This is the American flag now 
wasp self-image vs wasp reality
Source. Somebody please tell me this rich white guy with the pink polo tucked into his pleated khakis paid extra for an AR with a left-hand ejection port, which is slightly less depressing than the possibility that he's just never held that rifle before
Looks like a lefty AR but we need to talk about these khakis, flat fronts from 2002 that he ironed pleats into
when nextdoor says antifa is coming for your mayonnaise
Update: Not a lefty AR! Just an outlet for a man with a fetish for burning his nipples on hot brass
"LEAVE CHEESE WIFE ALONE"
"NO, I MEAN *YOUR* MANAGER"
seriously though, think of all the ignorance, fear and resentment it takes to get here, then think how many people are like that, then think how many of them are armed in america because that's america's deal
It totally owns that he's positioned to shoot his wife *and* catch the hot brass in the neck of his shirt to boot
Story coming later today
I keep thinking about people who train guns on marchers wearing shirts that literally say "hands up don't shoot"
I don't want to surprise anybody but,
My story on Armalite Ken and Barbie is up now newrepublic.com/article/158328…
"Who among us can reasonably doubt that, if he were forced to read Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, Tom Cotton would shop an op-ed declaring that the French simply hadn’t killed enough Black Algerians to establish stability?" Relevant, believe me newrepublic.com/article/158328…
Ah, some Trump-loving tactical gunnery dudes are mad as hell that they're compelled to agree with me on the McCloskeys' recklessness with firearms, but that I "made it about race"
Apparently the consensus is that I'm not a *real* military veteran, which, frankly, I've been telling readers forever. Happy to share more harrowing sea stories of doing dental checks and afternoon sweepers at a reserve center in Miami for a couple of years
I will, however, generously thank the Marine who wrote to kindly compliment the article, but argued that "white hot" is a technical term that I use incorrectly to refer to hot brass. Which, fair enough, but if you're gonna be that literal, the nipples thing is shaky, too
