Wait, wait, wait: Am I reading this right? Hannity wants his viewers to complain to Fox Corporate because Bill Shine voluntarily resigned from the network and because Hannity is about to submit his own voluntarily resignation? Um, if an employee elects to leave a job of their own voluntary act, what the heck is Fox…

I don’t know if he’s that clever (his supporters certainly are not that clever).

Two things highlighted by this story:

It sure is funny how the very same people pulled a quick 180 in such a short period of time on this issue ... I wonder what changed?

It seems like there are a lot of people who are (mistakenly) assuming that the reason why ESPN is losing money is because they “no longer watch.” While I’m sure ESPN probably cares a lot about lost viewership, the real issue is cancelling cable subscriptions (as highlighted in the post.) 

Other than Marcotti, ESPN’s soccer coverage is either very “meh” or obsessed with connecting every top player with a transfer to Manchester United.

From the Dallas News article linked above:

MEDIA: “Mr. President, do you have any comment on Steve Bannon leaving the White House?”

Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a simple oversight. Shit happens, right? ...

She definitely got what she voted for so yeah, time to live with the consequences. She’s also pretty fucking ignorant — if your husband had a “voluntary deportation order” what the fuck do you think that means? Do you think it’s merely a suggestion? OK, maybe they were lulled into a false sense of security since the…

To be fair, I’d be majorly freaking out if my future prospects included a potential federal indictment or a visit from Russian “associates” of Comrade Trump ...

Hmmm, the healthy “paying” for the sick is putting health insurance in a “death spiral?” I’d like to hear how he really thinks health insurance is supposed to work ... Should their be different policies for the healthy and sick? ... Maybe insurers should only cover the healthy and just let the sick people die? ...

I can understand why people who self-identify as “hardcore” Republicans (or Democrats) are unfailingly loyal to the Republican Party (or Democratic Party). However, I do not understand why people are so unfailingly loyal to Trump.

As a kid, I was also a frequent standby passenger as my dad was an airline employee. When I was old enough to travel alone, I was specifically told that I had to dress nicely (collar shirts, dress slacks and dress shoes) if I wanted a shot at getting an empty first class seat. I was unusually lucky (got those first…

The level of incompetence is beyond mind-blowing.

Yes. And please do not hesitate to report them, regardless of immigration status.

Every Republican from 2010 through 2016: “I’m going to repeal Obamacare!”

I’ve run into this too. I probably shouldn’t have used terms to make it sound like I think Trumpers are uneducated or idiots. It’s just frustrating that to they view things through the prism of Good or Bad, “With Us” or “Against Us,” with no ability to ponder and consider that governing the United States requires the…

In her defense, the Republican Party is pretty much a joke in Hawaii and has been since statehood in 1959. A Republican did win the Governors race in 2002 and 2006 but outside of that, Republicans typically have no realistic shot at winning elections in most areas of the state. The GOP candidates that do have a shot…
