Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.
I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Let there be snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.
Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?
Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.
I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.
Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.
Their freedom requires your slavery.
Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.
The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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.
