I hope McNair refuses the eventual settlement offer. This is one of those cases where the toxic publicity plus likelihood of defeat might draw a greater-than-requested settlement award from the corporation, basically giving McNair a full win, plus monetizing the accompanying non-disclosure. I just hope McNair wants to…

Eh, late to the party again, Bill. I was telling my friend, The Slush, just last month during out weekly poker game about the KD-to-Boston rumors that I made up on the spot.

See, Bill, we know that’s bullshit because nobody who’s been to Boston loves Boston. That’s why you live in LA.

How was he going to wax anyone in the general election if he can’t even win the republican nomination?

We have an ongoing feature where Burneko writes about presidential candidates the day after they drop out of the race. Marco Rubio dropped out yesterday, thus a post today. It’s insulting because Rubio is bad, for reasons you can read about if you scroll up.

I don't know what you're talking about. So far as I can tell this is the first thing we have ever published about Marco Rubio.

In the words of Marco Rubio, “ I am the panda of Dumbledore, through whom America dreams its ice creamery. As God is my witness before me, America applesauce applesauce.”

The son of immigrants, who sniveled his way to some prominence, only to to be smashed under the slanderous bootheel of a billionaire.
He really lived the American Dream to its fullest.

No need. Rubio decided his Senate seat was secondary to his presidential hopes; he is not running.

Wrong. Humorous, but wrong.

Author here (IN THE GREYS). A couple points. First, then-Senator Obama’s support for a filibuster was based on his gripes with Justice Alito’s ideology. So far, it looks like any GOP filibuster would be based on...running out the clock on any nominee regardless of their beliefs. It’s OK for senators to disapprove of a…

So...uh...I don’t want to be a pedant here, but “Supported the possibility of a filibuster” and “Actually filibustered” are two VERY different things.

I cannot wait to read your treatise on jurisprudence: What I heard in talking points on Fox News and vaguely remember from third grade.

If the Senate wants to filibuster a vote, fine, that’s a tactic that they can use if they feel it’s necessary. What’s not okay is not even holding hearings. The Senate should hold hearings with Judge Garland, and can then decide from there whether to vote no and/or filibuster him. That’s the scenario that you’re…

My favorite part of political discourse is when those clearly lacking any understanding of the most basic concepts of civics inform everyone on the intricacies of Constitutional scholarship in between slurps of their Big Gulp.

This whole process will be fascinating. I couldn’t figure out why it took so long to pick a nominee (most regular vetting wouldn’t take this long) and then I realized it had to be both someone with an unimpeachable record AND someone who was willing to be nominated, knowing they may never be confirmed.

Listening to the…

Then I imagine most conservative members of the Senate will take “consent” the way they do in other scenarios. Where silence mean “yes” and “no” means “probably.”

Except they refuse to advise or consent thus leaving us with 8 justices for what could be well over a year with some very important cases coming up. The Senate not doing their job at all is not the same as the Senate valiantly keeping that crazy dictator Barrack Hussein Obama in check for us voters. We actually…

This is like a bank asking for a bailout after all their executives mishandled millions in other peoples’ money. Like that would ever happen!

I’m going to go way out on a limb and guess that the Goose has strong opinions on Black Lives Matter.
