You like the idea of the FBI freely implying criminality and the like even when they don’t think prosecution is merited? Interesting.

Most Dems who had an opinion on him “exonerating” Clinton resented for him because he went out of his way to be hypercritical about it despite all longstanding norms and principles to the contrary.

You’re pretty glib about “saving the court system some inconvenience.” We’re not just talking dollars and cents. That inconvenience will often get transferred to, say, victims of criminals! And I don’t know that criminals really benefit from this, what with being dead in all.

There is a reasonable purpose for this statute: innocent people die with appeals pending and this avoids the time and expense of actually litigating those appeals after they die.

I don’t think it’s fair to just say that the law is antiquated. It’s actually fairly practical. When a person dies with appeals still available to them and survivors who could be invested (maybe only emotionally) in that appeal, you basically have three options:

I think this is a circumstance that merits mentioning that the writer is female in the headline.

Someone else may have already mentioned this, but the shadiest element of the Icarus comparison may be that his father Daedalus was a prisoner.

I think the odds of there being one Mega Man game and that game being X3 are basically zero.

She really doesn’t even deserve any credit for the Gorsuch hearings. She made him look better by trying to portray him as “weak on crime”.

I shouldn’t be able to name the NYT’s public editor, let alone hold a strong opinion on them. But here we are.

I was at a bankruptcy panel this morning and one of the attorneys kept interrupting the judges, particularly the lone female judge on the panel. She eventually just said, “You keep interrupting us,” and that was that.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the tiers in Smash 4 considered to be fairly flat? If so, then I don’t know that Captain Falcon really qualifies as a “weak” character if he’s B tier.

Maybe, but Republicans are even more out of touch with the Dem base than the Dems are.

Was playing FFXV, a game that very frequently auto-saves (largely negating the need to ever manually save), and completed the optional Pitioss dungeon. Crashed my car afterwards resulting in a game over, losing all of my progress, because for whatever reason they did not provide an autosave at any point in that…

People in the losers’ bracket are almost always still eligible to win the whole tournament in Smash tournaments.

Chait’s biggest problem may be that he can’t understand why they decided to call the biggest protest the Women’s March when the reality is the Women’s March just happened* to become the biggest march.

I think the second piece (assuming it’s the one I’m remembering) was fair. People definitely run for President to build their brand. Trump just happened to win, which I don’t think was his original intention.

Basically every thing listed either came up in the primary or didn’t come up in the primary because people wouldn’t have cared.

He was, and it was probably provided to him specifically because of all the excellent work he had done on Trump up to that point.

I’m not a really Silver fan, but the singling out of him post-election is not grounded in reality. Of all the sites that projected the election, 538 gave Trump the best odds by far and regularly chastised other sites for being unrealistic. I think they had him at 40 percent to win by the time the election came around.
