I’m not endorsing, defending, or even particularly familiar with Morrissey’s political beliefs or actions, and his best music is three to four decades behind him imho, but I’ll just ask anyway: do you really need to approve of an artist’s beliefs in order to enjoy his/her art? I mean to each his own, but if that were…

Every weekend, at least one shooting and we’re so used to this shit that the news now goes to commercial during immediate reporting. At least 19 dead from a right wing white supremacist terrorist and this government does nothing.

Last night, spokesperson for Justice Democrats Waleed Shahid responded on Twitter to Claire McCaskill, a former Senator who lost her race in the Midwest, who said that “free stuff from the government does not play well in the Midwest.”

But the folks who dodged the draft were right to do so.  Nothing bugs me more than treating military service like some sort of great calling as opposed to it being a shit job mostly done by people with no other options but to be cannon fodder for forever wars.  I wish Pete had read and absorbed more of his dad’s work,…

Yes, the democrats fully embraced neoliberalism (political libertarianism/social progressivism <contradict one another>) right after reagan, and left a gaping hole for demagogues like this to exploit.

keep laughing and keep pointing out the hypocrisy, but it won’t work.

Compassionate Conservatism:  We’ll Use Lube.

If the Democrats don’t fully move left and embrace the change President Bernie Sanders brings then eventually President Hawley, President Cotton, or President Don Jr. will destroy this nation as the Democratic Establishment sarcastically claps at Maureen Dowd’s house.  

I feel this points to the whole basketblogging-influenced phenomenon where you seemingly have to be a fan of the league to be taken seriously.

Here’s the difficulty I have. Yes, Trump is absolutely the worst in terms of his policies and lack of qualifications for the position. However, I think as a liberal, it is a betrayal to get into guilt by association, especially when it comes to personal judgments. Painting the world in black and white, good and bad,…

This point is 20 years old by now, but, boxing, horse-racing, and baseball have all held and lost the pinnacle of the American sports landscape. It can happen. Over a long enough timeframe, it will happen to football, even if it isn’t laid low by its immediate issues.

A totally cogent and measured answer...that I’m sure will be received well here.

You adorable child. Nobody is ever “innocent”. Stop watching so much TV. What, you think the one-armed man did it?

I think I have a decent grasp of history. Decent enough to know that generally speaking when free speech has been challenged, it isn’t rich, white males that are the targets. I know that the Espionage and Sedition Acts weren’t being wielded against Nazis, but leftists. Most attacks on free speech were attempts to…

Wonder how many history teachers they got.

The “if you don’t like Cam Newton, you’re racist” crap should have been our first indication that Trump was going to win. Somebody got a liiiiiiiiittle cocky in the culture wars there, and there would be consequences...

Why can’t all teens be bitter, emotionally crippled, Tom Waits-loving alcoholics like I was at 17?

Footage of this guy is the best ISIS recruiting video ever.

In actuality, there are problems in the black community that indisputably contribute to the problem. By ignoring those problems and mocking those who try to bring them to light, you become part of the problem.
