You’ve made the classic mistake of assuming any of these people will follow through on their debts.

Generally agreed, and it would be nice if people in the media actually used word like lie and liar about Trump. But I think gaslighting works well here because it’s a more specific, more elaborate thing. When my wife asks me if I actually ate sixteen oreos for breakfast and I deny it, that’s a lie. But if I were to…

To be fair, all he has to do is ask himself what his brother would do, and then not do that.

I wrote this in another post on Splinter but it needs to be read here.

Amazing that you don't see the irony in your comment.

The youth tobacco use rate has been on a downward trend for decades, until e-cigarettes became common. It increased by about 40% between 2017 and 2018.

For some reason, Owens was invited by Republicans...

“I hit a woman, got beaten up for it, and still think I’m in the right” - The Robert L. story.

I think white folks are, ehh, ‘informed’ by rap songs they heard as a teenager.

Republicans don’t give a shit about sexual assault or women’s safety unless they can use it as a cudgel against the homeless and LGBTQ people.

Be nice if some viewers thought, “Wow Mexico seems a tough place, we should really offer the asylum-seekers from Central America somewhere safer to live than that.”

Can we talk about the fact that there was a Rambo cartoon in the mid-80s, along with Rambo action figures (if I remember correctly, adorned with painted-on-scars), complete with plastic weapons and ridiculously sized combat knives?

Well the last two letters are important.

sometimes you just gotta give banks the go-ahead to steal homes from black people. otherwise the banks would have to pay out on their bad bets. and Timothy Geithner assures you: that would have made him SAD.

He also successfully cheapened the hearing and wasted a considerable amount of time. By making the hearings a joke, people don’t attach much value to them and just assume “both sides calling names.”  It’s hearing nihilism.

What this is really about is white women wanting to retain the “right” to harm their children and the children of their others. It’s not borderline racist to co-opt the language of the civil rights movement to try and keep the privilege of exposing their children to diseases that have long since been cured and nearly…

1) Trump activated a part of the GOP base that voted rarely.

IDGAF if she was dancing on 9/11, if shit’s so serious make it a damn holiday where we all sit at home and be sad. It’s been almost twenty years, unless you were personally affected by the event it’s time to move on.

The center only works when all sides try to work together for a common good.
