Not to mention all the advancements in strength and conditioning training, nutrition, integration of technology into scouting, etc ...

But this is actually a pretty fucking important detail:

If Trump truly embraces “chaos” as his preferred management style, then he come out and admit that he colluded with Russia to win the election just to fuck with Spicer and with Fox News.

It’s like they don’t remember that they lost an election to this guy seven months ago ...

There’s already a lot of replies which express my same skepticism about the Democratic Party’s ability to make any gains in 2018, but my quick observations:

You know at this point, if I were advising Trump, I’d say just fucking admit you colluded with the Russians. Come right out and say, “Yep, I sought out their help because I see a Putin as a kindred spirit, we have a shared interest in eliminating ISIS and bringing about peace. We also share common interests in making…

As a fourth generation AJA who studied the history of Japanese immigration to the U.S., his “sorry-not-sorry apology” was total bullshit.

I completely agree. He was in a no-win situation with respect to sending the letter to Congress right before the election regarding the new discovery. He knew it would come out eventually and really, the most honest thing to do is to disclose it as quickly as possible. People conveniently forget that it was that…

One of the downsides of the Internet and Cable TV’s 24-hour news cycle is that political coverage is now available to people who are too stupid to understand and digest complex issues and also too stupid to realize how out of depth they are on the important issues.

Don’t give this administration any ideas:

The sad thing is, the statement doesn’t have to fit the audio for certain segments of the electorate. It contains the right code words “liberal journalist” and that’s going to be more than enough to believe the statement over the audio, the eye witnesses, etc.

That’s what I’m thinking; if I were working on his campaign, and we were colluding with/working with the Russians, there’s no way you can tell Trump about it directly because he would brag about it at all his stupid rallies and blab about it to the press!

I also don’t believe there’s any conspiracy theories out there, but based on the timeline of events, this is actually much more plausible.

I have to think it’s the “Access Hollywood” tape and the article from the People Magazine writer during the campaign. She probably suspected that he’s been unfaithful to her, but he did one of his standard denials and she had no proof so she took him at his word.

The Freep article doesn’t mention how the Lions prorated the signing bonus (it does say that signing bonuses can be prorated for up to 5 years) so it isn’t clear how much of CJ’s signing bonus from his Spring 2012 extension was prorated into 2016 - it just says that the Lions could have recouped up to $3.2 million of…

It’s funny you say that because my alma mater is in the same conference as Nevada and faced Kaepernick 4 times and I noticed this too. He has a rocket arm but his accuracy and touch are very inconsistent.

Vaguely. In hindsight, she probably should have lobbied for NSA Director.

Not sure how involved Ivanka is, but the implication I get from the latest cache of reports is that Jared is up to his eyeballs in this mess which is why he doesn’t want Mueller looking into this matter.

When the whole Flynn “lying” about talking to Kislak story came out way way way back in January (seems so long ago) I kept thinking to myself: “How could a man who rose to the rank of Lieutenant General be this fucking dense?”

People of Schilling’s ilk will cite to a random, anonymous Facebook posts as a 100 percent incontrovertible fact when the subject matter is something like transgender people behaving like sexual predators while going to the bathroom or the Clintons running a child-sex traffic operation out of a random D.C. pizza…
