This is true. From the start this is only really an investigation of the Russians and their actions re: the election. Look at the indictments, they’re 90% Russian. If anything points specifically at an American, sure Mueller goes for the throat because he’s allowed to. But Mueller goes where the evidence leads. And if…

But we can count on the progressive wing of the left to do what, exactly? Besides lose, of course. Centrism is a vehicle for votes and your rejection of it necessitates loss. Purity is the death of any political movement and though we share similar views you all feel the need to rebel against something you don’t fully…

And the literal first response to this was some #wellactually white nonsense. Ugh.  But, that’s Splinter for you.  It’s old Gawker, but with half the self-deprecating humor.

Unfortunately, it will also look ineffectual and be played off as histrionic obstructionism in the press, then also used to motivate the OTHER base. And how will it play to the Ken Bones of the world, the undecideds who are just looking for any weird excuse to vote the other way?

This is going to sound like a weird…

I will always view them as illegitimate.

I haven't yet found a serious legal scholar who believes he can be. The way to remove the president from office is set forth in extreme detail in the Constitution; the justice department or a state AG can't indicted him and out him in prison. Even if they could, he'd still president, and would run the country, quite…

The belief that a sitting president can’t be indicted isn’t some far flung belief.  The reason being that it’s congress’ job to remove a lawless president. 

Everything you’re talking about is sensationalized media. Never once has the idiot in orange hair ever encouraged racism.

Hey, I’ve got no problem with giving back what conservatives throw in our face. SHS getting tossed from a restaurant or other Trump supporters getting heckled? Shoulda thought of that when you pushed your ideal on the rest of the country.

Offering to drop additional counts often is coercion, depending on why those charges were there. It’s common procedure for prosecutors to massively overcharge in hopes of changing the math enough to force a plea deal.

Journalists would write these articles about any athlete who went from guaranteed 1st rounder to completely undrafted twice - in a draft that has 1,200+ selections - due to a crime they committed as juvenile. If Heimlich got taken in the 5th round we could speculate on disparate treatment. But he wasn’t taken at all.

I agree with all of what you said. That said, I still don’t understand the point of this article and it has a clear biased agenda.

First of all, if I remember correctly, Laremy Tunsil’s pot video came out the night before the draft or even day of. That’s a lot of information for a team to process, so he fell down. The…

Silencing those you don’t agree with? Sounds kinda..... fascist. 

Tolerance - the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. 

This is a huge part of whats wrong in America: if someone has different beliefs and opinions than you, make their life miserable.

What is the excuse exactly? I’m simply bothered by notion of absolute morality. It doesn’t exist.

No one has ever claimed borders are impenetrable. But an utter lack of border control means a country ceases to exist as a country. In the case of the US it would mean we would be flooded with 10's if not 100's of millions of people. That would create a humanitarian crisis that would make the current issues look like…

Generalizing us away wont work. We are the majority.

I kind of messed that up. I don’t care about his career - i hated him before, and way more now.

If “her and her ilk” have a persecution complex, and they use that to rile up hate towards immigrants and non-white people, why do you think it’s a good idea to feed that? Moments like this go viral, and all of a sudden their perception is justified in the eyes of their supporters, only amplifying their rancor. I…
