“Well, I might die a premature death, but if that one dude was entertained, it was all worth it.”

Do we need to get rid of Assad? Of course. Do I have serious doubts that the administration has a comprehensive plan to take care of the resultant power vacuum similar to what led to the rise of ISIS? Abso-fucking-lutely.

My prediction is that this is the beginning of a plan to out Assad, have a joint US / Russia force manage the country (mostly Russia). Use this as an excuse to end the Russian Sanctions and allow them to solidify their hold on Ukraine. Putin is happy to let Assad hang and he will get three big things out of it…

Some people are judging him as a dumb hypocrite liar which is obviously fair. But a lot of people are trying to say that this action is good or bad for the US/world in a vacuum just because it’s Trump doing it.

I don’t know what Trump’s thing is. They seem genuinely surprised that Syria is a shit show. I think we should have intervened more forcefully in Syria a *long* time ago.

I totally agree. The line was back in 2013 or 2014... I don’t see how continued non-involvement helps to end the mass murder. That said, I don’t trust Trump to do the right thing(s).

Hey, I hate Trump. But if your only way to oppose him is to lean on a baseless conspiracy theory that apparently involves him collaborating with Russia to commit a false-flag war crime in order to justify an invasion that would boost flagging poll numbers, that’s insane.

“What advantages does this war have over, say, an ethnic cleansing, which I could also afford?”

The thing about bad refereeing in any sport is that officials are theoretically fallible agents of the rules. Yes, some of them try to insert themselves into the game (See: 2017 NCAA Final), but for the most part they’re making split second decisions after seeing things one time at actual speed. You and your fat ass…

DAMN URBANS DOING THEIR RAPS AND SHOOTING ALL THE JOBS

It’s so strange that many of the same affluent, white GOP people who rail on social services and talk about fiscal responsibility are the same ones who were all-in for this plan. There’s endless studies filled with data showing how stadium projects never have their intended economic gains and the tax burden is always…

As a St. Louisan, I have a lot of civic pride about not being associated with the Rams anymore.

Lousy Urban Types with their loud, Urban Type music and their provocative Urban Type dancing. Sometimes I wish they’d all go back to the Urban Type areas they came from.

Because the best use of $60 million is to give it to already rich guys to fund a stadium. And “too many urban types who prefer basketball and football?” Why don’t you say what you really mean?

Unofficial NCAA Motto: It’s not about doing the right thing, it’s about the APPEARANCE of doing the right thing as inexpensively as possible.

My “favorite” moment was Joel Berry getting called for a foul for, as far as anyone could tell, getting his throat slapped by Bearded Gonzaga Big Man, and then the refs going to the monitor, seeing what everyone else saw, and, unable to reverse the original call, giving Bearded Gonzaga Big Man a flagrant one as a…

As a UNC fan, I can assure you that the game was not entertaining to watch. It was agony until the last 20 seconds. Shitty refs aside, Carolina’s shot choices and Roy’s classic refusal to call timeouts drove me nuts.

Well I for one am shocked that the NCAA turned out to have very little integrity on the matter.

*conviently forgets the phantom deflection on gonzagas missed three point attempt that allowed them to get the ball back and make a three to give them the lead

Last year’s game had 36 fouls called, yet Villanova/NC combined to shoot 52% from the field (and 60% from three). What’s remarkable is that NC had to edge it out in the interminable last 3 minutes despite having 17 more shots and only 4 turnovers in the whole game.
