Because you punch up, not down.

I can’t help but wonder how Lavar Ball might be seen differently if he were white and his kids played a sport in which they were less visible, like say, baseball. Would he be perceived in a more favorable light by the mostly white press that questions his character at every turn? 

That’s a shallow read of what Ball is doing. He isn’t making his sons tour the country on the AAU circuit. He’s not whoring them out to shoe companies and agents.

I am shocked, shocked I say!, that a profanity was uttered in a hockey locker room. Of all places! What’s this fucking world coming to?

Dimentia is when one patient displays two cases of dementia at once. It’s clinically related to trimentia and, of course, tetramentia.

Don’t worry about it. Its just the white house staff getting their memories fixed to be more in line with whatever todays top excuses are

for his dimentia.

And, like Arya, the show will stick us with the pointy end.

He is literally everything the GOP claims to hate.

Can someone teach Trump HOW TO SIT ON A GODDDAMN CHAIR?!?

Show of hands: who now wants to see a picture of this agent?

i think one of the things that angers me/shocks me/saddens me the most about trumps presidency is that if Obama had been accused of any of the daily shit we find out about trump, he would be in handcuffs and impeached immediately. yet trump supporters/republicans defend trump and basically say “nothing to see here,…

We’d really waste less time if we simply required Kislyak to note all of the American politicians with whom he has met. All on one list, yo!

It does remind me of the Cameo Carrier’s “hidden” spare, in a compartment under the bed, hidden away from the elements:

No I didn’t! The Corvair has its spare in the engine bay; the two cars I mentioned have something totally different, a trap door under the trunk. Look!

I am surprised you didn’t mention this bit. From wikipedia on the VW Type 1 “Beetle”:

rear-engined cars like the Renault Dauphine or the Tatra T603 

I mean you can go north to SF or south to Watsonville but 17 is the shortest route out of Santa Cruz.
