The flaw in his argument is that it’s reasonable and well articulated.

“Gimme a T!”

People’s resilience and ability to not be physically harmed by words is not a reason to perpetuate demeaning and hateful expressions, even if they’ve lost some of that ugliness over time. I get what you’re saying here (they’re only words, right?), but this concept of “people just shouldn’t take it the wrong way” is…

Can we just stop with the “calculated political move” commentary in general? Spoiler alert: 100% of all elected officials are politicians who make calculated political moves. This is a solid policy that will help a lot of people. It doesn’t matter if deep, deep down Gillibrand thinks pot is the devil she has to sell…

Sure, what Gillibrand is doing may be a calculated political move, but at the end of the day, impact matters more than intent.

Just wait for his press conference when he claims he could’ve signed Eriksson, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Alli, Dier and Kane when they were all under-16 but they decided to invest in Arshavin instead.

Counterpoint, if Hugo Lloris had knocked aside that first penalty he accurately judged to the right side, Spurs win 2-1.

Hmm. Hair not good enough to be Toby Alderweireld.

and if Kane had been given the PK he deserved in the first half, or if Juve’s first goal had properly been waved off for offsides, Tottenham could’ve come away with a win instead of a draw....

COYS!

this may shock you, but soccer is played over the course of a long season, and a defeat in november is not always relevant to how a team is playing in February or will finish later this spring. They are in 5th, but having just taken seven points from Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal, they should be able to work their way…

Yeah, totally. And if an asteroid hit the field during the match, everyone would have lost.

Spurs don’t even make you mad, they’re actually funny to you, actually.

People aren’t opting out of the union, just the dues that fund it. They will be free riders, in that they will be in the union but not formally (as in paying). Less money means less power. Less power means a reduced voice for the worker, meaning big business can continue to exert its outsized influenced on our lives…

Somebody needs to be taken Outback and shot.

Wait, so Canada built a guy from scratch like Frankenstein, with the express intent for him to be a snowboarder, and he could only win bronze? Nice try hosers!!!

Men: Women should do everything.
Women: *Start doing everything*
Men: WOAH, the femi-nazis are taking over! I don’t even know if it’s acceptable to proposition a stranger on the street anymore!

Lindsay Graham’s comment is fucking stupid on its face - “We need an national event saying ‘Thank You’ to our men and women in uniform?”

I bet he pleated with them to reconsider.

The contract is for three years and comes with plenty of Percs.
