I think Deadspin should offer a one-time-only amnesty in which Jets fans are allowed to switch their allegiance to another team without being accused of bandwagoning. Then after they’ve all accepted the offer, publish a followup post saying it was a trick and only the most pathetic fanbase in sports would accept such…

Or is he the omega of betas?

I would not endorse Nationals either, it is quite bland. I’m sure there must be a local bird they could have used.

If you think about it, Washington Senators was pretty terrible. It has the halo of old-timeyness now, but really - who wants to root for a bunch of rich asshole politicians?

I feel like there should be a documentary and/or book about magicJack. It’s such an epic tale of dumbassery.

Utah Jazz

Could you be more specific, I’m still not sure which is which in your comparison ...

I want to see Scott Pruitt served a three-eyed fish at a restaurant. It’s inevitable at this point.

Well we can hope that the flaming wreckage left behind by the Trump presidency puts the kibosh on the idea that businessmen should be in charge of governments for a while. And you’re seeing it on smaller scales too, like Bruce Rauner’s complete failure to govern in Illinois, or Rick Snyder’s disastrous “leadership” in…

Believe me, I’ve had to talk myself down from thinking that a violent uprising is the way to go, so I get where you’re coming from. But we’re the world’s oldest democracy with a history of peaceful leadership changes. That’s worth fighting for, in a metaphorical sense.

On some issues - not all - the fight is working. So far he and his cronies are not getting their way on Obamacare. Tax reform looks to be dead before it’s even begun. Tried to kill Meals on Wheels, failed. Tried to kill Planned Parenthood, failed. Tweet about transgender soldier ban has been ignored. So there’s still…

A lot of this was the GOP platform anyway, but he’s cranked everything up to 11 and added some wrinkles of his own, to the point where some in the GOP itself are finally saying “whoa there Donny, let’s think this through a bit” on certain issues.

OK, but how did the White Sox do? I need my Tyler Saladino news from the most trusted White Sox blog on the internet.

When you contemplate something like violent revolution, you have to do a cost/benefit analysis. What do we stand to lose if we don’t revolt? The gradual erosion of everything that makes America a good place to live. What to we stand to lose if we do revolt? Potentially, the immediate end of everything that makes…

At each step on the continuum you describe, they’ll deny, deny, deny that the next step could ever take place. And far too many of our fellow citizens will believe them.

No, you’re completely right. The ultimate goal is to institutionalize the perfect kleptocracy, disguised as a democracy, and pitting undereducated hicks against marginalized groups is the means to realize that end. We have to fight these efforts individually, but never lose sight of their top priorities.

I could see Trump’s eyes glazing over as he regards a map of Kazakhstan before he shouts, “I don’t have time to learn all these -Stans, can’t you get me a more general map that just has the important countries!?!”

And if you start thinking about how you’d go about “firing” a country, the mind goes to some pretty dark places ...

I bet that just about any random staffer at State would endorse your suggestion for China and North Korea, but again, reasoned, responsible, incremental diplomatic successes were the hallmark of Obama-Clinton diplomacy, so anything that even carries a whiff of that kind of mentality is going to be offensive to the…

Venezuela is a great object lesson for those of us on the left on how our rhetoric and goals can be co-opted and used for great evil. We have to be vigilant that the leaders who claim to represent us actually do represent us. To blindly say “I’m a leftist and Maduro is a leftist, therefore I support him” is asinine.…
