You’re still not doing too well on the facts. Only one of the 4 examples I cited was not Democrats vs. Republicans, you ignored McKinley/TRR/Taft, and FDR didn’t get a “5th win” as he was dead. He got 4 wins, and Truman (who assumed the Presidency for the 1944 term) got a win in 1948 to give the Democrats 5 wins in a…

If the Republicans decide that they will not any Democrat to nominate a justice ever, Hillary says, “Fine, I no longer recognize pro forma sessions and you’re in recess every weekend, therefore here is my new SCOTUS justice Merrick Garland, and here are all the other court openings I filled over the weekend.” SCOTUS…

First of all: you’re wrong on the basic facts. The Democratic-Republican party beat the Federalists from 1800-1816 (5 elections), the Republicans beat the Democrats from 1868-1880 (4 elections) and 1896-1908 (4 elections), and FDR’s Democrats won 5 elections, not 4, from 1932-1948 (Truman did beat Dewey).

We already ran through this heighten the contradictions strategy when Nader threw the election to Bush, “OK, you’ve covered your ass” -> 9/11, we invaded Iraq, and the economy imploded.

I think Kobe and Bird are also more than volume scorers! But I put them all in the same general category.

If you and another coach are having a draft for the best 5-on-5 team ever, Jordan should not go any earlier than 4th. The gap between LeBron/Magic/Kareem and whoever else you would pick in their slot is much bigger than the gap between Jordan and Kobe/Bird/another volume scorer.

I agree that Westbrook is “ferociously competitive.” I just happen to believe that said competitiveness manifests less in doing what it takes to get a team win, and more in intimidating his teammates away from trying to grab rebounds.

Apparently, the real reason why Westbrook took so many shots is that he wasn’t close to averaging a triple-double for the playoffs. Because if you look at these stat lines from the last two games of the season, games that OKC absolutely needed to win (the first to simply get in, and the second to try to get a home…

The Packers don’t even bother pretending to differentiate with initials before last names; the jerseys of Aaron Rodgers and Richard Rodgers both just said “RODGERS”.

The truthers are going to have a field day with this one.

Please provide sources for your claim that the FBI was investigating collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia prior to the election. I have seen no evidence of this.

He wasn’t “trying to be independent.” He was trying to insulate himself from criticism by Republicans. That is the lone explanation for every one of his dumb, ill-advised actions in 2016.

What kind of dumb-ass threat is this? Every 4 years, Senators that are running for President skip approximately 100% of votes. Is McConnell going to have the Dems arrested and brought to the floor?

Rudy Gobert’s right foot says hi.

And that win % against the AFC East includes the last 34 games against the Bills, of which NE has lost 3.

Then you can have an umpire in the booth sliding the height of the (fixed-width) strike zone for each player at their first at-bat. Even if you aren’t 100% accurate on high-low pitches, a fixed-width strike zone would immediately take care of bad called strikes close and far.

Let’s suppose Laura Ingraham says something stupid and embarrassing, like attacking child victims of a school shooting. Can Fox fire her? Under your new 1A, no. But can a bunch of sponsors pull out, causing Fox to cancel her show?

The opposite scenario would be a kind of bizarro First Amendment, where everyone has the right to say whatever they want, but no one else has the right to criticize those statements.

I would love to see Westbrook hit his all-impotant trip-dub average again AND OKC miss the playoffs, if only to reinforce the idiocy of last year’s MVP vote.

You can’t chase points like that. It’s like saying that an NFL team who fails a 2-pt conversion in the 3rd quarter and then goes on to lose in OT would have won in regulation had they kicked an xp instead. The current score affects live game strategy.
