Yeah, this dude is an idiot, but how exactly are criminal charges the best way to address that? This idiot who was fully cognizant of the thin line that parents must walk when disciplining their kids, realized that his options were limited. He chose what he calculated was a fairly benign way to get his kid to do…

I get that there are way too many people who desperately need a car and have taken the only finance options available, but there are also way too many who buy more car then they need. Everyone on a site centered around cars can understand *why* people want a better car than they can reasonably afford, but that isn’t…

The discussion about this whole thing has been very insightful. It has tackled nearly every aspect of this thing, from false equivalencies, to the way the Trump adminstration and others target people of color - especially black women, to wtf some people think pointing out racism is worse than the racism being pointed…

I’ll concede that you’ve got a good point: Making an objective evaluation of a position requires a certain amount of lucidity and understanding of nuance, amongst other things. Even discussing something like a journalist calling Trump a white supremacist, when there is loads of easily available evidence to support the…

I agree in principle, but history shows us otherwise. The extremist always works to silence those who oppose them. They don’t play by the same rules. We are seeing that now with all the unfounded attacks on Antifa and BLM. It can be argued that people just don’t know enough about Antifa to make an informed decision…

As morally bankrupt a position as that is for ESPN to take, I could almost understand it. I don’t at all approve given what Hill spoke out about, but I could almost understand it, except for one small thing... ESPN is quite transparently profiting from the personality and social network connections of it’s employees.…

“...but here is a person that seemingly has turned the corner and deserves a second chance and Deadspin is ready to lock him up and throw away the key just in case he thinks about a crime in the future...”

There is no way that a company as sophisticated as Facebook can’t create filters to disallow ad purchases based on selected keywords. It just isn’t. Their entire business is built on advertising. They are entirely too proficient at monetizing their platforms to have mistakenly left an opening like this. This is…

I’m not referring to country wide crime stats. I’m well aware that on average Americans are safer than at any point in recent history. That doesn’t change the fact that there are some neighborhoods and cities which are pretty dangerous to live in, and the racist rhetoric we are hearing is louder than it has been in a…

You make good points, but the need that these cwps and guns satisfy - some semblance of protection from an increasingly dangerous world - can’t be ignored. I’m a man, but despite my wife and I having agreed long ago not to have guns in our home, the current climate in the US has me reconsidering. I know the…

There’s got to be something else going on that we don’t see. No way this guy even appears to support something he has been working against since before he took office. Especially for this long, in the face of all the opposition, including a deteriorating base. What is the issue? Is he shook over something that…

Stop it. You know damned well that Goodell can’t suspend Randolph. The NFL hasn’t completed it’s sham investigation yet...

Yes, meant only black Republican senator. It’s just amazing how transparent their efforts to not appear quite so racist are. Token black representation, just happened to elect their first black RNC chair after Obama’s first Presidential win, dog whistles, etc,etc,etc. According to Wikipedia, Scott is only a senator…

Lol. All good guesses, but no. Currently the only black senator, Tim Scott of SC. Already famous for his coo...er, uhm less than flattering comments about black folks while sucking up to white conservatives. He has tried to appear more palatable to people of color lately, by vaguely referencing his own struggles with…

BULLSHIT. I really don’t know where the popular, FOOLISH idea that the rich are so concerned with getting richer, that things like race, gender and ethnic background are beneath their notice came from. It is a REALLY foolish idea. Being obscenely rich gives a racist, freedom from worry of CONSEQUENCES for his racism.…

Ahhhhhhhh, just remembered his name: Tim Scott, Congressman from SC...

Once again, commiting the crime of calling someone a racist - with loads of proof, that everyone has seen - is a worse crime than being that racist being called out, at least in the eyes of white America. Racism is over though... Sexism too... WTF?!?!??!!!!

Yeah, but they won’t. This story gets ‘better’ though... CNN just reported that Trump just had ‘a meeting on race’ with that black conservative Republican asshole, whose name escapes me right now. Willing to bet that’s what he considers an appropriate response to this censure from Congress...

Is this a fucking joke? In a country where people of color are routinely shot dead in the street/park/Walmart/Bodega/ fucking anywhere, and cops are literally given a vacation for having done so, with no actual punishment doled out, we should give a fuck about a note on Trump’s permanent record? Trump has a record…

Overseas for work. Barely had a license, 20 some years ago. Rented a car, rather than taking taxis, for the convenience. Went to a club, met a pretty girl, drank too much.  Made plans to meet the pretty girl later, cause we both had early morning responsibilities. Drove* home alone. Next night, drunk again*, I drove…
