I find both your take and the take of the author of this piece to be valid.

I think the point is that we’re all an asshole to someone. None of us are perfect. There’s just something about all of us. 

I find your take on the Colin Quinn comeback to be quite different from my own. “I was not conditioned in a family of abuse to accept that abuse” is the message I take, and the ‘child of alcoholics’ line both makes it specific (therefore funny) and stingingly personal, since Quinn gives off a ‘Family of Boozers’ vibe.…

In food at least, a lot of business owners feel like everyone owes them cheap labor because the business was “their dream”. I had someone offer me $14/hr for an exec chef position, to which I replied “Lol, no.” and informed her that anyone actually qualified wouldn’t work for that rate. She cried that opening the…

“Also funny to see all the people who supposedly adore the free market forget how free market economics actually works!”

Unemployment typically does not cover 100% of your lost wages. Even with the $300 supplement, the Chamber of Commerce’s own analysis shows that 75% of people collecting unemployment are getting less than they got from working. It’s highly unlikely that there are a significant number of people turning down jobs because…

It’s the $10 leather couch bullshit.

Yeah, the fact that said he “didn’t think it would be this ridiculous” would be hilarious if it wasn’t so twisted and sad. When you admit out loud that ridiculousness is OK - but only up to a point! I have standards, you know! - you need to take a long look in the mirror.

This is a very telling remark. He and every other GOPer knew this was ridiculous from the start, but just like with Dump, they thought it would be useful, controllable idiocy that they could steer to the voting booth. When the absolutely 100% predictable result of rabbit holing and lunacy appeared, destroying the last…

It took this long for him to even be embarrassed?

Keep in mind, this embarrassing, horrible, violent outcome is exactly what Cyber Ninjas and their ilk want to happen.

“It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”

“Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”

If you’re looking for more information beyond the many links Esther provided, The Atlantic has a pretty good take on just how stupid this all is.

Back last year? A hundred years ago? Hard to remember now. But the claim was Wayfair was trafficking kids under the guise of advertising very expensive furniture pieces. People with functioning brains...am I recalling this correctly?

The armoires bit is new to me. I’d pack ‘em in beanbag chairs myself, since they could damage the inside of an expensive armoire (/s, I don’t even own a bean bag chair, BOB), but where did the armoire part come from?

If they weren’t all BLM Antifa commie anarchists using late-term abortions as casual birth control trying to discredit the greatest president of the greatest nation, well...would this be happening to them right now? Serves‘em right for sex trafficking children packed into expensive armoires shipped out of pizza parlor…

Because we’ve got to think this way. 99.9% of us think that way.”

Actual attitude aside, his “slide through the crack” analogy is disturbing all on its on. Then the “chink in the armor and trust” line makes him sound like a predator waiting to pounce.
