Kansas Crimson

I freely admit to being an asshole from time to time. I just don't lie and try to pass it off as " I was just joking". I also freely admit to my weaknesses and my knowledge gaps, something the national discourse would benefit from tremendously if a larger chunk of both sides of the aisle w...

Are we seriously not talking about this?

Bowen said Dawkins originally mentioned they could get $60-80K from Adidas for going to Louisville, but it rose to $100K because "Billy Preston had gotten $100K" from Adidas for going to Kansas.

He’s going to be confirmed. The temper tantrum didn’t work; the smoke and mirrors failed; the character assassination withered in the light of the truth. All it really managed to accomplish was to galvanize Republican voters. Game over. And the "win at all costs" mantra continues. Are the...

Peter Strozyk says hello. If being biased and partisan is such a problem for you then how can you support Kavanaugh? Strozyk sent a private text to his girlfriend; Kavanaugh announced his bias and partisanship live on national television. Strozyk was promising to sabotage a presidency and thwart th...

You make a fair point -- not all of Africa is the same. But there definitely are a lot of parts of it I would not want to visit. Specifically, Lob. Please tell me the parts of Africa you would not want to visit. If lobs is not going to respond, then I will. Where is hell on earth for some unfortuna...

Either way, we shouldn't confirm this dude. Maybe it's unfair (maybe not), but he played his hand wrong and said way too much stuff in his hearing. Just find someone else. Pushing him thru just to avoid possible implications from the upcoming election cycle is just as bad as delaying it to possibly...

I didnt really have a strong feeling either way in regards to confirmation going into this hearing. As it stands after, my opinion is that he acted exactly, under pressure, the way a guilty person acts. And please, save me the whiney ass excuse that he was badgered into that behavior. For me, it's ...

I am not going to argue this further with you. It is offensive to me that you make unfounded claims about the professionalism of federal investigative agents based on a story or 2 that you came across. A big part of the job is remaining objective and impartial as you investigate persons that may ha...

that's not difficult to imagine. nor is it to imagine that maybe the limited scope inquiry was exactly that. You are aware of the extreme animosity the current FBI administration has toward the POTUS, correct? My guess is that they are more inclined to do the opposite of what they are asked then to...

ummmmmmmmm...... One current and two former FBI officials confirmed to NBC News that dozens of witnesses have come forward to FBI field offices who say they have information on Brett Kavanaugh, but agents have not been permitted to talk to many of them. To the extent that any interviews have been d...

Drama much? We are headed towards no such thing. That is silly.

Can you imagine if Trump said old black people talk differently, as if it's possible to "talk/sound black" If he was talking about the specific resonance and tone of the sound of their voice as I was then I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. But that's likely not what he would be tal...

You make a fair point -- not all of Africa is the same. But there definitely are a lot of parts of it I would not want to visit. there are just as many, if not more, parts of ‘murica that i don’t want to visit :D Not sure I would say there are more parts. Of course, there's horrible stuff that happ...

Here's how you can tell the difference between joking and just being a dick...

If most everyone else thinks you're comment was funny then you were joking.

If yoi are the only one who thinks it is funny then you are just being a dick and finding it funny.

And again, the goal isnt to be better than some third world african nations. Arguing that "hey, you're better off here than in Africa" is absurd. That's kinda racist, bro. Seriously, though. Isn't that analogous to Trump's "Third World shithole" statement that is so roundly cond...

No, its because it will take me a half hour to read through that giant text block on my phone.

You need to learn the use of words like "few", "some" and "many". It would reduce the need of others to argue against your broad brush stereotyping. And dont be afraid of a paragraph break from time to time, either. And again, the goal isnt to be better than some third ...

"what actually happened" is only part of the equation. the grander question is, character and fitness for the most prestigious job in his field. instead of displaying even-keeled pragmatism and objective temperament, he's presented himself as a dubious partisan hot head that we should pro...

The democrats are eventually going to need to distance themselves from these race-obsessed people who think all whites are privileged, as well as distancing themselves from the feminists and the idea that "women are oppressed in America". Most voters can see through the bullshit of these ...

Not a great personality, but he gets stuff done. That’s good enough for most people. That's sad that it doesn't matter to you what comes along with getting a few of the things you want done. Meh. I have been on this earth for a decent number of years now, and I have yet to meet a perfect man or wom...
