"Well, we know what the CIA says, let's see what Claude thinks."

This will age incredibly poorly.

A post from Congressman Josh Gottheimer For decades, Ayatollah Khamenei led a murderous regime committed to the destruction of the United States and our allies. His evil fueled the deaths, kidnappings, and maiming of scores of Americans. For them and their families, today brings justice long overdue. He was the chief architect of terror in the Middle East — building and directing a global network of proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis — while driving Iran’s relentless pursuit of a nuclear weapon. At home, he brutally crushed dissent, killing his own people for daring to demand freedom — including thousands of brave protesters in recent months. With his elimination, the Iranian people now have a historic opportunity to reclaim their country from decades of repression. What comes next is critical. We must advance lasting peace for the region, protect our allies, and stand with the Iranian people. I have requested a full briefing from the Administration on the strategy ahead.

My worthless excuse for a Congressman released a statement that doesn't say anything about this was being illegal. Anyone who doesn't do everything in their power to stop this illegal war should be primaried and voted out.

Step down from leadership and put someone in there who is willing to fight as hard as possible.

Yeah, this can wait til Monday.

Granted, this was 20 years ago, but when I was an anti-ship missile defense tech in the Navy, there was a reason that we never wanted to go to war with Iran. I am very worried that people will find out why.

(Obviously I'm opposed to attacking Iran for other reasons as well)

I think you should all be more normal about Jamelle Bouie.

God, I would be so pissed.

I loved that show, and it was despite him being involved because of his reputation.

A super amazing protestor holds a sign that says "NO CAMPS IN ROXBURY." The image is from a protest against the warehouse that ICE recently purchased in Roxbury, NJ, after lying to the city at every turn.

That's me and my sign!

Abolish ICE

Oh man, I've seen this movie at least.....37 times.

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

Part of me always wonders exactly what they think "politics" is.

And yes, I have a pretty good idea. :)

I don't think we are disagreeing. I was just saying, as someone who saw it in action for years, why it's that way.

A ton of hockey journalism, and a very high percentage of beat journalism, is based on access. That's not to say there aren't excellent journalists covering a team. But, if you ask tough questions of players, you're going to find yourself out of a job.

exactly what these assholes deserve.

Another problem with this is that my congressman, the absolutely useless Josh Gottheimer, appears to support attacking Iran.

Why is this a problem? We've established that it's completely normal and legal for a country's military to kill speedboat passengers.

a barnes and noble display of emerald fennel movie branded copies of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. the sign over them reads: "It's Wutherin' Time!" -- Heathcliff

thought you probably needed to see this

and he's at least the second-worst guy in USA Hockey's decision-making structure behind John Vanbiesbrouck, who, again, once called teenage trevor daley the n-word and never faced any significant consequences for it.

Welp. Here's the Olympic episode.

How the Trump administration hijacked hockey's big gold medal moment, how the men's team willingly handed it over, and why women are done pretending your "jokes" are funny.

Eddie is ready for bed with his new bear friend, Teddy.

No, I mean that replying here doesn't go to him.

I shouldn't say "everyone." But far more than he should have, based on his time as VP.

Biden's major flaw, IMO, was his stubborn belief that everyone was acting in good faith. We are STILL seeing that from some major Democratic figures.

Is it possible to have a reply bot so people on that other site see our replies to them? So for example, if a hockey writer's tweets are being posted here by a bot account, we should be able to have our replies here be tweeted at him by a bot on Twitter. (I'm never going to use "skeet")

I'm glad I realized this wasn't actually Frank before I wasted time blasting him for being an idiot.
