During the W years, I had a girlfriend who was one of those “If he wins, I’m moving to Canada” types. What changed her mind was when I said “I’m not leaving. This is my country too, and I want it to be better. So it’s my responsibility as a citizen to stay, fight, and stop those people who stand in the way of progress.…

And holding the remote: Antifa!

The analogy I always use with these “America, love it or leave it” dum-dums is parenting a misbehaving child. If my kid does something wrong and I scold him or punish him for it, does that mean I don’t love him? Or, does it mean that correcting his bad behavior is my way of helping him to be a better person? I can…

He reminds me of the doctor in Cannonball Run.

Somebody needs to make a show called “Internet Detectives,” featuring a pair of paranoid white idiots who ignore the evidence and obvious answer for every crime in favor of the most outlandish and elaborate explanation that can only be arrived at after total immersion in the bowels of online hate culture. It would be…

Ugh, the police discount. My parents owned a sandwich shop/convenience store growing up, and I worked there as a clerk. I have very clear memories of my dad giving me the nod not to charge any cops that came in. Just let them take what they want. The idea being that it will make them more helpful if we ever need to…

All it will take is a splashy tribute concert celebrating black lives for white people to be like “We did it!” and go back to ignoring another important issue. Because every white person knows that once you have a concert, the problem is solved.

Show me one old person capable of working that kind of technology. Most of them can’t even send a text message, let alone trigger a squib.

I grew up in a very boring, very safe Massachusetts town. The one thing every teenager in the region knew about our cops was that they were terrible because they were bored (the height of excitement was someone caught shoplifting at the mall). If you were 16-17 behind the wheel of a car, you were getting pulled over…

Yeah, those 8 things struck me as not much more than asking the cops to behave better. You’re not going to get much result out of a list like that if you still let them dress up in full combat gear and play soldier in our streets. It’s like, you can put up a sign in the gym telling people to wipe down the equipment…

Most elected positions on the local level don’t pay a good full-time salary. Far from it. People who serve on school boards aren’t relying on the pay as their primary income. They seek office to serve their community, to forward their own agenda, and/or as a stepping stone to higher office. There is no perfect…

The mayor and a police union rep should be on the board, but they should be offset by representatives from the community who are focused solely on the issue of police oversight and accountability. It’s too important to be part of someone’s multitasking.

Exactly. Stop expecting him to change. He’s not going to. It’s like the Rock’s “powerful message” from the other day where kept asking “Where are you?” to an unspoken president. Misplaced effort. There is nothing that will ever be said to Trump that will make him a better person. He’s rotten. The only hope is to vote…

1. Better cops - Improved screening for mental health and behavioral issues, review of past affiliations (white supremacist groups, for example), and an end to favoritism given to ex-military that automatically moves them to the top of the list.

Would you really want his mouth anywhere near your dick? Double wrap, my friend. Double wrap.

Go back and read what I wrote. I specifically said “many white people.”

I say leave the Confederacy homeless. And treat it as well as we treat any other homeless in this country.

You’d think a company that owns the global beer market could scrape together more than the equivalent of $40k a year for what is essentially a 24-hour/7-days a week job. Works out to be ~$4.63 an hour. I mean, how much free beer are we talking? And can I resell any of it?

Step 5 is so important. The biggest mistake lefties (like me) always make is thinking one election solves the problems for all time. We elected Obama, declared a “post-racial America,” and went back to our disconnected lives. We put more effort into researching craft cocktails than in who’s running for local office. I…
