He shit on the Tigers for the first 12 years he owned them, so you can’t even give him that

Agreed. I’ve no skin in the game on this Detroit fiasco, but research has shown that the public gets nothing out of these stadium deals except lost tax revenue. And typically the owners are not only getting rent-free land and public financing of the stadiums, but they’re usually keeping all proceeds from tickets,…

The foulest city in the nation, a swirling cesspool of political corruption that has not”come back” because when you’re at zero, anything is better, has just doubled down, the only bolder thing they could have done is indicate they want to build it in Flint.

I can’t believe anyone could be so fucking credulous and biased as to believe this. Republicans worked with Democrats to craft every fucking part of the ACA. Go home, you’re drunk.

I have a diehard Detroit native co-worker who shares nearly all my own political views. He also would join with me to call any public funding for privately owned stadiums the scams that they so obviously are/were... until DETROIT.

Is the “remarkable comeback story” Detroit is writing about how it will inevitably return to bankruptcy after spending hundreds of millions on a project with little economic benefit to its residents?

I tried to get some coworkers to start a game of ‘the floor is lava’ at a super boring retreat and they looked at me like I was asking if they wanted to get naked and do crack.

Yeah, someone let us know the first time McCain actually does anything besides fall in line.

Even beyond the utterly ludicrous false equivalencies, I’m really amused that latest right-wing talking point is, “You know Obamacare? That thing we have spent years screaming about and claiming was the worst thing that ever happened to America? This bill is just like that, so you can’t criticize it!”

Especially given that apparently his primary motivation in life is rage. Every biographer who’s ever written about him talks about how angry he is, and how it explains much of his behavior. Remember earlier this year when he voted against a Republican anti-environment bill out of spite over Comey?

Yeah, I held out some hope too. I remember putting some hope in Lindsey Graham, too. Those were the days (what like 4 months ago).

Honestly, I think he’s doing himself more harm than good. He has drawn in a lot of hate from the right based on not being undying in his support for Trump - and you know those supporters only listen to Tweets and Fox News. Then here on the left, we’re like OK GREAT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE and he disappoints us. He’s…

The bill that was online and available to read for over a year before it was passed? The bill that was negotiated on with Republicans for over a year before it was passed? The bill that Republicans began voting down their own amendments simply to delay it before it was passed?

The problem is that the DNC decided to sell their soul to the same corporate overlords that own the RNC. The DNC has been paid to lose.

You’re bad at this. Try again, stupid.

GOP ‘18: We Hate You And Want You To Die And You’ll Never Know Why or How We Accomplished That (picks up 3 Senate seats, 10 House seats)

Why are they doing this? Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream! 

Yeah, that Arabian horse work really came in handy after Hurricane Katrina.

Oh, boy, the Fyre Festival of urban housing.

When you risk the lives of tens of thousands of americans with these draconian cuts to healthcare, what the fuck do you is going to happen? You kill someone’s parent, someone’s spouse, someone’s child because of rationing medicine, what do you think is going to happen? Republicans think they are gods, they think they…
