‘Regressive Left’ is the most non-sensical oxymoron I’ve ever heard.

You’re way discounting American nationalism at home - you’re seeing quite the resurgence in 2016. And nobody cares if you go out and buy American.

You will find quite a lot of US cars in Europe . Ford, Opel and Chevrolet sell reasonably well. It may not be the same models as in the US, but Ford and GM do have a presence on the continent.

Nationalism is fine. What’s wrong with that? Mostly, the reality of modern America is that “American” goods are made of parts from somewhere else, people who claim to be nationalists are in fact racist xenophobes who spend all their time worrying about brown skinned others, and these so-called “nationalists” propose…

I cannot fault the Japanese for not buying US cars. They are often too big, especially pickups or SUVS or the quality is just not up to Japanese standards. I would take a Japanese made car over a US-made car any day. The exception might be Cadillac, but then again why not buy a Lexus. But then again I think the same…

This was so wrong. So very very wrong. These people kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a 14 yr old child based on a lie from a self-absorbed 21-yr old young white woman who had more than enough reason to know because of “how things were” exactly how things would go if she lied. And then she tries to cop that this case…

I have to say, I haven’t slept in 7 days, I honestly feel like evil has won. I always knew there were people with whom I disagreed, but I operated under the assumption that we had some common base of humanity.

Yeah, Diana is doing awesome work on these stories, and they’re rarely mentioned anywhere else.

You would think so. I mean, you would think that Penn State and Baylor would someone in a position of power either in football, academia, or Washington to say that it’s time to rethink the entire enterprise. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The arguments about trying to avoid making the players employees are absurd. They’re already employees. They’re just unpaid for the work that generates millions for the school. Separately, Baylor is and forever will be “hush hush” about this shit because they’re a private school that believes its every whim is god’s…

I went to Baylor. My wife went to Baylor. Our kids won’t be Bears.

The implication of the suit and of John Olerud’s Helmet’s comment is that the tolerance for rape - by the department and by the players - is in part an outgrowth of a broader tolerance for using Baylor’s female students as a literal commodity. Instead of a signing bonus, we’ll throw you a recruiting party where drinks…

Sometimes, though their crimes are despicable, you really have to be thankful for stupid criminals. This is one of those times. Had Baylor just cleaned it’s act up and GENUINELY Mea Culpaed, this may not have ever come to light. I don’t wish the suffering that Baylor’s failure to do right by the victims and student…

This should be more than just a sports story.

I don’t want to diminish the pressing need for Baylor and everyone associated with the Football program or university administration to be set on fire but as awful as all this sounds it does sound like the result of what happens when you create a black market economy for something incredibly valuable.

I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that no matter how much I detest this woman, I haven’t lied and gotten her lynched by an angry mob, and that fact alone guarantees that I’m not “exactly equal” to her lying-ass hateful self.

“YOU ARE EXACTLY EQUAL TO THAT UNREPENTANT WHITE MANIFESTATION OF HATRED”

Oh really?

It amazes me.

Right. White feelings are more important than black facts.

Don’t forget that he’s been so busy that he can’t be bothered with providing aid to Georgia, Alabama or Florida in the aftermath of a tornado. But definitely, allocate all resources into determining that his dick, I mean inauguration measures up to the women’s march and Obama’s inauguration.
