This has been Pelosi’s MO since she was Speaker during Bush 43.

Oh, Nancy. At this rate, I would be nonplussed to see her standing alongside McConnell blocking Warren or Sanders from walking into the Oval Office if (with all of my fingers crossed) either was voted into office in 2020.

She is so right. This will only upset the Republicans, who have shown themselves to be thoughtful, dedicated partners in steering the ship of state, and potentially turn off Republican voters, who are clearly considerate and open-minded and almost assuredly would vote for the best person and not just the member of…

Maybe we should ask about her resignation instead?

there are a number of things that are profoundly depressing about late capitalism, but the “hollow a victim out so you can use their skin as a puppet to sell merch” bit has always struck me as uniquely ghoulish

The Center for American Progress is a “centrist” organization primarily funded by monied interests and the ThinkProgress site is one of the few productive and progressive things they have accomplished. What is called “centrism” here is right wing in every other part of the world.

Everyone dipshit associated with CAP should have been strapped to the top of a rocket and launched in to the sun after 2016. That they’re allowed to even show their fucking face in public after that is proof that the Democratic Party is completely fucked.

This is not at all the root of Brexit.

Are you saying people who voted leave are racist?

Double decker taco? Noooooooooooooooo....

That’s actually one of my regulars. Not that I patronize frequently anymore. Now if they get rid of the Cheesy Gordita Crunch, I may never have a reason to go back.

I remember when they used to be ~$1.19 or so and 3 of those would fill me up for <$4 for lunch. I’ll miss them.

I’m surprised they’re killing off the double decker taco, but I guess their numbers say otherwise.

The leap you’re making to assume she can make in-game field goals at the rate of the 32nd-best kicker in the NFL is simply enormous. Fuck dude, that would rule if she could Kathy Ireland that ball. I’d like to see it actually happen one time before decrying the NFL as anti-woman for not employing a kicker. (There’s…

Given today’s news, I wanted to voice my appreciation for this post that is decidedly not about sports.

Just the sheer law of probability dictated that, someday, there would be a Billy Haisley piece that I agreed with wholeheartedly. I didn’t expect that it would be today, but here we are.

The money in that company comes from podcasts, which are a bit more personality driven. Which is not to say the platform doesn’t provide much of the value, but still.

Neither Sterling, Jesus, or Dendoncker reacted to the goals with the sheepishness of someone who knows they’d gotten away with something. Neither West Ham’s or Leicester’s defenders turned to remonstrate with the referees for failing to flag the offside/handball.

Cop.

I don’t mind the VAR, but I still believe it needs to be limited to what the human eye can see.  Get rid of the lines.  Have the referee watch it in real-time and in slo-mo as much as he needs, and if he can’t make the distinction between it being offside or not - let the goal stand.
