If I was a starving college athlete for a Div I school needing to make the monthly rent... You'd what? I'd be tempted to make a few pesos, since there'd be betters inside and outside the stadium making huge bucks off of my unpaid efforts. The idea of broad gambling on amateur sports made me think o...

You'd what?

@RichardGrenell As @realDonaldTrump said, US sanctions will target critical sectors of Iran’s economy. German companies doing business in Iran should wind down operations immediately. Looks like I was wrong, we DO have a Step 2. It involves publicly pressuring our closest European allies to follow ...

I mean, here's the thing. War with Iran is a popular concept with many at the highest levels of this administration and would be a key concession to our allies in the Middle East. It would do very, very little to make the US safer. The last thing we need is a proxy war with Russia. Our European alli...

Yeah!!! Just what we needed, a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. I'm sure Saudi Arabia is gonna just chill while Iran (soon?) makes some nuclear-related advances. John Bolton is creaming his pants right now. That's certainly one take. I guess the arguments for canceling it are along the lines o...

John Bolton is creaming his pants right now.

Just finished I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle MacNamara about the Golden State Killer.

Perhaps even have unintended consequences.

Curious to know what you think could be an unintended consequence of banning from purchase of, say, the AR-15.

In the wake of the Parkland shootings, the Florida legislature (led by GOP Governor Rick Scott) wants to arm teachers. They want to run these teachers through a comprehensive background check, mental health screening, drug testing and 130 hours of weapons training. So, tell me again why this standar...

the incredible whattaboutism on this website is impressive.

The majority of Americans approved him.... This is what is wrong with this country right here. 6 words of complete bullshit that is so easily checked an 8-year old could Google it. 220,000,000 + Americans over the age of 18. 62,980,160 Americans voted for Donald Trump 62,980,160 / 220,000,000 = .28...

Public stupidity never ceases to amuse. Just yesterday the conversation turned - again - to the tired topic of Bad Trump. That time someone recalled Donnie grabbing some pussy (apparently literally) and boasting about it. My counter - what about Obama's misdoings - was met with the black stare. I e...

Trying to run away from the defamation lawsuit from Deray McKesson?

Yeah, but what about...... in 3....2....1.......

the narrative is a significant progressive, anti-trump election at all levels of government. is the press cherry-picking anecdotes, or is that the story? This is the story. Going forward, GOP House members are gonna have to chose: 1) Align with Trump; or 2) get primaried from the right by those who...

You realize that Clinton did the exact same thing? The only difference being she used a cutout? This stupid talking point needs to be taken from your mouth - by force if needed. According to sworn testimony, Trump and Co. were offered "1000s of hacked emails about Hillary Clinton" from a ...

Just once, Benny, I'd like you to look at how you've been manipulated by right wing media, staring at all the shiny, flashy kneeling football players, while allowing your constitutional rights to be eroded by your elected Republican leaders. The Patriot Act is leftist legislation. Any conservatives...

I'm reading: Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.

As a child I loved "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" and as an aside you can go through the list of Newbery Award winners for celebrated children's books (though some are for older younglings and young adults).

What's the best thing to do if you're in that situation - you hear gun shots, they're scattered, people falling everywhere, you have no idea where shots are coming from, you're wide open. What do you do to maximize odds of living - run, crawl, curl up in a ball and stay put? Make yourself small. Li...

How original.

You could watch it, but it's not a 1/2 hour cartoon, so you might have a difficult time following along.

This was a really good show. I'm glad Netflix ordered a Season 2.

Charlottesville: [silence for hours] both sides were violent, but at least the Nazis had a permit *shrug emoji*

Barcelona: [5 min. later] DIP THE BULLETS IN PIG'S BLOOD!!!!!!

You're suggesting the DNC is involved in some kind of coverup. They could have their server data subpoenaed by the FBI, or committees in the GOP-controlled House or Senate. Nobody has done so, suggesting whatever you are reading may lack basis in fact. According to Comey the FBI requested access to...
