There are 8 Republican Senate seats up for re-election in 2018. Maybe one of them, Heller’s in Nevada, will go blue. Maybe. The AZ seat Dems are hoping for is unlikely. The others stay red.

Democrats can’t request information.

Apathy of the Republican base who have two-thirds control of the government at the moment, and him not doing anything aside from hush-hush meetings with Russia that they wouldn’t have done themselves if they weren’t in power.

Whats taking so long to impeach 45? Seriously.

And yet, the Republicans in Congress won’t be even the slightest bit annoyed with this (though a few may pronounce token opposition), even though it yet again neuters the idea that Congress is in any way not just another arm of the White House.

I’m gonna say the slightly obvious here, but Greg Howard did Deadspin and the world a great service by exposing this goddamn malicious phony for what he is.

Measured, reasoned and informative. All the things Whitlock is not.

Nothing is better than Mark Jackson having to watch the Warriors win another title so soon after firing him.

I enjoyed Mark Jackson assuring viewers that “these are two of the best defenses in the league.”

I admire your optimism, though I don’t share it. Sadly there’s an established playbook for taking a democracy and turning it into a dictatorship. Might take a little longer here due to the relative lack of talent in the administration and the strength (though weakening every day) of our democratic institutions.

Buddy, the lap bar dropped on that ride when the GOP got away with their SCOTUS antics. You know that slow, anticipatory climb up the first hill on a rollercoaster? When the people who don’t know what rollercoasters are like are looking around all confused, but everyone else is grabbing on tight? That’s us right now.

What a godawful feeling it must be knowing he can’t even hope for our government to put pressure on Erdogan. The Trumpists are probably taking notes. “Ooooh, take the family members of protesters hostage! What a great idea!”

Trust me, not half. Too freaking many by far, but not even close to half - more like one-sixth of the total population voted for him and about a quarter of registered voters. Far too many. And far too many people were willing to stay home and not vote for Hillary for any number of reasons - primarily because many were…

Sadly, I’ve noticed that most people who are casual followers of politics(most people), don’t really care any more. I’m guessing it’s just that most people don’t want to offend anyone they personally know so they hesitate to call Trump’s horrifying policies horrible because they personally know people who voted for…

My biggest take away from the game was “holy shit, the Warriors are going to try to run Lebron into the ground.” Dude was out there for the WHOLE GAME. Who’s supposed to give him some rest? It’s one thing to do it against teams that have one or two good players, and have to put the scrubs in at some point, but…

I don’t blame you. But trust me, many of us are just as horrorified as you are.

“You’re trying to make this look like Attorney General Sessions is doing something sinister because he forgot that he’d had one extra conversation with the Russian ambassador.”

“Perjury? I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the term. I’m just a simple country lawyer. I’m not up to date with your fancy northern legal terminology.”
