Seconded. I was a long-time long-distance cyclist, and it simply became safer, easier, and more consistent for me to switch to a stationary bike. I bought my own so I’m not waiting at the gym, I’ve got my own TV/DVD setup, and it lets me multitask by reading or watching programs while I pedal.

you can see why they figured nothing would happen. previous events like this just bought the companies in question a second or two of publicity. Captain Marvel didn’t see a blip from the people screaming about how it was anti-men, Chik-Fil-A saw nothing meaningful from the backlash to their anti-gay shit, and the…

he has a concern for “creating jobs”

Nobody tells a person of color to go back where they came from because they are interested in taking the boot off their own neck. No, that’s what you say when your fondest hope is to wear the boot yourself.

I was thinking many of them are people who spent their early years following the Grateful Dead. Seems like the hippies of old are the fascist of today.

I think you may have missed the point.

So we’ve finally found a touring crowd worse than Phish Heads and Parrotheads?

I mean, she’s telling us she’s so smart and empowered now that she chooses to go without health insurance, which, huh.

The Guardian had an in-depth look at the redemption possibilities of these people, and it was determined that they will absolutely have to be approached individually and treated as cult members. Think about that.

“said Saundra Kiczenski, a 40-year-old Walmart worker from Michigan who has been to 29 rallies.”

Hmm...how does someone enjoying the best economy ever have the time/resources to do that?  Interesting. 

“I don’t have health insurance” is not the flex you think it is, lady. 

The WalMart employee was almost certainly exempt from paying the ACA fine anyway, unless she was full-benefits management that chose not to cover herself (then she would just be dumb). Plus, the IRS has said they won’t enforce the penalty anymore.

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…
