Washington doesn’t get nearly enough shit for destroying RGIII’s career by playing him in that playoff game when his knee was clearly fucked.

I’m a Browns fan - we fuck up every QB we get so completely I don’t even know what I want them to do anymore. (I really really DID NOT want Manziel, so thank you for that genius move, Jimmy).

Yes - there’s quite a large taste of “well, the victims WERE just commoners...” in this. Referring to this huge, horrific scandal as “the Nasser thing” is so maddeningly glib.

Exactly - I feel like we’re at the tip of the iceberg. The vast number of upper class shitheads involved is staggering, but it shows how rotten and evil wealthy, revered institutions are by nature. The kids are just an expendable revolving-door resource - the hallowed halls of charlatan greed must be protected at all…

Seriously, nowadays the game the Right plays is so transparent and nakedly hypocritical and absolutely corrupt to its core and the “true believers” don’t care, they just want someone to shout at them that the black president was awful and now things are better.

Regarding #1: it’s also important to note that the woman is a whore for getting pregnant and the man has zero responsibilities whatsoever.

Yes - this essentially is putting the onus entirely on those who were offended, as though normal people have to put up with a bunch of PC crybabies, so look who ruined racist names for us!

Exactly - there’s a smugness to it that hints at untold wisdom beneath the surface. And “the process” nine times out of ten is really just some shyster’s dumb idea that they treat as revolutionary.

Yeah, I first became aware of stuff like this - not Paul specifically - a few years ago when someone told me about a youtube channel...can’t remember the name...of a bunch of late teen/early 20s guys who lived in a big house and made tons and tons of “content” videos - apparently about whatever popped into their heads…

Aw man, Poochie got banned from Youtube?

Alas, this moment was completely lost because of the incredibly noisy family sitting behind us, and a couple of toddlers/babies whimpering at various places in the theater.

OMG - it’s SOOOO dangerous pointing that train right at the audience!

I’ve never minded the guy, but he is objectively ridiculous.

If just adding an “i”, I would’ve gone with Iferry.

Maybe. Maybe he’s a nice person. I’ve read that his entourage of douchebag friends who accompany him everywhere are a nightmare, and that he’s not much better. Hard to say. But if you choose to impose your asshole friends on those around you it’s not saying a lot about you.

Yes - he should sit down on his solid gold throne and have his butler bring him some tea and just be happy he’s got what he’s got. If U2 wants to keep making music, that’s great. They should make the music they want to make and not worry about whether they’re in the top 40 or whatever. I don’t understand why they…

Yes - exactly! Young (white) males have no musical outlet for their anger? Well, of course that’s bullshit, but as you say, what about women’s anger? Or are they not supposed to express their anger?

Very eloquently put.

I think U2 pre-Joshua Fire actually has a lot to offer. Once they made the leap to Stadium/Arena machine they lost their charm for me.

To be clear: Dylan truly WAS hugely, massively influential on pop culture in the 60s. He influenced everyone from The Beatles to Hendrix to...on and on and on.
