This is what makes Trump’s abuse of power in Ukraine all the more pathetic.  You want dirt on Hunter to mess with his father’s campiagn and/or are concerned about the corruption in the Biden family?  The DOJ, political dirt farmers and right-wing media are all there, willing and able to find what you need.  No need to…

“2. Should [Univision anchor] Jorge Ramos apologize for Spanish conduct in Latin America, and redress it by ensuring more people of indigenous backgrounds have hosting duties on his network?”

When you don’t believe that capitalism should be in any way regulated, how can you differentiate a scam from a business opportunity?

Wow. I really missed this mark on this one. Sorry guys. When the only response to my (probably bad) joke implying that we deserve to be ranked lower than aliens is from a racist moron, I’ve clearly failed to communicate effectively.

As a white man, I have to ask:

More like Trump’s mind is still in the 80s.

“it’s funny and you should get over it.”  I don’t ever want to hear this bullshit from another of my fellow white men again.  This is the only defense they have for their indefensible bullshit, and its not only tiresome, but it has so completely rendered the word ‘funny’ meaningless that I can’t even talk to a white…

White privilege means we are born and raised in a bubble where all the shit we tell ourselves about how this country is supposed to be - the cops are there to protect you, hard work pays off, etc. - appears to work. Most people are too damn lazy to ever examine why they believe the things they do, so they just assume…

As an educator myself, I find few things more sickening than teachers telling their students that they can’t or shouldn’t do things. By all means, tell students trade schools exist, and be honest with a student about the challenges they have set for themselves. (For example, if a student hasn’t passed a class their…

They didn’t mess up. Many (if not all, I haven’t looked at it that closely) of his victims were from groups police don’t actually consider people. They didn’t care to investigate their deaths, and so never had the opportunity to miss the connections in their cases. Which is how they wanted their departments to work,…

During the scene with Randy and Towelie, it occurred to me that the most consistently funny thing so far this season has been Towelie.  When the best thing about your season is the character who was introduced as ‘The Worst Character Ever,’ that seems like a bad sign.

How immune to irony do you have to be to be an anti-government radical at a rally for the fucking President?

I mean, I’ll never turn down an opportunity to read as Michael takes down racist idiots, but this open letter could easily be yours, or “Fuck off you racist morons.” I’m glad we get to read this, but they don’t deserve it.

The portrayal of the Thai people in part 2 might be seen as a little stereotypical?  I haven’t seen the movie in years, so I really don’t know if dove head first into making fun of Thailand for being different or handled its setting with more care.  The first one really didn’t have anything that should be an issue,…

If there was any doubt, this should remove it. The United States is not to be trusted. Three times now the Kurds have come to our aid in the region. They helped the first time against Hussein, and we left him in charge to gas and persecute them. They helped us again when we took Hussein down, and we left them to fend…

I am much more concerned about the young woman in the top page. She appears to be wearing a Patriots jersey and a Redskins hat.  Did she mean to advertise that she only supports bullshit, was she just confused, were these the only clothes she had? Did she escape from the basement of man who owns every team’s hat and…

You’re right, of course, but it’s a particularly bad take in this case because she “led the internal affairs division for the Michigan State Police”.  She was actively trying to fix things from the inside, and realized that wasn’t possible. 

Obviously.  If I hadn’t just slipped up and forgot to write ‘if’, I would be telling a decidedly NSFW story right now.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I had a scar like that that I could legitimately attribute to a sex story, I would be proud as hell.  I’d have a hard time not sharing that story at work, and I teach high school, so that would get me fired, or at least an uncomfortable discussion with my boss.

It’s good that you corrected that mistake, which clearly just resulted from the author remembering a rumor from the time and having never cared to look into the case again. It is also sad that so many AV Club commenters are people who followed that case close enough to know you were wrong off the top of their head, AND…
