I'm firmly in the "Subway always sucked" camp.

I've been a card-carrying 49er hater since John Brodie was slinging the ball around Kezar Stadium. The snark was especially strong in this one. Well done, sir.

I not only think we should tear down Confederate monuments, but we should replace them monuments to the Union Army with the explicit mention of how virtuous it was to wage war against traitors and slavers.

I will melt down your Stonewall Jackson statue and fashion him into Philip Sheridan.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Walsh has been a never Trumper since Mango Mussolini oozed downed the escalator in 2015. But if someone with his conservative cred is saying this, it's clear that everyone not directly smoking the MAGA pipe feels the same way. That's two-thirds plus of Americans.

My pellet smoker is virtually the only reason my family comes to visit.
Depending on your family, that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I guess UMass can kiss *their* federal grants goodbye.

Hundreds of detainees with no criminal charges sent to Trumpโ€™s โ€˜Alligator Alcatrazโ€™ Authorities have refused to release list of people sent there as Democratic lawmakers decry โ€˜inhumaneโ€™ conditions

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell gets moved to a minimum security prison, while the majority of detainees at โ€œAlligator Alcatrazโ€ have no criminal charges and are living in inhumane conditions.

Are we great yet? ๐Ÿ™

If we had a dozen more No Bullshit Betsies in the Senate, imagine the pushback Trump would be getting.

Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Voting is fighting back! There were races for port commissioner, city council and school board on my primary ballot. Not important, some would sniff.
Every vote is important. Especially now.
How well did the "staying home" strategy work for you last year?

George Steinbrenner would have fired Boonie at least a dozen times since June 1. If he wasn't long dead, I mean.

I've been reading your posts long enough that when I heard Keith say this live on SNY, I immediately thought, "That's gonna be on Awful Announcing."

Relax, Vikings fans. The purple will go 16-1 or 15-2 in the regular season and then lose the NFC championship game by 40 points. That's in their DNA.

Bible-thumping Oklahoma Republican suggests his porn scandal is a conspiracy Ryan Walters, Oklahomaโ€™s far-right superintendent of public instruction, responded to a pornography scandal by suggesting he was the victim of a massive Republican-led conspiracy to remove him ...

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

a Trump guy could shoot someone on the floor of the senate and get confirmed at this point

in any reasonable world Bove should have been voted down by a supermajority and should be impeached immediately for lying under oath

"Dead Pedo Bestie" sounds like the next Lars von Trier movie.

In an age where an evildoing idiot is running the show, a well-meaning idiot like Frank Drebin is exactly what America needs!
Also, I would love to have beers with Liam Neeson and listen to Liam Neeson stories.

Trump didnโ€™t need to fly all the way to the Caribbean. Jeffery Epstein lived right around the corner in NYC. And the same bad things were happening there. And that didnโ€™t stop Donald from visiting.

The Jags greatest day remains the eve of their first-ever playoff game (in Denver,) when Woody Paige wrote a long, tedious newspaper column complaining the Broncos had to play these upstart doormats, who of course whipped the home team.
