A lot of political commentators are speculating that Trump knows this is going to cost him re-election in 2020 and that’s why he’s so insistent on getting the wall built. If he can, it will boost Republican support. If he can’t and his base feels the pinch, they’re staying home.

Whatever you do, you can’t fracture a man’s ego.

I found it funny how many men were willing to stick up for Bill Cosby under the banner of blackness after he basically called them pieces of trash.

Why am I not surprised that someone who bucked at a car and killed a little girl has a grill that looks like it was made out of melted down pennies. What happened to gang members looking out for their communities? All these dudes are just power hungry fake cops.

What types of brick & mortar?

Quite the opposite I think. Malls are dying so a grocery store bringing in that foot traffic would be ideal. It kills the food court concept but there are malls that haven’t shut down purely because super Wal-Marts are an anchor store.

Retail is dying so cannibalizing the foot traffic you do have makes no sense to anyone but analysts who earned their degrees back in the 80's.

Transmisogynoir is depressing in that it’s just adding another layer to issues that black women already have a hard enough time getting people to take seriously. I hope that all of the cis ones who have smoke for days when it comes to white women understand how they can be operators of erasure too. Think it’s BS that…

My opinion on Kamala’s questionable past in regards to criminal justice is this:

California is culturally conservative. It’s not a red state because it enjoys its liberal credibility and what that brings with it but even in progressive hotbeds like LA and SF, you’d swear the monied people are Repubs. It’s the state…

I like it. Depending on who the top billing is, I could see her as VP too. She was easily my favorite underdog candidate of the 2018 midterms. That sort of tenacity and likability is exactly what the Dems need heading into 2020.

This makes it worse. Ugh.

Bernie Sanders has apologized, poorly mind you, but apologized for being him.

Elizabeth Warren shot a “Why I’m Actually Native American” prop piece the same week Native voters in North Dakota lost the right to vote.

Regardless, they’re allies more often than not, so I don’t think they’d appreciate the diametric…

An oasis in a vast comment desert.

Bernie Sanders can be for economic equality and political transparency and also be an old white dude from New England who embodies all the problematic notions of that demographic.

Ugh they’re not even a Gaga stan which makes it more pathetic.

Yeah that’s normal, even for people who aren’t “normal.” Those with uncontrolled mental health issues usually abuse substances to cope. They drink or smoke weed or take sleeping pills. An overdose is likely. Anesthesia is that next level of “I don’t want to be awake” and one has to wonder why he was at that point. I…

They’re showing their ass. If a quote or citation can’t be produced to show that Angela supports anti-Semitism, even casually or mistakenly, then they’re being racist by assuming all black folk are.

I have a feeling it’s gonna rubber band when one of the protesters forgets they’re Jewish first and white second. You…

I would sooner tolerate Splinter and Jezebel’s worst takes than the people on Kotaku. It’s like 4Chan for people who aren’t banned from using electronic devices.

Yeah the double standards are never about protection of the victims but always in defense of the perpetrators.

I can’t say for certain if he’s guilty but I’m also not upset or offended this is coming out. Even if victims recanted and the police had a vendetta and his optics made him susceptible to being pre-judged, something never sat right with me about how close this dude was with kids.

I also can’t say for certain if he…

Cuz they have a morbid curiosity with the death of their people?

Somebody seriously needs to tell him that all this isn’t gonna make his daddy proud of him. And if we’re keeping it 100, that’s a large part of what drives any sort of conservative thinking. This desire to placate and carry on the ways of a dying generation’s dying ideology is out of some duty to bigots who all…
