I feel like Chrissie Hynde’s spent a long time and a lot of emotional energy fortifying herself with reason and getting to a place where she believes what she said and that there isn’t anything wrong with that. Chipping away at her interpretation - one that probably comforts her - seems shitty and wrong. She shouldn’t…

The article isn’t about whether you “give a shit” or not. The article is about whether it’s defensible to actively bar entry to your country to someone because of the content of their art. That’s the question being posed. Not if you find the content of his music objectionable or not.

Fine, but don’t stop there. Why not outright ban Tyler’s music where he was denied entry and more importantly, deny Eminem’s visa on the same grounds? Too much inconsistency and it’s all headed to dangerous territory

Not sure the list of names that you have offered is comparable, all of these people excluding Yusuf Islam actually did something that caused their visa to be revoked. The notion that we can deny visa based on thoughts and art created is absurd. The drug use histories of Amy, George, Nigella is what cause the denial…

There is a weird glee that people get from dragging out bad opinions people had in their younger, dumber days. Like, I was extremely “problematic,” as they say, as a youth, but thank God I didn’t have a twitter account to write all my dumbshit opinions about women or whatever. Then I grew up! And it’s fine! I…

Oh and additionally you don’t seem to have been able to comprehend the actual argument the piece was making.

You are insufficiently pious

I’ve decided to put this here: One time in highschool basketball we won the tip backwards and our idiot small forward got the ball and tried to score on our own goal, but instead of going in for an uncontested layup, he airballed a 3 pointer.

That letter still makes my blood boil. I thought we had reached the absolute nadir of Congressional Republicans and their borderline treason when they invited Bibi to come spew fearmongering bullshit, but that was a dance around the friggin’ maypole compared to the open attempt top scuttle a deal and deliberately…

I seriously hope that Schumer has bungled his chance at leadership.

Given that Netanyahu has been claiming for 20 years that Iran is just years, months, DAYS from developing a nuclear weapon, I’m pretty sure the women in Congress, especially the more senior women, are wise to his bullshit.

At what point can the SPLC designate AIPAC an anti-Islam hate group?

Pretty sure the Saudis aren't too happy either.

shoutout to all yall female legislators for not buying Israeli-manufactured DC-packaged fearmongering bullshit, too.

I was wondering why he couldn’t make a good throw to home plate for the pickoff. After all, that’s his job.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it has been 10 years since someone stole home against a right handed pitcher. I don't think that's what they meant though, so your incredulous question is still valid.

Pitchers are getting out of hand with their routine’s like batters were. Good for Andrus making this guy look like an idiot.

Elvis Andrus is so sneaky. Adrian Beltre’s head is in big trouble.

You’re wrong. The thing he posted alleged that 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. The truth is that 5-10% of people in primarily Islamic countries support the goals of the extremists. Actual members of extremist organizations are a tiny fraction of those supporters.

He’s dead on. It’s amazing (not really) how difficult it is for the media to report simple bs like a meme accurately. It’s perfectly reasonable to compare extremist Muslims to Nazis. Is it a dumb meme? Of course. Is Schilling dumb for tweeting that crap and not expecting outrage? Yes. Is what he said racist? Fuck no.…
