Driving to work this morning, listened to whichever CNN anchor it was interview Marc Short about the caravan/border/soldiers/rocks idiocy. Literally everything the guy said was a lie, and (SHOCKINGLY) he wouldn’t answer questions directly anyway. He claimed “we have a lawless situation” at the border (when of course…

My wife and I early voted yesterday. I couldn’t wait any longer. While in the past I have voted across party boundaries occasionally, looking more at the candidate and his/her qualifications and positions more than party affiliation, this time I voted a straight D ticket. I expect I will do so for the foreseeable…

I have a child at the U. I got to hear about the shelter in place warnings in real time as a result. Pretty terrifying.  Another fatal shooting — I believe of a male student in a parking lot — happened about a year ago. My student’s apartment was recently broken into, apparently by a guy fleeing after stealing and…

It’s a perfect storm of circumstance for ND. He’s younger and has always been the fittest of the big three. Nadal and Fed are increasingly showing their age. Guys like Murray, Stan, Delpo who ought to be in the mix are all physically falling to pieces at the same time. Youngsters like Zverev (especially him) and Tsitsi…

I think the Swetnick statement is actually pretty short for what it covers. It makes me seriously wonder whether Avenatti is holding back some corroboration/evidence. He’s done this before. Wait for the WH or the Senate R’s to deny or denounce, and then unload more on them to make them look foolish. I also suspect…

This. My tl;dr of the article:

His similarity to Trump in his ability to casually lie, and his inability to admit fault or flaw — which keeps blowing up in his face — is remarkable.

The cynicism and open corruption of the GOP, and in particular the GOP members of the Judiciary Committee, is breathtaking. They do not want to hear any other witnesses — about whom the press has already reported — who have contemporaneous knowledge. They claim it is impossible, inappropriate, or otherwise necessary…

Fellow City fan. Klopp has been their kryptonite a bit. I got to watch them absolutely demolish City at the Etihad a couple years ago, early Pep era. He was completely unprepared for the high press and didn’t adapt. Still largely doesn’t.

He uses “fist pump while biting lower lip” move all the time — just as he’s a poor person’s idea of a rich person, that move is a coward’s idea of what a tough person looks like.  It’s a total tell. 

My mother had dementia and lasted five years longer than where Trump is now. The resemblance is uncanny. Her vocabulary steadily diminished. She began slurring multi-syllable words. She retreated to referring to people (real and imagined) almost entirely in generic terms, as “they” and “them.” She made up wild stories…

The shot making was sublime on both sides. I did wonder, as Nadal parked himself all the way against the back wall to receive Thiem’s serve, why Thiem didn’t dink a few short changeups over to keep him honest? Also why Thiem didn’t seem to adjust to Nadal’s ad court serve (wide 99.9% of the time). Thiem’s backhand is a…

The argument — from Bash’s husband and many here — “gosh, I had no idea this was a thing” is laughable and an obvious tell. It has been widely reported in the media for the last two years. Photos of Milo, Thernovich, Fairbanks, Chuck Johnson and other known racists flashing the sign with obvious intent abound.

I think Pence has assiduously cultivated an aura of squeaky cleanliness, but he’s as avaricious and willing to lie as any of them.  

Nah, I think he’s as repressedly gay as the day is long.

Under the banner of my philosophy that Kyrgios does not deserve to be given attention because of behavior like this, I will mention that I managed to catch some of Nadal v. Pospisil while out for dinner with the family. In the second set Pospisil broke Nadal and was up in the second set and suddenly looking…

Sessions will be gone no later than after midterms (my money is on Trump being unable to control himself and firing Sessions via Twitter in the middle of a Manafort-pardoning orgasm sometime in the next month). Trump will be without a replacement AG selection for several weeks because the first four people he…

City FINALLY get an easy draw after multiple groups of death.  Apparently they bribed a sufficient number of UEFA officials this year.

Sessions’ problem is that everyone hates him — Trump supporters hate him because Trump tells them to, and Trump haters hate him because he’s a racist and has helped implement racist policies. He has nobody to protect him. 

Jesus, Fox News though.
