I wish things like this didn’t have to happen, but maybe some good will come from it. Maybe these backwoods hayseeds will start thinking, “Hey, maybe there’s a difference between bloviating and executing government policies. Maybe it’s not so black and white. Maybe there’s shades of gray and complexities when dealing…

My best translation of Trump’s word-salad vomit: Obamacare is a disaster. The public really hates it, but they’re saying that they like it right now because we’re threatening to take it away. So let’s not do anything and let the public blame the political party that has no ability to do anything to fix it. Soon…

There’s an obvious First Amendment issue because it involves a public university as an employer. Requiring a person to be of a specific political affiliation to be eligible for employment raises blatantly obvious free speech/freedom of association issues. Anyone with a basic understanding of Constitutional Law should…

I know that Clay Travis isn’t very popular around here, but these two paragraphs in his recent mailbag pretty much sums up Trump:

“Well the leaks are real. You’re the one that wrote about them and reported them, I mean the leaks are real. You know what they said, you saw it and the leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake.”

Flynn isn’t the typical Trump cabinet sycophant who has no fucking clue how the federal government works or about national security. He knew that US intelligence would be monitoring the Russian ambassador (especially after the news broke that they suspected Russia tried to influence the election) yet, the guy still…

Just imagine if the following events happened during Obama and/or a hypothetical Clinton administration:

This is like the third article I have seen where Trump supporters are like, “Yeah, I voted for him because I hate the Democrats/regulations/minorities/snowflakes and because I was sure that he wasn’t serious when he repeatedly and clearly said he’d repeal Obamacare/Build the Wall/Deport everybody, etc.  ...

The fact that people have quicker access to opinions shouldn’t change anything. The judiciary should make decisions by applying the law to the facts of the case. Public opinion is too amorphous to play any role in the process. The legislative and executive branches are already too obsessed with and controlled by…

That’s funny because during one of the debates, I remember he was asked a question about “Mosul.” He answered in his typical fashion, using his pet phrases (“believe me ...” “folks, let me tell you ...” “people are saying ...” etc.), speaking loudly in a forceful tone and he kept repeating “Mosul” over and over and…

Sadly, I think you (and me and everyone else with a functioning brain) already knows the answer: Nothing. Not a damn thing.

From what I understand, the head coach hears everything so they know what play is being sent in. I’m sure he can offer input in between possessions, i.e., “hey, maybe we should run it more to keep the clock moving.” Once the team has the ball and plays are going in, I don’t think the head coach can “overrule” a…

I’ve been away from the 808 for a while but my guess is that Thielen is still in the GOP because she’s a central figure in the party and one of the few who can actually win an election. But it’s true, she doesn’t really fit with the GOP (other than being haole from Kailua, which is just a stereotype). I always thought…

DEVOS: “My heart bleeds ... IF it REALLY happened ...”

Was never interested in soccer at all. I cut the cord last year and one Saturday during the spring, the only sporting event on broadcast TV was Arsenal-Tottenham on NBC. I switched it over to serve as background noise, but got into it partly because the announcers made the game interesting to follow. Throw in the lack…

The 2016 Rams were not just bad, they were boring. A team with no superstar-level talent and a milquetoast coach who is tied for the most losses in league history was a near certainty to fail in L.A.

Yes, basically that is what she is saying. Don’t speak up against Trump because he is popular amongst the ranks of the midwestern whites who swung the election, i.e., “Shut up, you lost. Support Trump you elistist commies!”

I understand the people who didn’t want to vote for Hilary Clinton but I have yet to hear a coherent, rational response from anyone who claims to have voted for Trump.

What I’d like to know is this: Seems that most people who voted for Trump believe that the country is in a real crisis and needs to be “fixed.” I’d like these people to answer three questions.

Another question I have and can’t seem to find the answer - If their compensation is based on a collectively-bargained contract, how can it be gender-based wage discrimination?
