People like this guy are usually introduced to me as an intellectual, then the conversation inevitably drifts to why I would choose to be part of the corrupt academic system instead of tutoring rich kids via Skype from a suburb of Portland or some other white enclave.

I’m hoping she got her screwup out of the way early with that one and stays focused.

I understand it seems like a powerful symbol, but starting a fire with no regard for the lives of the people around you hands the people you a protesting against exactly the narrative they want. They will be perfectly happy if somebody dies as long as it feeds their purpose.

Oh I guess I read into it too much and took the oddly specific detail about the clip being 17 seconds to factor into the title. Like they were letting you know what you were in for in terms of time commitment.

Maybe it can be summed up as “playing to not lose.”

So Trump lost control of his Pecker. We always knew that would be his undoing.
