I was lucky enough to meet Mike here in Austin a couple years ago. He showed up to film a segment for his Trading Up show. The day was cold, windy, and there were threats of hail and even tornadoes. All the cars had to be rushed into a dark, shitty parking garage. He arrived on time, in a good mood, and ready to get…

Good. Now can we work on booting Jimmy Fallon for his annoying portrayal of a talk show host?

He’s not a Trump supporter. He’s a Bernie Bro, here to remind us that his guy was more ideologically pure than Clinton, which to him trumps electability, and being the petulant baby he is he stamped his feet and held his breath and threw away his vote and it’s not his fault that an undemocratic tyrant is in power.

You know, I despise Republicans for being either evil or dimwitted, but at least they believe in something. You’re worse then that. We live in a two party system, especially for president. That’s never going to change (except to a one party system). And at the end of the day you can’t even help yourself.

That’s the only honest political slogan there is.

I don’t know, man. After Nixon’s embarrassing resignation, the Republicans still controlled the Executive Branch for 14 of the next 20 years.

They didn’t want to make too much of a splash.

I live in Boston, and as much as I often hate other residents’ refusal to take risks on big events in the city if there’s a chance someone might be slightly inconvenienced (the F-1 race would’ve been great), we really dodged a bullet when we rejected the Olympics hosting bid last year.

Everyone who is arguing with this guy is responding to someone who started with a lukewarm take of his own that was tangentially at best related to the attached article.

I think this is an important point. In order to be a successful president, you really have to be an effective operator. You need to be able to build a coalition to make things happen. She’s far enough out, with almost no support in Congress that she’d be pretty hamstrung if she wound up getting elected.

No rout at the presidential debates for voters...but for intelligent people I think they will show a massive difference. I guess that is my point. Trump will “win” for his supporters and Hillary will win for her supporters...Hillary will only have to be worried about losing her cool because that is the sort of…

I don’t think the problem is supporting other candidates, it’s that this one stands no chance. DWS is highly popular in her district, and there is only minimal hunger for Sanders-esque policies there, based on how many people voted for him in the primaries. The amount of money that has been futilely thrown at Tim…

I wouldn’t have any problem with Superdelegates as a concept if they were all guaranteed to be elected to some form of actual office.

I got one of these from a resident Harriet Tubman Truther. Which is hysterical because 1/3 of the people in that picture were not presidents.

Wanted to say this

“Central, in pursuit of a suspect, looks to be a red Nissan. We’re closing- Ah, Central, suspect turned west on Fleetwood, we’re gonna need backup”

“3-17, repeat, you need backup?”

“Ah, Central, we’re in a Challenger... Still barreling down Main, couldn’t make the turn”

“... Backup enroute”

It’s a specific definition applied to a certain type of situation, it’s not being used in the colloquial sense of the word “essential.” You’re trying to apply the dictionary definition to a piece of jargon and it’s just pointless and pedantic.

That makes sense. I definitely wasn’t speaking of the matter with first hand knowledge, just sharing some things I had heard.

Yeah no, he wasn’t giving to the poor. He was giving free refills to people who had money to buy the damm food. If you can’t afford a soda there’s free water. But if you can afford the food i’m sure you can afford the drink.Please don’t make this guy some kind of crusader for the down trodden.

So utterly predictable that the Gawker audience, and especially the Jezebel segment, would immediately skip over the 4 kids who raped a girl at gun point (all of whom happen to be black) to focus on the deli owner who refused to let the father use his phone and his ethnicity.
