I think the Qatari regime and FIFA are abhorrent. I think the sponsors who are agreeing to sponsor the event and Fox, which is televising the event, suck for that decision. And I think it sucks that players, who have a platform and plenty of leverage, backed down almost immediately when faced with any sort of…

I never said any action by anyone would bring down the regime, so I’m not sure what your point is there. I’m certainly not going to defend an argument I never made. Also, I don’t think “would bring down the regime” is the right criterion by which to be judging the actions here. I don’t think FIFA awarding the World…

Sometimes, you should ask the beneficiary if they want it before you do them the favor.

In this case the “employees” have quite a bit more leverage than that term would ordinarily imply!  You not being interested in blaming the players because you don’t understand how the “employer-employee” dynamic is quite a bit different in the arena of international soccer than it is in your workplace is fine, but…

What sports executives and the rest of the world *won’t* do.  They have agency the same as the players do.

I mean, the Qatari regime sucks, FIFA sucks, they are the primary villains in all of this, but it sucks that these teams caved at the slightest hint of pressure. Kinda shows how dedicated they were to the principle of LGBTQ+ rights in the first place, and reveals the original gesture to have been as hollow and…

Not only is it disgusting, but I think the midterms showed that there’s not really much political benefit to degrading trans people and others in the LGBTQ+ community. So it really is just pure shittiness with these folks (and shame on any ostensible liberal who continues with the “maybe we are moving too fast on…

Any person who could fairly be described as a villain here will end up walking away richer than they were before, which is a pretty apt description for capitalism.

One legal expert told The Wall Street Journal that the case would be difficult for the plaintiffs to win

What are you talking about? Talking actual policy with what people? I didn’t blame Democrats.

An overwhelming majority of Republicans voted against protecting interracial marriage.  The ads write themselves (I hope).

go fuck yourself loser

Will certainly be interesting to see who emerges as minority leader.  Trying to lead the caucus is a pretty thankless job, that will likely be as high as you go (so hope you don’t have any ambition to be anything beyond Speaker, maybe, if the caucus still likes you whenever Dems manage to win back the House), that…

You can absolutely sue people for advertising things that turn out to be crap, if they made a claim the thing was not crap.

Maybe powerful people shouldn’t shill for something everyone knew was a Ponzi scheme. I’d rather protect people from their own so-called stupidity, than protect powerful people from the consequences of accepting huge amounts of money to shill fraudulent products to their fans! Whose side are you on here?

Kim Kardashian, Elon Musk, Gwenyth Paltrow, Snoop Dogg, and Katy Perry

This is either a wildly incompetent lawyer, or a lawyer performing for a client he knows is already doomed.

He was being sarcastic about what?  

One of my favorite comedians of all time, but it’s too bad you’re such a close-minded bigot you can’t take even a little bit of criticism.  Run back off to your safe space where you get to lie with impunity, you oversensitive little weenie!

Who cares whether he said he agreed with Kanye or Kyrie?  He said more than just “Jewish people exist.”  That seems to be the root of your confusion.  You seem to think all he said was “Jewish people exist,” and that people are calling him anti-semitic over that.  But that’s not all he said.  If you want to argue that…
