This might be an unpopular opinion, but stereotypes are often based on a grain of truth. There are a lot of black people where, if you poison their children, they won’t think it’s fair to tell them they have to pay for the poison. Oh wait, not just black people, people in general are like that. Well, whatever.

Am I going crazy, or did I just read that people are about to lose their houses because they were expected to pay for poisoned water?

The GCC blockade of Qatar is pretty fucking huge and I’m not convinced at all Trump didn’t at least give his blessings. They’ve demanded the country to shutter Al-Jazeera, expel Hamas/MB members, cease criticism of Egypt and cut ties to Iran.

McMaster, Tillerson, and Mattis had all worked to include a statement supporting the mutual defense pledge in Trump’s now-infamous NATO speech.

I mean, there are reasons that privatization isn’t necessarily a terrible idea? It’s an idea that’s been floated since the 90's, and other countries have done this without disastrous results.

I don’t understand how there’s not a mass of resignations following this bullshit. These attorneys essentially have no choice but to defend this bullshit, and for something that’s so indefensible they’ve actually done a really good job. They’ve gotten several federal judges, presumably all fairly smart, to agree to…

People can call me islamaphobic if they want, but the problem is that the islamic world is far, far right wing and the majority believe in political islam. Islam desperately needs a progressive liberal reformation as advocated by muslims like Irshad Manji and Majid Nawaz. It needs a sexual liberation movement. It…

As an atheist vaper, I would like so say that this arrogant prick doesn’t speak to me or for me.

Is Maher losing his mind? Or has he just been given a pass so many times that he’s become deluded into thinking he can say whatever the hell he wants?

Maher has been saying racist shit for years and still inexplicably has a show. He is a garbage human.

I was hating Arcade Fire before it was cool.

But one of trumps favorites...right next to Absolut Piss

I read the Smithsonian piece, but I still don’t get how this rink was actually made. I mean, did the ingredients just harden enough to skate on? Was it slick because it was greasy? If you fell did you ruin your outfit? And what about “ice shavings?” Did they have a Kitchen-Aid Zamboni for this monstrosity?

Absolut Ass is their least popular vodka!
