful about his feelings on the matter.

8. What a routine! "EntryLevelNutJob."

When my son was 2 he would "sneak" out of bed. Every night around 10 minutes after we put him to bed we'd hear his door creak open and then we'd see him run past the hallway entrance and hide behind the corner. The longer we ignored him the more he'd giggle until he'd finally tip toe up to the couch and climb into my lap.

9. "It's a flash drive." "peacegrrrl."

His juul. In plain sight. He doesn’t know (yet) I know it isn’t a flash drive.

10. This is creative, "PM_BUTT_PICS."

My son is 4. He tells us he's allergic to tomatoes so he doesn't have to eat them.

He's not.

11. Let 'em lie! "losier."

My kid is 6. She’s just discovered lying and it’s hilarious. She doesn’t do little white lies, she tells totally unbelievable stories. I go along with them as she’s telling it, until she reveals it was made up. Sometimes I tell her I knew, other times I let it pass. I encourage her, by engaging like it’s real because I’m curious about her make believe.

12. This is so smart, "paingry."

My husband told my 6-year-old daughter that when you lie your ears turn red. Now we know whenever she's lying because she makes sure to cover her ears first.

13. UGH, "metal_bulb."

My kid has peach flavored vodka hidden in his bedroom. He’ll know I know when he finds I replaced it with water. Peach flavored vodka?! What the hell?!

14. You have to encourage reading! "Zodiacmom."

My 4 year old has a stash of books hidden in between the wall and her bed so she can "read" instead of sleeping. I did that up until high school and am happy to pass on rebellious reading so I don't mention it.

15. Super sleuth! "cartoonybear."

My daughter smoked pot a few weeks ago and didn’t like it. Lololol. I did finally let on that I’d figured this out and she thought I was a psychic genius. Nope, just, I was a bad kid who didn’t get along w marijuana also.

Guy calls Megan Rapinoe an 'arrogant wanker' and gets called a 'fragile hypocrite' by her fans.

0

Don't come for Megan Rapinoe if she didn't send for you. This should be written down and remembered by every person online who feels tempted to slight her name. Regardless of whether she decides to give a troll the time of day or not, her fans will undoubtedly fill the mentions of anyone who dares cast aspersions on the soccer player's name.

To this very point, a man on Twitter quickly faced the wrath and collective eye-roll of Rapinoe fans when he wrote he dislikes her because she's an "arrogant wanker," not because she's gay.

People were quick to point out the double standard between male and female athletes.

It's super common for male athletes to be applauded for their confidence, yet a lot of people still recoil at the sight of a woman who believes in her skills. Even when she's one of the most accomplished athletes in the entire world.

He also received a lot of critiques accusing his tweet of male fragility, and an overt sense of being threatened by an excellent woman.

People also brought up the fact that female athletes receive more guff for being "arrogant" or "unlikeable" than male athletes do for being violent abusers.

Here's the thing: no one is obligated to like Rapinoe, regardless of gender. But claiming a professional athlete is disliked for being "arrogant" is a bit of a stretch given the fact that confidence is a must-have for professional athletes. Especially, since male athletes often exhibit far more of it.

Woman called 'murderer' by Planned Parenthood protestors during visit to screen for cancer.

0

Planned Parenthood is under attack by the current administration, and by many anti-abortion protestors, largely because the organization has become associated with the polarizing issue of abortion.

But the reality is that, while some Planned Parenthood clinics do provide abortion services to women, this only makes up about 3% of the services they provide. As the leading provider of reproductive health care in the country, the organization provides care to 2.4 million people each year, many of whom wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.

Their services include: birth control, emergency contraception, clinical breast exams, cervical cancer screening, pregnancy testing, prenatal care, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, sex education, vasectomies and LGBT services. Planned Parenthood's main goal is to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, which ultimately leads to fewer abortions.

A woman named Autumn Mizer recently shared a post on Facebook about how Planned Parenthood saved her life, and the abuse she had to endure by protestors on her way to a cancer screening. The post highlights how invaluable the organization is, especially to people who don't have the resources to afford lifesaving health care.

Autumn first went to Planned Parenthood when she was 17 with no insurance and "couldn't even afford tampons." They provided her with long-lasting birth control, free of charge.

Two months ago, at age 21, Autumn returned to Planned Parenthood after being given the terrifying news that there was a "high chance" she had late term cervical cancer.

On her way into the building to get tested for cancer, Autumn was harassed by protesters who "threw stuff at the building" and "insulted" her, calling her a "murdering bitch."

The "real kicker" she says, is that the clinic she went to doesn't even offer abortion services.

The clinic discovered that Autumn had an internal infection that could have killed her if they hadn't spotted it. They also didn't charge her for tests and helped her pay for 90% of the medication.

Planned Parenthood saved her life.

As Autumn points out, Americans' tax money doesn't actually go towards Planned Parenthood performing abortions. Instead, that funding allows Planned Parenthood to help women like her receive health care services they desperately need.

She is one of countless women whose lives have been saved by the organization that opponents call "evil." Men, too, have benefitted from Planned Parenthood's services.

After Autumn's post was shared on imgur, both men and women are sharing their own experiences in the comments about how the organization has helped them and their loved ones.

Seriously, if you're a person who's thinking about harassing people outside a Planned Parenthood, go do literally anything else instead. Take a walk. Read a book. Volunteer with kids in foster care. This illogical obsession with "saving" embryos is causing harm to living, breathing women.
