Having worked with some lawyers, there are a lot of smart lawyers. There are also a fair number of dumb lawyers.

That must be the real reason all their winners have pale skin. The more blood rushing to your face you show, the stronger your claim to universal, unassailable truth.

Holy shit, they’ve been trying to avoid looking malicious or silly so far? This is what that looks like???

You can do better than conflating developmental disabilities with this woman’s intentional choice to embrace this crap.

The same people who were so upset that they heard “the Squad” said a mean thing about Trump and America one time are calling this “empty posturing.”

We think Mother’s moving weight?

I think I want to try this? Are you leaving it over the coals for this?

I don’t want to give them my money either, but they’ve got all this stuff that looks good now, and they’ll probably apply some of their billions to the budgets, and....

I’m betting it’s right around the Wilson era.

Well, at least they’ll probably have a couple of kids first so they can traumatize and indoctrinate someone.

I’d point out that this is a choice these people are making. There’s no call to go trying to associate this shitty behavior with illnesses that are both clinical and without a moral failing on anyone’s part.

Shit, I bet she’s been to a bunch of parties where people wear lots of attire not a part of their cultural background. Pressed, she’d probably argue that that’s different, that’s “just a costume.”

Nothing says “We’re here voluntarily and having a good time” like unmoving, beaming smiles from everyone, including the guy with what looks a lot like a shiner.

Seems like he tried to handle it himself, and lo, he was handled in his turn.

I fucking love libertarians. And by that, I mean they’re ridiculous and dumb so much of the time in harmful and/or cruel ways that we’re really forced to laugh when they do some shit like that.

I’ve met a bunch of those guys (a family member is friends with several, and others are just from my hometown or near where I live now), and I promise, even among the ones with money and status and education, some of them are still pretty racist. Like, they’re not all “comfortable with the N-word” racist, but they’re…

“Optimizing” usually doesn’t include assisting agents of a burgeoning authoritarian police state, or embracing the descent of one’s soul into a moldy pancake. So that would run counter to their mission statement.

“I can’t believe people would oppose illegal searches and detentions by federal agents, or that they would want their neighbors to remain with their families despite the fact that undocumented immigrants killed a number of people comparable to, but less than, Romaine lettuce last year.”

Hey. Hey. Credit where it’s due.

They certainly seemed to have trained him on use of force out of the Wal-Mart Bargain Bin. A lot of old Chuck Norris and Charlie Bronson features, is my guess.
