JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

IRS: “The IRS is filing a lawsuit against you.”

IRS: “So what?”

LAD: “Don’t be so hard on us, we were down South fighting for you and it was HOT!  Man it was hot.”

NYM: “You traded away Mike Piazza, wazza matter, couldn’t afford him?  We’ve got some scores to settle.”

LAD: “Have at it, we’re Italians too.”

NYM “Ich bin ein Italia, is that it?”

T: “Finesse it.”

W: “Finesse this SOB.”

T: “Well you don’t have to get bent out of shape about it.  Have you tried ObamaCare?”

W: “I have insurance.”

T: “Okaaayyyyy.  I bet people tell you you’re a bit disruptive.”

W: “More than ever.  The Dodgers, they’ll live or die together.”

T: “Too bad you just finished a road trip at .500.  The Mets have the uptick.  You might not even make the playoffs.”

W: “The Mets are only as good as the New York Markets, and they’ve been down.”

T: “Good luck Giants, I mean Dodgers, sorry.”

W: “You’ll need it more than me Cuban.”

JE: “You wanna do this? [smiling, putting on his helmet].”

#BattleRap of the Republic: #Twitter v. #Newspapers

T: “Cut the crap.”

News: “You have no idea. You have no accountability.”

T: “You’re biased repressive desublimators.”

News: “You don’t know shit.  I’ve been doing this work since I was 18.  Even before that.  I was a paperboy.”

T: “Too much ‘get off my lawn’.  Okay mother lover, repressive desublimation, which is operative in the sphere of higher culture, operates in the sexual sphere as well.  Why do you think SCOTUS allows same sex marriage?  Because it is no longer taboo.  Now human liberty is a by-product of the social controls of technological reality.  The legality of freedoms extend liberty while at the same time intensify domination…so maybe SCOTUS wasn’t wrong as it maintains their power as the final arbiter.”

News: “What the fuck? You’d never make it as a newsman in my day.”

MSM: “Get off my airwave spectrum.”
