  As someone from across the pond, I can confirm I have never heard of Pepperdine but I would absolutely have assumed the connection between LA Waves and the Lakers. The brand recognition between these two organisations are simply not on the same level.

  The data does not support your hypothesis.

  Winning the election and becoming president is like getting a driving licence. It allows you to drive according to the rules of the road. It doesn't make anything you do in a car legal. Just because Trump is in the oval office doesn't mean he gets to ignore the law.

  I initially read this as, "with shitgibbons sprinkled in?" and it still works.

  I think the only positive thing that be said about Barrett and Kavanaugh is that they do appear to have an understanding of the detail and the importance of the first amendment.

  Unfortunately the moment for the GOP to stand up to Trump was 4 years ago. They failed the test then and are simply the party of Trump now. It is on the democrats, the judiciary and the people now.

  One reason traffic might be high is because so few of the mainstream channels, especially outside the US, are covering the details of what's happening. Or if they are they're both-sidesing it to the point of nonsense. I get news here that is really hard to find elsewhere.

  You are a racist and a bigot You support a racist, bigoted president elected on a platform of racist, bigoted policies. You have applauded that president's racist and bigoted policies. It doesn't matter how much you whine about it and deny it, by your actions you are a racist and a bigot. At least have the balls to own you little shit.

  And you're still a cunt but only one of these things will change at the next election.

  This is a dumb take. YouTube isn't just a hosting platform, it's a marketing, distribution and community interaction tool with hundreds of millions of signed-up users. You can't just buy that from another provider.
