Clowns screaming 'Marco'....'Polo' back and forth at each other were likely told to engage in that activity to ward off any predators. Of course, just simply talking with one another is enough to alert predators to your whereabouts.

Considering the great outdoors is supposed to be appreciated, and you're supposed to leave only footprints wherever you go, it stands to reason they were likely a colostomy bag of noise pollution.

So yeah, fuck those guys. (o;

I'm certainly not one to condone violence, but whoever it was that threw a drink on Tomi Lahren is a god-damned American hero. Because FUCK that Ann Coulter wanna-be.

if it wasn't I'm not sure why it had to be stated that violence shouldn't be condoned

(I can't call it violence, but at the same time, this is the shit that fuels the conservative echo chamber, so I can't endorse it)

Nothing fuels them more than being called racist but I don't think that should stop either.

That only works if you can get everyone else to ignore her. You can't, which means the next best thing you can do is make her public life as shitty as possible.

the quality of her public life is not in any way less shitty now. I'd argue it's better going forward now that she can be seen as a sympathetic figure by her echo chamber. people like that thrive on attention, and this generates more attention.

And yet I feel like if she got a drink thrown in her face every time she goes out in public she'll either quit going out in public or quit being a fascist cunt. Either would be a win.

Isn't "makes her sympathetic" part of the same justification for condemning the comedian who called SHS a soulless liar?

you've now twice used verbal instances in comparison to a physical act, so I'm really not sure where your goal posts are actually located

So when you said "just ignore her", you only meant physical acts and screaming in her face wasn't covered?

Ignoring her is the best solution, saying she's a racist within reason is something I can't condemn and throwing a drink is stupid and started this whole thing in the first place

None of this shit matters, guys. Seriously. Worrying about the echo chamber having more ammunition is absolutely pointless. If it's not this, it's an evergreen piece Fox has teed up on immahgrunts, baby-killers, coming to take mah guns, Obama/Hillary, whatever.

I'm not saying throw drinks on people. But worrying about providing fuel to the conservative loonie squad is truly an exercise in futility.

Yeah, this. Throw drinks, don't throw drinks, whatever. But don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever consider appeasing these assholes. It hasn't worked and it isn't ever going to work. They can't be shamed and they don't care what you think.

It's a tough call, but I feel that if you are a demagogue whose stock in trade is sowing discord, than the occasional drink in your face is the price you should be expected to pay.

She's not out there preaching tolerance and peace. As you sow, so shall you reap. Just hope it was real cheap booze - like Popov vodka or something.

The point is that everyone on the planet could fall over backwards trying to be nice to poor Tammy and she's just going to find something to justify her victim complex, as will everyone else in her social circle of professional victims. If she and the rest of the looney right are going to have a victim complex, then might as well give them something to really feel victimized by. In the end, it doesn't affect how they're going to respond/react.

Does that make sense?

Supposedly it drives her nuts if people misspell her name, so just in case she ever falls down a weird internet rabbit hole into the Swamp here. But if you're ever discussing her on Twitter -- which you should try not to of course -- make sure not to get her name correct.

Ever since I went to Japan, I have been a Sumo wrestling fan. I watch more sumo than baseball.

The current tournament ends Sunday and it is shaping up for an epic final few days.

Tochinoshin is the bomb!

Happy to explain any of the intricacies of the sport. Highlights available 7:00 am Eastern Time.

Of the 3 Yokozuna (highest ranked fighters) two are Mongolian. Including Hakuho - the Gretzky/Jordan/Ali of the sport. The only Japanese one won his only two tournaments in 2017 and has been injured and unable to fight for the last 7 tournaments. (Tournaments are held every 2 months).

If he wasn't Japanese, they'd have found a way to either push him out or force him to take a demotion.

Tochinoshin is really liked because he has struggled and improved slowly and steadily. And he fights in a very honourable aggressive style. (And he's not Mongolian)

Call me crazy - I love the sumo.
