A young Michael Jordan did the same thing, kind of.

Stupidity I’m fine with. It’s willful stupidity that embarrasses me. The fact that the GOP has branded it as a proud act of political defiance is downright obscene.

And I’ll stand with you. Like my ancestors stood with the dinosaurs. (The absolute stupidity of our country is embarrassing.)

America has indeed always had an anti-intellectual streak. Trump’s America is just a culmination of a generation of conservatives and the religious right putting it into hyper-drive.

Where science is treated as opinion, welcome to Trump’s America.

I was relatively ok with her making as ass of herself for her own bigoted reasons, as all it did was make her look bad, until the “God made me do it” part.
When are we as a society going to stop valuing/respecting people’s opinions who live their lives based on the belief that a fuckin fairy tale written by some…

I don’t think you’re really in the minority here. No one thinks people should be compelled to play for a soccer team. But we also believe it’s absolutely fair for fans to proudly voice their disrespect and disgust with her harmful homophobic beliefs. She deserves exactly what she got. Bigots need to be shamed loudly…

Going on the 700 Club doesn’t fall under “relatively quietly”.

I also found that quote hilarious. The NRA says that Yeti - a company that makes fucking coolers - is somehow not allowing “America’s young people to enjoy outdoor recreational activities”? The NRA is so petty, that they actually wrote that? And worse yet, people bought it, hook line and sinker, and started shooting…

Nazis and Second-Amendment fellators are morons, and MURICA lets them run free and organize.

I’d say having a thrice divorced, serial adulterer reality show host with a history of racism, sexual deviance, mocking the disabled, avoiding taxes and filing bankruptcy as President got us here.

I never thought Tiki Torches and Coolers would be caught up in political protests but here we are. How the fuck did we get here?

There is, however, one high-profile Democrat who seems willing to have Pompeo serve as America’s top diplomat: Hillary Clinton, who has reportedlybeen consulting with Pompeo for his potential stint in the State Department. Cool!

I’ve been wondering about this. These guys, ICE or LEO, seem to spend much of their time brandishing weapons while not wearing their uniforms. And yet, they never seem to consider what a legal citizen (possibly even a white guy, gasp!) will do when he says a crowd of armed men threatening a friend or co-worker of his.

As someone who grew up in the Charlottesville area, worked at a vineyard, went tumps vineyard, and went there before he owned it (It was owned by another “rich” POS, Patricia Kluge,till she went bankrupt).

My take, regarding the gateway: anyone I’ve known who crossed the gateway were going to dive through it, weed or no.

“The fact people are health-conscious but also use opioids is a weird paradox.”

Not if you assume that there is more than one person on the Earth.

I don’t know, opiate-related constipation would explain all the shit coming out of her mouth.

For the record, Kellyanne Conway does NOT use oxys and you should be ashamed of yourself for even implying that!

Haven’t had a chance to check out the fight yet, but I’ll pay specific attention to the “break” the ref gives Wilder. Always appreciate reading your perspective on a sport that is sadly under-covered. And I agree completely with your take that it’s not “good” or “bad”. Had Ortiz taken a dive for money, who am I to say…
