No snark here: I’m glad basketblogging is back. It beats the hell out of all the depressing ass football-blogging posts.

We’re so far past fascists in the federal government. Just a few months we were just trying to stop a fucking fascist child molester from being a Senator.

It’s disingenuous, of course. They know exactly why she did it. She’s running for president and is tamping down on some obvious potential attacks. It’s what literally every presidential candidate does.
