Biden would stutter and the media would cover for it for days. Meanwhile this madness goes without any serious mention. Cool.

They’ve got 1.5 starters currently. Duran is expendable with Anthony, Mayer, and Casas back next season.

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

There’s a New Lawsuit Against β€œKavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating. These detentions, far from the β€œbrief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.
