It’s really weird how the Times will publish Erik Prince’s op-ed about how he should be allowed to kill Afghans but won’t publish my response about how Erik Prince should be lined up against the wall and shot and his money confiscated to be redistributed to the people he’s harmed.

Because the military became god-heroes thanks to cultural guilt over Vietnam, which excuses everything Blackwater types do by being “near-military”.

Isn’t people seeing the uniform before they see you THE ENTIRE POINT OF UNIFORMS. Also I’m white and I was taught by my parents (also white) from a young age not to trust cops, or direct relatives of cops. (wow now that I think about it that was the only prejudice ever drilled into me) I don’t know if that’s normal…

This is on track to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen all week, and it’s Monday. Also: For the love of God, PLEASE stop cherry picking Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes. He’s absolutely spinning in his grave.

Like Mnuchin and Kushner, right?

Yeah the selective reporting is like a page out of the Trump handbook.

When did your brain your brain stop working?

I’m backing away from this show and my previous support for it. I was wavering before this past weekend but not anymore. I won’t be party to even a smidge of support for Nazi’s and their ilk. I keep politics and entertainment interests separate but it’s too intertwined here. I’m sure the production values will be…

Calling this “non-partisan” is some of the most vapid bullshit I’ve ever heard. There is no such thing as non-partisan. There’s only equally partisan or partisan. Non-partisan implies that we’re only going to focus on the facts and that is precisely the opposite of what is going on. There isn’t even a basic…

After last weekend, I have never had less hope for a cure.

Damm King Jong Un really missed out on a perfect target for a tactical nuclear strike.

The 2nd ballot thing is really bullshit. I mean, everything about this is bullshit, but the insistence on a 2nd ballot is just ridiculous. It’s not like it was 51-49 in favor. It was ninety percent. No way there was a 40% margin of error in that original vote.

I love how Slate’s response to the writers’ request that they spend more on the staff is to imply that if they do so, they won’t have any money to hire their replacements.

I was thinking about this earlier today, and I realized that what we need is a “five pillars” document that spells out the top five priorities for legislation in the next hypothetical Democratic government. Make a nice pretty brochure and website to promote it, with graphics (emoji? they need to be simple and iconic)…

Of course they don’t know what they’re going to do. They couldn’t beat a repugnant halfwit like Donald Fucking Trump by running someone who was arguably the-most-legitimately-qualified-person-to-be-President-who-had-not-actually-already-been-President in the entire world. Buncha dumbasses. Shit, just on foreign policy…

This has racial and political intimidation written all over it. The State Attorney , who is suing the Governor over him reassigning cases after her refusal to recommend the death penalty, just so happens to get pulled over by two white cops.

Was she recording? It seemed possible that’s what she was doing with her phone. Smart move, if so.

I really hope you understand how much you’re already taking away from everyone else who uses the city. This type of self-centered failure to realize your costs to society, combined with the gall to complain for further special treatment, is exactly why we can’t have nice things.

So pay for a parking spot, you giant baby.
