Correction, it was a lower body injury.

It was an amputated leg that ended up being drafted and spending two seasons down at Moncton before getting called up to Boston where it boarded Morenz during a scrum along the quarter boards. Morenz died later with these words “I never thought I would lose to my leg.”

Sad how soft modern hockey players have become.

“Guys, I’m untouchable. You know what they say, ‘What happens in Vegas’...”
“Dude, they’re in Oakland for at least two more years.”
“Fuck.”

I’ve never had a sexual experience that would qualify as a full-fledged event. Maybe a time trial here and there.

“Phew. At least it’s not gambling.” -Roger Goodell

It certainly didn’t help that the media sucks. Everyone breathlessly reported everything stupid thing that came from WikiLeaks. But they rarely questioned Trump about every lie he or his campaign told. Now those same people in the media want to play the victim when Trump or others members of the administration are…

I think you’re right. My undergrad is in history, so it’s in my nature/training to think along those same lines. Oddly, I’ve found some relief in coming to the realization that we’re just living in a really bad time.

I know. How fucking dare the most qualified candidate run. And how fucking dare her colleagues think that now isn’t the best time to run. And how dare women get excited that this is first chance that they could actually have a president that is a woman after centuries of men, especially when countries that we see as…

One, you can’t just rely on someone to be the inevitable candidate, just because people think it’s their time or because people feel like it’s the time for the first woman president.

The white backlash to having a black man running the country the past 8 years was all but inevitable to be honest.

I think she assumed the American electorate was reasonably intelligent and would be swayed by logic, reason, preparedness, etc. A devastating miscalculation.

NYC didn’t vote for him.

Yeah, I hate to agree but...I agree. I hate to agree because that means the electorate is pretty stupid. I hate to agree because that means future campaigns positions will just be “Jobs!” “Strong Army!” “America!” with little to no context. But that being said, every time someone asked her what her positions were,…

Saying Sanders caused Clinton’s defeat is like saying tumors cause cancer. The massive disaffection on the left with establishment machine-politics Democrats manifested with Bernie’s movement. It was not the cause of the voter apathy and sorely-lacking turnout (or worse, the votes for Stein in Rust Belt states) that…

This may just be my existential despair talking, but most of the time I feel like nothing she could have done would have made a difference. We still would have ended up with the Cheeto in Chief because everybody is sexist and racist and life is terrible and we’re all going to die. 

before the primaries were over. they’ve been trashing her for decades.

It is clear that there were a lot of things that were both in and out of the Clinton campaigns control. But I do think the last paragraph hit on a very important point, the lack of a consistent message for Hillary. Much of this is also due to the fact that most voters are not very sophisticated when it comes to…

When did y’all start to get the feeling that she could lose?
