Did the Knicks screw Jackson over when he was part of the team in the 70s? This is like some long game revenge plot being played out. I keep expecting Jackson to turn to the camera ala Kevin Spacey in House of Cards and flash an evil smile.

Read all about it in his book, “The Art of Taking A really good, young basketball player and publicizing that you want to trade him because you hate him and also, what were we talking about? I dozed off.”

The Knicks habit of talking down the value of guys they want to trade is really something to behold.

Glad to see Phil has reached the “pooped in the fridge and ate a whole wheel of cheese” stage of his Knicks career.

Phil: trade him to Milwaukee. It’s terrible for the Knicks, but I want to see a Giannis, Kristaps, Thon Maker lineup run the floor. That reason is just as good as the other bullshit you’ve suggested.

He’s under contract for the 2018-17 season and has a team option for the 2018-19 season.

That ship sailed after the Civil Rights Act and the parties realigned due to how people voted on that issue. Can’t unring that bell.

Let’s remember, Evan Bayh left Senate to lobby for the same health insurance company he whored out his health care reform vote for. More like Evan Bought.

The people constantly calling for bipartisanship are usually the same people constantly saying “both sides do it.”

i’m sure, as they were sitting in their living room watching their child be immolated in a fire in front of them, lots of people at grenfell tower were thinking “you know i’m so glad that both LABOUR under blair AND the tories agreed that public housing was not worth supporting fully. bipartisanship working at its…

This is spectacularly self-centered and dumb. That’s your actual biggest fear?

He thrived on chaos and had absolutely no optimism or vested interest in things getting better, so I’d say yes, it could have kept him going for another decade (even if he wasn’t strictly a current events/topical comic).

So… We’re doing it right is what you’re saying?

I...think so.

Ironically, it’s usually the same people calling for civility and centrism that also criticize young people for being too soft.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.

I thought bipartisanship meant, “we found a couple of Democrats to give us cover for our incredibly stupid bill.”

I usually interpret calls for “bipartisanship” as “Your side should roll over and let our side do whatever we want.”

“everything Congress needs to know to fix our political acrimony they learned in Little League,”
