That’s probably true, I think it’s really hard to put together a successful boycott, especially for an international event. On the other hand, you could also see this as just one more image problem for the Olympics (e.g., ruining the budgets of host cities, forcible displacement of minority groups in host cities,…

I think it’s fairly indirect, but I think the IOC gets a lot of money from selling broadcast and sponsorship rights. Obviously those transactions have already happened for these Olympics, but if potential sponsors start to worry that having their names associated with the games may not be a good thing, I can see how…

He is both the titular protagonist’s dad and all of our dad ... and sports forearms that look like two hormone-plumped turkey legs plucked from a cart at Disney World.

Real himboness isn’t a state, it’s a process. The real himboness is the friends you make along the way.

The family that betrays together stays together.

“What is truth?” - Pontius Pilate and the modern day GOP. Conservative cancel culture strikes again.

Any “apology” which fails to acknowledge that Cosby is a confessed rapist who got off on a technicality is bullshit.

Sadly that may be a thig of the past: https://bangordailynews.com/2021/06/08/politics/bill-to-rein-in-vulgar-vanity-plates-easily-passes-the-maine-senate/

The conservatives justices are just making up the laws as they go.

Definitely agree about the incentives for the candidates, I’m more surprised that GOP voters keep nominating people with no chance of winning. But trolling the libs is probably a big part of it.

Cosby openly admitted that he drugged and raped women. That’s not what “innocence” is. This case was tossed for prosecutorial misconduct, Bill Cosby is still a rapist.

God, I can’t wait to see who they replace them with. Definitely gonna be at least one “I’m flying this Confederate flag because celebrating slavery and treason is diversity of political opinion” guy.

Is Rumsfeld burning in hell right now? That’s a known unknown. I kid, I don’t believe in hell, but a bad person has died, and that’s how I’m going to remember him, as an arrogant, evil shit.

Federalism works best when individual states can pursue policies supported by their own constituents

I absolutely believe it, but it’s hard to imagine that a hardcore Trumpian has the best chance of winning the state as a whole. Lots of other blue states in the region have Republican governors, but they usually seem to get elected by focusing on the less-batshit-insane parts of the platform.

I gotta doubt the wisdom of putting forward a Trumpian Republican in a blue state, but you do you, GOP.

And the kids stomach was filled with acid, another dangerous substance. No wonder the cop was so terrified.

I guess this is something they really care about. Raping children is not as big an issue.

It’s funny because if she had gotten an abortion, they never would have known and would have continued employing her. Hypocrisy ftw.

Intelligent design choices are for girls.
