Did they face any consequences? In my kids’ school there is zero tolerance for hate speech/actions. These kids need to be taught about exactly why a Nazi salute is repugnant and made to formally apologize to the rest of the school. And if they (or their parents) refuse, they should look for another school.*

I completely understand the urge to go Malcolm X versus MLK. Being a silent bystander is definitely not the answer. Unfortunately, in the majority of schools the bully would become the ‘victim’ and the person who threw the punch would be facing major consequences, and perhaps assault charges. I would still take my…

The idea of Hispanic kids (or any minority) supporting Trump boggles my mind. How do account for it with the kids you see?

Same. I’m not a teacher but a parent of a twelve and fourteen year old whose entire school population—kindergarten through eighth grade—openly loathe Trump. And most adolescents I’ve encountered can explain quite passionately and eloquently why they despise him. The day after the election several high school…

I’m really enjoying the mental image of his future cocktail party guests suddenly being seized with debilitating fear, dropping to their knees, and literally crawling their way toward safer ground. Your explanation of the dynamics was much more eloquent, of course, and spot on. Most people can’t even stand on the…

Ah, thanks. No wonder he can’t sing even a few lines of it in Spanish.

That’s actually a really nuanced way to think about his relationship with his fans. He was born, or made, into this narcissistic pop star who is both incredibly thin skinned and vulnerable to criticism, and yet extremely self-absorbed and entitled. Much like our current Dear Leader (ugh, assuming you’re from the…

Your comment intrigues me but I am an old and also battling a migraine so please indulge me. . . what is a ‘smash and grab’? What oddness do you think is afoot? I loathe his music and his constant whiny smugness but I’m also fascinated by what it must be like to have an ego so constantly stroked as a prepubescent kid…

Oh, yes, I get the dehumanization that goes on in order to justify such actions. What’s especially scary to me is the propaganda that Trump and the alt-right are constantly promoting that feeds the notion that refugees are any different then you and me. It’s only a matter of geography and circumstance that they find…

And Jared let her be put ‘through the wringer’, which makes him (ironically) complicit with his father’s demands.

What the actual fuck. . . the idea of purposefully bombing a refugee camp makes me literally nauseous. And depressed. And livid.

And their hours are “11-ish to 9-ish”. Oh boy. That means maybe open by noon if we’re hung over while reserving the right to close at seven for no discernible reason.

That’s what toddlers do (if allowed, and sometimes when they go rogue)! They’re too young to be embarrassed and haven’t mastered impulse control. A butthole might as well be a bellybutton.

I bet she called over to them, “amigos? Poop-o on floor-o! Grass-e-ass!”. . .

So gross. And almost as gross is Karen Long saying “the two Mexicans”. Maybe the two waitstaff? Waiters? Employees?Right about now the owners and the patrons of this establishment seem about the same level of hot mess.

I don’t understand your point—piss and shit do not come out of a breastfeeding woman’s nipples. Literally never. Breastfeeding is also not a health code violation. I’ve never heard anyone equate the two.

So glad you took the time to post this and glad I took the time to watch it. Anyone who would say Oswalt isnt 1,000% cognizant of the process of grieving—how each day seems an eternity, how there is only “the flavor of happiness” for such a long time—is being super small and judgmental. Grief is so individual and…

Those are two huge “if”s, unfortunately.

I hope you never have actual children.

Lol, less so than in some other countries, but in San Francisco, yes. It’s a big problem in and near Chinatown, particularly with elderly Chinese who basically rarely (and sometimes never) leave the neighborhood. Spitting/hawking phlegm is accepted, or at least unremarkable, in China, especially in rural parts, so…
