where’s the America Roadster?

If you balance the pros and cons of them speaking out, they’re better off not saying anything. If they addressed the issue, whatever they said (even if well-intentioned) would run the risk be considered insufficient, “mansplaining” or trying to steal the spotlight from the women (whose night it clearly was), or…

This really is a no-win situation for the Trump Administration. The vehement denial of almost everything in the book, without offering any evidence in support or different narratives, just makes it all look more true. And as for the attacks on Wolff—yes, he had a reputation for misquoting people (or fabricating…

It seems like this will be intended to be used as a tool to stoke liberal outrage, although it will likely alienate many republicans, especially the libertarian wing. I’m also surprised because I’m sure Trump has many friends (and even moreso Ivanka and Kush) that have investments in this burgeoning industry, and it…

Totally agree, but the goal of the restaurant business (or at least the part that considers itself part of the “hospitality industry”) generally is never telling a customer “no”. The best kids (and the parents that raised them) just order off of the regular menu (and they actually order for themselves, which is…

I mean, this shouldn’t be so shocking, and it’s probably somewhat true that the majority of men in Hollywood aren’t sexual predators. But Matt Damon fails to understand the same thing that every other member of a dominant group fails to understand (although the principle applies almost universally to all groups). …

The best way to address many of these issues is not with individual breeders or state laws, but with federal laws and/or the organizations that set breed standards by which dogs are judged at dog shows. European regulations have changed over the years to eliminate more of these practices, such as the cropping/docking…

And, even if judges were only limited to one term (to address conflicts of interest related to reappointment), then there would be the issue of judgeships becoming more of a steppingstone to other jobs, and might influence rulings so that judges can get a private-sector job when they leave the bench.

Then of course the flip side of this issue is that meat becomes more expensive and less affordable to those with lower incomes (hearkening back to the time when only rich people could afford to eat meat regularly, unless you had room for a chicken coop)t, many of whom don’t have easy access to supermarkets and places…

Sometimes it’s not as much about the tip they’ll get on the additional spend, but having the highest check average, which typically entitles a server to their pick of the best shifts. However, the real check average builders are always bottled water and alcoholic beverages—since they don’t displace other spend…

I can understand those tactical considerations, but at the same time, it seems like the chances of Shaver making it out of this encounter alive were pretty slim. Shaver was obviously frightened, likely due to the assault rifle pointed at him and the frequent threats that he was likely to get shot, and so he may not…

So is she going to at least allege these individuals committed crimes that would justify their arrest, prosecution and incarceration? Or just generally advocating that we start locking up people for political reasons without any legal justification?  

This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen. I don’t understand why he was asked to crawl to the officer rather than being told to remain in place and cuffed/secured while face down. It almost seems like the officer prolonged the interaction and escalated the situation rather than swiftly bringing the…

It’s easy if you just don’t think about it that much and just do it. But for most people, especially those who have gotten that far in life, the impulse that drives you to try to understand things before making decisions isn’t easily turned off.

This is all just more red meat for that certain kind of rich American (and no, not just Jewish ones) that “loves Israel” (and the carried-interest loophole), or at least their romanticized version of it: the Adelson-Netanyahu ideal of Israel. Many of these people live in NY and are registered Democrats who make up…

Cake baking in and of itself isn’t an expression of free speech—it’s a trade, not art. However, it could be a violation of the 1st amendment to force cake bakers, t-shirt makers, graphic designers and other people who practice creative trades producing work for hire (as opposed to artists who make art) to produce…

I feel like this is one of those cases that I wish never came before SCOTUS, since no matter how the court rules it’s probably going to be less than ideal. Phillips seems to be genuine in his beliefs (he won’t do custom cakes for Halloween or divorce parties either—although he’ll sell anyone a ready-made cake), and…

I would just like to point out that there are other avenues available for victims to seek recourse (aside from cases where the objectionable conduct is also a crime), other than filing or threatening to file a lawsuit, receiving a settlement payment, and signing an NDA. I have no idea whether or not most victims know…

It’s not entirely untrue that voting for a third party candidate is throwing your vote away—at least in national races where it’s near impossible to compete without the party’s infrastructure, endorsements and fundraising abilities. It’s entirely a self-fulfilling prophecy, but there only 2 candidates with a real…

And, with the Chicago example—sure, Chicago has some pretty tough gun laws. But Indiana doesn’t, and there’s nothing stopping someone from filling their trunk up with guns in Indiana and bringing them back to Chicago.
