Personally, I don’t think we (speaking as a white person) have any right to question the use of the word by black people. We haven’t earned that right. We need to stay the hell out of it. It’s not about us.

It’s not really so clear cut, since the amount of revenue attributed to the Royals is a small part of (and inextricably intermixed with) the overall UK tourism market.

Jesus wanted him for a moonbeam.

That's why the Fairness Doctrine needs to come back, before these cesspits metastasize into a form that makes Fox News look like Mother Jones.

Yeah, I've got relatives whose houses are little royalist shrines, with royal wedding plates, Coronation teaspoons, and photos of Lizzie and Phil. They tend to be pretty old.

Well, I’m well over 50, and I definitely don’t care. We were screaming “Parasite!” at the sundry royals who toured our college back in the early 80s, so the sentiment isn’t new.

“Including this one.”

Presumably the pardon can be made to include the offering of a bribe for the pardon?

For many of these people, inflicting misery on others is the entire point.

And a ban on accrued interest, late charges, bank charges, “handling” charges, and all the other “fees” lenders love to pile onto any mortgage or loan that starts to look shaky. It’s not going to be much help if half the country has to declare bankruptcy a year from now.

“Heaven” and “Hell” are conveniently just beyond what science can measure.

Hence the delightfully evocative term “Horizontal Christians.” Praying sideways instead of upwards.

Beautiful.

Oh, look: another “free thinker,” whose superior intellect enables him to see the reality behind the lies the rest of the “sheeple” believe. What an iconoclast! What a rebel! Show us the true path, Great One!

Yep. They’ve laid tripmines all across the Federal breaucracy, and have an “outraged” narrative ready to roll for each time one gets set off.

Trump wants to do as much damage as possible to the country that rejected him. He’s the stalker ex who slashes your tires and sends your nudes to your boss. The only way he can process pain is to inflict greater pain on others.
