What similar rationale even is there for insisting that removing your hat is good manners? The lack of any real connection between manners and bareheadedness (unless the hat itself obstructs the view or expresses values contrary to the norms of whoever is around you) is the problem here. I wouldn’t be shouting out the Nuremberg defense if there was as straight a line there as in the other cases.

So, apparently, all hats in Northern Ireland and New Zealand are used to promote hatred? There’s nothing there but red MAGA hats? Because that’s what I meant by the passage you bolded and said “bingo lolly.”

I can only respond to what you say, not to what you meant. The presence of a man wearing a hat - ANY hat - indoors (with some exceptions) is expressing a view contrary to my norms. It doesn’t matter if the hat has a logo. The presence of a hat in those situations is enough.
If a man comes into my home wearing a hat, he will be asked to remove it. If he declines, he will be asked to leave.

Then I guess I’m never going to your home.

So the orange moron wants to negotiate with the Taliban to get Bagram AF base back because, (paraphrased), "it's only an hour's flight from where China makes its nukes".
So, you want American forces (allies aren't, hopefully, stupid enough to send personnel back in), to be in an area surrounded by hostile forces that you had previously been fighting for 20 years?
I can see this ending well.
"Taliban overrun reopened airforce base, slaughtering troops and destroying billions of dollars of equipment."
"It's Biden's fault!"
Fucking idiot.

Damon Lindelof Vows Not To Work With Disney Until ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Is Reinstated: “I Can’t In Good Conscience”
In a lengthy Instagram post Thursday, the Lost and Leftovers creator promised he wouldn’t be working with the Mouse House unless and until Kimmel’s show returns, writing: “I was shocked, saddened and infuriated by yesterday’s suspension and look forward to it being lifted soon. If it isn’t, I can’t in good conscience work for the company that imposed it.”
Lindelof, in his statement Thursday, attested to his friend’s character, insisting: “If you know Jimmy, you know his incredible wife and head writer, Molly, who is not just his better half but his better three quarters. You also know he is caring and empathic and grateful. You know he loves his country. You know he appreciates a good roast and he can take as good as he gives. You know he supported his crew through multiple strikes and you know he is generous and philanthropic and most of all, you know that he is kind.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I think it wasn’t what Kimmel said that got him suspended so much as it was playing an embarrassing clip of Trump showing that he cares more about his ballroom than he does Charlie Kirk.

We couldn't do anything about all these sick lone wolves because there was no way to designate the reich or it's trigger men as domestic terrorists. There is a way, it seems, to designate "antifa" as such. You know. George Soros, the democratic party, big bird. Folks like that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
