I haven't seen an academy awards show since my mom watched them when I was a kid.    So we already don't watch them.


Now that it's sorted out we can expect you to not watch th NFL in support of Kaep?

Nah, i ain't no sheep that does whatever some group tells me to do just because they tell me I should be outraged.

I support Kaepernick's right to protest.  His protest, and his lack of signing does nothing for my desire to watch or not watch NFL games.

Nor am I a member of the NAACP.  They can choose to ask for a protest.  Not participating does not change my stance on the issue.

I suppose the attempts to pigeonhole everyone will continue though....

If Hitler approved the building of a national highways system and you agree that highway systems are good then you "agree with Hitler." 

It is not clear whether the video actually worked on Vlad or he, like the people who made it, understands very well that it is propaganda.

Dammit. I just sold the wife's Volkswagen.

Because that's what it was.

You're entitled to your opinion, but don't try to pass it off as, at the most, providence or, in the least, some benevolent plan by European colonists to make the world a better place 400 years in the future. They saw stuff they wanted and they killed a lot of people to get it.

And I have no problem with that.... the world is a better place because of those harsh and cold decisions. What would his world be like if North America was a third world hell hole like central and South America

Yeah it sucks people died the way they did but it's hard to move barbaric people without force.

We should be far more concerned with the people who openly agree with Hitler or Stalin when given their statements in context and properly attributed.

Quote:‘Leave Barron alone!’: Internet lights up conservative website for outfit-policing Trump’s youngest son

               

Facebook7TwitterMore69







The conservative politics site The Daily Caller—founded by bow-tie aficionado Tucker Carlson—published a “mean spirited” article on Monday about Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump.


“It’s high time Barron Trump starts dressing like he’s in the White House,” the Caller’s “entertainment reporter” Ford Springer insisted, complete with a nostalgic look at how your parents probably “forced you to dress up when you were a kid for a special occasion.”


“Is Barron just better than I ever was at rebelling against my parents?” Springer asked.


“[Barron’s] dad is always looking dapper and his mom has become a worldwide fashion icon since becoming first lady [sic],” Springer insisted. “The youngest Trump doesn’t have any responsibilities as the president’s son, but the least he could do is dress the part when he steps out in public.”


That someone would ever care what an 11-year-old kid wears in public ignited the interwebs on Monday, with users taking to Twitter to call out the conservative news site. Read some of the best reactions, below:

Well said.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

My biggest take from all of that:

The hell, that kid is 11? I thought he was like 14-15. According to a quick internet search, it says Trump is 6'2. Would that make Barron a 5'10-5'11 (or so) 11-year-old?

I believe Trump is 6'4".

EDIT: maybe not!

Regardless, that's an 11-year-old in like flip flops or sandals. He has to be like 5'9 minimum.

That's already average grown adult height and he's two years away from even being a teenager. Lol

I guess Melania is damn tall, too.

Porridge is a very broad category. Grits, cornmeal mush, groats, and oatmeal are all types of porridge and have been staples of my diet. I'm also a big fan of kheer and congee. What we call oatmeal, though, is what is typically called porridge in the rest of the English speaking world.

I suppose I should add the definition of the porridge category. It's just a term for some type of grain in some sort of liquid.
