The “he’s just a kid” arguments fall on deaf ears when the kid is black and shot dead. It should not apply here. Even at 12 my kid knew better because he’s not an asshole.

That would never in a million fucking years would be my kid. And if it was, I wouldn’t hire him a PR firm and encourage him to feign some kind of privileged victimhood.

What’s it like being this naive in TYOOL 2019?

It’s gotten to the point where if I see something talking about “both sides” I know one of those sides is going to be hateful.

Yes, he does deserve vitriol and it is a product of his current generation. Every teenager has a phone, every phone has a camera, and every camera is pointed at whatever drama it can capture. He was being an entitled little prick on camera and pretending that he was scared is not believable.

Everything about that video is fucking nightmare fuel.

Keep in mind through all of this that there is a high-powered GOP-linked PR firm behind everything coming from the family and school since the story broke. It’s a firm connected to Mitch McConnell. None of this is an accident or some “natural evolution” of the story.

Hasn't Greece been through enough? 

That little shit was standing in front of Nathan Phillips purely so he could look like a big shot to his friends. End of story. And fuck NBC for giving him a microphone to lie about it. I stopped watching Today long before Matt Lauer was exposed for the creepy dick he is, but it’s now a cold day in hell before I watch…

right? i feel like our media right now has this mindset of “giving everyone equal air time” and “sharing both sides of the story.” but one side objectively fucking sucks. we know what this kid was doing, and we know why. don’t give his crybaby tour a platform. phillips’ response immediately following was gracious and…

“It was a blackout, we were showing school spirit”. Then why in the holy hell did you put white around your mouth and eyes you racist cracker?

This is their defense:

“I’m sorry you caught me.”

Few things here, if you don’t want people to think you are racist, don’t were a MAGA hat. If you think, oh, that could be my son, you need to raise your children to be better people. And lets not forget, this whole thing happened because a Catholic high school decided to take a bus full of teenage boys to a protest…

Yet another “I wish I had not gotten called out for my actions. I was under the impression as a well-to-do white male I could do whatever I wanted.”

Since I might as well name names, Nancy Pelosi offered a friend of mine $20k (before taxes!) for an entry level position. In 2015. My friend could not take it. Some college grad who had monetary help from family did.

We also need to force prices down on some things like rent and cars and groceries and other essentials for one’s home.

I think the defense budget could be a bit smaller, don’t you?

She also usually looks like she does her hair/makeup herself which is fine, except then she goes out in situations where she wears really fancy clothes and is surrounded by people who spend hours with personal stylists, etc. If she were just a normal person in normal clothes in normal situations, she’d range from…

I keep thinking that there must be some makeover, new hairstyle, whatever that could help.
