I assume by “carrot” you mean bribing her to retract the story. I guess this is techbically possible. However, any bribe the school offered her would have to exceed the family’s expected payout from a lawsuit against the school, which would be substantial (likely seven figures, given the nature of the attack and the am…

Yeah, I have no idea what “good press” Mike Leach thinks the Cougars were receiving. WSU is a middling Pac-12 team that most people forget exists half the time. Since he became coach in 2o12 they’ve never made the top 20 in any AP preseason poll. No one expects this team to do much.

I have absolutely no sympathy for Trump voters. They knew exactly what an irredeemable piece of shit he was, and they voted for him anyway. These people aren’t just stupid - they’re mean, selfish, greedy, racist, and uncaring about the well-being of others. They had a clear choice to make in 2016 and they made it. And…

Trump is literally the personification of the Seven Deadly Sins:

This. Trump realized: “Why bother going through the effort and coordination of real opposition research when you can just throw a bunch of made-up shit against the wall and see what sticks?”

There’s no fucking server. He completely made that shit up.

It’s actually worse than that. Trump constantly repeats conspiracy theories, but it’s unclear which of them he *actually* believes vs. which ones he only pretends to believe because he thinks they are useful in damaging his political enemies and firing up his base. 

The modern conservative concept of free speech is essentially: "I can say whatever I want, but if you criticize what I said in response, that's somehow censorship."

To play devil's advocate here: I don't think this appeal is about money, PR, or even principles. Barcelona is likely hoping that an overturned ruling will establish some kind of legal precedent that will allow them to continue doing more transfer shenanigans in the future.

Yeah, America’s asshole sports fans are (individually) just as drunk, stupid, violent, and racist as our European counterparts. The difference is that the American ones are too lazy to create those coordinated and structured hooligan mobs like the Europeans do.

Yeah, I have no idea what people are talking about when they say that NYCFC supporters clubs have a problem with “white nationalism”. Never heard of this before, it doesn't make sense, and it sounds made up.

Being a leftist doesn’t automatically mean you support (or even tolerate) communism. Communism is an extreme political ideology that most progressives reject for a litany of ideological and historical reasons.

Yeah, Portland is weird as hell. The city itself is one of the most liberal places in America. But drive 15 miles away in any direction and you will encounter some of the most racist and bigoted motherfuckers on the planet.

Something something fine people on both sides.

“Kapo" and "Capo" are not the same word, dumbass. They're not even the same language.

It’s a pretty depressing commentary on the current state of American society that being anti-fascist is considered to be a “controversial” political position.

Seriously. The dude inadvertently received a financial windfall because of a random viral TV stunt and decided to donate it all to a children’s hospital, when he could have just kept it for himself. This act of generosity definitely outweighs a pair of racist jokes (which he made as a teenager and has already…

Social media has made everyone so fucking dumb. 

[Listens into earpiece some more] However, we cannot confirm at this time whether the tweets in question were typed using an iPhone, an Android handset, or some kind of personal computer. We now go live to our panel of technology and social media experts for analysis of how these tweets may have been written and what…

White dude from Iowa once said some racist shit.
