Honestly, Deadspin’s manifesto is “ESPN is shit - until they write a poorly-sourced column that makes the Patriots look bad.”

Show us on the doll where the Sports Guy hurt you.

Which is why America needs a serious estate tax. I thought we fought a revolution to avoid dynastic rule!

Claiming that supplements cure cancer isn’t just “not mainstream,” it is the very definition of quackery. It preys on vulnerable people and prevents them from getting the help they need. It is the reason the FDA should exist.

“Double wages for working at McDonalds and you accomplish very little other than raising inflation and increasing the costs for consumer goods”

I like it when commentators are up front with how dumb they are about economics when trying to make economic arguments. 

This. Most people have no idea how much more money the really rich have than the rest of us. If we raised the tax rates to 1970 levels, we could solve a lot of social problems, but then, the rich would have to part with a lot of their hoard, and since they now own the U.S. government, and quite a few others, it’s not…

Good god, the fact that you actually believe that is what will doom us.

“Double wages for working at McDonalds and you accomplish very little other than raising inflation and increasing the costs for consumer goods”

I like how when taxes are cut for the rich and we criticize it, we all get yelled at about how “it’s not a zero-sum game!!”

People struggling to set aside enough money to retire and live a decent life?

He’s the best he is at what he does. And what he does is lose money to relocate a baseball franchise.

Why else do you think he wants to just keep fighting Nate Diaz over and over? Conor knows the hype train slows way down once Tony or Khabib destroy him.

No, officers shooting unarmed people to death is the reason officers get a bad rep today in our country.

Did the officer shoot an unarmed man who was complying? The cop made up the bullshit about reaching for the waistband, just like the cop did hen they murdered that guy in the motel hallway.

Which is another fine argument for better gun control. Another aspect of America that seems pretty crazy from Japanese eyes. Speaking as a Japanese person.

The prevalence of this attitude is what makes the American police terrifying. The US is virtually unique among developed countries in it’s willingness to allow the police to gun down their own citizens. 

Percentage of fault divided among those involved:

I came here to say the same thing. The police and the caller are both criminally liable. If a man answers the door peacefully and is then exexuted, that is terrible police recruiting / training / practice. We now know from the Daniel Shaver case that police are eager to open fire, and treat civilian lives as…

The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

It helps to know the definition of treason before fucking with it too.
