The network standards and practices went overboard in trying to assure the public that Fonzie was not a hoodlum. for a long time he was only allowed to wear his leather jacket if he was on his motorcycle because then it could be justified as safety equipment, which led to one ridiculous scene where he rode his bike…

Yes, you racist fuck, I stand by it because you refuse to actually read and comprehend the comments that followed, instead preferring to stick with your utterly disingenuous take on the situation. That’s what racists fucks do.

That is absolutely racist because Trump opened his fat fucking mouth and hurled insults without any basis in fact. If he had evidence that the judge in question had in fact made previous rulings that were not warranted by the evidence in the cases but were instead motivated by his race or nationality, then no, it…

OK, I’ll give you that, because I wasn’t going back further beyond WWII. I think one big difference though, is that pre-WWII there were few people telling the government it was wrong to treat the indigenous people as they did and still not many during the Japanese-American internment during WWII. Today, the majority…

Nah, I think it’s lower. As Takei mentioned, at least his family was kept together. The MAGAts don’t have enough empathy to even do that much.

The line is in the neighborhood of the difference between insulting one person directly based on his/her actual observable and documented actions (not racism) vs. maligning a group of people with nothing in common except skin color (absolute racism).

I should have elaborated better. I agree with you about blackface where the intent is to denigrate the entire race. But looking at Jimmy there you can see that care has gone into making it a faithful costume of a particular man who happens to be black. I can’t say I saw every time he did that bit, but I don’t recall…

I hate that the title of the video appears as “Jimmy Kimmel in blackface mocking black people...” when he’s clearly mocking just one person who happens to be black. Would Jimmy have enjoyed mocking Malone so much if Malone wasn’t black though?

I give Silverman credit for at least trying to address it in the first place instead of ignoring it like most of the comedy of the era.

Would Heather Locklear be able to participate given the likelihood of her being some permutation of in jail, in rehab, under house arrest, incapacitated and/or incoherent?

Nah, I indicated that the joke part of my post was over when I said “Seriously, though.” Sorry if that wasn’t clear enough.

Then you’re lucky not to have seen Trump’s speech.

I read elsewhere that no, this will not include any ESPN product beyond what’s currently available on ESPN+, so no Sports Center, etc.

The party is going to do no such thing, at least not without serious backlash. AOC is not thrown off her game at all. If anything, she’s getting better and better at it. She and her squad, or whatever you want to call the new wave of young Democratic politicians, are the future of the party and leadership already…

“Murry Chang” is clearly Brett Kavanaugh’s screen name.

All this stemmed from a gun nut who is too stupid to consider the idea of a fence or wall, or perhaps even moving to somewhere with fewer or no feral hogs, despite having likely chanted “Build that wall!” at some politician’s rally...

I’ve only seen the rookie a few times and wasn’t familiar with Williamson’s career, so I highlighted her name and right-clicked on it to do a google search. The first thing that came up under her Wikipedia section was that she’s 34 and was born in Toledo. So as if it’s not bad enough that she has to deal with all of…

Put the little child-safety covers on all of the outlets. If a customer removes them you can tell them that outlets are not for customers and that they’ll need to unplug immediately. Tell them that the electricity bills have been very high and you can’t provide free electricity for customers.

In 1999, my son was born and my daughter was two. I don’t remember a damned thing.

I thought it was while helping rescue efforts on 9/11.
