The genius of this pseudo-scandal is that it doesn’t matter whether the daycare is legitimate or not
Are there non-white workers there? Are there brown children?
That shit’s terrifying to their audience

Spent the first three decades of my life in the wilderness as a Red Sox fan, and even as a child, I knew that chanting “Yankees Suck!” was just plain embarrassing
Then the Sox won four titles in the past twenty years, and the Patriots outdid them. We became the Yankees
You know what? It’s more fun

Misleading. The story dates back pre-Trump, to 2022. The jet was chartered for three trips to Guantanamo. Doubtful that ownership had any idea

People confuse patriotism and nationalism. Patriotic skepticism, patriotic dissent are real forces
As for football? There’s the brutality of the spot, but God help me, I’m still a fan
What’s cringe is the rhetorical knots people twist themselves into trying to tear the New England Patriots down

But what if the truth is that Trump kept silent, but didn’t commit statutory rape?
He’s loathsome, he’s a cancer, but the fact that I hate him doesn’t mean I can just shrug about the evidence

And because our society’s awash in guns, we suffer from a staggering rate of suicides by bullet
If we can shift our culture from the romance of the gun, we might save tens of thousands of lives annually, too

Sure, you can kill a human being with a knife or a bat
But if the task is to kill the maximum number of people in the minimum time, at the lowest possible risk to oneself, use a semiautomatic firearm
