  1. These assholes are almost always the guys born on third base who've always gotten away with all kinds of shit because of daddy's money and power. Then they eventually go a bridge too far. Being in Trump's orbit probably reinforced that mindset bigly.
  2. Gaslighting is one of the very few things they are sorta good at. The others are ratfucking, obstruction, and voter suppression.
  3. I believe they take an extremely dim view of even conspiring to do such a thing.
  4. What's concerning though is that Trump stumbled onto a playbook for how to easily manipulate and rile up 40% of the country. And the secret's out that you can bring the government to the brink of collapse by, inter alia, installing a puppet AG, ignoring all norms, and shamelessly weaponizing your cult, twitter, and Fox News to the maximum. Now that playbook, the cult, and the GQP are just waiting to be exploited by the Uberdrumpf. And the rednecks were certainly not the most effective paramilitary in this coup attempt, but maybe they've learned some things too.
  5. Check out his wiki. This loser has been begging for disbarment for decades.
  6. Imagine being an old bastard like Larry and spending your precious little time left on nonsense like this. Actually it's apparent from his wiki page that he's wasted most of his life on similarly pointless bullshit. What an embarrassment. And it's a total joke that he hasn't been disbarred.
  7. I have to say again that despite having a terribly low opinion of the average American, I had no idea such a large swath of our country would be so easily enchanted/cowed by a blatantly moronic figure and vacuous movement. It's terrifying to imagine what would have happened if Trump's despotic designs were matched by anything approaching competence and shrewdness. Or what will happen when the next demagogue is so equipped.
  8. The right is all id; they have no ego or superego. They don't feel embarrassment or shame.
  9. Lolz. This clown should never been called on again.
  10. Why do you doubt it's the dumbest in history? I can't even imagine what dumber than this looks like
  11. Who could have possibly foreseen this?
  12. If they unbundled, I highly doubt the overall price would go up for me. What's the absolute maximum ESPN could expect to get enough people to pay per month for all their channels...$25? I'd just need that and FS1 and maybe CNN. I'd guess I could get those for under $75. Anyway, how do you figure QVC is subsidizing my cable? I'm wondering whether you meant home shopping viewers, as just a random example, or is there something I don't know about home shopping channels (very likely)?
  13. This passing would really piss me off.
  14. True. Perhaps this was just the most efficient interview ever.
  15. What we really need is a-la-carte cable TV. It sickens me that I'm helping subsidize fucks like Fox News every month by paying my youtube TV bill.
  16. Da fuck? 15-20 minutes for a head coaching job at Texas? I'm thinking this was more like a phone screen you go through with a recruiter before you interview with the manager.
  17. Merely acknowledging this country's serious problems doesn't mean one should leave. There's some kind of fallacy at work in your logic here.
  18. I wonder what percentage of seedy massage parlor workers are Asian? I suspect it's pretty high. I'm not saying I don't believe race was a motive. I'm just saying that if for some reason you wanted to kill people in that occupation, your victims are probably going to be mostly Asian women. It also seems to me that people who commit hate crime murders usually aren't shy about admitting that motive.
  19. I didn't argue that nobody should be offended by it, and I've already said that's what the humor came from and the only reason I ever referenced it. I was only arguing about your contention that anyone who references it is trying to bully and make Asians feel inferior. I reject that, but I accept that it's offensive and won't be saying it again.
  20. I'm not doubling down. I'm not going to reference the prank again. What I came back and started debating was @Dahobbsassertion that anyone making such a joke necessarily believes Asians are inferior and trying to bully them. That's horseshit in my opinion.
  21. I'm not sure why whether it's funny or not matters in this discussion. I'm not defending its value as comedy. But its use largely stems from a local news prank years ago, referenced upthread. As an aside, a hookup of mine once jokingly introduced herself as Ivanna Suckuoff when I came over to get a beej. In retrospect I guess this wasn't just a dumb joke, what she was really saying is that Russians are an inferior people.
  22. Fair enough. Agree to disagree, though.
  23. I'm not sure why you assume the intent is to belittle, though. I know I sure as hell wouldn't feel remotely belittled if I heard a Chinese person make such a comment. I think you're assuming the intent is to mock the way Asian names sound. But that's not necessarily the case.
  24. How the hell does it matter why they would be doing it? People make name puns. Would it be racist of the Chinese in my hypothetical?
