People keep making this point under the assumption that a World Series game was attended exclusively by people who live within 20 minutes of the stadium. I live on the VA/NC border and have friends who drove five hours to go to game 4. It’s not just DC natives.

It’s not as if many people from the hood can afford WS tickets. Those boos came from people with money.

It’s really the opposite.  It’s amazing his handlers would allow him out in public like this knowing how much he’s hated outside his little bubble.

I can’t believe it has taken this long for him to appear in public.

I honestly feel like something like this will be what brings him down. Not legal issues, or ethical violations....it will be something like a crowd booing and wounding his fragile little ego that will cause him to quit and let the world know, arms crossed and lip sticking out, that he didn’t want to be president…

I realize that Trump is the poster boy for the Dunning Kruger Effect, so yes, he probably did think that he would get a rousing ovation - hell, he probably thought the bullpen was going to call and ask him to come pitchy a couple innings - but is everyone else around him so brainwashed they honestly weren’t expecting…

This is just another in a long line of casting decisions that trigger such outrage for no other reason than they don’t look like what they’re “supposed” to look like. We’ve seen this before.

There’s absolutely nothing rational or sane about that approach, because they’re applying it to others, not themselves. They’re enraged that someone would eat this. Equally your point re: faux fur is completely irrational. There are rational arguments against faux fur (primarily: sometimes it isn’t faux), but “UR A…

That seems like a very different take to “hating” this and apparent anger that they’re “not for vegetarians”, which isn’t even true. I know several vegetarians, all I guess a lot younger than you, as you’ve been a veggie for nearly thirty years (so are presumably in your forties at least), who love this sort of thing.…

That’s a pretty demented and deeply elitist attitude.

So, can Fox begin acknowledging that he’s fucking senile now? Just screaming out Fake News at things he doesn’t like being asked about is like actual dementia-level-cognitive function. It makes zero sense and is hostile and insane.

Look, he’s doing everything he can every day to take this country back to the era that made Martin Luther King Jr.’s work necessary, ok?

I’m sure he wishes MLK Jr. the best and hopes he continues doing great things. 

Considering that the road team, Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, has a predominantly black student body and has been staying in the locker room during the national anthem for their previous games, this would seem like more than some good-natured ribbing.

I admire Trump and his team’s ability to successfully push the narrative that supporting Trump = supporting America. It is so far removed from reality that having to explain it to someone is almost more trouble than it is worth. 

“Which bone is most likely to be infected with racism? Femur? Rib? Have medical professionals ever confirmed the existence of a racist bone?”

Hey everyone, I found the guy with no kids.

As someone who absolutely adores and routinely donates to our national parks, this is sickening.

If there are not sufficient resources to keep the parks staffed, they need to close until such time as staff levels can be returned to normal (and ideally, government pissing contests wouldn’t ever get in the way of public…

This is terrible. The song is alright if you’re into it I guess, and Thicke is an idiot...but what the fuck? Half of a song’s revenue because it kinda lifted a beat? Every Cumbia and every Raggaeton song ever use the same beats, yet somehow the Latin music industry has thrived. This ruling is bullshit and bad for art.

Why is a verdict excellent that will open the floodgates to all kinds of ludicrous copyright lawsuits by artists who claim that a song copied a ‘feeling’ of another song? I get it, you hate Robin Thicke, but being so dense and short sighted is no way to go through life.
