Mitch McConnell, 2016: “It is a president’s constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate’s constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent.”

For nearly a year, Republicans screamed that they would hold off on confirming Garland until after the election (an unprecedented move) because the presidential election was a “referendum” on the Supreme Court nominee:

No, the argument quite clearly is it’s absurd to shame the Democrats for “robbing” the President of the ability to appoint a justice and holding a seat hostage without at least acknowledging the context, which is that Republicans held the seat hostage when an eminently qualified candidate was put forward by Obama,…

Yes but that’s when an actual president was trying to do his job. Now a representative of the Russian mob is trying to do his job so fuck him.

I didn’t vote for Hillary in November.

I voted for this goddamn seat.

Meh, there are still 32 automatic bids, most of which are for lousy schools, getting their shot. The fact that there aren’t 3 more lousy schools invited doesn’t make much of a difference when the 12-16 seeds went a collective 1-20, proving their skill quite effectively.

You should start sharing posts from small blogs, spread the love.

I am still baffled that NOBODY around here seems to think that deliberately sending someone with epilepsy something that you know will cause a seizure is a big deal. It is also completely unrelated to this much worse deal but you brought it up, so here we are.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

I don’t like it when my entertainment is too showoffy and entertaining.

Why? Bautista is without question the better player.

why do people ALWAYS go with white people as their go-to analogy for what “working class” means?

Because people want to believe that the working class is a group of skilled laborers rather than the reality of most of them working in retail.

Duquette is an idiot. Jose is actually a pretty hard working guy/blue collar type guy. He toiled around the league a bit and didn’t establish himself until later in his career. The idea that the fan base wouldn’t respond well is ridiculous. Like any player, the fans will judge him on production. If he mashes 40 bombs,…

After the interview, Duquette retreated to his office, violently fell to his knees, and worshipped hungrily at the Altar of The Eckstein, repeating the verses from Grittiacus and Scrappitudicus he’s come to know so well.

Yes, you’re right. It definitely is not a sports entertainment promotion featuring musclebound men wearing sparkly spandex costumes slamming each other around for spectacle. It’s some whole other, more serious thing.

The only way this idea is redeemed is if someone leaks it to Deadspin. I want to see this video.

I believe the NFL is right that they need a very strict touchdown celebration policy. All touchdown celebrations will be graded on a scale from -5 to 5 depending on creativity, originality, inspiration, and emotional impact. The new kickoff position should then be adjusted by that number of yards so as to reward…

Hip shaking will no longer be allowed. Doing the Carlton, however, will be highly encouraged!
