Even if you had zero background on any of this, you’d never heard of Trump, and weren’t familiar with American politics or laws, he just sounds like the guiltiest motherfucker that ever committed crimes.

How can you criticize a guy who is always pulling for his teammates?

We call this “controlling the narrative.”

A certain percentage of the population would believe anything Trump and Co. say, solely because it fits their personal confirmation bias (and need to feel that they did the right thing in supporting his ascension to the Presidency).

Another, larger portion of the country is…

Mitch to democracy:

Rarely ever comment, but this one cuts to my core ... so here goes nothing.

As someone who has worked as a music journalist in earnest, the entire industry tends to be a clusterfuck of people far too willing to ape other’s opinions. It’s how you get publications saying bombastic stuff like “The Arcade Fire is the most…

There’s plenty of examples of art and music being misunderstood or appropriated by a subset of people that don’t get the nuance. Just look at what’s happened to the Rick & Morty fanbase. It’s split between people who get it and people who use it to affirm their worldview. Happens all the time.

I don’t know why, but it warms my heart when someone makes an ass out of themselves and THEN tries to paint that act as a 4D chess move.

Ben Carson Oreo:  the only cookie that self dunks itself.

Because the idea that Americans are somehow superior is a long running international joke. Consistent with much of the world, 40-60% of our population are drooling morons who can barely dress themselves in the morning. Another 10% are sociopaths. Thus leaving 30-50% who are mentally and emotionally capable of managing…

Remember, though, it’s the Democrats that are the “snowflakes.”

“Short, stupid, and entirely unnecessary.” 

What this research actually seems to be saying is that if you leave your child with a crappy babysitter who restrains them in a car seat for hours instead of actually caring for them, then there’s an increased risk they might die. Letting your baby sleep in their car seat next to you in a restaurant is not going to…

The whole matter is ridiculous since everyone knows dragon breath can’t melt steel knives, and this is clearly an inside job.

While the AAP didn’t provide clear reasons why letting infants sleep in car seats outside of moving vehicles may pose a risk...

This article’s summary of this research is so bad that it borders on willful falsehood. Here’s the actual result from the study:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: conspiracy theorists are driven by a number of motivating factors, but chief amongst them are the conviction that they (the conspiracy theorists) are the “enlightened” or “in the know” individuals who can see the obvious truths that the “sheeple” are blind to—and that any…

The only choice in 2020 is the democrat that ends up getting the nomination.

The current smear campaigns rely on a fundamental understanding of the modern American electorate: large swathes of it operate entirely by the “TL;DR” principle. They prefer their information fed to them in easily-digestible sound bites, meaning anything that requires reading more than a few sentences—or the first bit…
