Not a penny of this issue involves public money. Worker’s comp is 100% employer funded. That’s why the owner of the Bears cares about this issue.

Athletes may not work as an athlete until they are 67, but a severe injury leading to disability can hinder their ability to work for the rest of their lives. That’s why the argument for the bill is complete and utter bullshit, and would ultimately cost the public huge sums of money (assuming Trump doesn’t dismantle…

“but the sheep candidate had emails and Baaa-nghazi”

Always relevant:

I felt less heart-wrenching fear and stress in eight years under George Bush and two years living in Indiana under Mike Pence, all combined, than I have felt just in the first two weeks of this Presidency. To use a quote going around a lot, lately: “this is not normal.”

I believe it because it’s objectively true, yes.

@trump_regrets

I work with a woman like this. The level of cognitive dissonance is shocking. “Every eight years it seems like the pendulum swings the other way..why are all my friends mad I voted for Trump?” Because the fucking pendulum swung all the way to the right and then right off the lines of the map.

Serious question. Are there any level-headed people out there anymore?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m not letting them forget it. They were so goddamned PROUD of their vote on election day, and now that he’s doing exactly what he promised suddenly it’s not seeming like it was such a good idea to deliberately tear your country down because you wanted to “spite libtards.”

Spot on:

Again, I’m sorry about all this. The last thing I want is to sit here like some goth nihilist dipshit and lecture everyone, and douse a seemingly festive occasion in cold piss. I wanna snap out of it. I want EVERYONE to snap out of it. I want America to wake up in a fevered sweat and realize what it’s done and…

It must be really hard for you to have to hear about the terribleness that is happening in our country. The Democrats fear of Trump targeting Muslims is definitely the same as Republicans saying Obama was going to steal your guns and so I know how difficult it is for you to deal with these obviously equal scenarios.

Yeah, actually. Totally. I sometimes wish I could turn off my critical thinking capabilities and my senses of empathy and justice and just... go along. I have a big aquarium with lots of fish. The just swim back and forth, utterly and blissfully ignorant of everything except when food gets dropped in the top. Then…

Hear, hear. I had no plans to watch the Super Bowl this year, as I haven’t watched the last three, but I kinda wish that I was going to, just so I could not, if that makes any sense. The absolutely repugnant force-feeding of jingoistic bullshit by the NFL seems ten times worse this year, when this country is so…

Concur. Our national self-inflicted wound makes this shitty match-up even less relevant.

Living in Seattle, I have a friend that he dated for a while. He hit her. Fuck this guy. Fuck him. He’s such a lying piece of shit.

Tom Brady is not a kicker

The Lombardi family surely has some copies too. Vince made tons of them- he just taped over the film of his wedding, kids’ birthdays, Christmases, etc.
