Cause is not effect

Look, I’m as mad/scared/upset/irate/confused/disappointed/whatever about Trump being elected as anyone else, but I don’t see the story here. Empty platitudes between two politicians in a poorly edited/translated/reedited summary of an informal conversation doesn’t even make the top 1000 or so things we have to be…

The $15 minimum wage idea is nice-sounding, but fraught with peril. It will escalate the drive for large corporations to automate and eliminate labor. Smaller businesses will go away in large numbers, and what will be unseen is the number of small businesses that will never open going forward.

I like how rural white that want manufacturing jobs to return are delusional, but people who want $15 an hour for unskilled labor are righteous.

Yeah. Forced apologies aren’t sincere nor do they actually matter.

I’d say the reaction to a joke that was kinda clever, kinda meh, very harmless is perhaps a reason why Democrats lost the election.

it was a good joke

Hamilton

No one hates the Cubs more than I do, but christ, just let them have their fun for another day before going on seemingly pointless rants about how they may or may not end up like Boston fans. As Barry said, they get until their parade and then they can go fuck themselves (paraphrasing).

He doesn’t have a clue, but he’s obviously biased toward the Gators.

Joy is such a disgusting emotion

I hear stuff like this and I wonder: really? Has he really “reignited” or advanced the discussion? Is there quantifiable proof? The advancement I’m seeing here is the race to see who can have the most original or creative National Anthem “protest.”

This is the least bad “bad opinion” I’ve heard on this.

I fear that even we liberals are missing an important point here.

Your response to him is absolutely disgusting. Keep spitting in the faces of the people who died for this country you piece of shit.

100,000 of thousands have died for the stars and stripes, 301 of my buddies, 217 from my unit in vietnam. My namesake, uncle howard was killed on 02-02-45 in france. I can not believe all these men have died so these disrespectful people can spit on their freedoms. The national anthem was written during a life and…

you guys run more kneeling during the anthem stories than gawker ran trump stories.

It’s because conservative americans can’t spend a single day without jerking off to their military. Any attempt to question what the country does as a nation is met with reactionary jingoism.
It’s basically a cult, at this point. A mindless moronic cult.

Non-American here, not really getting all this noise, I was under the impression that the purpose of your military was to protect the interests of the country abroad and (when required) defend the country and constitution from attack. If that is accurate, then does the military not EXIST to protect the right to free…

I would take it back to 1968. Wear black everything every player every game, like they did in Mexico City. Socks, arm bands, shoulder pads, cleats. Tommie Smith and John Carlos got evicerated for the national anthem but when every black dude for the next year shows up with a jersey and black everything else I think…
