My Jesuit friends are all about helping the immigrants and refugees, and they were taking no. Shit. Today.

Are the Catholics? Like, are they really? I know my (former) church is full of NIMBY spouting conservatives who want to send the Brown People home because that’s what White Jesus would do. I’m only half exaggerating. But I don’t think the suburban Catholic churches would do shit. Maybe the inner-city churches will,…

As I was listening to NPR while stuck in traffic today, I thought of this quote from Fellowship: when did Saruman abandon reason for madness? Replace Saruman with GOP.

Just hide the immigrants and refugees in libraries, H&R Block and sexual harassment prevention classes. Trump will never find them there.

I see what he’s doing here. He’s mounting an effort to seriously restrict voting laws with something like federal ID, even though his many syncophants don’t have the ‘nads to publicly dispute him. This is very dangerous, not just delusional and borderline insane.

This is some petty shit and I am living for it.

Can Chris Brown read the joke.....

The comedian Brian Posehn used to have a bit about being bad at bigotry; e.g., whenever he saw a gay couple he’d yell “Go back to Mexico!” at them.

I recently heard his brother, Aniz, on a podcast relate that their mom asked to be removed from the family text group because Aziz is always trying out bits there. That cracked me right up. They’re a delightful family.

It was so great. I also loved the part where he talked about his parents. His mom and dad are the best part of his show

Brown’s offensive reference to the wrong ethnic origin goes nicely with Ansari’s joke about people telling him to “go back to...the country you’re from!”. His follow up is that the racists tend to not be geography buffs.

i minored in using people’s words against them.

Here’s the deal: either punching literal Nazis in the face is morally acceptable, or America has to stop jerking itself off over WWII.

I have been watching the various incarnations of the nazi punch pretty much non-stop for the past day or so and they still have yet to get old. Personal fave:

Massachusetts is also one of only two states where Clinton won every county.

I said it in another post, but the amount of folks who showed up in smaller cities is amazing, and I’m talking in blood red areas. Maybe, this is an actual awakening. Who knows?

So overrated. He’s like the Meryl Streep of coaching. If I had chosen to coach, of course I would win more. I’d win so much I’d get tired of winning. I would say to myself, “Please stop winning so much.” But I’m a winner—at everything—so I couldn’t do it. I’m only a loser at losing. No, wait—I’m a WINNER at…

I said this last time, I’ll say it again: I’m so happy he’s the new coach of Team USA. You couldn’t ask for a better ambassador

That is one of the best things about this. He is in Texas so it is like the inverse of Belichick. The people need the eschew their beliefs to support the team.
