He sounds a lot like Joe Jackson to me.

Well, they said Obama didn't have enough experience to be president, buy they didn't seem to mind that Trump hadn't even so much as interviewed for a job in his entire life.

In their minds the "other people" aren't the city folk, its mostly black folk. So when they hear 23 million are going to lose health insurance, they think "Good, the black and brown people don't deserve it anyway." It almost doesn't matter that they are going to be hurting as well, because at this point, the loss is…

You, sir, have described my browser history.

That's a VERY good question. I watched the first season of UTD and the pilot for this, and they are almost EXACTLY the same.

Charade they are!

Did they also do "Last Cigarette"? Because that song was pretty fucking good as I recall.

I liked Tom Goes to the Mayor more than I like any of their of their other stuff. I agree that Tom had a framework with weird details, while most of their other stuff throws out the framework and just focuses on the weird details.

Turkey.

The Baseball Project is awesome. It's more often Mike Mills than Peter Buck, if you get my meaning. And my meaning is that Mike is a regular player in the group, and Peter is not.

I think Ruben Blades is a very compelling actor, and his character is great, but this episode showcased at WORST tendencies both franchises have. They couldn't adequately explain how his character survived the fire (the building collapsed?), because there really is no reason he should have. Then they have a dog save…

I think in this political environment it is a VERY high bar to clear.

No, I'm referring specifically to this:
RISCH: I remember, you talked with us shortly after February 14th, when the "New York Times" wrote an article that suggested that the trump campaign was colluding with the Russians.
…
RISCH: Okay. So again, so the American people can understand this, that report by the New York…

During the coverage of Nixon's funeral, where people were on TV talking about what a great man he was despite "some troubling aspects" of his presidency, a friend of mine turned to me and said, "What do you have to do to die in disgrace in this country?"

Marco Rubio has very large ears. And he's a flaming bag of shit.

Yes, it was clearly an attempt at intimidation. That kind of threat only works if the OTHER person is also a lying scumbag though.

Agreed. It's the language of a New York scumbag. Christie himself tried to play it off by saying, "That's just how guys in New York talk to each other." But, his party will claim that since he never explicitly said "stop" everything is up for interpretation. They'd be reluctant to impeach Trump even if he was…

I'm actually not missing anything for anything else. I agree that Trump is a danger to this country and this planet, but if you think the Republican party is going to turn on him based on yesterday's testimony, I've given you their rationale for not doing so.

If you watched the hearing, the Republicans very carefully parsed the phrasing of what Trump said repeatedly stressing that "I hope" isn't the same thing as "you should do this." Now you could argue that clearing the room, and the fact that it's the president saying "I hope" mean that he really asked Comey to stop…

In a weird funhouse mirror way, yesterday did kind of vindicate Trump. They got Comey to declare the failing, sad NY Times as fake news, he did admit to telling Trump three times that he wasn't under investigation (which Trump has claimed, although I bet he's under investigation NOW), and they essentially got Comey to…
