Praise be to Rod. I love how the last we heard from him was him walking into the sunset saying "goodbye internet" and then he pops up to scream about how angered he is by the latest weird right wing outrage.
I saw somebody saying in the comments of another Rod Drop that people like Sean Hannity, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, etc. are insincere grifters to various degrees who know that what they're saying is false and/or stupid. Rod, however, is a true believer. Like he probably truly does believe that Taylor Swift is the new Whore of Babylon or whatever the voices in his head are telling him today.
I'm a flooring contractor, and i write as a hobby. I'm writing right now at the public house, amazing. The fact that Dreher gets paid to write is so depressing. The crap I can fart out in twenty minutes is poetry comapred to this drek.
Knowing that Rod saw U2 on the Joshua Tree tour gives me the creeps, because I also saw U2 on the Joshua Tree tour. It gives me the creeps even though I attended a show on a different day, in an arena more than a thousand miles away from Baton Rouge. That's still too close.
Dreher really showed his true colors when he was super magnanimous about Matt’s health thing. Can’t help but cheer for him now. I hope he finds the secret ancient Catholicism and finds happiness.
Ron Desantis' description of that U2 concert, Sounds Like a Person who Grew up in an Underground Military Bunker Facility, and that was his first time outside, in a group of people more than 5, or hearing human Music for the first time,.. all at once.😂😂😂 Legend has it, He is still shook to this day.
*MATT WAS THE WHOLE SHOW* Edit: don’t get me wrong I enjoy the perspectives of rocksteady and bebop or whatever their names are but I just think they need to pay Matt anything he wants to come bacc
Tbc it's a paragraph wherein a deeply racist closeted homosexual Jesus freak pretends an Eddie Murphy bit actually happened to him in real life. If thats not interesting to you that's your opinion
Only reason I'm bothering to vote this year is because my state (Michigan) has a Trotskyite party (Working Class Party) who runs for local elections and has been picking up votes. They even got over 10% of the votes for one congressional seat, and won seats on school boards for a bit. Since Biden is handing the state to Trump anyway, may as well try and fuck with the democrats.

I sometimes feel a genuine pang of sadness for Ron DeSantis.

A set of questions, hopefully confusing: Alice is a white stay-at-home mother who is moving to a new neighborhood. One of the neighborhoods in her city is mostly Middle Eastern immigrants; Alice has trouble understanding their accents, and when they socialize they talk about things like which kinds of hijab are in fashion right now. The other neighborhood is mostly white, and a lot of them are New Reformed Eastern Evangelical Episcopalian like Alice, and everyone on the block is obsessed with putting up really twee overdone Christmas decorations just like she is. She decides to move to the white neighborhood, which she thinks is a better cultural fit. Is Alice racist? Bob is the mayor of Exampleburg, whose bus system has been losing a lot of money lately and will have to scale back its routes. He decides that the bus system should cut its least-used route. This turns out to be a bus route in a mostly-black neighborhood, which has only one-tenth the ridership of the other routes but costs just as much. Other bus routes, most of which go through equally poor mostly-white neighborhoods, are not affected. Is Bob racist? Carol is a gay libertarian who is a two-issue voter: free markets and gay rights. She notices that immigrants from certain countries seem to be more socialist and more anti-gay than the average American native. She worries that they will become citizens and vote for socialist anti-gay policies. In order to prevent this, she supports a ban on immigration from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Is Carol racist? Dan is a progressive member of the ACLU and NAACP who has voted straight Democrat the last five elections. He is studying psychology, and encounters The Bell Curve and its theory that some of the difference in cognitive skills between races is genetic. After looking up various arguments, counterarguments, and the position of experts in the field, he decides that this is probably true. He avoids talking about this because he expects other people would misinterpret it and use it as a justification for racism; he thinks this would be completely unjustified since a difference of a few IQ points has no effect on anyone’s basic humanity. He remains active in the ACLU, the NAACP, and various anti-racist efforts in his community. Is Dan racist? Eric is a restauranteur who is motivated entirely by profit. He moves to a very racist majority-white area where white people refuse to dine with black people. Since he wants to attract as many customers as possible, he sets up a NO BLACKS ALLOWED sign in front of his restaurant. Is Eric racist? Fiona is an honest-to-goodness white separatist. She believes that racial groups are the natural unit of community, and that they would all be happiest set apart from each other. She doesn’t believe that any race is better than any other, just that they would all be happier if they were separate and able to do their own thing. She supports a partition plan that gives whites the US Midwest, Latinos the Southwest, and blacks the Southeast, leaving the Northeast and Northwest as multiracial enclaves for people who like that kind of thing. She would not use genocide to eliminate other races in these areas, but hopes that once the partition is set up races would migrate of their own accord. She works together with black separatist groups, believing that they share a common vision, and she hopes their countries will remain allies once they are separate. Is Fiona racist?
I’m not just making the argument “lots of things aren’t really racist”. I can’t do much about how you choose to define words, plus it’s doomed to fail anyway. And if you only break down non-racist things into non-racist motives, what reward shall you have? Do not even the scribes and the Pharisees do the same? I say unto you, if you want to be righteous, look for the non-racist motives in actually racist things. What does that mean? Consider some business, let’s say a daycare center, that we know discriminates against black job-seekers. If we ask them why, they say “Because black people are criminal”. This sounds like just about the most typical and obvious example of racism possible. But there’s actually a lot of really good scholarship on this exact situation, and it helps provide a different perspective. It starts like this - a while ago, criminal justice reformers realized that mass incarceration was hurting minorities’ ability to get jobs. 4% of white men will spend time in prison, compared to more like 16% of Hispanic men and 28% of black men. Many employers demanded to know whether a potential applicant had a criminal history, then refused to consider them if they did. So (thought the reformers) it should be possible to help minorities have equal opportunities by banning employers from asking about past criminal history. The actual effect was the opposite - the ban “decreased probability of being employed by 5.1% for young, low-skilled black men, and 2.9% for young, low-skilled Hispanic men.” In retrospect, this makes sense. Daycare companies really want to avoid hiring formerly-imprisoned criminals to take care of the kids. If they can ask whether a certain employee is criminal, this solves their problem. If not, they’re left to guess. And if they’ve got two otherwise equally qualified employees, and one is black and the other’s white, and they know that 28% of black men have been in prison compared to 4% of white men, they’ll shrug and choose the white guy. @@janefkrbtt

Well, he is writing about Taylor Swift. So probably not.

ROD'S BACK LET'S GOOOOO
hahahaha I've never seen this picture in the thumbnail WTF... Taylor Swift hear our prayers
Trump also wears lifts. He's 6'0" not 6'3".
He's actually 5'7 but he had 5 inches taken off his knob and inserted into his shins.
That's why he walks like that.
2:42 and yet a pack of gummy edibles will get me felony charges if I take it anywhere outside of Austin.
God I can’t wait to not vote this year
Trump and Biden just so totally the same, right?
Only reason I'm bothering to vote this year is because my state (Michigan) has a Trotskyite party (Working Class Party) who runs for local elections and has been picking up votes. They even got over 10% of the votes for one congressional seat, and won seats on school boards for a bit. Since Biden is handing the state to Trump anyway, may as well try and fuck with the democrats.
