    Despite spending a lifetime living with this reality, it still seems so fucking wild to me that one of the two major political parties in this country is just entirely peopled with assholes. It’s like they have a secret competition amongst themselves to see who is the biggest bag of dicks.

      Representative democracy representing huge parts of the population. People are as always a disappointment.

    Republican candidate for Missouri Secretary of State Valentina Gomez – who rages at all things “weak and gay”

    So much Boomer energy. Too bad it can’t be used for anything other than hate.

        “Ok boomer” and “boomer energy” aren’t directed at boomers, necessarily, they started as replies to young people saying old fashioned things.

        Like, for example, hating gay people.

    I saw a comment on that bastion of reasonable well thought out dialogue, Yahoo, that asserted if Caitlyn Clark were black, she’d be on the team.

    To this I questioned where on the roster Angel Reese resides.

    The US team is on a streak of what, seven or eight gold medals? I’ll leave it to their organizers as to whom they would like to play.

      People think the Olympics is about them. It’s not. People even think the Olympics is about countries and its not that either. It’s about human athletic endeavor, or how a person can push themselves through training and dedication.

      Therefore, the most important opinion should come from the person themselves. What did Caitlyn Clark say? She said she didn’t mind at all, and it gave her a goal for the future. In addition, she said in effect, “go team”. Why? Because obviously the young woman knows about sportsmanship and has a lot of class.

      This is unlike those that try for whatever reason who project themselves into her shoes. Shoes that would never fit them. Hell, I’ll say it…they couldn’t carry her jock strap. That woman can throw dimes from the logo all day,

        People think the Olympics is about athletics. It’s not. It’s about corporate sponsors and construction contracts.
