Yeah, we need to follow the schoolyard rules of cruel nicknames: no matter how dumb or poorly conceived the nickname is, if it makes the kid cry, it is their’s for the rest of their life.

Counterpoint: from all accounts, the nickname seems to seriously piss him off, and I enjoy that very much, so I suggest that everyone continue using it. Thank you. 

At least they say it all out loud now?

I’m surprised they moved away from the original talking point, which was that the poem was added later and not part of the original Statue of Liberty, as though that meant anything.

Imagine thinking that some constitution, written be a bunch of slave-owners before the modern era, is supposed to dictate the entirety of our <everything> in perpetuity.

“Daddy has no love to give, Junior. Daddy is a narcissist. You will never catch enough big fish, or squat enough weight with shitty form to earn his approval. I’m sorry, Don, I know this is painful to deal with.

That’s a wonderfully privileged take you got there. Hunting for food is actually a good thing and keeps plenty of people fed either through their own efforts or donating the meat to food banks. Not everyone can go down the block want shop for the latest in factory farmed cow and chicken.

“I’m a big believer in sustainable fisheries and catch and release but every once in a while I keep a fish for dinner.”

Yeah, there’s the problem. AR-15's are optimized for killing humans, pretty messily at that. So unless you are playing The Most Dangerous Game (which, uh, you should not be), you don’t want a weapon optimized for killing humans to kill animals. An AR-15 will likely just bloody and piss off a feral hog, which makes…

Yeah, they are fucking quick. That’s why shooting them straight up only gets you the one.

He was definitely wrong if he was advocating for the AR-15 or anything else chambered for .223, unless you happen to like hogs to be bloodied and pissed off but very much alive. There’s some superficial appeal to the idea of something high-capacity and quick for dealing with a large number of hogs, but that doesn’t…

That was mean. I can't believe you of all people would go off half-cocked like that.

Unless it’s a gay people-hating asshole, in which case any opportunity to humiliate that piece of shit is very much worth doing and bragging about...

The way the right wing nut jobs whine and cry about these peaceful protests, you would think that they arrested and detained families and separated children from them in concentration camps or gunned down innocent people in the streets.

I rode in a charity ride where Armstrong showed up as a special guest. He figured out who the strong riders were, sucked wheel, and dropped them at top of every climb just to prove a point. He’s a doper and an asshole. Still, he’s never denied hating wingnuts

Laugh if you want, but it takes ball to publicly humiliate the second most powerful man in the world. 

I feel like I’ve read this exact same story about this exact same douche at least three different times. 

Given that his gay son thinks they’re a racist group, and his wife insists that it was “White Caucasians” who are to be credited for the United States, it’s gonna be hard to convince folks otherwise.

I’m sure someone is already writing an article about violence in the white community, the objectification of women and glorification of guns in country music, and what those people do at rodeos.
