People keep making this point under the assumption that a World Series game was attended exclusively by people who live within 20 minutes of the stadium. I live on the VA/NC border and have friends who drove five hours to go to game 4. It’s not just DC natives.

It’s not as if many people from the hood can afford WS tickets. Those boos came from people with money.

Yeah, but you gotta figure that the folks who are attending a World Series game are reasonably affluent, especially in the suite sections where Trump was. And as they announced the death of the ISIS leader that morning (with Trump personally performing the five finger exploding heart technique on the guy), maybe he…

I can’t believe it has taken this long for him to appear in public.

I honestly feel like something like this will be what brings him down. Not legal issues, or ethical violations....it will be something like a crowd booing and wounding his fragile little ego that will cause him to quit and let the world know, arms crossed and lip sticking out, that he didn’t want to be president…

As Chris Rock said “there are black people who aren’t even born yet who won’t vote for him.”

Yes. And from the leaked text messages by the staff member/third person in the relationship, Hill sounds like an abusive partner. Given the age difference and power differential, there is no way this relationship was kosher.

I assume the challenge in thinking is that there is also a revenge porn aspect. I can think it was bad that she had an affair with a subordinate and also think her ex-husband is a scum bag who should be prosecuted for leaking nude photos of her. But not everyone can hold multiple truths. 

To me it’s is less in how inappropriate it is, and more the fact that she’s resigning while many, many men have held onto positions of power for doing far worse. I applaud her for doing the honorable thing, but also feel sad over the fact that Roy Moore got to stay on the ballot while being a pedophile. She also…

So there’s the Jets and Mets, obviously. Which NBA training staff is considered bottom-of-the-barrel? Bulls? Knicks? Suns?

This kind of shit happens ALL over, there’s been a massive generational failure in terms of protecting athletes from coaches, medical staff, each other... Penn State wasn’t an anomaly, it was the norm. Nasser wasn’t an anomaly, he was the norm. This incident isn’t an anomaly, it’s the norm.  

Here we go again. Rape being treated like it’s no big deal and not worthy of significant punishment. I feel not only for their current victims but for their inevitable future victims.

Gender dysphoria is not mental illness. Have you ever even read anything in the DSM-5 related to it? I can pretty much guarantee that’s a no. For fucks sake, I even had a therapist that I had to school on holding outdated views/concepts.

Conservatives want trans people to conform or die

Or he lied to get out of serving.

You know that he must have back tracked on that, or claims to have converted himself to 100% straight. There's a lot to unpack with that guy and a steamer trunk full of self-loathing is part of it. 

That’s a good point. I mean, we’ve clearly arrived at the point where the right-wingers have mostly given up on legal actions against gay folks, and now trans folks are the new wedge, so it doesn’t really surprise me that all this horsecrap is happening. Still, here’s hoping that they lose this one too (and maybe a…

Maybe it’s an and instead of an or. Like repent your sorcery and we’ll strangle you out of mercy before burning you at the stake.

Conservatives want trans people to conform or die, and they’ve stopped bothering to pretend that they have a preference.

Conservatives just want to go back to a simpler time when men were men and sheep were scared.
