This seems like more of a loss for potential trade destinations. He is foregoing the opt-in and force a trade route CP3 used last year. I guess sign-and-trade is still possible.

This is very common with immigration issues. People’s ideas of what new, reasonable restrictions would be are often less restrictive than current law. Like “anchor babies”- If you asked people how long it should take to be able to become a citizen after having a child born in the U.S. few are going to say “a minimum…

It’s a play off of “Harvard Beats Yale 29-29".

Also, that first prayer photo features Jordan Matthews in the center. He wasn’t on the team this year.

Were the jerseys throwing anyone else off? Every time I looked away I had to remind myself the road team was in white when I looked back. Seems unnatural.

Kroenke made a lot of money from his own real estate business before getting even richer marrying into the Walton family. He’s a ridiculous asshole, but not an idle rich one.

She could come up with a story, but I think one takeaway of this season is that Paige isn’t really that great at this spy stuff.

If they really pressed on her details, especially regarding her involvement in Elizabeth’s operations, I am skeptical that she could provide seamless explanations.

I did find Tatiana’s death kind of strange. How probable is it that the Center would send a known KGB officer to carry out this kind of hit?

They had always relied on the illegals for this type of thing in the past, and we’ve seen that Elizabeth and Philip are not the only ones out there. I guess maybe there were none…

So what is Paige’s plan? She’s going to go back to being Paige Jennings, college student? Can Stan allow that? Even if he doesn’t personally pursue her, it seems like the FBI is going to subject her to a level of scrutiny she may not be able to withstand. Especially since she just buried her ID documents in a hole…

I don’t think the account he has confirmed to be his is bizarre at all. It never tweeted and was just following the sort of people an NBA executive would want information from/about. I imagine a lot of public figures have similar secret twitter accounts so they can follow stuff on twitter without people @ing them.

Bridges is definitely going pro, and Brunson probably is as well. So from an NBA draft perspective DiVicenzo is likely best off playing next year as Nova’s lead offensive weapon on the wing. He and Spellman could both be in line for some pretty big numbers.

The thing I only realized when I started watching more Nova games late in the season is that DiVincenzo is probably their second most athletic player after Mikal Bridges. He’s not playing your quintessential white shooting guard role at all.

If the starting point guard can’t shoot, why should his backup be able to? It would throw off the rest of the offense. All about consistency.

If he had really young children this could maybe be written-off as benignly misguided. I imagine explaining Trump to a four-year old could be challenging. But it turns out his kids are fourteen and eleven years old. FOURTEEN! He thinks 8th-graders need to be banned from criticizing the president. That is some…

No liquor sold at a gas station in Philadelphia. Beer is unlikely.

We’re so fucked because we assume that Republicans care about a porn star paid off by the Republican President.

The Sixers and Thunder may be done for the year, but Embiid and Russ are on opposing teams for the All Star game.

The weird thing about this whole situation is the House Republicans’ bill already included CHIP funding (at the cost of repealing some of the taxes in the ACA)*. So the House bill was actually ok, as it far it went, and there was no real budget reason not to just pass that. And now the Senate is essentially agreeing…

Can anyone explain what the endgame of refusing to fund the government was supposed to be? Republicans don’t care if the government functions, and don’t support doing anything to legalize the Dreamers. They control the White House, the House, and the Senate calendar. 

If you hold out for both houses to pass the…

This is part of why I hate the term “sanctuary city”. Both sides use it to massively exaggerate what is actually happening. Conservatives use it to imply total lawlessness, and city leaders use it to grandstand and imply they are offering immigrants far more protection than they really are.

What these cities are…
