It’s not the same mistake twice. Even if I grant you that the first was a mistake (and I’m not convinced it was the mistake people are crying it is) the second one says “a powerful lobbying group”. Not some generic comment about money in politics you could stretch to be about a conspiracy theory.

It’s not just about who’s next in line.

The real question is whether there will be a vote called to override the veto. Mitch can uphold a veto all by himself.

“If there were an emergency in the sense that the president is describing, there would be a lot more consensus.

Maybe the question then is: how did that get out of the greys? Especially so quickly? (I happened to be here right as the article got posted and made my reply when there were only 8 responses.)

Look, I’m not going to defend his views, but you have to tell me how his post above is trolling.  Irrelevant?  Yes.  Troll?  Enlighten me, please.

The next time they publicly question Cohen, I want someone to ask “what did Pence know and when did he know it?”

I think the most damning thing is that ESPN.com doesn’t have a page for AAF.

Honest question: why just the racial faux pas?

This illustrates how “reparations for slavery” is a terrible way to phrase the argument.

We have plenty of evidence that groups of people aren’t starting at the same point. Making it a case because of history opens up the far-right changing the narrative to try to argue stuff like this, and we don’t get to discuss the…

I think what reconciles that is that broadcasting is not reporting. In fact, calling a game is pretty close to just being editorializing.

Thoughts and prayers and walls.

(Only bothering to reply to make sure you’re not putting words in my mouth.)

Going year to year would be crazy in a team sport. If the club has a bad year, if no one else in the lineup can get on base to get you RBI, if the manager is an idiot who keeps pulling you after 5 2/3, these things all mess up the perceived value you’re arguing for.

It’s amazing how black people are held to such a higher standard than white people.

I’m sure the wall would have prevented this.

It also might be an emergency because something else was grabbing the news cycle. Funny how these crazy things happen right when there’s talk of impeachment.

This morning when I read that the justice department had pondered the 25th in the wake of the Comey firing, I had foolishly asked how he was going to generate a distracting story to shift the news cycle.

This man seems to not have noticed that when the kneeling started Kaepernick had already been demoted to a backup in favor of Blain Gabbert.
