The American President.

That...seems about right. The White Sox (which is so damn clever I wish that I had thought of it) and a gun-crazed lunatic, who believes that he is being patriotic by advocating for the armed overthrow of any duly elected government that tries to take away his guns.

I'm disappointed in Slick. He seems so much more urbane than the rest of these chuckle-heads.

I'm truly disappointed in Matt Barnes. In interviews, he seems intelligent; like he might be capable of actual rational thought. Guess not. Anyway, he is currently sporting that ridiculous Hitler youth haircut so maybe he was in his element today.

But the one that's really killing me is Brock Holt. Brock Holt pretends to care about sick kids but stands grinning next to a man who dreams of taking away their access to care.

--And if we learned anything from Tim Thomas (and seriously I know nothing about Tim Thomas), it's that standing next to someone means a complete endorsement of their beliefs. It means fully embracing the lying, the cheating, the racism, the misogyny, the jingoism, the xenophobia, the cruelty. It's saying, "I got a couple more bucks in my pocket, I'm good man. Do what you want."-- 

The health care class system is A.O.K. in Brock Holt's view. You've got your haves: the folks who get to walk into a hospital and maybe walk out with a cure. And you've got your have-nots: the folks who can't afford treatment so they forgo it, or they go massively into debt, or beg strangers on the Internet for money. 

And while all those concussions that he's suffered are probably melting his brain and will lead to further mental deterioration down the road, Brock Holt's care is covered. Anybody else gets a concussion and can no longer get health care? Sucks to be you, says Brock Holt. You get to suffer.  The upside though is that everybody's stock portfolio is worth a little bit more so win...win?

I suppose it's good to know where folks stand.
