worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

Run.

Should probably put that this is not the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, but rather a breakaway conservative sect, in the tweet.

Was that before Pavel Datsyuk in an extraordinarily thick Russian accent? That’s the one I remember.

This is like the guys who go "85% of Trump voters still support him. Yeah, buddy a 15% swing in a two party system where elections are decided by 2 points would be apocalypse wipe out.

A dog thinks,"the humans feed us, they must be gods;" a cat thinks "the humans feed us, we must be gods."

Most of these are probably harmless, but "asthma/shortness of breath" might actually kill you.

I mean Maine 2 is conservative. It's 92% of the state, basically uninhabited, and votes like it. It just gets outvoted by the costal urban (by Maine standards) part statewide.

Well it dovetails with Kash Patel's passion (gambling).

This is the administration that strong armed Pete Rose back into baseball, so this is either hypocritical or the facts are bad bad. Probably both.

Well they’re self-aware I guess.

Unless I’m misunderstanding it’s also proposing a pretty enormous aggrandizement of federal power at the expense of states in a throwaway line here

Honestly it’s not that bad!

My father in law used to sneak into the Garden in the 50s for like a quarter and they’d let him watch from the staff catwalk in the rafters. Now I know the view!

At least Rob Lowe was at an NFL game (also his hat was better).

Ok so the funny outcome is just they have to leave a big hole in it.

Orange Man Bad is the index fund of political theory. It seems too simplistic but it outperforms any more complicated model.

Once again there’s no better single thesis for understanding the last decade of politics than Orange Man (uniquely) Bad.

I always read that as Octavian’s faux populism (a preview of the cynicism he would use to bring down the republic) but it’s probably a bit of both.

Also, and this is the least insane thing about it, it seems like it was a 1 in 137 chance, not a 1 in 30 million chance.

Do you think they are maybe less risk averse in a competition where (at this point) the goal is to finish in the, uhhh, top 8 and/or to 24 than in a competition where the goal is to finish first. It's frankly lower stakes in some sense. It's got a little "American-style regular season" to it.

The beer guy was too hasty to get out unfortunately.

Well and particularly here, if it is Mills finding it and dropping it, I'd rather have that than Collins finding it and dropping it in a year, which absolutely would have happened.

Rigorously enforce adding time back in. 40 minutes of stoppage time per half, baby (kidding, obviously).

There's a certain type of privileged douchebag who has always leaned in this direction, but you have to think that the ascension to party leadership and personality-cult status of a guy whose lifelong defining feature is not paying his bills has exacerbated it.

Appreciate putting your CTE on the line for game 7, but no obviously you can't swat down a double play with your noggin.

So Lucius Vorenus would have been a near-elite?

Sure we’re blacking out whole towns for this technology, but consider the social value of helping students cheat on homework and creating unwatchable slop videos.

Canceling my hotel, airfare, and search for tickets. Fuck night games forever. Miserable experience.

No one should have Second Amendment rights at all, but if they do exist they shouldn't be stripped for drug use.
