This also extends to Covid policy. Most of the Covid policy we have seen doesn't "keep us safe". It's bullshit. It's lawyers and doctors that have no concept of opportunity costs or data and only want to increase power, limit downside risk.

The demand for white racist violence far exceeds the supply, so all we get is cheap, shabby knockoffs of the real thing.

I wonder if it was made in China and can it get stalled in a container at the Long Beach port?

Spot on. Well written truth.

Sad and disgusting.

Dave's riff hilarious! Yes, if you believed such an idiotic story from jussie, and if you didn't pause to actually think before jumping on the band wagon, you are not just stupid, but really stupid. Desperately stupid. Given the wholesale pile on of those in power -- hook, like and sinker, mind you -- it's just scary.

Victimhood must be very addicting. The pavlovian response is real and entrenched now. Ring the racist bell and click-whirr, everyone falls in line.

And a quick check on msnbc hee haw, shows a front-page piece on how the verdict will forever set back future victims of hate crimes, as now they carry an even heavier burden of suspicion.

Yep, the guilty verdict is the right's new crowning jewel as the author indicates. Hey, it's not the right's fault that the guy was fake. Forever the victim card. It's never-ending hate, hate, hate, even when most of the hate needs to be made up these days.

You are now free to roam Chicago in maga hats and do your dirty work.

In effect, Jussie made a substantial in-kind contribution to the Democratic Party.

You are 100% correct. It has become so bad that I need to detox from the news.
