Maryland being the notable exception to the rule, “both sides do it” is a myth:

You were rolling, right up until that last sentence. Minorities, LGBTQs, those in need of reproductive health services, death row inmates, and voters in gerrymandered districts would like a word with you.

Agreed.   I’m seriously disappointed with the cheesy “pale white with veins makeup” look they’re giving the virals so far. Totally eliminates some of the appeal of the books. I can’t imagine they’ll entirely delete the power of the 12 and their armies, but this isn’t a good start.

While I love Brees — what he’s doing at 40 is fucking incredible — the story of this game was Foles being hot garbage for the last three quarters. He missed a lot of very makeable throws, and threw into tight coverage too often. The fact that Philly had a real chance to steal the win at the end but for Alshon missing…

Also the Battle of Studio 54.

It would be laughable that she’s running, but for the fact she looks for all the world like a Russian plant who happens to be a member of Congress. Her sole purpose, backed by the troll/bots, appears to be to pull the D candidate discussion into the mud and over toward Trumpist positions. If she’s aware of this she’s…

And who actually knows something about the details.

I vaguely recall in 2016 there was a self-described progressive faction whose posture was more or less: “If it takes Trump getting elected to change things around here, so be it. That’s the price of progress. Better than having a warmongering corporate shill with a D next to her name.”

OPEC builds tunnels?

After the AP’s ridiculous and moronic “fact check” tweet following Trump’s Oval Office address, I’m inclined never to believe anything they tweet ever again.

I have similar feelings about Doris Burke (who as an interviewer often treats the subject of basketball as if she were discussing world peace with the president and often throws out 75 cent words while interviewing NBA players). I find the divide is similar for her.

I sigh deeply when I watch some of her appearances. “He should really be defending why we are funding such an agency at all.” Sigh. No, no, no. The answer to Trump’s over the top insanity is not equal and opposite reaction. It’s return to facts, facts, facts, and specific, defensible policy prescriptions. Yes, I know…

Shyamalan noted that he’s only able to get away with that kind of misdirection because of the low-budget movie-making niche into which he’s settled in recent years

While Harris would be the best in a vacuum (her performances in committee have been remarkable), I can’t imagine leadership allowing anyone who is an actual or likely presidential candidate to do it, lest they be accused of favoritism.

And Trump makes an addled threat to declare a national emergency in the face of zero evidence of a crisis (other than the humanitarian one created by Trump himself). Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham literally calls Nancy Pelosi “crazy” and says GOP will only negotiate with old white guys, desperately trying to get everyone…

No, no, no. The clear solution is: Chris Cillizza v. Chuck Todd Chainsaw Death Match.

There are two kinds of people. Those who find Bill’s self-important schtick while sporting a tie-die Dead t-shirt endearing, and those who turn the channel lest he cause them to claw their own eyes out to distract from the agony that is listening to him. I am in the latter camp.

THIS. I feel better for the kid knowing the real immediate issue was his blockers failed to do their job, but this is the standard and correct comeback for most (at least long) critical end of game missed kicks: STFU, because your team wouldn’t have been in that position to begin with had the offense not been putrid,…

My read: She (along with several others, but she gets most attention because she’s young, attractive and outspoken, so media bait) is helping to shift the discussion leftward. An unavoidable side-effect is getting the Trump rubes fired up for random and stupid reasons.

I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Beto.
