I wrote an op-ed for @GQMagazine on the @Indians name change and the real underlying issues. Please check it out. “Quietly doing away with the name is the easy way out.” Special thank you to GQ’s awesome editor @chrisgayomali and also @JackPMoore. gq.com/story/nick-fra…
“Intense and in-your-face” is not a substitute for “batshit crazy, proudly racist and seditionist” unless your objective is to whitewash and normalize one of the worst human beings to ever hold office in this country, and that is a list with some serious competition.
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, nicknamed MTG, isn’t afraid to share her opinions, no matter how intense and in-your-face they are. She sits down with Lesley Stahl this Sunday on 60 Minutes. 60Minutes.com
You know it’s bad when this guy starts caping for you.
A teenage girl probably kicked his ass in Call of Duty and he’s never recovered.
Women should not be allowed in combat roles in the military. Unpopular opinion, I know.
When people with authoritarian tendencies whine about the free speech of a man whose job is literally to write opinions which carry the force of law, you should assume they are full of shit and acting in bad faith.
"Free speech" equals shutting down free speech. Right, @Stanford, you woke cowards?
If you’re going to insist on police having a warrior culture, perhaps go with less Punisher and more seppuku.
There is still a place for the “warrior” culture in policing. No one calls a social worker to kill a monster.
Honoring military service and limiting it to a few hundred HOF baseball players is a very silly exercise. Gehringer was a great player. Roughly a million Americans were killed or wounded in WWII. Gehringer coached the Naval Pre-Flight School baseball team. Get a grip.
Charles "Charlie" Gehringer is next up in our Military Hall of Fame Military Spotlight Series. Gehringer was known to many as the "mechanical man" & served in the United States Navy. actofvaloraward.org/post/hall-of-f…
Given DOJ’s policy against indicting a sitting president, Pence’s position would mean it is acceptable to commit criminal violations of campaign finance laws so long as you win. The stupidest possible take.
PENCE: "I think the unprecedented indictment of a former President of the United States on a campaign finance issue is an outrage."
No, motherfucker. Autocracies are born when people like you fellate autocrats and gaslight the public.
If presidents think they will be chased into jail under thin pretexts as ex-presidents, they’ll try even harder to never leave office. This is how autocracies are born.
Alternatively, one could simply support political leaders who don’t have a penchant for doing crimes.
Said this beginning with the raid at Mar-A-Lago:
Perhaps Joe West being celebrated as the peak of umpiring success is going to have some consequences.
Homeplate umpire Randy Rosenberg ejects JT Realmuto for this 🤨
DeSantis’ inability to articulate anything close to a coherent position on Ukraine is way worse than simply offering up a misguided policy proposal. The man is wholly devoid of any principle other than believing he should be in power.
The analogy is based on a false comparison of WWII to the current situation. You’re arguing to not put out the fire currently burning because a larger fire *might* erupt at some point in the future.
Actually the US prioritized Germany and Europe over Japan and Asia in WWII because Marshall et al recognized the former were more important - *despite* Pearl Harbor. Our successful WWII strategic logic would counsel focusing on China and Asia - not Russia and Ukraine - today.
Your entire premise about violence increasing during Ramadan is not supported by facts. And you’re also a coward for trying to shield your bigotry behind your experience as a veteran in combat. Racist ✅ Dumbass ✅ Coward ✅ Not a great combo, Tony.
When the best you can offer is some version of “Look, I was trying to be a sex pest and the racism was an accident,” you should put the shovel down and go sit in the corner by yourself.
After an apology to open this morning’s Greg Hill Show — he said he meant to say Mila Kunis — Curtis announced said he has been suspended until next Wednesday.
It’s incredibly funny that Ron DeSantis thought he figured out how to thread the needle in addressing Trump’s potential indictment only for Trump to immediately respond by suggesting DeSantis is a groomer and questioning his sexual orientation.
This desire to “come at them with the strongest case on the biggest issue” is based on a fantasy world where jurisdictions don’t exist and laws are perfectly aligned with morality in every way. If you can’t start from ground truths and reality, you’re part of the problem.
Trump is trying now to organize resistance to the reportedly pending indictment. He and his supporters proved on January 6, 2021, their readiness to use violence to defy the law. If you're coming at them, you want to come at them with the strongest case on the biggest issue. END
On the other hand, expanding the WBC and making Keith Olbermann the general manager of Team Sun sounds appealing.
Buddy, your powers of discernment were stymied by your desire to believe in Chinese cum factories. Navigating complex shifting environments might be a bridge too far for you.
The more accurate interpretation is that her intellectually hollow bullshit encountered the real world and didn’t stand up to even a modicum of pushback.
Yeah, she wrote a book in the subject so I do think that she is capable of answering the question, whatever you think of her argument. Some people freeze up on camera.
Debating the strength of evidence in support of a particular election call is not the same thing as disliking that call because viewers are mad and it makes it more difficult to do a coup. By ignoring that distinction you are choosing to be an obtuse dipshit.
The Arizona call *was* *extremely* premature, though. There's a reason no other network made the same call for *days* afterward.
