Hey, did you know that just because you personally don’t know something that has no effect on the knowledge of others? I mean, I can’t name China’s biggest movie star, but I bet about a billion or so people instantly can. Just like how you have apparently never heard of speech writers while a lot of other people have.

It’s racist because the ban specifically applies to small number of Arab nations. It’s not super hard to figure out if you’re not being an asshole.

Yes, a professional draft where a small select number of people make MILLIONS of dollars but the vast majority make league minimum, play for a few years, and have debilitating injuries for life is JUST like slavery.

MAN SAYS THING should be the go-to headline for every Trump story, as it’s really the only thing that can truthfully be said about any of his anecdotes

Alternately, that educational and research institution could spend that 25k on education or research, but no, let’s give it to a grown man who yells at teenagers for a living. Priorities!

You joke, but I could definitely go for a frosty chocolate milkshake right about now

Shady cop 101.

Not to be a highlight truther truther, but it genuinely looks like he only took two steps after catching the ball off his final dribble.

Is that supposed to be Bar and I?

Have we seriously gotten to the point where doubting a CIA claim presented with absolutely no evidence is going off the deep end? I mean, I get why you would always trust our intelligence agencies after we found all those WMDs in Iraq, but asking for some shred of actual evidence isn’t all that insane.

Republicans are not united at all. This was the most contentious primary they’ve had in years, and many of them signed pledges denouncing Trump that they’re now awkwardly having to walk back. The idea that the Right has better solidarity practices is empirically false.

They may not be the most talented ribs, but they’re scrappy gym rats, first ones in every day.

Yes, believing that intelligence agencies, which by definition exist in large part to bend and stretch the truth, might be actually telling a lie is being completely irrational and paranoid. That’s why we found all of those nuclear bombs in Iraq!

In other words, “it’s totally ok when people I like do it!”

Partially. Did you know that the government in this case only provides a small fraction of the operating expenses of the university and that the vast majority of the unversity is privately funded?

Just like Claeys, you have no idea how this process works. In addition to the fact that due process is something that only exists in the criminal justice system, and as you point out the university is not a criminal justice system, it actually does exist in this case. As you might note had you actually read the…

Dom, thanks so much for this piece. As a proud graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, we don’t get too many folks to cheer for at the professional level, even though we are inexplicably somehow one of the few colleges to ever produce an NFL defensive POY (Bryce Paup) and MVP (Kurt Warner). But with Johnson I get…

Also, if he hadn’t played and had success for some of the most high-profile franchises in MLB, he wouldn’t even be getting the consideration he is now. If Bert Blyleven had pitched for the Red Sox, he would have been a first ballot HOFer. It Schilling had pitched mainly for the Twins and Cleveland, he’d be at best a…

The man is just grieving Harambe. Give him some space.

Wait, you’re proposing a corporation with managers and workers? What, will they all be paid the same? If not, how could you possibly determine who is paid what? There is literally no way to do this, as in the history of capitalism it’s been well-established that all people working for one institution are all paid the…
