If a person claims that Trump has the ability to override a Constitutional amendment with an Executive Order they are either (a) lying to you or (b) have no clue what they are talking about. But I’m bored (and I guess I hate myself) so I’m going to waste some time on this.

The issue with Brooklyn is that the L train is down, and will be for the foreseeable future. Until it’s back up getting to midtown Manhattan from Brooklyn can take close to an hour. It’s probably faster to bike at this point.

The problem is that cities are where the jobs are, especially for professionals. If you live outside of a city you might (and I mean might) save on rent, but you need to commute, and transportation is insanely expensive (and bad for the environment, but that’s a different debate).

The Islanders might be terrible, but Ottawa is the team that can best be described as “They’re fucked.” The Ottawa Senators might be worse than the United States Senators. Ottawa were forced to trade their generational talent defenseman/captain because he wanted out. This was at least partially due to the fact that a…

He does. If he did perjure himself he could be impeached and removed, though that has never happened. In fact only one justice has ever been impeached, Justice Chase, and that was in the early 1800's. The “easiest” fix would be to expand the Supreme Court, a power congress has for just such an instance. At times the…

I have yet to find a thing that is not made better by salt, so this might actually work.

Columbus gets a slight pass for me because they have good jerseys, though they have a third jersey with a really nice logo that should be used more. I think it has to be the Nets once the actual look on the jersey is taken into account. There’s just nothing going on at all. It’s a black and white logo with a black and…

And she won the popular vote. These are House elections, all that matters is getting more votes (there’s no electoral college to screw with things).

I agree 100% on Kingdom Hearts II. Great game, super fun, solid characters and concept, feels amazing and sentimental (in a good way); the story is a mess. It’s got a not super complex basic structure, but just fills it with insanity. KHI has a much more sensible story (that is still an absolute mess), and probably a…

It only really acts as a boogeyman to be feared, and that’s really not okay in a non-totalitarian nation. A nation of laws, a nation with respect for its populace, does not have a secret super scary police force that exists solely to intimidate and attack a marginalized group.

The whole “Oh! I’m sorry, did I offend you?” school of “comedy” and “jokes” is just a blight. A comedian (or writer/artist/performer of any kind really) should not be afraid to offend people. But when it’s your goal you’re just a hack. Guys like want to be able to say that it’s the snowflakes’ fault that they bombed,…

ICE is just the most useless agency in the world. The way the Dems should approach this is with the truth: aside from terrorizing brown people ICE doesn’t actually do anything. Anything involving actual security of the border is done by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). National security concerns are handled by DHS. Any…

I agree. While having a high level pro game is great for gaming in general and probably for the bottom line of Blizzard making the game fun comes first. For example stun abilities are a solid way to create a balance, making characters who are squishy be able to stand up to one with some more heft if played correctly,…

My favorite thing is the people who act like he got pushed out of the NFL because of his insistence on inserting Evangelical Christianity into everything instead of because he’s a terrible QB. In his one season as a starter Tebow completed 46.5% of his passes for 1729 yards with 12 TDs and 6 INTs. He only started one…

The main issue (or at least one of them) with the Tea Party is that they are wrong. It’s acceptable to use some of those tactics to fight the good fight. Those who support and promote injustice never fight fair (i.e. voter suppression pre 1965-VRA, trying to weaken the VRA, onerous voting restrictions, racially biased…

The idea of LeBron and Kawhi Leonard would be pretty interesting. The question is how do you line them up? LeBron is second in assists (9.1 per game), so why not line him up as a point guard.

I’m with you 100%. My dog was abandoned, adopted, then abandoned again and is the sweetest thing in the world. Super adorable too, a mix of black lab, some kind of hound (we think coonhound), and maybe a bit of pointer.

Most immigration enforcement actions are civil infraction actions, not criminal charges. Criminal charges mean we’re in an actual court with an actual judge (immigration judges are executive branch employees), and these children then have a right to legal counsel and a bail hearing. The GOP knows that this crap won’t…

He’s also going to lose in court. The Flores settlement prevents detention of children over a certain length. So they either need to to cut the wait times for an asylum case from over 400 days to less than three weeks or they’re gonna get bench slapped.

It’s like Martin Luther King said in his letter from Birmingham jail, the largest barrier in the fight for equality is not the KKK or the White Citizens Counsel, it is the white moderate who values order above justice and who prefers a negative peace that is the absence of conflict, rather than a positive peace that…
