If you’re a police officer, your first job is to protect the public. Your first job is not to keep yourself safe. If you want to keep yourself safe, get a desk job somewhere and don’t be a cop.

I will bet any amount of money that MAGA clones start dropping bowling balls on Japanese cars to prove that he was right. Literally, this will happen. Probably already has happened.

Why the fuck do they allow guys who do this shit to strike a plea deal? The evidence couldn’t be more clear.  

Re-read those text messages keeping in mind that she was a junior staffer who was in some respect dependent on him for her job. Hence she replies with the polite “you need to wear clothes, sir” to the shirtless pic instead of “that is really offensive, John. Please don’t do that anymore” because of the power…

“Officials left thinking Trump was on board with federal funding for the Gateway project,”

Seeing those two together was like

As long as I knew going in that the plane would land safely, then I’m taking the barf plane 100% of the time.

I hate Jerry as much as anyone else, but don’t get why he has to pay the costs the NFL incurred defending the Elliott decision. Isn’t the appeal process part of the CBA?

For many companies, the bad pr from a recording outweighs whatever satisfaction they could derive for prosecuting someone for recording.

Woah, I guess I never realized he was 43, coming as he does from the Steve Bannon category of healthy/virile conservative males.

Deeply wish that whatever demons were troubling this poor guy had been seen, identified, diagnosed, defeated. Maybe they were football, maybe they were just life. I’m sure we all knew people in college who wound up feeling hopeless for one reason or another, and I’m so sorry that Tyler’s hurdles seemed insurmountable.…

They do, but sometimes they can’t. How about teaching young men that only YES means yes?

Who could watch the episode where Michael and Jan throw the dinner party at her house, and call him a “loveable lug?” Or Scott’s Tots?

Well yeah, I mean the Libyan terrorists in Back to the Future, for example. Who are just like the terrorists in True Lies, right down to the fact that they are simultaneously scary (kill Doc Brown) and idiots (they accept a bomb case full of pinball parts instead of plutonium).

We do a “Christmas chain,” (could be any holiday, really) so on the last day of November, our kids make a paper chain of 24 links, and then inside each one we put some Christmas-related thing to do.
