I’m just saying the bar needs to be set higher than “something bad happened to a black woman so clearly racism is the motive”.

I think people are objecting to the politicization of the military and this event in general, displays of military force in the name of jingoism, and the sense that Trump is using a national holiday to celebrate himself, basically turning it into another political rally. There’s a reason other Presidents have avoided…

You can’t negotiate with an opposition who’s most defining identity is their complete refusal to negotiate with you. Obama’s presidency definitely had issues, but I can’t really criticize him for that 

But what you can’t do is chastise her for actions she is making amends for.

This pisses me off. The legitimacy of someone’s existence as a human being isn’t like deciding whether or not you’re gonna eat shellfish or observe the sabbath. You don’t have to respect anyone who “disagrees” with homosexuality for “Biblical” reasons any more than you should respect someone who disagrees with the…

The Bucks lost in the Finals the year Jabbar left

He’s been doing this for years, he’s a serious creep. Hopefully he finally sees some real consequences 

Someone with an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV sexually. So your friend is mistaken if that’s what they mean. Multiple studies have confirmed this. I’m not 100% on whether that hold for blood transfer though. I would assume it hold true, since the viral load in the blood would be zero, but maybe someone…

Russell’s an RFA

I hate Ted Cruz but this is actually funny

I don’t think I ever would have admitted this

South of Portland too I believe

Pretending dumb ideas are smart ideas helps no one. Also, our society isn’t more violent than it was in the past, violent crime has dropped generally. Baltimore specifically has many problems that are gonna require a complex solution, not some nonsense.

I figured there was probably something like that going on. You occasionally hear of stories where kids get named in lawsuits and someone tries to frame it as an adult being malicious and going after a child, but often there are legit legal reasons a child needs to be named, like that story a few years ago about the…

Sounds like something someone’s drunk uncle would propose, talking about how real they were back in the day 

Since you used the word “literally” I feel I’m free to be pedantic and point out that the House has the sole power of impeachment of the President. I know you actually mean removal from office, which would only occur if the Senate then convicted him after holding a trial, but that’s clearly not what Lichtman is…

Oh if Trump had inherited power in a country like North Korea he’d absolutely be one of the most bloody, petty dictators in history. He also wouldn’t have any moral qualms about genocide if he had a military that would follow him down that path.

Innocent people have been accused of sexual assault and taken their lives though.
