Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.
Republicans in disarray!
Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.
You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
This really is a full service blog.
Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.
There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.
Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.
The lights are all blinking red.
“But what about the lurkers?”
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
Trump should be leading, not lying.
Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I have to agree as well.
I live/work in D.C. and was never against the idea of MLB in D.C. – just the idea of getting hosed/blackmailed by MLB and the mayor who wants a legacy.

Amen. I’d like to think there’s something about sports that makes all the politicians starry-eyed and it’s not a pure, cold-hearted selling out of our money to these interests but I have a harder and harder time being optimistic about it by the day.
The Nationals stadium might have been the stake in my heart on that issue. The proposal (which I presume went forward) to add an energy tax to pay for it which would be waived for residents and businesses, leaving only the Fed to pay for it (and therefor THE ENTIRE US TAXPAYING PUBLIC) was so horrid I almost fell over. People in Iowa will buy our stadium through increased A/C bills for the Senate building? Unbelievable.

Wasn’t there a line item in the defense budget for money for the Nationals stadium?

What’s wrong with a city spending money on a sports franchise? If it were a museum or a symphony orchestra, the loony left would be all for it. But when it’s a regular sport that regular working Joes enjoy, then it must be a big waste of money. Talk about cultural elitism.

Is this really that difficult? You can’t see the difference between a museum and an NFL team? A. Museum. B. a for profit corporate football franchise. One and the same. Really?
As a Los Angeles native, I can attest that Ezra and Villaraigosa are dead on. Jone’s and the NFL’s threats that a team might not go there are laughable. Guess what, L.A. hasn’t had a team in years, and NO ONE GIVES A FUCK.
It’s Los Angeles. Year round sun, beaches, mountains, two NBA teams, two MLB teams, and an MLS team. The soccer team averages over 80 percent attendance, and sells out several times a year. Soccer! Who do they think they’re dealing with? Does the NFL really think Angelenos are sitting at home wondering what to do in the absence of football? Winter is L.A. means 70 degrees. There’s ALWAYS something to do in L.A. Like Villaraigosa said, it’s the entertainment capitol. No NFL? Oh well. It means nothing when there’s always a thousand other things to do.
It’s about time someone told pro sports and their public ripoffs to shove it. I couldn’t be happier that it’s my hometown giving them the finger.
