If Utah had won, they planned on celebrating by passing around a large Starbucks coffee and letting each player have one tiny sip, Prophet be praised.

“Criticism of totally obvious Russian activity is just rehashed Commie-punching” seems to have very rapidly become an article of faith among the “it’s important for me to clarify that I’m a leftist, not a liberal” crowd.

When government security agencies have flat out said that Russia was behind the DNC email hacks and were spreading false news stories endlessly repeated on Fartbook, dismissing it as a wild conspiracy theory and blaming Paul Krugman is exactly the kind of ‘smarter than thou’ liberal you seem to be criticizing.

Not the lowest turnout in 20 years. Election post-mortems literally written in the next couple of days which didn’t account for the time it takes to finish counting votes have a tendency to fall into this trap, which is obnoxious; in one published three weeks after the event, as the leadup to a story with the ... tone…

Okay. But why are people who are voting for jobs and the economy voting for Trump? The two things holding our economy back are wages and taxes. Raise the minimum wage to stimulate growth and tax top earners to balance our commitments.

You make a basic factual error in your first two paragraphs, which didn’t exactly inspire me to closely consider the rest of the piece.

Shouldn’t Hispanic refer to residents of the island of Hispaniola much like the term Iberian refers to people from the Iberian Peninsula or British refers to people from Great Britain? Never understood why it got widespread application.

If you guys ran an unchallenged opinion from some other reactionary conservative demographic in the United States, you would rightfully be criticized for it. But of course you never would do that, would you? The claim that Fidel Castro’s crimes are equivalent in scale to those of Adolf Hitler is so fucking absurd to…

No, more like “Fidel was responsible for many civil rights abuses and must be judged harshly for them, but comparing him to Adolf Hitler is absurd on a number of dimensions, and while we’re busy judging a dead guy let’s remember that we are currently supporting dictatorships that have inflicted far worse on their…

Yea. Castro was a terrible guy but he replaced a terrible guy. Thing is, we in the US (mostly) get the side of the argument from, let’s face it, people who were doing ok or better under the first terrible guy. The fact that a major sticking point in improvements of relations is property that was seized by Castro says…

Not really. Context is key. Wearing that shirt isn’t a good enough reason to put words in someone’s mouth and start assuming what they do or don’t know. That reporter immediately attacked Kaeparnick, who is honestly an easy target at this point, and the only reason it’s even a story is Fidel coincidentally died 5…

I think five things are often missing from the one-side condemnations of Castro by Cuban-Americans -

He wasn’t using a t-shirt to make a political point. The reporter in Miami, was.

Interesting hypothetical. Trump is down by 2.2 million votes, so I wouldn’t blame the ballots just yet.

He didn’t beat me. I never voted for him. You are the guy OK with the President Elect Racist.

Was that between calling Mexicans “rapists” and grabbing women in the pussies?

Wait a minute, you’re saying that the person who should have had a gun stopped the bad guy? Great! That’s how it’s suppose to work.

Tough shit, snowflake.

HAHAHAHAHA! Says Mr. “It’s the gun’s fault. Maybe we should make shooting people illegal. Or make schools gun free zones. Then this will never happen again.” Oh my God I’m choking on the irony. 

Guns, much like ballots, are only bad if a bad guy black man has one.
