Indeed. That Knight trade was just weird.

Giannis and Jabari look great together.

House is definitely the longest of the long shots. It would take some kind of historic collapse, no doubt.

You’re well justified in your skepticism.

The single thing that gives me the most confidence in Clinton is that she is the most smeared human in American history. They’ve been going after her for two decades. All of her negatives are known. Her polling reflects 20 years in the national spotlight that, admittedly, includes all of her mistakes, but more…

I agree with you. I’m still rooting for Drumpf.

I go back and forth on that.

Just the ones that make sense: refuses to cut social security, gives some indication he supports single payer health care (of course, if you read that statement in context, it’s mostly clear that Drumpf neither understands our current health care system, nor what a single payer system would be), wants to allow the…

That’s a slightly different issue. Whether the joke is good or bad or in poor taste or whatever, the question is whether a studio should cut it because a hyper-litigious asshole would throw a tantrum.

Is there a Drumpf rally where Drumpf, himself, isn’t dropping F-bombs?

Colbert described him as a “half-melted GI Joe.” That’s not bad.

That’s anecdote, not data. The notion that your experience is somehow representative is a basic fallacy of human reasoning.

Don’t mean this to sound as confrontational as it will, I don’t really care, they all suck, but can you name significant policy issues on which Trump and Rubio disagree?

The line about black kids getting killed by the cops on the way to the theater also sucked the air out of the room. I’m not sure it was a joke. I’m not sure Rock intended it to be.

I see the analogy, and it’s good that you note the inverse relationship (a lot of people don’t get that), but it’s a pretty abstract comparison. I mean, government bond purchases reflect general stability, and the highest level of investment in recent history - during the economic crisis - occurred when the country…

I mean, that’s just absolutely not true. You can go through American history and look at all of the instances where businesses really were poisoning or harming their customers, but they lied, spread propaganda, or just made the callous decisions that the negative effects wouldn’t hurt their profit to know how untrue…

Citizens, Corporations, other nations make decision solely on trust of the choices that our government has made, and when people make a poor choice (Flint, MI), there are almost no legal repercussions to the people who made them.

But I can vote for them. And private businesses can cause plenty of widespread damage. You may remember this thing called the Great Recession, driven by unregulated shadow banking done to elude regulations that required insurance.

Almost none of that is true. A problem with the government is not that it is one of the few employment sectors that actually has labor protection for employees. That’s an effect of the multi-decade degradation of unions in the private sector more than it is a problem with the government (and also, the federal…

And also, the government is not a business and should not be run as such. Consider the implications of the “savings” generated by using a different water source for Flint, Michigan...
