When it comes to “bad apples,” I agree with Chris Rock.

Look what happened when Texas was able to go out and get a haircut.

It’s far better to pray for what the country should stand for than to stand for what it doesn’t.

There’s literally a note on the bottom of this report that the authors believe the reported numbers are actually inflated by about 3%, due to unknown calculation errors. They swear it’s not that the numbers have been manually tampered with, but they have no explanation.

For four years, the NFL has actively demonstrated that ANY black player who spoke out of turn would not only lose their job, they would lose their entire career and be publicly trashed at every opportunity. Not only that, they have proven that if ANY of their other employees, coaches or owners broke rank with this…

On the other hand, in Texas, if there is a day reporting no new Covid infections, that usually means it’s Monday - most test results aren’t processed over the weekend, and the first two days of the week, the reporting systems are usually fighting a backlog. If they crow about the “floating weekly comparison”, look…

Given that this report covers the previous month, I suspect that a lot of those new “Jobs” are people who took on jobs as Domino’s drivers just to get some form of paycheck on the table, though it’s not nearly as good a paycheck as what they had before losing their job in the previous month.

I can’t even say “This is how far you have to go to be disowned by the Texas GOP”, because 90% of this is timing. Without the protests, this sort of lunatic description of a black man’s tragic murder wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow among prominent Texas Republicans.

Trump wants an American Tienanmen Square. He wants a bloody military putdown so he can claim that protesters are “revolutionaries” (justifying using the Insurrection Act) and justify investigating and arresting the “criminals”.

If you can’t take Biden, just remember A) which candidate is more likely to keep a decent selection of humanity around them, and B) which candidate is more likely to actually listen to those people.

The fact that most of the Mayo tang evaporates is what makes it useful - it doesn’t interfere with what you put in the sandwich. If all you use is American cheese, yes, butter is usually a richer combination. But I find that adding butter to a grilled cheese that has a slice of tomato just isn’t as pleasing a mix…

Yet the headline news in Texas is that the three highest infection rate counties didn’t report a single death on Monday.  Never mind that the stats have often lagged after the weekend.

It takes a special kind of stupid to be a politician yet not comprehend that being seen with anything resembling a confederate flag is a textbook-level bad public relations idea, yet, idiot that he apparently is, he did nothing illegal by being publicly stupid. Keep the photo, point it out whenever and wherever he…

Once this mess really IS under control, and Trump claims all responsibility for the success, there needs to be a really big public discussion of how that is a textbook case of “stolen honor”.

I seem to recall Trump specifically telling the Governors that they were to “solve their own problems” because they knew what their constituents needed far better than he did. Then he allowed the government to hijack incoming mask and ventilator orders placed by states because he needed to replenish the national…

$500B in profit.  Boo-Hoo.

To anyone who ever dares to suggest sacrificing a human life for the sake of the economy, I highly recommend that they volunteer — It would inarguably be a step in the right direction.

Now is ALWAYS the time to do this. If you allow yourself to put it off, you will eventually lose the opportunity - always earlier than you planned. Don’t let your family history be limited to the content of government documents.

Regardless of the social merit of the movie, I find it funny that the reviewer makes every single assumption that the characters themselves make - every explanation he provides as to why the movie is redundant (and why the assumptions the movie relies upon are mythical) are positions different characters in the movie…

The loudest reaction in the theater I saw the director’s cut in happened when the damn telephone rang.
