Something that doesn’t literally look like a clown wig.

Somehow I get the feeling that there are a lot fewer NHL players than NFL players who feel a personal connection to Black Lives Matter...

What about the “don’t be an asshole to others” code? That was the first rule broken here. I wouldn’t tow someone else’s car because I don’t like being sued or arrested, but I don’t have even a mote of sympathy for the guy driving the Vette.

But barring an emergency that involves imminent death, there’s never an excuse to park like that. If you’re such an asshole that it’s not enough to merely flaunt your wealth and you also feel the need to park lesser beings in, then you deserve whatever you get.

How NFL owners feel about all of this is unclear.

You’re glossing over the truly important question here.

I watched the preseason game between the Patriots and Panthers a couple of weeks ago, and got stuck with the Carolina feed. The whole affair opened with a minutes-long wet, sloppy Jerry Richardson blowjob where they mention that he’s the only man to be in both the North Carolina and South Carolina business and sports

Yeah, but anyone who associates the events of 150 years ago with the modern Republican party while ignoring all of the history in between is a complete idiot. There’s no shortage of those people, to be sure, but lowering everyone’s discourse to a level that they can understand seems like a loss for everyone.

Or maybe, faced with the prospect of having to explain on national television what he ostensibly taught Donald Trump about black people, he wisely decided it was time to cut the thread on that conversation.

For sure. But it’s a fairly trivial distinction in the grand scheme of things. Lincoln may not have been a raving abolitionist, but the “myth” represents the milieu pretty well: slavery was a major factor in the Civil War breaking out, and the war ended with the slaves freed by Lincoln’s decree. The myth strikes me as

There’s not an ounce of truth in anything Trump says, either. It’s politically and economically untenable to deport 11 million immigrants, and everyone knows it. Mexico is never going to pay for that fucking wall we’re never going to build, and everyone knows that too.

Nothing gets my blood up like it’s/its. Although “for all intensive purposes” is close.

It was a pragmatic decision by a politician who had previously made his views on slavery pretty clear. Your narrative is almost as tired and facile as the one it seeks to debunk.

Did you even read the post you just replied to?

So a comfortable salary, a pension and very wide leeway with breaking the laws they’re supposed to be enforcing aren’t enough? Now they also demand everyone’s gratitude? Nobody in the world gets that.

What the hell? This sounds like the moral of some children’s story about Santa Claus.

That opinion offends me. Because it’s really, really dumb. Does my opinion of your opinion offend you?

Stupid opinions are offensive.

Yes, a woman with dyed blond hair is indeed a blonde. The ‘e’ on the end is from the French feminine form, so it’s debatable whether a man with dyed blond hair is a blonde.
