It’s been working fine for decades in the US. Corporate welfare in the billions and trillions. Farming subsidies. Pork barrelling for congress’s districts. Tax cuts for the rich. The only people not in on it are the poor.

You guys know anything about this Georgia Southern QB Shai Werts who got pulled over by South Carolina cops who claimed a bird poop on his car was cocaine?

They didn’t even finish the tour and see the sex dungeon full of latex and rubber Nazi-themed bondage gear. Or the shooting range with targets that all look suspiciously like black folk.

It will last indefinitely now, because there are enough people out there who DO NOT CARE as long as their prejudices, fears and ignorant rages are being catered to. He could commit everything he’s been accused of, on film, and have it on the 6:00pm news, and he would stay in power and his supporters would stay with…

Why didn’t he have to pay bail? In fact, he is such a clear threat to the public he should have been denied bail and kept locked up for everyone’s general safety.

And can you survive another more years beyond that if the typical non-voters stay home next federal election?

There’s an all-night coffee place in my town called Death Before Decaf, and I think they have one comfortable chair. Only other seating is a bunch of milk crates lined up along the sidewalk out front. Maybe that’s Australia for you.

Create a small wi-fi laptop users communal area with sub-optimal seating like milk crates

Younger me wouldn’t believe there’d ever come a day when I found Mercedes Benz performance vehicles more interesting and desirable than BMW.

I don’t know about the source material but I thought the series was great. Homelander was creepy/scary as hell, and I liked that the audience and people in his inner circle never feel safe in a room with him, while the public at large still worship him. For me, it’s an analogy of how someone like Trump can be an…

In the end, his action isn’t that bad. What should get called out is almost every actor’s attempt at playing tennis in any production that requires it. That right there is some uncoordinated shit.

Yep, that’s what I’d expect Team Moscow Mitch to look like.

Donald Trump: ‘I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and not lose votes.’

Meanwhile here in Australia, two female conservative party staffers have gone public because when they reported their cases of sexual assault to senior party figures, they were given the brush off. They were given lip service, it was suggested they should take it as a compliment, and then later when one of the accused…

As much as Trump is a blatant racist, is there any point calling him specifically out on it anymore? All it does is entrench his base’s imagined resentments and fire up their misguided support for him even more.

That kid is lucky some school deputy didn’t pull a gun on him because:
a) He had something in his hand
b) He was moving
c) He was acting uppity
d) He black

Now maybe... and just hear me out here... there might be some racial bias involved here.

Civilization has stripped most of us of our situational awareness, ability to judge risk, and possibly common sense. Nothing much bad happens to most people so the thought that it could doesn’t enter people’s heads.

You mean kneeling in front of a glory hole in a truck stop men’s room to pay for meth, then puking

Really glad they were tracked down and hope they are given the maximum penalty that minors can receive for this. Although they may be able to claim they are not adults, they are already fully-fledged assholes and violent criminals.
