For now, United fans suffer and all the rest of you all can enjoy us sucking and losing clout as the greatest club in England.

It's not the kill shot unfortunately. He might be dead man walking, but it will be a minute before the firing happens. The chairman is weak right now, plus, who the fuck do you bring in? Everything I've heard is that they are finally starting to think about a long term solution rather than a quick replacement/stop gap. That would make sense right now considering the fanfare around Sir Alex's return to OT on Saturday. He has always wanted an actual successor instead of the 3/4 year type guys that Mo represents. It will be interesting how it plays out, but I don't see an actual new manager until next campaign. There might be an interim some time this year. I've said it before and again, but the Alexis signing was shit and that's on Mo. I don't see him breaking out anytime soon and having a great year. He's money lost. I don't have as big of a problem with Lingard's scoring woes due to him not playing in a system that works for his skillset. Mika is great at times, but lazy. He's not even in the Arsenal starting XI and Arsenal aren't exactly loaded with talent. You're right about wages though. It certainly helped Arsenal's finances.

If an FBI investigation is what you've maintained, then I apologize. It seemed to me by your reaction to the previous poster that you felt that her accusation was politically motivated as the other poster insinuated. If that is not your position, and you believe she is doing this out of her honest conviction to get the truth out, then I was wrong in assuming so.

You did. You said it is about her doing this for political purposes and not for the truth that she believes a guy that tried to rape her shouldn't have a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. She wasn't asking for the political stuff, I was talking about it. All she asked for was an investigation.

Exactly. They had a list of 20 folks from the Federalist Society that are more than plenty conservative and more than likely don't have a rape accusation in their past. Trump used his stable genius powers and personally added him to the list of judges. The Senate isn't going to bat for just any old conservative on this, they think he is special for them and their personal future.

I choose to take her accusation seriously and hope it is investigated by the FBI or whatever means necessary. You don't because it might hurt your team and choose to believe she's a liar. If you were skeptical, you wouldn't mind an investigation to happen. Instead, the marching orders are the confirmation must proceed as fast as possible.

Absolutely nothing normal about the hearings. I don't think a political protest by activists is anywhere remotely close to an attempted rape accusal. Your comparison and downplaying the seriousness of the accusation is weak.

It must be miserable to think Ford is doing this as a partisan game, as you do. Politicians do controversial shit that is part of the game. Normal people don't bring this much shit into their lives, basically ruining it, unless they know the event occurred.

That's a pretty big person to question don't you think? The FBI has resources to do it due diligence. The committee has every incentive to not do it's best to figure out if her allegations are true.

Lulz. The FBI would go out and question the other witnesses. The committee isn't going to subpoena or question any of the other relevant people. That's a big difference. It's a crime to lie to the FBI, which they still convict people for. It is technically is a crime to lie to Congress, but we've seen that no longer matters.

To her it is. You seem miserable.

Problem with that is she asked for an FBI investigation so it doesn't look totally political. I don't think it's her that wants the R's to look like shit, it's me. I'm sure she still believes this is a serious thing put on by the Judiciary committee. If it was serious they would take their time and do an investigation like she originally asked for. They won't.

They have the votes no matter what and if they can keep their old man mugs off of TV questioning her it's a fucking win. Process doesn't matter anymore, just appearance. All they have to worry about is Cruz looking like a bigger dickhead and anyone who is up in 2020.

So they are saying that Ford and Kav will be interviewed by the independent attorney first, in public, then get their chance to grill her. Or is this independent attorney will be the only questioning?

"Breaking now: GOP is offering to move the hearing to Wednesday and have an independent (read: probably a woman since every GOP senator on the committee is a man) lawyer question each of them, and they will not have them both in the same room. Looks like she's gonna talk, or at least is far more likely to talk now." Keeps the bad optics out of play from R Senators going after Ford. This is a great move by the R's if they can get her to agree to it.

Lulz. This shit always cracks me up. Living in Oklahoma, which I consider very similar in the white christian demo, I always have to tell people who get excited about the women's vote around here to chill there shit out. I mostly am around independent, professional, non church going women in my "liberal" bubble, and they all think how great the next election is going to be because the women will step up this time and oust the asshole who doesn't support their issues. You forget that there is still a whooooooole lot of stay at home mom's, rich old white lady's, and ignorant racists that live amongst us. Just because the professional woman see how hard it can be for women in the male dominated society, a lot of women see the way things are a having a pretty good gig. Personal trainers, tea rooms, and Target don't staying busy in the middle of the afternoon because of college educated working women. The female vote is far from a monolith and it drives me crazy when commentators talk about the female vote like there aren't several very opposed factions.

They sent me to a psychiatrist because of some bad thoughts during my relapse. I have since learned to never be totally honest with a psychologist, they have to report that stuff and send you to the pill people. The shrink had me take all sorts of quizzes even though I'd told the lady I had been drinking that morning. Came back that I was depressed (no shit), anxious (very), had trouble sleeping (yup), and then said I was bi polar. I told the lady that her clever quiz was correct, I was bi polar. I'm a decent, caring human who feels empathy and normal emotions when I'm sober, and I am an emotional crazy mood swinging motherfucker when I've got the right amount of vodka in me, especially in the morning. I told her I needed help getting out of my head and something for the anxiety/sleep so I could not die while I was hitting my bottom. She loaded me up with a bunch of stuff that made me not care about anything and actually made the situation worse, because anti-depressants + booze is fucking looney toons. Whole point of the story is I know there are a lot of folks with bi-polar disorder and it must be a living hell, I can't imagine feeling like that and not being sure where it comes from. My eyes were awaken that day that even though I told the "professional" I was an alky who'd been drinking that morning, there must be a high rate bad diagnosis. This is not an anti psychologist/psych story, my psychologist helped me greatly with some PTSD and family issues. It is just a warning to any of those reading this that you might want to take a serious diagnosis with a grain of salt if you think you might have a drinking problem or drink a lot. Alcohol, especially long term abuse can change your brain chemistry so that it appears and sometimes manifests itself into something completely different. Be sober for a while before taking what a Dr says as gospel. That's actually what normal people do when they're down and depressed. They don't drink to make shit "better". Anyways, the bi-polar thing got me thinking and how grateful I am to be sober today. I hope anyone out there struggling today can know that there is hope and a different life if you try something different. Much love, happy days.

Or if he doesn't stroke out today. I can only imagine him pacing and ranting around the WH like the lunatic he is while his pissant children are trying to call him for help and he's not answering the phone. They are all scared shitless knowing the gig is one step closer to being up and no one can bail any of their asses out of this. The ultimate horrible day in Trump world. I have zero sympathy for any of them.

He can't help himself. Just like the shit he pulled during McCain's remembrance/funeral. All he has to do is spend/make taxpayer money at the gold course for the weekend and he vomits all over himself. It lends credibility every day to the crazy stuff in Woodward's book.

That's some brilliant fake news to propagate right there. "Libruls seeking to raise money for released terrorist?" Just ask the question on Fox and it will be truth in less than a news cycle. America makes me sad if I actually think about what we've become. Election Day and our destiny, good or 'fuck it', can't get here soon enough.

Gazprom subsidiary.

That clown has lived a pretty charmed life. Tacky, annoying, and Aggy, but damn charmed. It's amazing what being from Texas and in the good graces of the GOP machine can do for an idiot.

Can't argue with the piece. Both share responsibility, both deserve to GTFO. After a well timed two week reprieve from having to watch the team I love, I watched Sunday. I was telling my friend during that match that nothing in this world is more frustrating than to have your club be a fucking chore to watch. So much talent (as shown by that Alexis assist to Lukaku) and such a shit product. There is no extended excitement, no fast attacks down the wings, no beautiful switching of play, and no real feel for what we are trying to do. Jose just expects the talent on offense to find a way to score. It's all a labored effort to get up the pitch. Thank God Burnley didn't give a shit about showing up because United would have been smoked by any decent team with half a heart. Hated to see Rashford go in with his head. I don't understand why guys don't just shove the fucker and get a yellow. Now they all lean in with the head, and thanks to Joey fucking Barton's punk ass, its a justified automatic red. If you are going in with your head, actually hit the fucker on the bridge of the nose and make it hurt. The misery continues. 3 points. Hard as hell to watch.

Why not both! It's true and untrue all at the same time. Post truth world we live in now, its all feeling. It just matters that he's sticking it to the other guy.

It's actually kind of brilliant in a sick way. "We're not going to give lazy public employees raises until wages come up in the private sector! I'm with the real hard American workers!" Then do absolutely nothing to raise wages, but get all the Trumpeter to say, "He's one of us! Fuck the gubment!"
