This pizza owner was crying about how he was going to have to raise the price of a pizza by one dollar in this tone like they were asking him to cut off limbs. I was like, that doesn't sound so bad?

I'm sure that Rush and co. will be reporting this as a regular thing that happens all the time and white people should be very scared. quote:“They were playing a game called ‘point them out, knock them out.’ Where they would point someone out and attempt to knock them out or fight them. There was no real reason behind it. It's wise to avoid all internet comments associated with this incident.

JT Jag posted:The cast and producers of SNL are just employees of NBC. If the implication Cruz is making here is that companies should be held fully accountable for whatever their employees do... well, that's one hell of a precedent, with slippery slope that could apply to a lot of things. I suspect Cruz may be lying to make his point.

Erm I think that Lindsay Graham might be overstating his case.quote:"There's no way in hell you can form an army on the ground to go into Syria to destroy ISIL without a substantial American component," said Graham, a prominent war hawk on Capitol Hill. "This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home."
