B-b-but he had a killer opening line about just moving from San Fransisco. What Midwest rube wouldn’t immediately get wet for his clearly endless stories about what a favor he is granting to this hick so-called “city” by his learned presence?

I read the article and followed two of the links to the subject’s own work. In the process, I learned more about Mr. Douchecanoe than I ever really needed to know. Ms. Rife went easy on him.

Hi Eric Barry, thanks for stopping by!

“But it’s the midwest! My small trust fund should allow me to buy vast tracts of land!”

Seriously, where was he getting a four dollar Lagunitas in San Francisco? Nowhere, that’s where.

He’s from San Francisco, he’s moving to New York, and Chicago is somehow too expensive for him. Does this fool know how to count?

He was complaining that Chicago is expensive. He’s from San Francisco, for god’s sake. That alone made me realize how full of shit he is.

You know that scene from Broadcast News where they’re editing that report to the very last possible second? Holly Hunter is completely cool about it but Joan Cusack is hyperventilating and screaming “We’re never gonna make it!” Robert Mueller is Holly Hunter and I and a lot of other people are Joan Cusack.

“So we’re being asked to provide Constitutional protections for behavior, a choice in behavior as opposed to a primary characteristic.”

I think the BBC recently summed up Chancellor Drumph’s appeal and ultimate failure. He was able to identify the issues that so many Americans were struggling with and offered scapegoats that the white dissatisfied voters would buy.

I know I shouldnt respond to trolls, but I’m grey so WTF.

In a couple of years a lot of his voters will swear on a stack of bibles they never voted for him.

A little rough around the edges:

There’s a whole host of apologists in the greys with the “but nobody used anesthesia then” and “product of his time” and nope. Not today.

Your chosen quoted passage literally says “yes, black people were abused. But that’s no excuse for them not to go ahead and do it, because the end result justifies the means.”

Seriously. Forced sexual assault and mutilation, totally state-sanctioned because of the color of the women’s skin. I feel sick.

Oh god, just reading about the women being probed while all on fours and held down while being butchered without anesthesia made me clench my vaginal muscles and bite down on my lip to keep myself from crying out. Goddamn.

This is seriously just as damaging, if not more so, than blatant racism. At least with a full on racist you know how to approach the situation. With this kind of sentiment you create an alternate reality that your ego can live in, where tides have turned so much the incidental harm you feel now is worse than the harm…
