I don’t think we can overcome our ridiculous adherence to tribal thinking until we slander that one group of humans so much they all move to Idaho to lick their wounds, clutch their ARs and lament their inherent, genetic, irreversible, mental inferiority.

I hope your situation ended without bloodshed. And this is the proper response: Taking another life or taking action that could lead to the death of others is extremely difficult. And if a person treats it as not extremely difficult, they are extremely dangerous. Gun play ain’t like the movies. That’s why bystanders…

She looks like Eddie The Head before decomposition set in.

But her critique lacked any curiosity. We would most likely all agree that Lebron’s comments were not particularly nuanced or insightful. But the question then is to either enquire further and discover the particulars of Lebron’s disaffection or ignore it as a statement so general and bland that it’s not worthy of…

Go watch Niners vs. Chargers. The Chargers secondary was supposed to be their strength. Got lit up like a town drunk.

Biggest play of the game was the strip sack. Who doesn’t believe Brady was marching to victory without that turnover?

I’m not a super news junkie so perhaps I’m missing something here: But isn’t all of this common knowledge - Steele, Fusion GPS, DNC, Hilary? My understanding was Steele was hired for oppo research, was told about some shit he thought was outside the law and so he gave the info to the FBI (similar to what Trump’s…

You, sir, are correct. Internet points all around. You know what else? We’re still fighting a war in Afghanistan because a rogue terrorist organization used it’s confines to plan an attack on the U.S. Perhaps guns, threats, and violence don’t fix things. Perhaps the answer is compassion, education, opportunity and…

Not gonna disagree

Funner fact, the opposite combination name is what Westbrook tries to do when he mean mugs an opposing player: tear their soul a-Sunder.

I too am an SF native. And I admit I need to read up on this story (somewhere that has a bit more detail about what happened).
And while I respect The Root for bringing a black perspective to current events (Indeed I read The Root to get a black perspective on current events), I’m a little underwhelmed by a line like…

I think you’re likely right about the kind of man who would choose a sex doll. But this feels like a shaming.
Let’s put it another way - sex dolls might save women from getting involved with emotionally unavailable men leading to a reduction in domestic violence, wife killings, and sexually unfulfilling marriages.

I really don’t a wall will have much effect on the drug cartels. They have billions of dollars and we have a market that continues to want what they have to offer. Drug prices may rise a bit, but we’ve been “fighting” drug importers for decades and I’m likely two to three phone calls away from getting any drug I could…

Okay. I’m done. “women flock to him” has zero bearing in politics, policy, wall building, real estate financing. Who cares if women flock to him, how does make him a good president? You’re just trolling. Happy hunting.

He’s followed through on a number of campaign promises. And he’s failed on a number and on most he’s not made much movement:

I’ve read a little about it. Didn’t pay a lot of attention. Why? Because what Trump says he’s going to do and what Trump does is usually not the same thing. I struggle to believe that any of his “plans” and “promises” are anything but hype. This has been his M.O. for years and years.
But the real question seems to…

You do realize that even Trump has agreed to let the current fence stand and will not build his 40 foot cement super wall along the entirety of the boarder. He wants to build it some places...but not along the whole thing.

You’re right. I was using the language of gingerwhinger. But a wall won’t stop illegal immigration. Central and South Americans have shovels, ladders, ropes and airplanes.

Doesn’t your question answer itself -why build a wall when there is already a guarded fence? Why spend money (that could be better used) on a wall that won’t be any more effectual than the already existing guarded fence?
Also most illegal immigrants come legally (by plane, train, and automobile) and out-stay visas. So…

Not sure I fully understand your point. In my memory of that book (and I have no doubt i could be wrong my memory being as suspect as an all white cast) there are maybe ten characters total? And it mostly takes place inside a single house. So you’re saying that if an author chooses to write about an insular situation…
