Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

    I actually enjoyed the hoopla of the past couple of drafts. But the NFL needs to lay low for awhile, if I’m a typical fan. To go away, as in the olden times. Between opening week and the Super Bowl it’s tantamount to watching The Roger Goodell Show, and I say don’t encourage him.

    With the first pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select…Geordy LaForge!

    A horse named “Far Right” got the number 20, far outside right gate in the Kentucky Derby draw.

    Stupid fucking Bucs. Only consolation is that the O-line sucks so hard that we’ll get to watch Jame-ass get sacked every other play.

    @Betty Cracker: Look at this way, if it doesn’t work out, maybe you can watch court tv in the future. Oh that other football player that the Pats took a chance, went to the other school in FL.

    just kidding

    @Betty Cracker:My kid was watching ESPN at the gym earlier, and she described Jame-ass thusly:

    “You know that player who was having a fit at his coach, on the sideline, and jumping up and down, and he got in trouble for raping someone? He’s going to be playing in the NFL.”

    (long pause)

    “I can’t tell you any details because the gym doesn’t have the captions on so I can only read the words everyone prints on the screen [chyrons, etc]. I don’t know the football abbreviations because you don’t let me watch it except if it’s Oregon. So I don’t know what he was 3rd in, but I feel sorry for his new coach. Just on behavior.”

    Pretty much captured the whole picture, even without the closed captioning.

    The Jets better take someone on the offensive side of the ball – sick of how Rex always picked a defensive player in the first round. Hope the new regime is smarter, especially since the defense seems pretty well set.

    @efgoldman:

    I don’t understand this obsession with the draft.
    The picks will still be there in the morning.

    I enjoy the draft. I watch it on NFLTV and the guys there are more interesting, IMO. I love watching game film and break downs on each player.

    You’d think STL had had enough of drafting players with previous major injuries.

    @Corner Stone: He walked off the field after his ACL. That isn’t a major injury anymore.

    All-ACL team: NFL’s rehab warriors

    he advent of arthroscopic surgery shifted the question ever so slightly: Could a player regain anything close to his previous performance upon his return?

    Only in recent years has the paradigm changed. Punctuated by Adrian Peterson’s 2,097-yard season in 2012, it is now routine for a player to pick up his career where he left off — often less than a year after the injury. Those whose careers are ended or altered for the worse now occupy the minority.

    @raven:

    I’m not a physical therapist, but my understanding is that if they are hobbling it is better (relatively) than if they can walk freely but still in pain. Apparently if they can’t fully walk then it is not as damaged as when it’s completely separated.

    ETA, and anyway, just saying that after Bradford it seems any injury should spook them in an appropriate amount.

    How embarrassing that Melissa Stark asks a grown ass man if Irvin helped change his diapers.

    With the 28th pick the Lions take Malcom Brown DT Texas.
    yeah, I’m sticking with this.

    Aaannnd Jame-ass Winston Instagrams a picture of himself in front of a big plate of crab legs to celebrate his #1 pick. Jesus Christ, Bucs. You handed the keys to that asshole.
