Thank you, very cogent. I figured it was more than likely Repub.’s just manipulating the way information is parsed for their fanbase as usual.

Thank you, I thought that comment was some of my best work in a while, and so personal of course.

You’re exactly right, majority of the time it was to call K-9 units in. I wasn’t aware of the time limit aspect, thanks.

I thought this whole routine was a bit of a reach (not that I disagree), then that last line and I chortled. Thanks.

Align, be chained to the wheel of pain, or die, yes.

You know, I was hesitant at first to fully embrace seemingly hyberbolic phrases like “existing while black”, but every day it seems these assclowns give evidence of this reality. The arrogance and lack of empathy from not only the cops involved but their “blue lives matter” supporters is disgusting. For many people in…

Can anyone point me to legit information that supports or refutes the claim about “...denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans...” claim? It smells like BS to me.

Of course, you have to take into account the stridency of anti-union activities in these areas as well. The reason these corp.’s moved to the deep South in the first place was a lack of organized labor, and once they were there they did everything they could, short of Pinkertons to quash them.

I’m going to reply to myself because for some reason Kinja won’t let me edit my post. I left out the only time it is appropriate to use the word objective: when you’re using it in the sense of the creative endeavor’s plan or goals as a work of art, different definitions. Otherwise word junkie’s pet peeve of the day.…

I’m way late to this but the article popped up in the header today so... Maybe it’s because I grew up consuming and loving so much British comedy that I love those type of irredeemable characters as well but Americans ARE constantly needing to “empathize” or “identify” with characters to enjoy them. It always strikes…

I don’t know why I’m bothering with this but the story popped up in the header so... The word objective seems to be misunderstood by most of the population (even the WRITER of the this article), and is thrown around as a value judgement (which goes against the very definition of the word) about creative endeavors…

Yeah, you’re right. It’s why I put ethics in marks. But isn’t it ethical to pay bills for services rendered?

Probably. I’m only tree after all.

I’m blue collar myself, so’s my family for generations but we’re from the midwest and pro-union, and have voted accordingly for generations. I should have clarified, I was speaking about blue collar workers who vote Republican, against their own interests. There are as many “dipshits” in the blue collar world as any…

It’s starting to seem more and more irresponsible to keep popping out young’uns, handing them a steaming pile of shit for dinner, then just walking out saying “bon appetit”.

Trumps losing lawyers and having trouble finding new ones, lawyers. What does it say when the least principled profession in the world has trouble with your “ethics”? Ha ha.

When corporate interests don’t benefit, and bottom line becomes the only line those interests care about, while politicians on the right continue to lie about labor reality and convince blue collar dipshits to vote for them anyway, and all of those entities are certain they’re as right as a born again Christian,…

So true. Cue middle class America shrinking and shrinking, while Walmart wages stagnate, goods and services get more expensive, and union busting continues, while blue collar idiots in anti-union areas continue to believe right wing rhetoric and vote against their own interests. This life feels more and more like an…

As a (regrettably non-famous) Chris myself, I find this article offensive. You didn’t interview Chris’s and without actual Chris representation, you’re just Chrisplaining. Jezebel you should be ashamed.

I’m always flabbergasted that the right is able to convince blue collar workers to vote against their interests in such damaging ways, it’s like Nazis convincing Jews to give them a good yelp review. Insanity.
