As a 9th District resident, I was surprised — and saddened — when the results were released after the election. McCready seemed like a Dem candidate who could siphon off enough conservative votes (given his military background) to flip the district — esp. considering how batshit crazy Harris is. If shenanigans caused …

The irony here is that, as a registered Republican, Ms. Ortega voted for Paxton in 2014. Also, according to her lawyer, “Mr. Paxton’s office had been prepared to dismiss all charges against Ms. Ortega if she agreed to testify on voting procedures before the Texas Legislature. But the Tarrant County criminal district…

Which makes the system so ridiculous. Troll posts stupid, incendiary comment in the grays. Only way to keep it gray is to ignore it, but that often is too difficult for people. Shit should stay gray even if commented on unless it achieves X stars, and downvoting (negative stars?) should be part of the system. (Somehow…

Is Fraternal Order of Alt Knights really any worse than “Proud Boys”?! The former at least sounds a little metal. There’s nothing ‘hard core’ about Proud Boys. 

The Constitution makes it a lifetime appointment. Sure, we can amend the Constitution, but until then....

Yeah, I like a sloppy joe every now and then, but there is nothing about a loose meat sandwich that is appealing to me. Just make it a friggin’ burger! 

I get the concept but ... isn’t the difference between boiled russets and boiled Yukon golds rather obvious? Skins look pretty different (judging by the picture above), and if they’re peeled they may be even easier to differentiate given that one of them is, as its name suggests, golden.

If by “domestic” you mean ‘macrobrewed’ or more (colloquially) BMC, then yes. But to be clear, most craft beer sold in the US are domestic products.

The NRA isn’t even a powerful organization.

Then put your recycling in paper bags. They’re available at most/all grocery stores in lieu of plastic. And since the bag is recyclable, you’re good to go. 

She hasn’t been held criminally liable just yet -- only charged. That said, *crosses fingers*

Serious question: What do you call ABC, NBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, if not ‘mainstream media’? If you just call them ‘media’, it lumps them in with InfoWars, Breitbart, SplinterNews, etc., which seems too generic (HamNo isn’t getting a WH hard pass any time soon). I understand the term is used pejoratively by many (on the…

Yeah, that’s exactly what Claire is suggesting. Since it isn’t going to roast whole in its natural shape, it doesn’t matter whether you take the backbone out immediately before roasting or days before — assuming you can store it in its flattened condition (though it might keep its natural shape without the backbone…

OK, that was pretty good... A star for you, sir!

(Can some one tell me how to block quote properly?)

Schumer has failed on judicial noms pretty much across the board.

Straight savage, Cookie.... 

UCB was founded by Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh and Matt Besser. Sam Bee was in Toronto prior to getting on TDS.

I think he can be irritating in large doses. That’s one of the reasons I like how he’s used on The Good Place and B99: little doses. He really grated on me in The League when he was the focus of an episode. 

Though it pales in comparison to the whole its/it’s thing.
