As someone that abhors everything that Penn State football represents, I’m glad that this story is getting coverage. They keep convincing young men to come up there and play in front of their crowd of 100,000, knowing full well that there are roughly 75,000 Dave Petersens out there in the crowd tsking about…

Which is funny because he also works for 30 incredibly rich people with fuck you money that SHOULD be able to live with the fact that their billions are sufficient to live off of without whoring themselves out and submitting to a totalitarian regime.

I don’t care about your politics.  +1 for a Harold Miner reference.

Look, I get that you can’t bail on jury duty. Seems like an innocent enough mistake where he made the boneheaded decision to not check in. Give the man a bunch of community service and let the charges go away. Why is this hard?

LOL.  My mind went right to the same place.

I mean, I’d be infuriated if I was slapped and knocked down with my little toddler. Particularly if they hurt my kid.

This accusation is just bizarre. How did you arrive at me desiring to be rid of gross poors and minorities? I hope that those communities ultimately benefit from the changes that Pete tried to institute in his city. Vacant homes bring crime, people in these communities benefit from less crime. It seems reasonable that…

When people say “gaslighting”, I usually put on a serious face and nod solemnly to act like I understand what they’re talking about.

I think that’s a little oversimplification. We don’t churn out thousands of Rhodes Scholars. I get and acknowledge that the path of Harvard / Military / Consulting etc is the standard path to public office, but it’s still an accomplished path that seemingly, in this case, was earned by a rather gifted person as…

LOL at mediocrity.  Nothing about Pete is mediocre, except that his politics aren’t as EXXXTREME! as you’d like them to be.

All these people are terrified of a literal child because she’s got the focus and message discipline to call out their sniveling asses in stark terms and not get distracted by any of the bad-faith hand-wringing that follows.

I’ve heard of no less than three instances in the past couple of years of people my wife knows that this has happened to. They show up at the hospital, they say that something is wrong/something is happening to them with the baby, and the nurses don’t believe them. They chalk it up to hysterics and the women get sent…

Nice pull.  

Holy shit. On one hand, I’m sorry to hear that. On the other, you have people voluntarily getting out of your way when you’re carrying groceries or pushing their children, who always impede progress, out of your way.

I can shake my head at this woman while still being sad that we squandered our momentary unity, right?

I mean, even they had their moments.  Bush was huge on charity to Africa to combat the AIDS epidemic.  

Yes Poland, congrats on (checks notes) being invaded by Hitler 80 years ago. Uh, back to the links.
