This reprehensible shilling by my elected representative is to get funding for the gateway program—necessary renovations to the infrastructure surrounding the island of Manhattan. Trump withdrew the Federal Government’s pledge to contribute once he was elected and has made federal funding of a border wall the…

Yea, but the first amendment does not protect you from a private company’s reaction to your speech. So, no freedom of speech issue. Describing the reaction to her racist comments as a free speech issue is a red-herring designed to prop up her claim. Remember, her claim is that she was discriminated against based on…

The claim conflates animus towards someone’s racist actions, with animus against them for the color of their skin. They are separate things. There is no freedom of speech issue here.   

Diana has done amazing work covering this case.

You forgot to put “million” after a few of your figures in the article. It makes the accomplishment much less impressive.  

I ride the L train everyday and have never seen this guy. That said, I hope he unseats the old man with the drum box and the horribly squeaky violin who is always at Bedford.  

I get more of a late-season Shield Chiklis vibe from him

The customer cannot tell why their server is “not feeling it” when they are at the table. As such, the customer cannot empathize with the server for being hungover or whatever. Boulder needs to understand that these people have no clue whats eating them.  All that comes across is that the server is upset and the…

Unfortunately, Fox News will endure as the mouth piece for the GOP donor class long after Trump’s administration ends. Just like CNN, Fox News relies on access to generate content. It doesn’t take a genius to foresee how being on the wrong side of the Acosta case would establish a precedent that could bite them in the…

Tyson Chandler looks like he took the preseason off to live in the woods and make jerky. You know there is just an obscene amount of it too. All of his teammates better understand that they will be getting jerky if Chandler draws them for “Secret Santa.”

Don’t forget about how he was on the “advisory board” of a company that was recently shut down for being a massive fraud.

I feel like there is a lot of ground between “lines at the polling place are long” and “it is difficult for me to vote because of ‘x’ reason that I feel is inadequately addressed” and “democracy is not working.” If I had to hazily identify the skipped step, I would call it “active and intentional voter suppression.” …

For players like Buddy Hield and Willy Cauley-Stein, who were butt last year, but are no longer featured on this list; have they aged out or are they no longer butt?

Hahaha. Yea, thats kinda my point.  Just trying to find the bright side!

So its only 65 cents on the dollar? Assuming lawyers get a third and he walks away with about 43% of what he would have made. Doesn’t really change my actual point, just makes it less of a windfall for Durkin. Is there an actual public agreement?

I agree generally, except that there is no need for an under the table quid-pro-quo. The actual business relationship is sufficient in itself.

Interesting. Thanks for responding.

Is he being terminated for cause? UMD spent millions of tax-payer money on the “independent” investigation to clear UMD of any wrongdoing, thus allowing them to re-instate Durkin only to fire him days later. Either they are paying out his contract (which is incompetence to the nth degree) or they are going to have to…

Newflash: all racists are liars and hypocrites so they will never admit it. 

“His balance and body control are obviously at a very high level, and he everything he does looks smooth enough to win him an A on any possible eye test.”
