What gave you the impression that we ever thought we were not dickheads?  

Ha! Dude, that’s totally fair. Revision: I just thought we were classier dickheads.

Cleveland’s Major League Baseball Team Will Drop Its Indians Nickname

With a payroll of $45M, guess you have to keep yourself relevant somehow.

Classy?  You want us sticking our pinkies out when we drink our coffee now?  Get out of here with that shit.  The "Woke is cool" thread is down the hall on the left!   With all the bullshit going on right now, we have enough material for this thread to easily hit a few hundred pages.

To be fair, the Daily Mail’s headline is a bit clickbaity (yes I just made that word up, and yes I’m keeping it). The district has not decided to rename anything and the recommendations were just that; recommendations made by a school naming board consisting of students, teachers, and parents. The LA Times has a more balanced take on the topic:

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-30/san-francisco-public-school-renaming

The mayor ofSan Fran rightly criticized the board and called the recommendations an unwanted distraction especially considering kids were out of classrooms and parents are trying to maintain sanity. 

While I agree this committee’s recommendations do little to assuage concerns about the reach of radicals, let’s see what actually happens here before we crank up the outrage machine. The fringes will always say stupid shit. How the actual leaders react is what’s important.

‘Amen & Awoman:’ Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Says in Opening Prayer for Congress

The “Guam is going to tip over” guy is probably breathing a sigh of relief that this has now taken the top spot for dumbest shit ever said by a Congressional representative.

Saw a congressman on Twitter joke that there would be noodles in the House cafeteria.  Ramen...and rawomen.

I wonder how they’ll determine which songs are hymns and which are hyrs.

It is troubling how close some of these clowns walk to 1984 level ideas.

This embodies “wokeness” going wrong.  They’re trying to force a justice to retire just so they can nominate a female POC to be another “first.”  I think it’s been made pretty clear by many of my posts that I’m all about equality, but this is definitely a case of taking it too far.

I'm less concerned about trying to put a particular gender/race for a "first", and more concerned with political parties trying to stack the court by applying political pressure to get a judge to retire early to do so. And, yes, both parties do it.

I get that politics will always play a role in filling the supreme court since they are nominated and confirmed by political figures, but you'd hope that they could set aside political maneuvering to pick the best candidate instead of one that would push the party's agenda.

I don't know if it's for another "first", or if it's because they fear Breyer getting old like RBG and losing another seat on the court at an inopportune time.  Getting three SCOTUS picks will be the most lasting legacy for Trump's presidency.

Pentagon figuring out how to deal with extremists in the ranks

Reuters put this up.  I'm curious if this is just going to be disregarded by some of the people in here that deny there are any problem. Or, are some of you going to just say this is leadership gone wrong, pandering to the SJWs?

You have to be the biggest condescending asshole on here dude.  For fucks sake, please stop.

I'm curious why you'd feel that way.  Plenty of people are way worse than me, but I don't tow your party line, so I'm condescending?  These are legitimate topics and concerns and if you don't feel like participating, feel free to hold your peace. 

Also, if there hadn't been so much defending of racist actions in here I wouldn't even waste time posting it.  Not calling you racist at all, just saying there's a ton of apologist action made by many people posting in here.
