“If you want to be spoken well of after you are gone, be a decent human being while you are alive.”

Amen. 

Counterpoint: It’s a bad tradition and also shut the fuck up.

Agreed. I also think that rational people can make exceptions when the the person in question left the country and the world a far worse place for having been in it. The damage Ailes has done, from the women he sexually harassed to the millions swayed by his particular brand of bullshit, leaves him with a substatial…

Yup. I assume this person does not watch any Fox News after a black person is killed by a cop.

I saw a good quote on Twitter this morning, which has probably been around forever but which I’ve never seen before:

Correct view: people do this all the time.

For thousands of years, we didn’t reward ghoulish monsters who needlessly made vulnerable people’s lives unquestionably worse with fabulous wealth and power. Since capitalism and modern media has reversed that tradition, we can drop the pretense of respectability when one of these assholes dies on the toilet.

I’m sad only because we won’t get to experience the joy of finding out he died ever again.

Once she was released, the woman went straight to the FBI.

Yup, I was just listening, He delivered the most generic accolades to the work of the Coast Guard and then swiftly pivoted into a “woe is me” speech. And it went on and on. It was pretty fucking disgusting. He made their graduation about himself and his self-induced problems.

Right now he is giving an embarrassing commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy graduation. About 30% of it is about how great he thinks he is and all of his tremendous accomplishments and how he is the most persecuted president in American history. Completely tone deaf.

Of course he could have simply asked who she was and why she was changing the tags on the car. He could have identified himself and said his mother in law hadn’t said anything to him about selling. He could have called his wife and asked her BEFORE holding a stranger at gun point. The sheriff’s bullshit comment of…

Criminals are stupid and the ‘cop’, a term I use loosely here, didn’t believe it was a taxi, so he had no way in his brainless head, to know that. What the ‘cop’ should have considered is that plate swaps will happen after the car is stolen. Even Barney Fife would get this one correct.

Not I, nor anyone needs to have a “discussion” with a person who expresses outright, blatant racist thinking. Anyone who thinks this situation would’ve happened to a white person is wrong, and is also a racist. Anyone who defends and off duty cop pulling his gun on a middle aged black woman in broad daylight; that…

Upon another viewing, you are absolutely right.

He showed off his new Big Wheels and the booboo on his knee, too.

Exactly. Between this and the Muslim ban, no one is going to inform for us against Isis/Al-Quaeda because they wont believe it when they’re offered a green card any more and countries that they do inform to won’t share with us because they dont want their sources torched.

Because we all know that the first thing a car thief does is change the fucking plate in broad daylight.

AND THIS ASSHOLE WAS OFF DUTY. HOW SAD IS HIS LONELY, RACIST LIFE?

McCoig reportedly told her that he had spoken to the deputy, and had said that it was a case of no harm, no foul.
