"The vagueness of the standard for inclusion in the TSDB, coupled with the lack of any meaningful restraint on what constitutes grounds for placement on the Watchlist, constitutes, in essence, the absence of any ascertainable standard for inclusion and exclusion, which is precisely what offends the Due Process Clause," Judge Anthony Trenga wrote in his 218-page ruling.

Duterte is a controversial figure who has risen in popularity by billing himself as an anti-establishment outsider who would upend traditional Philippine politics — an everyman who offends polite sensitivities, but is attuned to the frustrations of people deeply disaffected with politicians they view as more interested in enriching themselves than addressing the needs of Filipinos.

Even in an age of "political correctness" and "I don't know what political correctness actually is but I will assume it's something that offends you and not me and therefore seems very bad," creativity still matters, and there was something creative to be done even with the skeletal remains of Bill Lancaster's original script, which Ficarra and Requa used as a basis.

In his short time in office, President Trump has set out to define his foreign policy agenda as one that is willing to upset the Washington consensus, to defend American interests even when it offends European sensibilities, to reward those who match their verbal support of the United States with action, and to exhort other nations to fight to defend themselves.

The states, including Maryland and New York, filed an amicus brief late on Friday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit where the case will be reheard en banc in March, saying FERC's ubiquitous practice of issuing tolling orders to extend the review period of projects violates their residents' constitutional due process rights and offends the states' sovereignty.

"We leave open the possibility that the legislature may enact a 'carefully drafted statute,'" Fairhurst wrote, quoting from the US Supreme Court's opinion upholding some states' death penalty statutes after the court had earlier, in effect, created a national moratorium on the death penalty in the 1970s, "to impose capital punishment in this state, but it cannot create a system that offends constitutional rights."

American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, which codified the "right to work" precept, represents the second—claiming that an employee's freedom is intruded on if he or she is required to pay dues to a union, despite the fact that the union can only use that money for the employee's own benefit, which offends the republican ideal of seeking the collective good.

But the truth of the matter is clear, and explains why Ivanka's not going to stop, and why credulous stories about her private struggle will appear every time her father's administration offends the world: Ivanka isn't a failure, but a swindler of global proportions who has supplemented her preposterous fortune by pretending—in a not particularly convincing way—to play an inside game she really has no interest in.

If the Senate confirms Brett Kavanaugh, it will be declaring that the United States is a nation in which one brand of religion enjoys a place of privilege; that we are a nation of laws — except in cases where the law offends those who subscribe to our preferred religion; and that we recognize the dignity of all people unless they belong to specific groups our national religion views with disapproval.

But I just happen to be, politically and ideologically, a very moderate person, so it's not very often, just by chance, that I post something that really pisses off and offends a lot of people, but there are — and I think this is true of everyone, everyone has particular issues, that's different for each person, that they care the most about, or that they feel the most passionate about.

I think the mental calculus on this one is probably closer than it's ever been, but the framework is roughly the same: If you're the kind of person who buys the high end iPhone every year then wait for the iPhone X. With the one caveat that if the notch for the depth camera on the front of the X offends you, well you have most of the major tech right in the iPhone 8.

Not when Mr. Sedaris wrote "Christ died for you" in one woman's book ("I teach high school students," she said, "nothing offends me"); or when in another's book he drew a picture of a three-legged bear with blood spewing from its stump because, he said, it had stepped on a land mine; or when he wrote "you will not be alone forever" in the book of a fan who said she was single.

Still, when you hear Dave Chappelle complain about audience blowback on the most popular Netflix special of the year or Ricky Gervais sigh at people's inability to take a joke while he's hosting the Golden Globes or Bill Maher inveigh against the power of woke millennials on his weekly HBO show, ask yourself: If the culture is so hostile to comedy that offends, why do these comics have the biggest, most prestigious platforms to say so?

She threw up a middle finger in her recreational time and posted a photo of it; there's nothing to suggest she would, for example, refuse to work with Trump supporters or refuse to serve white men on the suspicion they voted for Trump (this sets her apart, notably, from the many conservatives the Republican Party would like to allow to do just that -- but to gay men and lesbians, women who use birth control, Muslims, or anyone else who offends their religious beliefs).

And he makes the provocative suggestion—which could equally well be applied to other Housman poems, including the strange one that recommends plucking out your eye and cutting off your hand or foot if it offends you—that not every line need be taken at face value and the whole thing might be meant angrily or ironically: Oh you had forethought, you could reason, And saw your road and where it led, And early wise and brave in season Put the pistol to your head.

"It definitely offends me personally just because Obama had made serious outreach to communities of color and even though they may have been skeptical initially and really only rallied to him once he proved that he could win over white voters, there was still lots of outreach and focus and care taken to those communities in a way that I think has been very heavy handed and perfunctory at best with Pete's campaign," the former Obama staffer, who requested anonymity to speak candidly, said.

Since movies began, this offensive depiction has manifested itself in several ways: -- Promoting the "ooga-booga" stereotype of Africans as superstitious, simple and savage, which can be seen in many of the early Tarzan movies, and in films like "King Kong," (those Skull Island native scenes are ooga-booga to the max), 1931's "Trader Horn" (which features a white blonde jungle queen fighting a hostile tribe) and 1965's "The Naked Prey," in which a white man who offends a native tribe is first tortured, then hunted for sport.
