My perspective: "If I'm doing nothing wrong" is all the more reason for you to fuck off and leave me alone.

Good point. I'm also white, but my bullshit threshold is fairly low, so I'm not letting anyone see my children's shit, especially if they're acting like rabid jackasses.

Let's say, for argument's sake, that she looks at his phone and realizes it's not hers. Then what? Empty his pockets? Check his backpack? It's not my responsibility to make sure you have all of your property. That woman should be ashamed.

Exactly. You can fuck right off coming at and my family like that. Give me fifty bucks, and I'll let you see my lock screen. Otherwise, I got nothing for you.

And yet there are people who are saying that the father should have deescalated everything by letting them look at his son’s phone. I call bullshit. I don’t think you owe anyone anything if you’re minding your business and doing nothing wrong. You could deescalate a situation by not making outrageous allegations.

You mean teams like New Orleans and Tennessee? 

So you're going to ignore the job the suspect Packers defense did at holding Henry to 98 yards rushing? Or the two picks they forced against Tannehill (who'd been lauded for his efficiency earlier in the broadcast)?

As I've said before, I'm a white dude living in MKE by way of SC. Between the dude from Oshkosh and the Wisconsin folks who wanted to arrest Governor Whitmer over in Michigan, here's a reminder that these white fucknuts are everywhere, not just in the backwoods of the southeastern US.

That's fair

Which is so fucked up. Your example is someone who cares more about being right than about doing the right and responsible thing. Catch and spread Covid to own the libs.

My mother in law, sister in law, and her husband all live in Ohio, and they’re hard core Trumpers and Covid deniers. My mother in law swears she had Covid last year, but won’t do Jack shit when my wife suggests that she should get the antibodies test to see if she really did (Hint: I don’t think there’s any fucking…

I still believe that feeding ex presidents to a pen full of hungry pigs is largely a very bad precedent to set, but I'm more than willing to test that with this guy.

Devil's Highway is a must read. I challenge anyone to read it and still look at immigrants as inherently criminal just because they illegally cross a border.

I’m sorry for your loss. I agree with you wholeheartedly about celebrity culture. We give celebs/ influencers too much attention for stupid bullshit, and they seem reckless in some of their product/ lifestyle promotion.

I’m a MKE resident, and I won’t lie. I cried a little bit when I found out that he signed the supermax. That’s how much Giannis is beloved around here. There will absolutely be a statue of Giannis in front of Fiserv Forum one day.

Correct. It’s using legal mechanisms in the most cynical and reckless ways in order to sow discord and undermine the new administration. His behavior is murdering the concept of peaceful transfer of power.

My only hope is that the history books will call this a blatant coup attempt.

The thing that galls me most is that the entire lot of Trumps are lying, unprincipled assholes. They have nothing useful, they won't shut the fuck up about it, they won't go away, and a depressing number of people idolize the entire family. I said this to my daughter tonight: I'm fifty years old. I will go to my grave…

You, too. All the best to you and your family. 

I’m willing to answer any questions, and after I revisited our entire conversation as well as my preceding posts, I understand where you are coming from. In my telling of the story and my follow up, I probably didn’t convey everything about those three minutes of a day six years in my rear view mirror in their proper…
