game meat

I’ve heard roach used as an insult implying the person is dirty and/or low class/ghetto before, but not in a way tied to a specific race. The unofficial official online slang dictionary UD also has that definition.

Someone made the point to me that he had to be referring to the kids because, well, what/who else could he be talking…[Read more]

You’ve never lived or visited anywhere where the water was just bad, really?

The obligatory “fuck nestle,” but also a note on bottled water:

Even when water is technically safe, the quality and taste of water can vary dramatically throughout the country, even within the same state. And filters do not necessarily fix the taste issue. A lot of…[Read more]

He has a history of harassing Martin’s mom (sarcastically tweeting happy mother’s day at her). This pos is an apex dirtbag if there ever was one. Although, it can be argued that his lawyer here is just as bad.

This isn’t the first time he’s tried to profit off of this either. He auctioned off the gun he used and managed to get a quarter of…[Read more]

Yes, that’s exactly it. Seemed like a blunt statement to me, and it’s something she’s been whining about for over three years.

Of course, I think when she goes on about being “disappointed in Sanders for taking his time,” she’s really disappointed that he challenged her in the first place. The Clinton camp always had this attitude towards Sanders…[Read more]

Imo, it’s because scandals like Iran-Contra undermine the narrative that Trump’s behavior is an aberration.

You can’t get people riled up by claiming a president is operating without accountability and destroying democracy when you’re also conceding that others have done far worse and gotten away with it. This is especially true when you’re…[Read more]

Not to mention that impeachment will do exactly nothing to stop the Trump administration from cutting food aid. This will happen whether he is impeached or not, just like all the other terrible things he’s been doing behind the scenes while everyone is preoccupied with the latest episode of political theater.

Maybe I’m the one with screwed up…[Read more]

Even if this were true, it’s not helpful. Just because Trump has the racists doesn’t mean everyone who voted for him is a racist, nor does it mean they are comfortable with it. Reminder: Hillary Clinton was his opponent.

The Democrats just don’t see any other way to appeal to minority voters without tearing others down. They do the same thing in…[Read more]

Guess nobody told Jellyfish Jr. that Liz Warren was doing fairly well in the current primary?

It doesn’t matter. You were a sexist in 2016 if you didn’t vote for Clinton, even if you voted for Jill Stein. Barking about sexism/misogyny whenever they don’t get their way is just the conditioned response. Pavlov’s dogs, tbh.

I just can’t believe they…[Read more]

Nonsense.

Warren getting some bad press from the msm here and there is not the same as “having a target on your back.” Even obvious establishment candidates like Biden and Buttigieg get trashed from time to time. Warren gets favorable coverage more often than not, often at the expense of Sanders. There was the whole “supporting Sanders over…[Read more]

Reporting the straight facts these days is rare. Every news outlet, blogger, etc., has some degree of bias and/or a specific agenda or world view they push. We live in an age of punditry posing as journalism, with very few instances of the latter taking place.

Even when something is cut and dry, there’s usually some amount of spin in how any…[Read more]

Yes, there are things in the world that are worse than this headline. So what?

I disagree strongly that it is acceptable for the press to lie about or misrepresent someone’s words when they are lying about or misrepresenting the words of someone whom I disagree with or dislike.

I’d rather just know what they actually said without having to find…[Read more]

Yes, she deserved the ban. Like I said, “What her Republican challenger actually said would be bad enough if it were simply reported verbatim.”

And no, lynching/hanging are objectively not the same thing. Lynching is murder by mob without a legal trial, usually carried out by hanging the victim. A hanging is a method of executing someone.

Ok,…[Read more]

I hate clickbait and journalistic malpractice in general.

Saying Omar should be charged with treason and then going on to imply she should hanged if found guilty is not the same thing as “calling for her lynching.” Huffpost is practically trolling here, using intentionally misleading, emotionally charged words, at the expense of accuracy.…[Read more]

Ah, but those were the kind and loving cages of hope and change, @salemcourt

Not like those racist Trump cages, not one bit.

@ohiobarbarian

My read on Buttigieg is that he doesn’t really care one way or the other and was just saying what he thought he was supposed to say. I don’t take him seriously as a person of conviction. He’s more of an amoral, soft sociopath, imo, which is the perfect profile for his ambitions to be a lackey for the kleptocrats, as you say.

He’s…[Read more]

Hi pcrisk.com team, I received an email stating that my computer was hacked and they have a video of me. Now they are asking for a ransom in Bitcoins. I think this must be true because they listed my real name and password in the email. What should I do?

To be fair, that article wasn’t written by him specifically. I just did a site search on “the root” knowing exactly what I would find, and read the most recent one. There were no shortage of choices making the same argument they now pretend to find offensive.

I am familiar with that writer though. Mostly because “the root” were…[Read more]

Representation matters.

It’s much more than a mere catchphrase devised to disrupt the status quo, it’s a rallying cry in our quest to survive in a world constructed to malign and subjugate us. It’s also a reminder that manifests every time a black child…

Oh, barf…

Perhaps 130 years from now one of our pols will prosecute TC energy for stealing their land to build an oil pipeline.
