I’m sure this is the first time he’s ever felt bad about using this word - but certainly not the first time he’s used it, just the first time he’s been caught.

This has to be the most inane comment...

I swear to god this is the only WIP-related post I’ll ever star

It’s all coming unravelled now, isn’t it?

And here’s Merril Reese’s call, which is better in every way.

Yup, they dug themselves into this hole by pretending that NFL football has some sort of legitimate link to the military, which it does not.

The clip of them all running toward him with huge smiles on their faces is actually pretty sweet.

The first amendment, as many people on the left have pointed out, only insures you are not arrested for your speech. It doesn’t prevent people from calling you an asshole, or shield you from the consequences of that speech. 

I assume you mean Macadoo. I think he wore pajamas to the game. Pretty disrespectful to the Flag if you ask me.

Ballsy would have been not being a Trump megadonor in the first place. Locking arms now that he has ensured he doesn’t have to worry about his tax rate going up is not really much of a sacrifice.

I’m assuming the average Republican Twitter-bot just has a thousand Mad-Lib tweets pre-written like “This (bad thing) is happening because Hillary Clinton conspired to (preposterous chain of events) in response to (conservative figure’s) courageous (action that is unremarkable outside/fabricated by right-wing blogs).”

“because of many things that have been reported by the media.”

Like...direct quotes? Like those “many things”?

Is she related to Colonel Sanders? Cause she knows how to cook up half baked shit in a bucket and serve it to the American people.
