They literally only care about themselves. They want the title and the prestige and the lobbying money that comes with being a member of Congress. They never cared about helping the country.

Seems perfectly reasonable in Trump’s America that “good” Christians get mad at at another Christian for actually being a Good Christian.

Another example of church people being good Christians, bless their hateful little shriveled up hearts.

I’m Rob Lee and I haven’t left the church. Y’all haven’t gotten rid of me yet.

I’m not here to police the police. The police need to do that if they’re going to regain any kind of trust by me or the public.

This whole situation was totally unnecessary if that dope just did his job. Like he was supposed to. The nurse was entirely in the right.

Just my opinion but the police in the US are very militarized, in fact a lot of them have background from the military so I feel that makes an impact. Also it turns into a very much us vs. them mentality...America is a violent country and we see it through cops. I will admit there are parts of this country where I…

Because cops here believe they exist to protect each other instead of serving the public. It’s them against us so regardless of our innocence, we’re all suspects until we prove otherwise.

Why are US police so violent towards everybody? Are they afraid? Insecure? Misogynists? Wannabe-army? What’s wrong with them? The police in the UK would never handle a sober, non-aggressive, non-violent suspect in this manner, let alone another member of an emergency service. In the UK this would be big news, and…

Once Payne and his superior who pushed him are fired and unable to find another job, then I’ll believe in that “goodness of society”.

Some days I’m just not sure how to continue living life while all this is going on. It feels irresponsible to go to work, have dinner with friends, sleep in on Saturdays. Is this what it was like to live in Germany in the 30s? I give money and I give time, but I feel like an asshole for keeping up any semblance of…

I have actually recommended this to women when I’ve been mentoring at hackathons and such. It works. So does using your initials instead of a gendered name. I miss the days when nobody knew who raincoaster was in real life and people treated me with respect by default. You really REALLY feel the difference when they…

Geese are curious and scary smart. Mine would unscrew the little covers on my tire valves and when I went to put air in my tires I was always like, “where are all my damn valve covers??!!”

They are almost as bad as geese. Fun fact: Geese are one of the few birds that remember their dinosaur roots, and are constantly trying to rise back up and take their rightful place as ruler of the earth.

I think it’s fair to say that Phil Stamper deserves at least equal billing for ‘incredible sleuthing’ along with Jeremy West. Pajiba used his Twitter investigation for more than half of their article.

Fuck this company. They are probably going to get sued anyways, so maybe actually take responsibility for the carelessness and issues a real apology to the people they hurt.

It’s a matter of definition. By “experience it” he means he sat in a hotel room and read batshit stories on fringe web sites.

You are one hundred percent right. Sports culture in this country is disturbed. And the toleration of bodily injury and pain is probably the worst thing about it. Throughout high school, college and grad school I’ve watched star athletes be praised for doing the exact same thing: injuring themselves and then taking on…

This is sports culture in America. Sports teams get amazing funding as teachers are struggling to keep pencils in their classrooms, many of our colleges rank sports as more important than classes, sports are being pushed onto kids younger and younger, and they’re only getting more extreme. And I don’t mean like fun,…

Per the late and unlamented Steve Bannon, the real goal of this transgender ban is strictly political; he wants to use this as a wedge issue to force Democrats to take on the (in his view) politically toxic defense of transgender soldiers’ right to serve.
