The difference is, most leaders in industry or government do not go around telling people how smart they supposedly are. They let their deeds do the talking. Trump, on the other hand, couldn't even manage to make money in the casino industry in a state where it was completely legal. There are no deeds to point to,

We have a 2010 Corolla. Every time I get in it, I bump my ass on the B pillar and think how much better that car would be as a two-door. It's not such a bad car once I'm in it.

I kind of assume that a plurality of Hollywood is associated with Scientology, if only as a sort of "union card" that helps them get ahead. 

And a clear majority of Americans. 

This, pretty much. Those with means sent their kids to Catholic school, or they incorporated themselves and started their own school. Or they moved to an adjacent county. Whatever they had to do.

Or smoking a doobie?

They didn't need VAR. They were just kind of required to consult them because it was such a high stakes game. I can imagine what would have happened if the ref just called the penalty and left it at that.

Uh yeah, in soccer, 2-0 is a rout. The ball rarely landed in USA's end of the pitch. Most of the game, Netherlands didn't get close enough to make our goalie sweat.

USWNT 1, trumptards 0. Checkmate. 

It represents our declaration of independence from King George III of England, for reasons outlined in detail in said declaration, and our subsequent defense of same. The war for independence had nothing at all to do with slavery, of which the British were equally happy to avail themselves.

Please. I grew up in the 1970s. We had the best TV shows, including the best cartoons and the best version of Saturday Night Live, the best rock music, and the best movies. I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything that came after.

They should unchop it and sell it as a wagon.

I must have lived in the wrong neighborhoods, because I rarely saw a Caddy truck in the wild. Lincolns, either. A ten year old one doing actual truck things, sure, but not a shiny new one doing Caddy things.

Gee whizz, Joe. All you had to do was ask Sen. Harris what ungodly hour she had to get up in the morning to get bused across town. Sure, whites hated it because it brought the ghetto to their back yard, but blacks hated it because, unlike their white counterparts, they got bused more than half their K-12 careers.

So what do you do when you really don’t have any more long term goals other than retirement? Surely you can’t tell your boss this. “Uh, I plan to call it a career on the next couple of years, so I left that blank." 

Well, it costs less to cool our new home in San Antonio than it did to keep our old home near Utica, New York, somewhat warm in the winter, so there’s that. We’re not burning 800+ gallons of heating oil at $3/gal. Someone else is.

What I am trying to say is that we should not allow the fucking neonazis to redefine our national symbols. Colin Kaepernick should know better, and so should Nike.

Actually, no. Before it was coopted by hate groups, it was as revered as the current flag. This should not stand.

The Ross flag has always been unique to the 4th of July holiday. Flying it should never, ever be considered inappropriate.

You mean the same nation in which you’re living right now? Unlike the Confederate battle flag, the Betsy Ross flag was actually a symbol of the USA. It should never be considered to be anything less, even if a scraggly collection of half-wits decided to bring one to a hate rally.
