A lot of those “independent new sources” tend to:

Not to mention the fact that they probably provide net revenue support to the more important national news and investigative journalism.

Honestly it’s just ... sigh. I mean, I’m a Lions fan, but I’m definitely of the variety that’s been so beaten down that I just can’t even be bothered to tune in anymore.

I mean, I hate Rodgers too (Lions fan) but even I can acknowledge the dude’s always been the most thoughtful of all the NFL’s veteran “elite” quarterbacks.

In addition to it being a terrible thing to say, it’s also a remarkably dumb thing to say in public at all, let alone within range of a microphone that he could clearly see. Dude’s less liberal in every measurable way than Joe Crowley was in a similarly situated D+30 district and he’s facing a meaningful primary…

There’s a lot of noise about “terrorist groups” in America out there, but the fact is there is a reason that ... pretty much every single terrorist attack of every sort of ideological proclivity perpetrated since 9/11 has been one person, planning alone, maybe with a spouse or something like that who’s aiding them…

Nah. “All Lives Matter” doesn’t convey the point. As for “white privilege” sure, people don’t respond well to that, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an adequate statement.

It would have been far better if Trudeau had said what he was actually thinking: That Trump’s behavior is deranged, deadly and despotic.

Why? Because you say so?

Look, I get it, everyone wants their chance to hop on their soapbox, but this isn’t one of those sport.  

As a rule, yeah, the President should just let the mayors and states handle this.

What part of disingenuous and unwanted was unclear Mango? 

I dunno, some people are weird and get really hung up on getting immersed in the show and not wanting to have the flow of that interrupted.  I’m not, I watch stuff pretty scattershot throughout the day, but some people seem to be.  

Maybe.

Sure it can happen. You just don’t want to acknowledge it because then you might have to concede that burning down the existing model may not be the best thing on balance for every American.

Well sure, but to the extent we say “slogans matter!” because we think they help movements coalesce around a concept and provide a tight phrase to use, those slogans are always going to become focal points in debates, discussions, polemics and critiques, especially if the simple text of the slogan leaves itself…

There is nothing in the statement “Black lives matter” that carries the implication that they should take priority over the lives of any other group.

You know “tax deductible” doesn’t mean, like a dollar for dollar credit against income taxes owed, right?

In a vacuum, all of those considerations might matter. But this isn’t a vacuum, and I doubt that it’s even possible they will not find a jury pool that is going to evaluate this on the strict basis of the presented facts weighed against the charges with much in the way of parsing going on as it relates to the…

The problem at this point is that even if there would have been a better way to say it the label’s already been formed in the mind of society and it’s just not going to change.
