Here’s another reason that shuttering Splinter was as stupid and self-owning as the destruction of Deadspin. We’re leading into peak political season with this impeachment inquiry and the elections, and G/O has got nothing. Way to bring up that readership!

The truly twisted and self-loathing part of idolizing Calvin Coolidge and the Immigration Act of 1924, of course, is that it slammed the door on others of Miller’s own ancestry (who were, consequently, left behind to die under the very kind of ideology he advocates).

I miss the days when I could come to GMG and find a live blog for something like this.

Damn, I’ve never seen Lindsey Graham all done up!  That’s bangin’!

Giuliani’s looking better than I would have thought, given his age.

I know we’re not in a reasonable society, but in any reasonable society, Bill Taylor’s testimony *alone* would be enough to move forward with impeachment...

If the moderates choose, we will repeat 2016.

Theres a lot of that going around...

I looked him up after Splinter was shut down. He’ll be alright. He’s got a day job editing a local paper in Texas, if I recall correctly.

Dude, you’re arguing that over half a million people should go back to a country they might not even remember. I don’t owe you rationality when you’re only offering cruelty. (But I do think it’s perfectly “rational” to call you an asshole for saying assholeish things.)

Again, fuck you.

Apple TV’s content if you look at the list does not draw me. THe whole list feels like they were relying on big list names vs taking chances on material.

If x = y and

We really shouldn’t judge the Saudis too harshly. Who among us hasn’t accidentally ordered someone’s murder and dismemberment while trying to make a fantasy football trade. It’s probably all autocorrect’s fault

OK think whoever is paid to make her sound smart is doing this instead on purpose.

OMG Ivanka! Lincoln picked the adversaries on PURPOSE because he wasn’t afraid of criticism and knew it was important to create unity and keep an eye on his enemies. How did she graduate from college? How are they all this dumb? Who is feeding her these tidbits about real presidents without explaining  the actual…

I simply do not have the emotional energy left to deal with these feckless, stupid assholes and their weak chins.
