I knew both families and each had a daughter in my grade at school.  The one family was all a bunch of slobs while the other at least dressed as if they were high class.  Not that they were since all three kids of the well-dressed family had at least one drunk driving charge and one spent time in the prison where my brother works for domestic violence.

Of course if you had that sort of a charge or a drug charge...it was the slob lawyer who could maybe get you out of it.

Some people are just naturally scruffy.

'Scruffy' is actual quite generous.

Steve Bannon looks like the shifty uncle no one invites to Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm naturally scruffy. Bannon is a scumbag.

I don't think there is any sane person who does not value the concept of due process, and presumption of innocence. But Bannon is every fucking asshole who takes advantage of the system.

What would you know about what sane people think?

Well, you certainly don’t - you just said Bannon should have a ball and chain. I remind you again that he hasn’t been formally charged, arrested, tried, or convicted of anything. He is, at this point, an innocent man.

But you’re ready to put him to work on a chain gang and said that the hearings were ‘a joke’.

Boris Johnson?

I'm not convinced. I think his look has been cultivated so people will underestimate him.  Doesn't work. The bloke is an ignorant and insensitive Hooray Henry on his best day.

Haha - no Steve Bannon...but Boris Johnson does seem to share the same stylist.

Wasn't sure where to put this. Apologies if it's been already dealt with:

Dave Chappelle on Netflix and LBGT jokes.

A whole bunch of people have gone and gotten their panties in a bunch about some stuff Dave Chappelle did on LBGT people. I watched him and heard the first gag. Thought it was tacky and unfunny so changed the channel. Pretty much my opinion of Dave Chappelle generally, same goes for Eddie Murphy who I think is a a misogynist pig. ( that opinion based on his stand up, "Raw")

My response to those who are offended: "You're offended? So fucking what?" In my opinion, free speech must include the right to offend. We have anti hate speech laws in Australia. I do not support them.

Below a link to a clip on free speech With Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Fry which explains my position better than I can. Fascinated to hear other opinions, if any.
