@apow1753 Free speech also opens you to criticism of people who oppose the ideas in your speech

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

@BrandiKruse I believe that most reasonable people are upset because people with similar crimes of different skin tones recieved more leniency in terms of charging and sentencing.

Am I missing something with this case? He just straight up killed the kid, and people are mad he was convicted because … he’s black?

@LoewyLawFirm My guy, that’s EXACTLY what people did with Michael Irvin… AND STILL DO!

Very silly take. That’s like saying if someone went to drug rehab and then had a bad game, people would ask if they were coked up. Is the answer just not letting him play ever again?

@BrennanBaxt Brennan, it’s not that Texas Tech as an institution did anything wrong. The football program and boosters have basically stated that there should be little to no consequences for your actions. It’s that he’s a star QB and they wouldn’t do this for the bottom of the roster.

Dan, what exactly has Texas Tech done wrong ? I’d love for America to tell me what rule Texas Tech has broken? All I’ve seen is Texas Tech support a player through a problem but you are more than welcome to tell me where I’m wrong.

Friendly reminder that ND suspended a player for an entire year because he cheated on one exam.

during pride month too

@BreidenFehoko Imagine calling Twitter confirmation bias, “research”

The left is filled with a bunch of clueless people. I’ve done the research, I’ve seen enough evidence throughout history. They’ll gaslight certain cultures, religions, and people into thinking they care about you. They don’t.

@MattWalshBlog Imagine being a worse Catholic than a crackhead, that may make me upset too

Yes. It’s amazing that so many conservatives on this site are falling for the most obvious PR rebrand stunt of all time. Also, Hunter hasn’t even said anything even vaguely interesting or based. He’s on here posting basic shitlib talking points and conservatives are infatuated for some reason.

@gggiants BUT DAVE, how the hell is this a shutout!?

It's the bizarro dynasty Giants, offense picking up a shaky pitching staff

@HunterBiden @hpmcd1 My honest assessment. Hunter represented something in all of us, that felt anger for a close family member going through substance abuse or self harm. We all have had a Hunter in our lives. And some of us still wish they were here, and on a human level, I am glad he is here.

Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.

I don’t think Hunter Biden is actually that good at posting, and his jokey glorification of his own addict days makes me think he might be back off the wagon

@WestSupremacis @JakeCrain_ Yet you still love to talk about them

@JakeCrain_ ND hasn’t won anything since the 1980s. No national championships and they can’t win a conference. Everybody craps on Nebraska these days, but Nebraska has accomplished much more than ND since 1990.

Acting like Notre Dame hasn’t won the join a conference war is still wild to me.

Realest nigga in the game.

@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way. Count until you get the result you want?

So let me get this straight. Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom. Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land. Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan. Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted. And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?” Please.

Won't endorse Talarico to beat a Republican but will endorse a gubertorial candidate 3 states away to beat a leftist.

Fucking idiot boomers
