Of course he didn't listen. Why would he.

Prince William Used to Have the Most Hilarious Nickname for the Queen

SpinnyNuNu

Toddlers give the best nicknames. My kiddo called me "Bubba" because he couldn't pronounce the letter M. Elmo was Elbow, cows said, "boo," and I was Bubba.

I'm amused by the notion that not only was the Queen called Gary by her grandson, but also that she responded to it.

We imagine he is the ONLY one who could get away with calling her this.

CA family booted off Delta flight after not giving up toddler's seat

SpinnyNuNu

Another article mentioned that while the flight wasn't overbooked, there were people waiting to fly standby. These airline employees were trying to fill that seat with a different body and it had nothing to do with having the wrong person's name on the manifest or they could have just pretended that the car seat was the original passenger holding the infant.

A California family says they were forced off a Delta plane and threatened with jail after refusing to give up one of their children's seats on a crowded flight.

Franklin Graham To Kate Middleton: Don’t Want Your Topless Photos To Leak? Then “Keep Your Top On”

by Hemant Mehta
SpinnyNuNu

>>If you don’t want topless pictures of yourself taken, it might be a good idea to keep your top on at the beach

She was not at the beach, you fuckwit, she was at a private, secluded villa where she hoped to have a modicum of privacy. This was not her flaunting herself and then being upset that someone took a picture. This was an invasion of privacy with a long-range telephoto lens.

That is slut-shaming at a level only Christian leaders can manage.shutterstock_186607310

Trump’s Banksters and the Rollback of Dodd-FrankDonald Trump has...



Trump’s Banksters and the Rollback of Dodd-Frank

Donald Trump has ordered a rollback of regulations over Wall Street, including the Dodd-Frank Act, passed in 2010 to prevent another too-big-to-fail banking crisis.

Perhaps Trump thinks that we’ve forgotten what happened when Wall Street turned the economy into a giant casino, and then – when its bets went sour in 2008 – needed a giant taxpayer funded bailout.

Maybe Trump thinks Americans forget losing their jobs, homes, and savings in the fallout.

Many people who voted for Trump got shafted. I hope they haven’t forgotten that while they suffered, not a single bank executive went to jail.  

Trump supporters need to join with Democrats and progressives in stopping this rollback, and holding Trump accountable.

The biggest banks are far bigger today than they were in 2008. Then, the five largest had 25 percent of U.S. banking assets. Today they have 44 percent. 

If they were too big to fail then, they’re too big period now. 

Getting rid of Dodd-Frank triples the odds of another financial crisis. 

Meanwhile, Trump has brought more banksters into his administration than any in any previous administration – mostly, from Goldman Sachs. 

The head of Trump’s economic council is Gary Cohn who was president of Goldman Sachs. Other Goldman alumni include Trump’s right hand man, Steve Bannon, Trump’s pick for Treasury, Steve Mnuchin, Trump’s pick for the securities and exchange commission, Jay Clayton and another White House advisor, Dina Powell. 

Now remember, a decade ago, Goldman Sachs defrauded investors and ripped off its customers and it’s paid nearly $9 billion in government fines. 

Many of Trump’s banksters were there at that time. 

Don’t let Trump and the Republicans endanger our economy again. Let’s not make the same mistake twice.

17-year-old recounts trying to save friend on American River

SpinnyNuNu

Every fucking year. Every year, people try to swim in the local rivers during snow melt time. I know it's warm outside, but it should be common knowledge at this point that swimming in the rivers is super dangerous. They are far colder than you would think, and they are moving far more quickly than it appears.

There's a reason there are life jacket stations up and down the river.

This is so preventable.
