The thing I never hear in all of this rending of garments: Hillary was incredibly unlikable and untrustworthy long before emails and Russians and Trump. Any portrayal of her as a bullet-proof candidate is wildly inaccurate. She was unlikeable in 2008, too. And a lot of those people we’re calling “racists” now for…

I’m glad that the law has finally stopped looking the other way with this bullshit.

Each day I’m more and more convinced that the commenters on Jezebel have never met anyone that isn’t like them (except their uncle or in-laws that they hate). The inability to grasp we lost is astonishing. The majority of people don’t find identity politics appealing. Most people vote for what they perceive to be the…

We saw this happen in WI; Walker took a bat to the knees of police unions, and yet even while protesting, the majority of police officers *still voted for him.* And this was a good four or five years ago. The way Walker has obviously, economically fleeced his state over and over again and yet gotten re-elected is one…

Obama’s staff are Democratic party staffers. None of them would take the job. The Republicans wouldn’t let Trump make the offer in view of the very reasonable fear of letting a fox into the hen house in terms of leaks to the press or to the Democratic opposition.

Yes, it was White Insecurity, which is not the same as, but certainly overlaps, racism and sexism and xenophobia.

“Apparently you shouldn’t alienate one of the biggest voting blocks in the country.”

Yeah, but on the left it wasn’t populist. Forgiving college debt? That doesn’t really win you a lot of blue collar votes.

It actually makes it easier because you don’t have to figure out tiebreakers.

No, your insurance provider made your insurance unaffordable.

Counterpoint: Situations like this are why we have trials. I’d never defend charging as an adult or life imprisonment, but this is murder. Abuse or not, shooting an unarmed human being to death is not an appropriate option.

Reading his timeline, it seems like he was actually objecting to the word “fuck.” Specifically, it being on the cover of the New York Times, and that he would have preferred “f***.” It’s a little old fashioned, but I don’t think it’s as colossally stupid as you make it out to be.

The music was also interesting: from Black Hole Sun being played on the piano to Paint it Black as the music during the gunfight scene in town.

I seriously don’t get why older people think you can believe everything you read online.

“I don’t spend my free time watching the NFL, just clicking on, reading, and commenting on a sports blog’s articles about not watching the NFL.”

There’s no way in hell that this story is even 1/10th as cool as the story of the first confirmed expedition to the North Pole in the ‘60s by a bunch of random dudes from Duluth with no overlanding expedition experience whatsoever. One of the best travel/adventure stories ever.

It is totally fair to argue that, but I see that next to no one here gets what you’re saying.

Understood. In that case, let me amend my original post to basically be: "I think the fact that she continues to do it in USA gear adds a ton of depth to the gesture, and I think the National team are being a bunch of soggy buttholes with their response."

So, just wanting to clarify: According to you, protesting is fine when it’s confined to your own country, but the second the international audience shows up, you need to lock that shit down 'cause Murika?

Exactly, which is the problem. Because that’s not the point.
