So lunatic conspiracy theorist vs Sam Harris bro who never got past the “what if reality isn’t real” level of drug thinking. I vote giant meteor.

Thank you very much for blessing this post with a Rage video.

It’s sometimes important to stop and remind ourselves that, as much as the institutional Democratic Party is still haunted by the ghost of Walter Mondale and the drubbing they took in the ‘84 election, we have dragged the party a long way in the right direction over the last 20 years.

If they really want to twist Republicans’ nipples, they should propose the creation of a sovereign wealth fund alongside of the newly reinvigorated estate tax.

Yeah, I was gonna say. I don’t like to play equivalencies, but American imperialism is just as vile (and objectively more harmful) as the alt right, never mind that the alt right of course very much supports that kind of violence.

Please stop saying “PKs.” They are called penalties. Fans in every other country on earth call them penalties. Loudmouth USMNT shills on terrible US broadcasts call them PKs.
