You used that word, “directly.” I do not think it means what you think it means.

Because he lives in that ridiculous environment in which all of these assholes all know each other and fuck each other and churn out entitled dickhead children who go on to know and fuck each other and churn out their own tiny dickheads. And all the while, each of them knows they’re good people because they aren’t…

That doesn’t even sound like him.

Not a hopeful thing, since he will sign anything anyone puts in front of him, without even glancing at the substance. “Whoops, my bad, Mr. President - I accidentally put a Paper McDonalds placemat on your desk instead of the bill. But you signed it anyway, so I guess we’re gonna drone strike the Hamburglar.”

To these people, it’s just a reflex to hate any rights guaranteed by theBill of Rights.*

I bet he didn’t - because that’s not really how it works. I mean, I think it’s all a lot of horseshit, but if her faith is protestant, as long as she “accepted Jesus as her lord and savior” she can roll up to the gates with a whole wheelbarrow full of unconfessed sins.

“Her daughter had reportedly admired Tyson’s earlier book Blood Done Sign My Name, which is centered on another racially charged murder committed by someone known to Tyson’s family.”

Speak for yourself. I woulda gotten my ass handed to me on account of my quick, violent temper and all the dirty shameful skeletons in my closet.

Whether the cop is correct about that or not, did you see the video? He took that lady down and jammed a taser in her back because she raised her voice at him. There was NO plausible threat there at all. That was a pure temper fit by a cop who got pissy that she was insufficiently obsequious.

“Utter and abject failure.” She lost the election, yes. However, she did win three million more votes than Trump. It’s a failure, no doubt, but “utter and abject” makes me think you aren’t viewing this entirely rationally.

“Single most flawed candidate ever put forward.” You haven’t taken an American history class, have you?

If history is any guide, they’ll get special privileges and accommodations.

Clinton should have gotten all of the 2012 voters, too. Because a vote isn’t a bespoke expression of one’s innermost beliefs about the ideal shape of the world. It’s a blunt instrument for allocating power among necessarily imperfect options.

Also, the salient consideration isn’t Stein’s vote total nationwide, but…

I like how this metaphor sounds like it should mean something but instead means nothing at all. Neat!

Yes, clearly we disagree with whether this crystal floor thing is worthless bullshit. We have chosen to express that disagreement in an exceedingly roundabout way, but that’s the nut of it. In addition, you’ve attempted to shoehorn in a totally inapposite point about consent. I don’t know why, but you have - and to…

Jesus Christ. If someone takes your money and gives you nothing, you have suffered the injury of losing money and getting nothing in return. Whether you have consented to that or not, that specific injury is the same. If it’s done without consent, as in with burglary, there is the additional injury (injuries,…

Still hurts the same (in one way, if not all ways).

Mostly the way that being burgled hurts: by taking a buttload of your money and giving you nothing in return.

I thought that was already an element of cardio? It is the way I do it, anyway.

Holy shit, this is gold! Class[war]Fit!
