This is also a typical abuser world upside-down mindfuck bullshit. Somebody behaves so erratically horrible all the time that you start feeling grateful whenever they for once act like a normal human being. Don’t fall for it, Anybody Who Will Listen.

Jeah!

There’s next to no chance someone making 30K could possibly scrape together 1500 on short notice without outside assistance, you know that, right?

“Um...sort of.”

Can someone explain to me how that’s an illegal hit? He blocked him with his shoulder into the guys abdomen, unless I’m not seeing it right.

That’s a little offensive.

do these guys get a paycheck or is everything under the table?

For a Jaguars QB, that was a very average pass. And in fairness, it would’ve been a good pass if he’d just thrown it about 10 yards farther. Or if any other person on planet Earth had thrown it. So, given all that, I’d say the Jags have their opening day quarterback.

That man is only 25 years old.

Whitlock is just jealous because Kaepernick can take a knee and then get back up again without going all the way to the ground first.

This is what a lot of the ‘bureaucrats are dumb, I work in business and would do better!’ replies seem to miss. The engineer who gets hired away from GE to work for the NHTSB in a mid-level position will work his way up to a supervisory role, learning about the ins and outs of government along the way.

Robert E. Lee was as much of an enemy to the United States as Osama bin Laden, except Lee killed more Americans.

Ah yes, football: the great unifier. Why, if it weren’t for football the fine folks from Boston and Indianapolis would be bitter enemies and everyone would hate Dallas. God blessed the United States with many things but chief amongst them is football and we are all better for it.

The founders were pieces of shit, pretty much without exception, and I have no problem with tearing down every likeness of them ever assembled. But it does not follow that because Confederate statues are coming down, all statues must come down. Even a very small child knows better than that.

I forget, which of the men on Mount Rushmore created a separate country and fought a war against the United States government?

It’s absolutely, undeniably a false equivalency to equate wealthy people who owned slaves in a society where every wealthy person owned slaves to people who actively chose to attempt to rebel against their country’s government and form their own government for the specific and sole purpose of continuing the right to…

Thank you. No one seems to understand that career policy and public administration professionals have specific skills and, like, relevant experience. Are there people who are incompetent? Of course — as there are in every profession.
