"Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Gordie Howe would like a word [with Matt Walsh]."

And so would Manon Rhéaume as well

Please keep track of Steven Miller and his wife who rivals him in her hate energy. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/08/stephen-miller-and-his-wife-found-love-in-a-hateful-place

He will be doing this for a lifetime.

It's disappointing to see Sykes/Bulwark offering this headline: "Surprise! 'Trump Doral event has speakers who espouse anti-Semitic views, far-right conspiracies.'” The linked article says explicitly the opposite. It says that the event is part of a national tour, and that two clear anti-Semites (including one shown praising Hitler) spoke and perhaps will speak at other events on this same tour, but that those two will not speak at the event at the Trump property. That is still grounds for condemnation. But the statement here seems to be simply false.

So many deplorables, so hard to keep track, but Senor Trump is by far the biggest deplorable and the stage CNN set for him is number 2.

Where to start, I agree with all your choices. TFG was so bad I lasted under 15 minutes. My favorite deplorable has to be Tommy Tuberville. My question is

what klan does he belong to? Love his press release correction./s Keep up the good work.

So, if Trump sexually assaulted me, would that make Tommy Tuberville want to vote for Trump THREE times? How many times would Tuberville vote for Trump if Trump sexually assaulted Tuberville’s wife? Or daughter? Or niece? Maybe we could get Tuberville a cell next to Enrique Tarrio and they could have some nice conversations about western male chauvinism, and sedition. Tuberville’s flippant response in the face of decades of pain for Carroll shows what a pig and an idiot he is.

<<“That jury’s a joke. The whole case is a joke,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told reporters on Tuesday.>>

It turns my stomach to think that if John Kasich were not running in the 2016 GOP primary I might have voted for Rubio.

For that matter, so does Brian Boitano, who has an Olympic gold medal. How many sports awards does this hipster faux-lumberjack have that aren't participation trophies?

Today’s guest presented more strawman arguments than I’ve ever heard before in a single podcast.

It’s completely understandable to simultaneously recognize that women in this country have not reached equality yet, and men and boys are not doing well. Some of his points were ridiculous, though. Like that men who have families “work harder - it’s just a fact,” and that, feminists universally reject the idea of toxic masculinity. SHOW ME YOUR DATA.

Tuberville deserves condemnation for being incredibly stupid, incredibly offensive, and never being able to beat ‘Bama when it counted.

Santos, like Trump, has no sense of shame. None. Which makes it all the more exasperating when they say or do something and they just seem to revel in the attention, even if it reveals what a jerk they are. Because they don't care.

Democrats are too smart to fall for a loon like RFK Jr. We are the ones who believe in vaccines. He may have a small smattering of support but once his loony views are known forget it.

The problem with not seeing those people in the audience who were “quietly disgusted or bewildered” and only hearing the laughing and clapping is that it gives the TV audience the green light to laugh and clap along.

Shame is a powerful social mediator, but if those who are inclined to laugh along hear the audience...well, maybe it’s ok to laugh about sexual assault.

See also: people feeling it’s ok to spout off racist tropes and insults because...well the president does it.

This may have been the toughest pick ever. There were so many superb candidates.

Trump's "town hall" was a Klan rally without white robes, unless all the white skin counted.
