Because people were actually watching. People who usually can’t be bothered to pay attention to politics beyond maybe voting every four years are now paying attention to floor debates. Congressman don’t like it when people actually see what they are doing instead of barely listening to the soundbite they give to a 24…

They love to abuse rules. Ignore them when they don’t suit their agenda, bend them to silence others. It’s an illness.

Since I live in Texas, I still sometimes see these “Miss me yet?” Dubya bumper stickers that some people affixed to the bumpers of their pickup trucks when Obama was first elected. I always used to laugh at those....

That tweet was sent out a few minutes after an episode of Morning Joe where Scarborough was discussing the SNL skit, and also the Time Magazine “Great Manipulator” cover, and rhetorically posed the question “Is it true that Bannon is calling the shots?” So Trump obviously directly answered that he’s calling the shots.…

While watching Bush Sr get wheeled out last night for the Super Bowl coin toss I told my friend things have been so shitty lately that I’ve started to yearn for the days of the Bushes and when binders full of women was the worst thing a Republican presidential candidate said.

It’s not what we think - it’s what others will think. (Repeating my comment elsewhere:) The academic research on persuasion, while showing that it’s really really difficult to change someone’s mind (see, for example, backlash effect) does suggest that when the message comes from an unexpected (and/or trusted)…

This is actually really important, because the literature on persuasion, while showing that it’s really really difficult to change someone’s mind (see, for example, backlash effect) does suggest that when the message comes from an unexpected (and/or trusted) individual (e.g., a Republican opposing a Republican…

When I said that I wanted more Asian American representation in government, this isn’t what I meant.

My brother’s in ATL and when I texted him at 21-3, he replied to say the Falcons could still blow it.

This is the falconsiest falconing anyone has ever falconed, and anyone ever will.

My ex insisted that Obamacare was trademarked by Michelle and that she was getting paid (I forget the amount) every time someone used that term. I was speechless. I looked it up sent him links that explained the truth. It’s scary what people will believe. It gets scarier when you google things that sound crazy and …

Hey. Islam is a very diverse religion.

Came here to say the same

In a statement delivered on Sunday night, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told the WSJ, “We have absolutely no knowledge of any investigation or even a basis for such an investigation.”

I know it’s coming. I’ve got sports contingency plans.

Honestly I assumed he was recovering from a stroke that I never read about.

Drunk Bob Kraft was fun though.

Same here. Holy hell has it been a pleasure as a Pats fan to watch this team for nearly a generation.

I will never take this for granted. It came out nowhere in 2001, and it will go away probably just as fast. I’m happy to have been around to watch it while it lasts.

Let me know when Aaron Rodgers starts playing defense. I’m pretty sure he could cover receivers better than anyone they had playing defense on the field tonight.
