It can’t be reprinted enough:

“Racism seems to have the effect of making people extremely stupid”

Just a friendly PSA: Civil War battlefields are all haunted. Visit at your own risk!

Worrying about what “plays into” whatever narrative he wants to spin is pointless. Have you even seen how much bullshit conservative media just spins out of thin air? And all in service of the guy who lies about damn near everything he thinks about. Even when looking at photos of his own inauguration, he lied about…

It definitely will. I think this is his first non-controlled public appearance since becoming President, likely to avoid this exact scenario. This will play 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Dude is gonna be pissed.

Hours after his crowning moment of tritrumph of killing an ISIS leader no one outside of foreign policy circles really cared about, Trump wilts in the face of Natittude.

Crowd seeing veterans: Yaaaay!
Crowd seeing Trump: Boooo-
Producer: “Cut back to the fucking vets!”
Crowd seeing veterans: -ooo... Yaaaay!

And then there’s also this bit of heartwarming goodness:

We were betting on how long it would take for them to get shut down. Still filed under “Things you love to see” right behind home plate 

God, I hope that "lock him up" chant burned its way into his insecure little facsimile of a soul and we get a torrent of rage tweets about it tomorrow. HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!

The “Veterans for Impeachment” signs behind home plate at the top of the fifth was also a nice touch.

The vindication of Washington sports fans.

That’s a lot to lay on the tiny shoulders of a child. Do you feel this much “ire” every time you see a white girl with a messy bun? All children look unkempt after running around and playing all day, but only Black children get maligned as a disgrace to their entire race for doing what kids do. Can they ever just live…

Yeah, no, I cannot compute feeling “ire” at ever seeing a little girl who looks like this or having the nerve to compare this hairstyle—which looks like the girl just got out of soccer practice for fuck’s sake—to minstrel imagery.

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

> they obviously weren’t going to suspend him before even talking to the accuser.

And yet, if the defense begins to hinge on the gold-digging nature of the accuser, somehow I don’t think there’s going to be anybody complaining that the game broadcast has no place for that kind of talk.

She did mean the “Big 4" sports, and she’s absolutely right. But the NFL is going to protect all of its “cash cow” players furiously, in order to protect the product on the field.

The #MeToo movement never really hit sports.
