Party politics change periodically. Lincoln was a Republican but there have been several redefining events since the Civil War. TODAY’S Republican party is nearly the opposite of Lincoln’s Republican party.

“And if gut feelings weren’t a thing, renegade cops that played by their own rules in the 1980's would have had a 0% conviction rate.”

You CANNOT be for real, dude. This is Just.Too.STUPID. Just go. No one has any responsibility to teach you how to read or, more importantly, how to understand.

omfg I don’t know how you put up with comments from people with less than a 6th grade level of reading comprehension. I am amused and chagrined at the same time ...

This is a very true statement. A huge percentage of our population just doesn’t vote. Some of that is by the design of the people in charge. Some of that is by design of the people in charge of education and the deliberate exclusion of civics courses that explain to people what their rights and duties are in our free…

Uhh, YOU don’t have access to that but yes, the standards for meeting a FISA claim are traditionally very high. Just because something is secret doesn’t mean it’s bs.

Oh wait. The answer is racism, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s racism. God dammit.

Real question (that no one has an answer to): when something horrifically stupid like this happens, why don’t the people in charge simply say, ‘that’s terrible, we had no idea, this stupid racist has been fired and everyone else has been put on fucking notice that this stupid shit will get you fired’?

I’d respect that…

Well, the ‘barren years’ are when he went off to do theatre, where he was successful. But it was the 80s with no internet, so it wasn’t exactly streaming into your face all day.

I am now going to be HEARTBROKEN if that is not true!!!!

I’ve been a Steelers fan for over 40 years and I wanted JuJu Smith-Schuster ejected from the game for the hit but ESPECIALLY for the taunting. And if the refs weren’t going to toss him, Tomlin should have.

Taunting is never cool, but taunting a guy you just injured? Before you even know how serious it is? No way, no…

No. There was NOT a bunch of evidence excluded from the documentary. In fact, there were interviews with jurors after the series who said that there were a few details of the trial here and there that were left out but they were minor and the part of the documentary that dealt directly with the trial was very…

But, if the whole police dept was scouring the streets for HER, then who was doing all of the shooting, beating and robbing?

Oooooo, that’s EvilGenius level comeuppance! Not to be the appropriating white guy but I’m going to seriously consider, uhh, well, appropriating that idea if I run across anyone in blackface.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. NC bathroom laws that would say Caitlyn Jenner would still have to use the Men’s room, so I actually saw this as supportive.

It’s not Philly alone, it’s also Pittsburgh. And although I think ultimately the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton) went to Trump it was damn close.

I mean, if you’re in Tioga county or Dauphin county or Erie or something, yeah, it can be hard to see the virtues ..... :D

Ok, I LOVE that gif! It captures my exact feeling at almost EVERYTHING involving other people!!

But I’m not copying it because then I’d just be another white dude co-opting something from a black man.

Instead of copying it to use all over the internet, I’m just going to silently nod in appreciation and let my heart be…

OMG, how glorious would it be if tens of thousands of people ordered pacifiers and sent them to the White House?

Yeah, I get that. And I’m not naive enough to think that racism here in the northeast is really and different than all of the racism in the ol’ confederacy.
But I still reserve the right to dislike them a whole lot. :)

I’m a NorthEastern white guy. I’ve always disliked “the south” but I’ve always put a little asterisk next to it in my mind to remind myself that I’m sure there are plenty of good, nice people in the South who AREN’T horrible racists.

But now, in the age of social media, when we get to actually see the day-to-day,…
