What is it with grabtards and toys (and tell me that’s not creepily self-revealing)?
Or with professional propagandists?
No wonder they turned off comments and no “thumbs downs” appear. Still, what’s it say about the effectiveness of the Ad Council if they’ve been online with this for a year and still haven’t amassed 5,000 views?
I wonder how much of an expense they claimed to help justify President and CEO Lisa Sherman’s Form 990-reported $1,338,258 compensation?

Audience with the King
There are five main national Second Amendment advocacy groups in the United States. All of them and/or their sister organizations have indicated they’re in communications with the Trump Administration. [More]

Not that it mitigates a damn thing, but a more detailed story makes me wonder what kind of dynamics she brings to a relationship:
She said she did not think Seney, who had previously advised her to change her number to avoid the other man, suspected her of cheating. The other man, the report said, had previously threatened to kill her.
And from the But Wait! There’s More! Department:
State Police trooper charged with kidnapping, domestic violence – Joseph Ward allegedly shoved his then-girlfriend to the floor, charged at her with fists full of kitchen knives, and refused to let her leave their apartment. [More]
