  1. Only black people get welfare. When white people use government programs it's well-deserved and earned benefits.
  2. There are actually a ton of real, respectable journalists who would never do this. You don't give a source control over what you are writing; that's PR, not journalism. It's no surprise that Schefter would do this, nor that a hack like Rovell finds no problem with this.
  3. There's not a Republican out there who isn't a grifter.
  4. I still can't get over what fucking scumbag behavior this is. And I'm sure the NFL will let Gruden take all the heat, while nothing will happen to Washington.
  5. Blue states should remember this for when President DeSantis makes it illegal to teach a child to read.
  6. If he is resigning now there must be way worse stuff in emails yet to surface.
  7. The Chiefs also being at 2-3 does make me feel slightly less like shit. Misery loves company.
  8. People like Washington and Jefferson were also important to the founding and development of America. We can recognize their importance while also recognizing their flaws. The deification of the Founders by Republicans is just creepy. Wyman's take on Columbus is correct: Christopher Columbus And The Replacement-Level Historical Figure | Defector DEFECTOR.COM It’s easy to tell Columbus’s story as one of a determined innovator, triumphing over the backwardness and ignorance of medieval Europe to usher in a new era of global exploration, trade, colonization, and conquest through sheer grit and clarity of vision. That is all absolute nonsense, but it is a very easy story to tell. That he is just a replacement-level guy. He isn't really worth our time. He is the Trent Dilfer of history. Edit: I missed that @SuperSpreader posted the money-shot from this piece.
  9. Patrick Wyman's takedown really is the ultimate piece on Columbus. Also, there is no problem with judging historical figures by our own standards. We decide who we want to honor and who we don't. There is no problem with applying our standards.
  10. If Russ is really hurt, that's obviously bad. But the team is going nowhere until the defense gets fixed.
