I honestly did not see that coming. I figured they would do the usual and let it blow over. After all, Trump will say some shit worse in about eight or nine minutes. Good on ABC, I guess. I mean, it’s not they didn’t know she was a shitty person.

That is a lot of goodwill built up for something 30+ years ago.

I remain baffled how a very rich white woman with a long career in Hollywood can be mistaken for the voice of working class. Seems to me she is exactly the rich, elitist, hyper-privileged white woman she is.

I figure college football is gone in 10 years, or least largely done some of the big schools will hold on longer...but someday soon a lawsuit is gonna happen where it proves someone was negligent in profiting off young men hitting their heads on each other a few hundred times a year. Once the talent pool dries up, NFL…

Were I to be honored with cookout invite, could I bring my usual bottle of Jameson and share? Or, is this extremely white of me?

First, you gotta assume that Matthew READS much of anything, much less a paper.

Yes, but...does the Official Woke Card Trump the Duece of Spades?

Send lawyers guns and money
Dad, get me out of this.

Didn’t say I wasn’t.

Well, they can jolly well go fuck themselves. I toed the line in ‘16, carried water for the party but I live in a solid Blue state and I am gonna cast a fuck you vote in the Primary and hope. If King Shit wins, well I will hold my nose and vote for him, but I will be damned if I am gonna do as I am told like before.

It’s like they never even read their little holy book. I am POSITIVE there is something in there about how to treat others, even strangers.

I definitely covered for the misdeeds of other cops. None were on the level of unlawful force, or planting evidence, but I lied for other cops and backed their stories when I knew they weren’t true. Even under oath in court. Everyone did it.

Shoot a white Australian woman.

When I was a kid, I was a big kid but not athletic. Somewhere around my Freshman year, my gym teacher told me he could “make me a man” if I tried out for football. (I assume he meant in the traditional sports way, not the Sandusky Locker Room way) I declined for many reasons, but mostly because football looked like a…

Yeah, but his banal non-apology apology will sound AMAZING!

15 years as a cop. It took me 15 years to figure out what Michael says is true. You cannot be a good and honest person and still be a cop because you will be hounded out of the job. You will be left without back up because you cannot be “trusted”. You will be branded a “rat” for trying to do the right thing. I left…

I was an AF cop back in the last days of the Cold War. Nuke duty was the absolute WORST, and the bases were universally in the most boring places in America. (Oddly, people don’t want nukes in their backyard.) We drank like fish, beat the crap out of each other, destroyed property and generally acted like idiots…

Shouldn’t you be down the grays where you can’t embarrass yourself?

What is even MORE ridiculous is these young white folks roll into DC, live there for a few years and then leave when the administration changes, or more likely they graduate from college. They are no more FROM DC than I am FROM Harlem, we live there but we aren’t from there.

I love how for a subset of my fellow Marshmallow Americans this word has such magic power. It’s like their Patronus is Klansgoblin and this is how the summon him. How are they supposed to protect themselves from being oppressed if they can say the word?
