That the person who was not authorized to drive a motor vehicle was operating a motor vehicle which ended up killing 2 people. I’d say that’s pretty fucking key to the conversation.

And how is that information irrelevant to the current situation? It’s also senseless that he was deported twice and got back in and (presumably) was employed. It doesn’t make anyone a racist to think that illegal immigrants are a problem.

You missed a key piece of information from the linked article.

No, we don’t. We recognize clickbait. That was terrible.

Iss Gawker Media, or whatever it’s called, sponsored by SNL? There is a lot of SNL content replayed on the various sites.

I am by no means taking ownership side here but... maybe this is the “market” correcting for overvaluing older players in the post-PED era? Maybe Jake Arrieta’s skill set isn’t as valuable as he and the rest of the world thinks? Maybe wages ARE too high and wage growth is out of control?

The problem is the market rate isn’t 5/35. It’s more like 5/135. A 33 year old 4th starter makes nearly 20 million a year these days. Teams don’t want to pay that anymore.

It’s almost like being middling outfielder for 15 years doesn’t qualify someone to head a labor union.

... and make sure to have plenty of fun, because it will be your last junket.

Whenever an article about this pops up here, reading the comment section you’d think that the real victims were the two girls who attacked and repeatedly stabbed their little friend, leaving her for dead. It’s very strange. Thanks for posting the video - it’s a reminder that a real person, a child, lived through the…

“rethink their humanity”

You have absolutely no room to criticize.

It’s an influence-buying junket, plain and simple.

It’s the same reasoning behind calling everyone who doesn’t agree with every single issue a Nazi. We should be able to disagree on whether or not immigration policies need to be changed or not (for instance) without having to resort to claiming one side or the other wants to murder millions of people. It dilutes the…

The violence these victims faced is heartbreaking, their deaths are tragic. I don’t want to take away from that.

Except she could have not said anything. Her choosing to respond is news.

Yeah, we invaded and annexed Mexico in 1836, and we’ve seized and held part of Cuba illegally since 1959 and been using that as a torture camp. Our moral high ground is pretty sketchy there.

The commenter shared a valid point of view. Calling those you disagree with stupid is immature.

I don’t think this country is capable of having a friendly discussion anymore. I don’t think your reply is anything outside the norm, sadly, but I would hope that you could keep defensive replies civil.

Any particular reason other than you hate people to question you?
