I’ve been doing some investigation on this, checking the basketblogs, and the way I understand it is- every time you think it’s traveling, it’s not.

To truther your trutherism: it wasn’t a travel. It was a carry, or, possibly a double dribble. But not a travel.

To be fair....it was a double dribble.

Hate to be a highlight truther here, but HOLY SHIT how can’t they call that travel? I think Earl/Dave Hebner are NBA refs now. League is more crooked than Lombard Street.

It was indeed a pretty clear pinch. Which is weird. Also, it looks to me like, despite what he said, Green actually punched him more in the elbow to knock his hand away. Most of Green’s antics are pretty ridiculous, but this one actually seems pretty reasonable. Seemed like Harden was trying to piss him off enough so…

Yeah, there’s a bunch of pearl clutching going on.

Ill survive... Its your virtue signaling that ain’t a good look

I’ve made this argument on Jez to much (obvious) contention but really, I just don’t think comedy is for progressives. Modern progressives are too sensitive and go into viewing entertainment with a list of boxes to check for groups and subgroups and sub-subgroups that shouldn’t be “offended.”

How mature and brave of you. Does your arm get tired from patting yourself on the back for such heroism? I deplore the president but his saying “give him a chance” is not an admission of support. By no means deplorable enough to never listen to a historically great comic again.

I watched Spin last night, and Rich is leaving out a key part of the Cosby commentary - that being it was a callback to a joke done earlier in the show concerning a superhero who resorts to rape to maximize his “powers,” setting up a moral conundrum of “he rapes, but he saves lives.”

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Let’s start out by noting that I’m talking about the “White House” as a whole. The President is the most important piece of that, but ultimately it’s also comprised of his cabinet, his advisers, staffers and a whole slew of people who run the various executive agencies of government.

There’s plenty of time to discuss both, and both are relevant. I’d argue that the competence of his speech is probably more relevant in terms of what it might tell us about his White House finally getting a grip on things, which I view as objectively bad as that can only help him advance his agenda.

Who’s saying that it’s a certainty that he’s “turned his administration around”?

You mean his inauguration speech? No, it absolutely was not. Trump struck a surprisingly negative and harsh tone that most people thought was the wrong move, especially when it was coupled with his first few executive actions & then the ultimately failed travel ban.

Could you please be specific as to who is using a praising “tone”?

It seems to be a new concept that is labeled “normalized”. This term is used to censor viewpoints we don’t agree with.

Nope, not carrying on like Trump is Mitt Romney at all.

When Trump wants something, he has demonstrated he can tweak his behavior in order to get it. If he’s come to recognize that in order to advance his agenda he has to act a certain way, and if his White House is starting to get a handle on how to channel him along that path, then why wouldn’t we want to prepare for…

This is why the left is going to keep losing, they are busy just going absolutely apeshit over any little thing that Trump does and can’t take a rational approach. When the next election comes around they will be like chickens with their heads cut off with no real direction because they have been too busy losing…

Actually what’s dystopian is not having a border and taking one’s chances with whoever chooses to come in, all in the name of some buzzwords like ‘diversity’.
