You too can win every argument by simply dismissing all rebuttal with a hand wave and an insult.

Universities got way too much mileage over about 4 decades for throwing up emergency blue lights all over campus and locking a few dorm doors.

You hysterical idiots. Donald Trump wasn’t asking Iran to attack LA or San Diego, he was just talking in a completely incoherent way that we have chosen to interpret as saying it would be bad if that happened. And it’s actually good that he talks like that,

Should we have any confidence 5 justices would find anything Trump does of import to not be an official act?

That was obvious, and I've been surprised and disappointed to see so many intelligent people disregard what he clearly meant. There's enough outrage without searching for it.

You don't use 'motonormativity' in everyday conversation?

Does the current makeup of SCOTUS foreclose a final conviction on state charges that cost him anything other than money (defamation nonsense, E Jean Carroll, etc)?

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

Throw in 8 innings from your starter and an argument with an ump, and you'd have a Weaver Slam.

He knows he needs about 10 more for a decent chance one will speak to him 20 years from now, or at least not change their name.

More profitably, they gave him clearance to launch whatever he wants whenever he wants from either state. Or attempt to launch.

If I can't distinguish between a comment and incitement to dogpile that's a me problem*, assuming your posts are clear. Which they are. *Trashing NY Jets excepted. That's always an invitation to join the attack.

Was going to say ESPN would also object, but remembered they're a gambling co., too.

Yeah, but it was Lane Kiffin. Anyone who expected him to stay past the next large offer deserves what they get.

Fair, apologies. I had just seen a post quoting Danish officials saying an agreement was being worked on, not done, and made a bad assumption.

All we know for sure from a 'Trump said' article is that whatever follows has not been agreed to by anyone.

Crucially, Ossoff's fight appears rooted in a moral compass, not (paging Gavin Newsom stans) a political one.

You can hunt for them by getting $100 cash back at groceries. Once in a great, great while, they'll have 2 in the drawer they can't get rid of. Usually with a 'Do you mind 2 50s?' said with batting eyelashes and hope in the heart.

If that was your costliest mistake taking a jetlagged brain into Costco, praise the gods. It's the 3- or 4-digit 'WTF did I do' to avoid there.

1978 stepped on field for 1st soccer practice at GWU and saw 1 other American, a Black man who was a far better keeper than me. Rest from Kuwait, Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, Peru, France, Kenya, Cuba. Happiest team I was ever a part of.

It's an exposure thing. Fortunate to have parents who brought me up on Ray Charles, Supremes/Dionne, Seeger/Guthries/Dylan, Newhart/Lehrer, Beatles, Simon ... All my kids instantly got the reference when I bought a gabardine suit for one's wedding 5 years ago.

Same. FP1 does not play on my laptop, fwiw. Seems the least-likely session they'd want to draw live eyes to.

They made at least 1 change over the break - now showing various feeds on replay instead of only when the live broadcast was ongoing. Maybe a glitch connected to that?
