Yeah she seems like a closet Republican, and that idiotic mask just seals the deal.

“I’m just not excited about these lifeboats...you’re going to have to convince me that drowning would be bad.”

Understood, but you don’t stand on the deck of the Titanic mulling over which route you’re going to take next time.

I would be really touched if someone gave me that, imperfections and all. I’m not crafty and to my eye it looks homemade but in a cute way. People are being mean. 

“I like cartoon characters that DON’T get their biscuits burned.”

Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying they were on your cognitive test?

Which is very him, because he’s just shown over and over to be incapable of actually understanding how to function within a normal, loving family. If he was able to go upstate and also behave himself, he could be having a bomb-ass summer with the two coolest people in the musical, but he doesn’t understand how to be…

I honestly wonder what can be done about neighboring states. I’m in Chicago and our mayor and governor have worked together to do a pretty good job at getting the trendline moving in the right direction. However, we’re close enough to Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, and even Kentucky where there seem to be a…

The only thing I’d suggest is that this line doesn’t strike me as correct: “Their first instinct was to react with fear...”.  I think rather, their first reaction was to act like they were in charge and that the person they were talking to was not their equal.

“I’m sorry...but”, “you people” and “get over it” are terms usually reserved for the biggest of asshats.

It is understandable that some people in one part of the world may not know what is offensive in other parts. The influencers that learned about the problem either took the post down, apologized or both. But some…

Ignorance doesn’t make you innocent. And you aren’t in charge of telling black people what to be offended by.

Is there a country where it’s considered a cool and respectful thing to do? 

No I haven’t I’ll give it a looksie 

There is a thread floating around Twitter, which I am not linking because the author doesn’t want to deal with national attention, that explains the Kente cloths were given to the Democrats during a trip to Ghana. The trip was taken right after 45’s “shithole country” remarks drew international attention, and were…

So Pelosi should have lectured the CBC on the ownership of black culture?

The optics of white people lecturing black people about racial sensitivity are pretty bad too, though.

The Congressional Black Caucus was apparently responsible for this decision, which was meant to memorialize Floyd, but the move still came across as something more suited to a Veep subplot than real life.

nothing in the bill calls for a reduction in police department budgets.

I’m not sure that violent crime is a good proxy here.

You can effectively vote out cops by voting for local politicians who appoint and remove those cops. Lack of engagement in elections (especially at the local level) has absolutely reinforced the situation much of America is in today. Also, deadlines to register to vote are fast approaching, and using this moment to…
