People like you are why we can’t have a rational discussion about this issue. “Shall not be infringed! Shall not be infringed! Second Amendment!” Eventually, you folks start ranting about gun confiscation and Hitler and how the federal government should confine itself to fixing potholes and waging war rather than…

Next month, there’ll be a Chinese railroad worker in the family tree, and a Native American (Cherokee or Lakota) in March. Or maybe the railroad worker will have married a Cherokee princess.

Whataboutism. Well, that was fast.

They’ve rebranded it as a patriotic stand against tyranny. Because forming your own damn country, with a President and all the trimmings, is how you tell DC you’re unhappy. That’s why they can fly any one of the historical United States flags alongside any one of the Confederate flags without breaking their brains.…

“What about the men?” is the wail when the biopic about a powerful woman doesn’t credit all her success to the heroic man or men in her life.

Mike Espy isn’t the Kurgan and you, Bryant, are definitely not Connor MacLeod. 

Fox News give you those statistics? The ‘We’re going to war: YAY!’ crowd must have answered the poll.

I bet Sutherland doesn’t think he assaulted this woman, since he didn’t beat or threaten her.

Every good comedian is at least pretending to be smarter than the rest of us. Their job is to poke at complacency and foolishness, to make the powerful squirm.

Yep. They’re so patriotic and brave and loyal and citizen-y and now they can prove it. Get in line or browbeat their kids or grandkids into enlisting. Show us libtards and thinking people how to be real American heroes and patriots! Put some skin in the game. 

No victim-blaming. And no using mental illness or other issues to excuse assault and attempted murder.

As for ‘What the fuck is wrong with people?’ — that’s why we have to remain aware. Why we must vote in our local elections — and put up candidates so that incumbents aren’t re-elected by default. Why we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good: if Choice A is a complete disaster and Choice B is relatively…

Got news for Cheong: we brought on the Iranian Revolution when we replaced their duly-elected President with the formerly-exiled Shah.

So we can’t have our own, whenever it started? Let’s all just sit home and watch the broadcast from NYC?

Maybe we should look at the materials they use. What’s in those packages these days? If someone’s ignorant or malicious enough to use slavery as a topic for word problems or essay questions or class activities, teachers who never spoke to anyone involved in the Civil Rights movement (or to a person of color about…

That seems to be the ‘thinking’ of those who criminalize homelessness but refuse to establish and fund programs to help people before or after they become homeless. 

The logic is that making homelessness illegal will discourage people from choosing to be homeless. I mean, it’s nothing to do with being unable to pay for even the cheap places, or having mental health problems, or falling through the cracks in the safety net, or anything else, is it? Nope: people somehow choose to be…

We should bring those words back. Sometimes you need a way to work up to ‘goddamn fucking bullshit’ -- and it will flummox the younger MAGAts.

The meaning changes. Thanks to the goddamn Nazis, a nearly universal symbol with positive meanings has become perverted. Now anybody whose neo-pagan (not counting the racist contingent of Asatru) better find or design a fylfot.

I wouldn’t even dignify it that way. The teacher was oblivious, foolish, and so blinded by privilege they didn’t even see the harm.
