It really is a two birds with one stone moment, unless the democrats are still stupid enough to nominate Biden after failing to get Trump removed from office...oh, my christ...OH. GOD. NO.

Exactly. Regardless of whether the impeachment ends with a Senate conviction (which it almost certainly won’t), it still has to be done. First, it’s part of Congress’s fucking job to do it. To that end, if the Republicans are going to vote against the impeachment or the conviction, then so be it, but make them do it.…

There’s a simpler explanation. He thinks he’s innocent because his supporters will believe he’s innocent regardless of the facts.

C’mon. No one has ever described Penn State fans as “intellectual.”

Of course. He’d seen his priest do the same thing with all kinds of other problematic priests and it totally solved the problem. He never even saw a lot of those guys again. 

This is bullshit. If you’re going to quote him the least you could do is have an actual retriever interpreter instead of just running what he said through some internet program. 

Looks like Charles could use Urban’s class in leadership studies.

Anyone who talked him/herself into Mitch Trubisky as a generational talent deserves to have him play 10 years as the starter. See also Jones, Daniel; Bortles, Blake; Gabbert, Blaine. A generational talent is a guy who is “can’t miss,” usually from his first day at Massive Football Factory U. There are ways to ruin…

Auburn was an SEC also-ran without Cam. They were 8-5 the year before. They were 8-5 the year after. Cam is/was absolutely a “generational talent,” however that term is defined. I think most people think that term means something along the lines of “is he (1) the consensus/near-consensus best QB in this draft; (2) the…

But in fairness to his shitty supporting cast, they fucking sucked so...um, nevermind. 

Honestly, the Schiano revolt gave me another 10 years of blind support for the players and the teams. But Good Christ, we have some real administration problems...and will for quite some time.

I don’t know what I was expecting when I read the headline. Really. Maybe I was starting from the place that there is no reasonable defense of Paterno and his inaction. And so anything would seem insane to me. Maybe I was expecting “well, Paterno was also a super devout Catholic so kiddie-diddling by an authority…

Tennessee fan and alum here. And, yes, I agree. We’re fucked. Drew’s throwaway mention of the Browns is super important though. Perhaps someone else has pointed this out to Drew, but Tennessee is basically the Browns testing grounds (and has been since Jimmy Haslam bought the Browns). Jimmy Haslam owns the Browns; and…

His district includes Ames but he cheers for the 1969 Texas Longhorns. Still. He also likes 1971 LSU and 1971 Georgia. But not in like a racist way. Just playin’ the game right way.

Fuck that noise. I’m donating to Julian Castro right fucking now. And again next month. And the month after. Pretending the deeply flawed candidate isn’t flawed does not work as a strategy for a general election. It’s like some number of democratic primary voters, democratic consultants, media members, and DNC…

I think he (not that talented to begin with) went on cruise control in 2009 and now can’t get back to his C+ level of not being the worst person any particular room in Washington, D.C.

His dead wife is a teacher? That seems not great.

He’s a total shitshow. The Texas Legislature has somehow gotten stupider since the days of Molly Ivins. (RIP, Molly. A true legend.) Briscoe, Johnathan Stickland, Tom Craddick, and the god-king hisself, Dan Patrick (formerly known as Dannie Scott Goeb, the name given to him when he was born in the part of Texas known…

That’s bullshit. Beto will be fine. First, no one who doesn’t have an (R) after their name has won a statewide office in Texas this century. And no one will until change the convention wisdom of what can win here. Second, Beto’s got as good a chance any to win here now or in the future. Not nearly as many people give…

Some combo of Sanders, Warren, and Castro would be pretty great. Poor Beto isn’t even the best candidate from Texas. Should’ve run to beat Cornyn. If he had and Castro was on the ticket, then he would’ve had an amazing chance.
