I mean, it may be that Bannon’s one of the few true believers in alt-right white nationalism and that’s what blinded him, but I’d always figured him for being cynical enough to have known exactly the sort of people he was rallying to his base.

Eh, I think there’s a bit more than knowledge being conveyed there.

I mean, maybe, but it would seem that a call to “Divest from Lena Dunham” fundamentally makes the issue not about trying to hold Dunham to account for her failures.

You mix it in with other defenses and be cognizant of down and distance. Over-reliance on it makes it too easy to run plays designed to get receivers out of jam and into the weak spots of a Cover-2.

The problem with social media and society in 2018 is that it’s much easier for us to sit around speculating about what the content of her conversation with Lena Dunham was and why she ultimately chose to retract her comment than maybe is really healthy for us as a society.

It’s adorable to say that “working class people didn’t support Trump” in trying to imply that it’s not reasonable to think the Barr’s wouldn’t be Trump supporters. Your link, to be blunt, does a piss poor job of adding race into the equation when calculating Trump’s supporting among uneducated and/or working class…

I was shocked by how badly Bannon miscalculated how his response would be perceived by the alt-right. I would have figured he would realize that Trump will remain their darling so long as he continues to be a blustering white nationalist. 

Because it’s not 2002 or Madden.

Just wait until you inevitably lose a few pounds. Between that and the extra morning boost, it’s really eye opening how much of a baseline effect being a ... robust ... drinker has on your overall level of energy and awareness.

No baby or oven?

Is it ever possible for the royals to make a public appearance without it looking like a publicity stunt?

Ohhhh, that does sound tasty. Might have to give it a whirl. The great thing about living in Texas is that grilling season is typically 10 months out of the year.

Agreed.

The only thing I care about with respect to who or what people are fans of is whether or not they demonstrate a little basic self-awareness about it.

I read a bit more of the dissent. I know criminal law isn’t your specialty, but if you’re going to hang around here, you’re going to get questions that are a bit outside of your wheelhouse, so deal with it.

It’s a bit more involved than that. Thomas wrote the dissent, and while acknowledging the horribly racist affidavit, boiled it down to a number of different reasons.

horrifyingly uninformed and unconcerned legal representation

I have an in-law who’s a vegetarian. They’re not the strictest about it, so if we have them over, they’re coll with veggies being thrown on the grill alongside of our meats.

If one out of the hundreds of guys who ultimately joined the anthem protest against the murder of unarmed black kids was blackballed in the jingoistic league of the NFL, then quantify the risk that a Luke fucking Kuechly has if he just, you know, doesn’t slobber all over Jerry Richardson’s dick there? Even if he just…

Your co-workers don’t think you’re weird because you don’t want them to their butts on your desk.
