Given her background with Evangelical groups and the GOP organizations that spawned from them, she is probably pretty used to going into these purposefully self-sabotaging situations. Seeking out perceived persecution and getting to play at being a victim is pretty standard.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the show knowing some aspects of it, it just hits too close to home for my own experiences, but from what I’ve read and been told by friends who did it plays out like a suicidal teenager’s fantasy of what sort of impact their act will have on those around them. The idea that afterwards…

Great single anecdotal example. I’m sure you have convinced everyone reading this that women are incapable of being firefighters and are just scheming to get that sweet sweet easy money.

I haven’t really followed basketball in a while but Stein just came across so damn likable whenever he was on the Le Batard show.

The NFL has always been bad about this sort of thing but these guys didn’t fall anywhere near as much this year. Mixon didn’t wait overly long. Brantley went somewhere feasible for him maybe a round and a half later. Westbrooks wasn’t even projected as that high of a WR even without taking into account his being an…

Yeah this just isn’t accurate at all. I ride MARTA to my campus along with *gasp* a lot of white people and its just not a big deal. Atlanta’s traffic situation just continues to worsen because of guys like this in the suburbs who refuse to let MARTA expand into other counties because they think it will unload…

Just this week we saw the steps towards Net Neutrality being ended and removing designations of land being National Parks. At some point they are going to jam through a terrible health care bill and tax changes. Its not limited. And on the non-domestic front we have generals not even bothering to ask permission to…

I’m not sure Dilfer can be killed though. Didn’t he get fired last year too and they brought him back anyway because they feel like having a ridiculous amount of chairs for NFL coverage?

Its still not comparable. Its educated guesses at best with those other religions you named. With Scientology we know from the beginning exactly what their practices were. This is an issue with any new religious movement, even Mormonism. Also the ages those other religions emerged in obviously play a factor in how we…

You dismiss that length of time like its a pretty inconsequential factor. That length of time allows a religion to spread far beyond its region of origin taking on often radically different interpretations and expressions. Scientology is still, because of its age and size, pretty localized to the United States and the…

Don’t forget India too. I’m not as optimistic about this being the last gasp. The polling in the UK for the snap vote May called is just incredibly depressing. Despite seeing the effects of Brexit and all the stunned reactions supposedly for those that claimed they didn’t know what they were voting for...the Tories…

It does to an extent (more so obviously with Trump and to a lesser degree Le Pen but not the Brexit crowd) but Russia and ISIS are on a collision course. Its going to be the site of future attacks since they have a long history of anti-Muslim government policies and they are the ones arming Assad. Its also just more…

Well the thing to keep in mind is that ISIS wants her to win. Monsters they are but they are also not stupid. They know that Europe and the US’s move right helps them immensely with recruitment and making their message seem accurate. Electing Le Pen, Trump, the Brexit idiots it just ensures that when they tell young…

If Bannon gets forced out of the White House and goes back to his media companies I cannot wait for the scorched earth tactics he is going to employ on Trump’s administration. Our best case scenario at this point is that the GOP just fights among itself and can’t get everything it wants implemented until the clock…

Original judge is a Michigan State alum and also teaches or at least taught at their law school. This has proven time and again to be enough justification unfortunately, just look at Baylor.

Man, are people pissed about this patch. I’ve liked Legion a lot so far (I unsubbed during Draenor when the content dried up) and I don’t even mind the gating through “research” but there is either a bug, a poorly thought out new idea, or a mix of both introduced in the patch. They introduced level scaling with the…

I think it was on Le Batard’s show while they were doing play by play of the absurdity that is First take that Lonzo was referred to as constantly looking like he is in a hostage situation when his dad is around.

I see the NHL team being more successful in this regard than the NFL just because when the games are actually played. Are people going to want to go to Vegas and go to an early afternoon football game when its hot as hell and on a Sunday, the day everyone is hungover and leaving the city in shame?

It doesn’t help that ChiPS (which Dax wrote and directed) is just one long gay panic joke with some equally backwards themes sprinkled into it.

And you just know after seeing the reaction this has been getting all day ESPN is going to have Lavar Ball in studio at least three times a week now.
