I’ve never heard of bar stool sports. Is it a sports bar? I don’t want to go to their site, or twit accounts because I’ve always been against frat boy/bro culture. One last comment: stool presidente, ie, shit president, is appropriate. Bro.

Silly wealthy owner man. He was supposed to wait for Trump’s second term before openly attempting to union bust. Didn’t he get the “millionaire’s memo?”

So Portnoy’s Complaint was actually complaining about labor unions?

Only from the “Trump’s 'grab ‘em by the p***y’ comment is just boy talk” crowd.

For everybody who cites Rand’s writings as proof of anything, remember that it is far easier to make a world-view work in a fictional environment than it is in the real world. To the best of may knowledge every attempt to operate a business or a society under Randian principles has ultimately ended up crashing and burning.

That’s the first thing that struck me as well, right after the depth of stupidity of the tweet itself, of course.

Hell, this is so much worse than just bringing bad attention to himself. He just blatantly committed a crime in public, one that would normally be hard to prove.

Also known as ‘dry snitching’… on oneself.

But the idiot put his effort to silence someone else on the internet, and it had the exact opposite effect, so it still counts as a Streisand, in my book.

Oh, it is facial hair. The tiny version on my phone for the Twitter made it look like face tattoos.

Oh yeah, that’s true - he certainly followed up his crime announcement with a Streisand effect, by demanding AOC debate him. (I don’t think he understands how this works…)

ETA: Judging from her past debates, she’d probably shred him if he bothered to show up.

Exactly. “Debate me!” seems to be the conservative sad boi* response to AOC, now, thanks to sad-sack Ben Shapiro. (A man who once insisted that climate change wasn’t a big deal for coastal homeowners because, after their houses were literally underwater, they could just “sell them.” Yeah, I don’t know why anyone would take him seriously enough to debate him.)

*Or, as some are calling it, “the feral dweeb community.”
