This is kinda off topic, but I really wish we could retire the phrase “commit suicide.” My mother killed herself; I never use the word “commit” or “suicide” to report on that fact.

I know exactly what they’re saying; hence my comment.

Fun idea: Chaffetz, knowing he is in deep Russia-conspiracy shit, flipped the usual script and actually paid a woman to pretend to be having an affair with him to manufacture a sex scandal as cover for a more sinister political scandal. Hey, it’s 2017, Trump is President and openly fleecing America - who the fuck…

Cool.

Re: the Coulter cancellation, “she’s a hateful, mendacious idiot” wasn’t a good enough reason not to book her in the first fucking place?

Mr. Acumen - which really should be a name I’m using for the sake of sarcasm in the sentence, not his real fucking name - didn’t know that 2,028 is divisible by 4? Seriously dude?

Somewhat fair point; while that S-E tax is actually not precisely the same thing as FICA, it’s close enough. But you’re missing the point that both of these taxes are only on earned income, which is NOT where rich people make their money.

Eliminating the income cap on FICA would raise taxes on the rich.

Carter Page being interviewed on TV is the best.

The first time I ate mushrooms I at some point went to the bathroom alone and looked in a mirror. I had not prepared myself for how unsettling it would be for lumps the size of golf balls to rapidly migrate around my face.

I also see it; does Kara Brown see it?

Cleveland’s head coach certainly has a worried look on his face.

Those are not NBA travels; they are not college travels; they are not middle school travels. Those are plays where a man with very long legs picks up the ball, has two more footfalls, and shoots.

Up 18 midway through the 3rd, Howard showcases his strength and agility on three straight possessions, showing that he’s capable of overpowering even a good, strong NBA player if he tries ... which, let’s be clear, he only does when his team is up 18 midway through the 3rd thanks to the play of others. Thanks for yet…

Other fouls of James Harden, explained:

A professional asshole is still an - maybe even a bigger - asshole.

If your actual goal is immunity from prosecution, a press release is a very shitty tactic. If your endgame is a plea deal that gets you out of prison in your natural lifetime, it makes some sense as an opening salvo.

Way to double down
