Equating first responders and cops is such bullshit. Almost no one out there is hating on EMT’s or firefighters. They are pissed at cops because cops frequently abuse their power, to the point of killing people, in addition to all the lower-level graft like stealing money from civil forfeitures and reporting a lower…

“These guys are going to work like we do every day and all they want to feel respect and appreciation, and when you go to work and you don’t feel either one of those, you get depressed...” Gerard said about the NYPD.

I mean, and let me start by saying I’m liberal as hell and think you should at least go through as many hoops to own a gun as a car, there are plenty of responsible gun owners, like myself, who unless they are going to and from a range and/or are cleaning them keep them locked in a safe. The stigma should be against…

I mean, yeah. Jack Ryan is the American ideal in one tightly knit package: he knows everything, is physically at the peak, is a rugged individual who is always against impossible odds, who can look experts in the eye and say ‘I know better than you’, and ultimately discards all negotiation in favor of brusque violence.

I’m on the same wavelength as David today apparently. “Land Cruiser” was my first thought. Nothing says conservatively managed wealth like a land cruiser.

“All of this would go away if he announced he wasn’t running for president in 2024,” the former adviser said.

Nah, it’s Neutral Evil. The Republicans only care about laws when they can use them to oppress the lawful. They’re as corrupt as the day is long... at the North Pole in June.

I’ve been saying for about a year now that Trump will probably dump Pence...sorry Pence will step down to “spend more time with his family”...and announce that his 2020 running mate will be Marsha Blackburn. She’s a Trump accolyte and apologist, a NRA shill, Evangelical Bible re-interpreter, anti-immigrant and, most…

Add this to the list. 

The only reason it’s not popular to say that objectively evil entities like Shell and Exxon are destroying humanity’s ability to survive is that there wealth and power have been allowed to buy public discourse. Corporate media, like CNN, make their dirty living off of this. The truth about these criminals should…

John Oliver had a really wonderful segment on his shambling, unkempt persona. Apparently it’s camouflage for his relentless self-aggrandizement and passionate and singular devotion to burning everything down. Scary stuff, and utterly predictive, given his activities over the last 10 days.

He does - from what I understand, it’s an absolutely deliberate attempt to make himself look somewhat unkempt in order to project the sort of “everyman” appearance he wants to present.

These powerful men who have all the resources in the world to look clean and kempt and sharp are so trapped in their own narcissism they can’t even begin to see themselves through outside eyes. Like, wtf did Stephen Miller think spray painting his head was going to turn out like? 

It’s deliberate.

Funny how, after decades of violence towards black people in SAf, white Sef Effrikkns are all anti violence now that shit has changed a bit. But, not surprising.

Not all conservatives are racist, but all hardcore racists are conservative/libertarian. 

It’s a good career move for him. “Liberal” Hollywood has already banned him, so he can run the conservative grift for a few years. He gets to go on Fox News and be in Christian films given his known contempt for gays. He seems like a hateful, intolerant person so he is honestly where he belongs.

He’s like a (possibly) British, happy Ron Swanson.

I’m can’t wait to see all the rednecks who will scream “I’m never spending any of my money at Wal-Mart again! MAGA”only to have to reverse course less than 24 hours later when they realize they buy all of their daily necessities there and they will starve to death if they boycott it.
