  1. If Trump fires the Ukraine policy expert on the NSC in retaliation for him testifying to Congress pursuant to a subpoena, you might as well start the trial right then.
  2. Because you're stupid, Donnie. Because you're stupid.
  3. I can't believe someone is actually arguing that's not a foul.
  4. We always have been.
  5. Welp, I guess we shouldn't look forward to overtaking Leicester on goal diff any time soon.
  6. My wife surprised me with a bottle of Blanton's for my birthday. So yeah, good times.
  7. I think he meant to say "You'll have health care the likes of which you'll never see."
  8. Mine wants to go more than I do. Me: It sounds fun, but we're going to have to get up really early. Her: Yeah, but Alan Shearer and Ashley Cole are going to be there. Me: Fuck it, let's go.
  9. Because an investigation where the suspect is permitted to sit in during interviews with witnesses is a bad investigation. Employers, universities, law enforcement federal agencies--none of them permit suspects to participate in the investigatory process with the exception of giving their own interview and providing their own documents. Why? Because it's stupid to permit a suspect to hear what other witnesses have to say. It's only once the investigation proceeds to an adjudicatory phase that the suspect is permitted to hear the evidence against them and cross examine witnesses. We aren't there yet. Republicans know this. Most of the right wing media know this. But the facts coming out thus far in the investigatory phase are so bad that Republicans and right wing media are misleadingly attacking the investigation as unfair despite it following the same process as virtually every other type of investigation that is done. It would be stupid for the Democrats to change the fundamental nature of an investigation, thereby undermining it, because Republicans and right wing media are lying, hypocritical pieces of shit. But I'm sure you knew that and you were only asking question.
  10. Anyone else going to fan fest this weekend?
  11. We should have won about 3 or 4-0, but we missed a few sitters and CHO clearly didn't have the legs. With the exception of an Ajax goal called back by VAR for offside (correct call), Ajax never really felt threatening. Our D was actually solid. Fuck yeah. Goal in 90 + 5 for the tie. Thanks, Lille.
  12. 5'11" and about 160-165. So according to that chart, I'm pretty much perfect. Validation.
  13. When you have to google search the definition of the word lynch to prove a point, you've already lost the argument. But if you want to base your argument on a 5 second internet search, here's a wikipedia entry on lynching in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States. First two sentences of the background: "After the Reconstruction era, most of the South was politically dominated by white men (and later white women). Lynchings were used to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism." Let's look at social characteristics: "A major motive for lynchings, particularly in the South, was the white society's efforts to maintain white supremacy after emancipation of slaves following the American Civil War." I understand that people don't like the term white privilege. But when your understanding of the term lynching comes from fucking western movies without any understanding the its terroristic uses by whites against blacks during the Reconstruction and Jim Crow Eras (and beyond), that's fucking white privilege.
  14. The connotations of the word haven't shifted. You just weren't aware.
  15. Poor man management by Lampard in starting CHO today. He's clearly tired and his legs are not doing what he wants and expects them to do. I get that it's CL, but CHO coming back from injury and having played in 5 games over 3 1/2 weeks is not better than Pulisic who's played something like 60 minutes over that time span.
  16. He's such a little bitch.
  17. Maybe using movies made by white people about white people who are heroes to white people isn't the best place to get your history lessons on race-motivated attacks.
  18. Republicans are real big on framing racist and sexist polices as 'states' rights' and pro-wealther/anti-middle/lower class economic policies as 'free market economics.' In short, they are full of shit and they take advantage of stupid and hateful people to pass policies that hurt a majority of those stupid and hateful people.
  19. Yeah, but your baby is Latina. And we both know that he wasn't referring to brown babies when he mentioned good genetics and high IQ.
  20. Ted Cruz: I know everything about the Constitution, so you should vote for me. Also Ted Cruz: What's an emolument?
  21. I guess I'll see it in theaters at some point, but I'm not excited for this at all.
  22. If they won, they would have been at 18 points and hopped both us and LC into 3rd. A tie, and we would be ahead by a point.
  23. Nine games into the season and we are sitting in 4th place (thanks to Arsenal losing the Sheffield), two points back from 2nd place. That's much better than I would have thought possible considering our injury issues, transfer ban, and losing Hazard.
  24. Boo-fucking-hoo.
