It was always mean-spirited, hateful tribalistic othering. That's exactly why Trump beat the other GOP dildos in the primaries: He was the most hateful and authoritarian, and that's what Republicans want.

I was thinking exactly the same thing while I watched The Handmaid's Tale last night. It really is possible that an armed conflict might be necessary to protect the USA from traitors. I don't think it's likely, but at this point it can't be ruled out.

Wow, you're just gonna keep digging, aren't you?

OK, I apologize for assuming too much about you. You didn't deserve most of the shade I threw on you.

Thanks. I had a nagging feeling The Outsiders was wrong, so I looked it up. I was thinking of the right film but couldn't come up with the name.

This was known even before the election. But it was better TV to talk about blue-collar "economic anxiety" than to admit that most people who support Trump are just assholes.

Christ gave a lot of solid advice that "Christians" refuse to follow.

Thanks for that meltdown. It was hilarious! I can't stop smiling.

I was rude to you because you're being rude in this discussion. I'm not saying you intend to give offense, but you're being arrogant, patronizing, and officious. I'll dial it down for this reply so you'll be more likely to consider what I say.

:D

You implied that because he's done it before, it should be no big deal now. If anything, that makes it worse, because his pattern of pointless offensive speech continues unabated. This isn't one fuck-up. It's just the latest in a long line.

Yeah, it was intended to be a little hostile. You're acting really entitled, like it's everyone else's job to listen to your uninformed opinions, answer your questions, look up supporting statistics (!!), and explain common occurrences you didn't bother to notice. You have Google and you can get a library card for…

Given that this is a matter of social norms, for which no official facts and figures are compiled, you're going to have to make up your mind without them. Perhaps there's a survey that asks women about their experiences; You're welcome to Google it.

So because he got away with similar things before, he should be allowed to get away with this? That doesn't make any sense. That's like someone standing trial for armed robbery whose defense is, "I did this six times before and got away, so you must acquit me."

Are you trying to win this debate by attrition? It's hilarious that you started with, "reading relevant statutes and caselaw makes it pretty simple to dispense with most of your arguments," and then wrote about 4000 words of verbiage, most of which has no bearing whatever on the debate.

All right, Brandon, I'll indulge you again.

It was so great to see them snap a six-game losing streak by winning three in a row against the Cardinals.

"Controversial," huh? You're whitewashing his offense (pun intended).

Maher has already squandered the benefit of the doubt.
