Because in the fantasy land scenario where Democrats somehow manage to take control of the House, Senate, and Executive branch by 2020, doing so would impede their ability to do all the shit they’ve had to sit on their hands about for the last several years. Never mind the fact that no majority lasts forever and would

This is why the solution for illegal immigration and really even immigration on the whole isn’t making it harder for people to immigrate here, it’s fixing the immigration system so that the process is fair, simple, and transparent. We all benefit from immigrants, in this case quite literally there is a monetary

Counterpoint: The filibuster, while used by shitbags like Thurmond in the past, is also the only tool Senators have to hamstring shitty legislation long enough to get public opinion on their side by drawing attention to bad legislation the majority is attempting to ram through, and specifically why it is bad. It isn’t

I was more alluding to the fact that we’d have to kill them all to find out if their brains are swiss cheese or not, but in all honesty it’s actually a good thing that we’re close to being able to diagnose it in living humans.

There’s not a test for CTE in living brain tissue yet. However some may consider this fact a feature, not a bug.

I have never been a heavy drinker, but on the couple of occasions in college that I ever did drink to excess and black or brown out, you know what I did? Definitely not assault anyone, be it physically, sexually or even verbally, because even piss drunk I knew that it wasn’t ok. The fact that people are saying he

I started playing again last week (the first two expansions were on sale on Xbox Live) and the one thing that still bothers me is that you can’t matchmake for the raids. Look Bungie, I get it. You want people to really work as a team to do these. And yes, I know that there are multiple different ways I can find people

After they do this, let me know how your $15 Bud Light tastes. If you eliminated tips and paid what the state/federal minimum wage was to servers, nearly all of them would be worse off because they’ve just taken a severe pay cut.

Pretty much ever server/bartender that I’m friends with I’ve talked to about it doesn’t want tipping to go away or the minimum wage to rise significantly for the following reasons:

When I saw the first of these videos, I knew at that point I was old. Nothing about them made me feel like I wanted to pick up the new Call of Duty when it comes out and made me realize, have online first-person shooters passed me by? Because I think they have if these commercials are supposed to make me want this

The old Dems are the party. That’s your party. The progressives and Democratic Socialists popping up like weeds in a handful of places? They’re not the party. What you’re really saying is you want a different party from the Democratic party, because this is who they’ve always been.

For the same reason that Trump looked like a deer in the headlights when he won the presidency. Because winning means that they have to follow through on all the stuff they said. Winning is hard. Being on the outside telling everyone what they should be doing, that’s easy. Anyone can do that. It’s very easy to be

Jesus...

Nah, law degrees and heavy drinking pretty much go hand in hand. The difference is judges will either booze it up at private clubs or at home, so nobody outside their circle ever sees it.

Well, to be fair, there have been experiments with releasing chemicals into the air, cloud seeding and such. That’s just not what what people see and call chemtrails actually are, since they’re actually condensation contrails from jet engines. But like all good conspiracies, it must start with the tiniest nugget of

Well looks like it might have worked, Trump has said he wants the FBI to investigate.

I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

On the one hand, aww man, way to be a spoilsport. On the other, I KNEW that motherfucker can see! I’m so torn.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but one that I’m personally slightly swayed by is one published by your sister-site Deadspin a few years back, and I gotta say, it’s not without merit:

CBS didn’t care when the results were amateurish and nobody (including themselves) was making money off the IP.
