Sanders is stuck in the racial politics of another era.  He was a good guy in the context of that era of the 1960's.  He is too old to change.  He stopped saying “The blacks,” and that may be about all he can manage.  I remember that during the 2016 campaign, Trump felt he was closest to being simpatico with Bernie. …

The stunt appears to be intended to evoke a certain sexual perversion involving a woman, peanut butter and dogs.

Hateful news is a sign of the times.  Hateful news sells, because there are a couple of generations of every political stripe that are having difficulty achieving the American dream.  Hateful people love hateful news.

Ah, the “Smirk.” Sandmann is a teenager and that is actually not unusual.   Also, not everyone has a nice smile. Some people are ugly and don’t have endearing smiles.  Sandmann looks like the bones of his face have been overgrowing, a bit, possibly contributing to his smile being less than endearing.  

I am not TomatoFace!  But, you can call me Umami.

The high speed nature of the project isn’t what costs so much.  Really, it is about tort law, and eminent domain, and real estate prices, and NIMBY, prevailing wage laws, Unions...   It would be just as difficult to build a railroad out of the age of steam.

In 2019 California, proponents are killing high speed rail.  California is a one party State.

There is no indication that Sandmann wore blackface, ever. He stood there and smiled when Phillips approached him, aggressively, and banged a drum in his face whilst singing.  That’s it.

Sandmann is a serious threat to news outlets all over America, because most of them reported that he did things, that video clearly refutes. Most of them reported that he approached Phillips and got in Phillips face, but the reverse is true. And then instead of retractions, corrections that cast aspersions on…

That would justify reporting that suggests the school is racist, or reporting that everyone wearing a MAGA hat is racist.  But, does it have anything to do with the merits of Sandmann’s libel case?  Not much.  

The girls in the video were offended by a rape joke shouted by another boy, not Sandmann. That boy who attended the anti-abortion rally, apparently is not a Covington student:

The blackface incident that was revealed at Sandmann’s school took place in 2012, probably years before the Seventeen year old was a student, there.

What California, and the Feds really need to do is honestly consider why it is that America can’t build a high speed rail system like other countries can do.  I am not an advocate of rail solutions, but I do perceive that the way America does infrastructure makes projects so expensive that large projects routinely…

Better that they should lay off a couple hundred journalists than hire a Republican hack, like that. Were the several former Obama officials CNN hired, or Clinton people CNN employed, even consulted?

At least two Justices have seen their reputations assassinated by political opponents, and that might create some sympathy on the court for bolstering libel laws to protect public figures.  I don’t think it fair to ignore the contribution the press has made to creating a court sympathetic to these cases.

It is less bad to glamourize suicide than to glamourize racist murder. For these options, I wouldn’t use the word “Better,”

“Removal of the item from the collection and all stores.” So, it went further. Nooses were actually sent to stores.  Is it giving Burberry benefit of the doubt to attribute the company’s motive to marketing suicide and not Racism and intimidation?  Suppose a child wore this noose to school, worn as in the photo:  If…

We Republicans find a crazy old fart more relatable.

“Not through the stale apology of Nick Sandmann.” 

The biggest tippers at the coat check are the involuntary ones who forget a phone or wallet in their coats.
