As best I can tell about Rall, this is completely accurate. I'm surprised he hasn't come out against water and breathing yet.

A trip to the White House is the elite athlete equivalent of everyone getting a trophy.

The New England Patriots made their regular trek last week. They gave President Trump another jersey. Jason Gray, in the WSJ (a subscription is required but try clicking the Google link), says he’ll never wear it unless he gets a job at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Some players didn’t make the trip, including Tom Brady. Also, on the dark side, former star receiver Aaron Hernandez hung himself in prison that morning. He had just been cleared of two murder charges but was serving a life term for another.

But team owner Robert Craft showed up. He claims Vladimir Putin stole his Super Bowl ring in 2013.

Ooh, I get to call Mike out for once on a topic I'm very familiar with.

gently caress off Mike, A Personal Chef is different from a Private Chef, though they do similar jobs. A Personal Chef is basically making and freezing meals for people for a week at a time. It's common for both the wealthy but little time, as well as for dietary needs and restrictions. A Private Chef works for one person, as their Private Chef.

The era where rich people lived in manors and employed dozens of servants is over, nobody lives like that anymore even if they're even richer relatively than the brooding nobles from an Austen or Brontë novel.

Also lol at poor yacht builders. Just for fun, a result from searching for "yearly yacht sales statistics": http://www.boatinternational.com/yacht-market-intelligence/superyacht-industry-data/superyacht-sales-data

Is there anyone who even holds up Bill Clinton as a moral paragon? The "best" I've ever seen was my dad whose whole thing was "he was better than the guy before him and he drat sure was better than the guy after him, who cares if he got blown in the Oval office?"

Like no one thinks Bill is someone you should emulate beyond his performance as president.
He was popular and remains popular despite decades of slander, and Republicans can't stand that because they can't understand why.

Also, it's only a problem when Bernie does it. When a regressive speaks out saying the poors should just not buy cars (which are necessary to get to work) and not buy iPhones (which are necessary to hold down a job in 2017) no conservatives come out to say think of the American car companies and American electronics companies. But the moment someone says maybe the rich are taking more than they contribute there is suddenly a burgeoning yacht industry we need to defend.

I actually LOLed at this. This is a legit funny cartoon :)

It's just not funny in the way Lester wants it to be. It's laughing-at funny, not laughing-with funny. It's funny the way a Kelly cartoon is funny. Here is a man who appears to honestly think that living off the scraps of the rich, being a literal live-in servant to another person, is the best and most dignified life Americans can or should be able to hope for. That is the America Michael Lester envisions: basically feudalism, only the agricultural industry is mechanized now. How dare Bernie Sanders oppose this beautiful dream!
