Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

HEATHCLIFF: I'm agonizing over not killing my foster brother's baby, but I guess I'll bilk the lad of his inheritance and raise him as a servant. Also I'm going to hang the dog of my ex's sister-in-law's, then marry her for purely spite reasons.

I wonder how many of those "the government should be run more like a business" types were aware that this was going to be the endgame.
The EPA has stopped using the number of lives saved as a benchmark for air pollution rules.
Their new plan? Calculate the cost to INDUSTRY when setting pollution limits.
Trump's EPA cares more about profits than human lives.
