  • Like the male, white supremist, Idaho sniper that just entrapped and assassinated two unarmed firefighters? You will not hear about white, male violence much.

    "“I don’t know why he did it, and it’s – it’s shocking to me,” said the former classmate Dieter, who didn’t want his last name used publicly. “It’s something that villains do, plain and simple.”

    Dieter described Wess Roley as someone who was unusually outspoken in the strident ways he would defend his views.

    Extremist views in high school

    Dieter claimed Roley was someone who talked about Nazism, who was “very pro-gun,” who spoke of wanting to join the military, who would often make drawings of bombs and military vehicles and who allegedly got in trouble once for drawing swastikas in a textbook."



  • Maybe LeBron can get him to man up and reach his potential…whatever that is. LeBron has an amazing record of getting the most out of the guys on his teams, hoping I can respect Ayton yet. So far has just been disappointing and he doesn’t really seem bothered by it. Every player can’t be KG intensity but man, for what some of these clowns make they should care a whole lot more.









  • Philly was miserable last year, so PGs numbers reflected that: PG had his most complete season ever 2 years ago and finally showed he was ready to carry and be the man in the playoffs. If embiid hadn’t fallen apart a long with apparently all their team chemistry, they should have been playing and probably beating NY in this year’s conference finals. As it was, they missed that mark by miles.

    Anyway, Kawahi has been status quo for as long as he’s been in LA, if he happens to be playing in a given year it’s a surprise. Take PG over that any day, Kawahi hasn’t added much except years to his game.




  • I don’t know what’s so hard to grasp;

    • immigrants are bad because they steal American jobs
    • immigrants are good because exploitative industries can’t run without desperate, no-option workers
    • immigrants are bad because they’re free loaders
    • immigrants are good because they pay far more tax than they collect in benefits, illegal or legal
    • immigrants are bad because they keep American wages down
    • immigrants are good because they keep tech wages down so we should expand the visa programs tech companies lobbied for

    As long as you know to which audience he’s speaking, corporate funders or everyone else, he’s been completely consistent.


  • What about states? Ever had to call unemployment? Lucky enough to be in a US state with paid leave? They are websites that make 1998 1.0 look decent. Their phone trees just dump you when you call them and say they are overloaded. No email, no ticket support online. So no web, phone or email support for those you are beholden to.

    States aren’t trying to turn a profit, what is the incentive to have unemployment and paid leave broken in states that have passed them as law?odt of the states with paid leave tout them and promote how great they are but make the process a gauntlet of cirizen-hating obstacles.

    Looking at you CA, OR and WA.

    Kawahi such an albatross, Clips completely hamstrung with his contract eating up enormous space when he can’t be counted on to be healthy. Ever. They were fools for letting George go over Kawahi.

    2-year deal is smart for clips with Harden; he showed some tread still left on his tires last season but in another 2 years he might finally agree to 6th man money and give clips flexibility to move on a new marquee player.
