Love that this is what’s dominating conservative news today. You can smell the desperation.

This stupid show has been on for six years? I’ve never even heard of it.

He was promptly fired after the game. Security along the wall in Arizona are forbidden to help Latinos in any way.

Negron’s body was left uncovered in the street for six hours, which Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez says was an error in forensics protocol.

And he, in turn, is strawmanning the shit out of younger people. Yeah, I’m sure the guys I know who live 4 people in a 1-bedroom apartment are jetting out to Europe every year and paying $20 for avocado toast.

maybe you never saw the time he dove into the stands, or the other time he dove into the stands and then pumped his fist

Yeah, Palmeiro won the GG in ‘99 when he played 28 games at 1B and 128 as a DH. He had won the GG at 1B in both ‘97 and ‘98 (and played those years entirely in the field) and when ‘99 rolled around the voters didn’t bother checking to see if his position had changed and just gave it to him again.

he was a “great captain” because every front-running mouth-breather who grew up in the 90's couldn’t wait to hitch their wagon to the next marketable “star”

There’s this myth among older generations that because Millenials have a few gadgets and fancy coffee they’re spending their money like drunken sailors. I can’t think of a bigger lie: at their age, in the 90s, I and everyone else  spent a lot more on clothes, cosmetics, cars, concerts and restaurants. I knew no one

Millennial here, with $50,000 in student debt, living in an obscenely expensive city because that’s where work is, haven’t ever taken a vacation, am finally not skirting poverty for the first time in my life. But sure, it’s the occasional latte that’s stopping me from entering a housing market that starts at $900k.

Also important to remember that in Sydney current home prices average $1,000,000. That means that a million dollars gets you a pretty average house that’s not particularly close to employment centers. So this guy is even more of an asshole than you’ve given him credit for.

Totally concur with this reading. I also suspect he has some friends or acquaintances who have maybe fallen on some “hard times” (maybe not quite millionaires anymore) and unwisely continue with their former spending habits. Then he clucks his tongue and says ‘kids these days.’ When you’re rich, everything you see is

My guess is that he has seen some young people eat at the same places he has and assumes that all young people in all places eat at expensive restaurants when the fact of the matter is that the young people he is in contact with probably come from wealthy families that subsidize their avocado toast and coffee habits.

Yes, I agree, this millionaire is setting up a strawman argument. He provides no evidence that the people who have trouble affording houses are actually spending their money on toast, vacations, etc.

It’s actually worse than that. I consider myself a student of body language, and his screams “Hell yes, I’ve hit my children/wife/dog, so don’t you fucking step up to ME, Missy!”

Gahd, what a cunt this guy is. Those hyperpaternalistic smug condescending types make me puke. FUCK your ‘nice’, bro. Don’t pretend you’re Big Daddy and scold grown women in public for asking you a fair goddamn question.

Saying that Native Americans take anything for granted seems like one of the most outrageously offensive things you could possibly let pass through your lips.

Lately, getting offended by manners and impropriety is their go-to defense - even when the constiuent/journalist/adversary isn’t actually being rude or discourteous.

This is outrageous. And yet, so typical. He would NEVER say that to a white man. I don’t think he would say it to me, a respectable-looking white woman. And she asked a legitimate question. GOD WHAT A TOOL.
