Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

He really is that stupid.

Let there be snark.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Consistently wrong since 2002

White supremacy is terrorism.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The words do not have to be perfect.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

This really is a full service blog.

I really should read my own blog.

    Well, the Preds are at home, so they’ll have a genuine NHL goalie. Apparently when they travel, some Humpty amateur from a police and fire league steals Rinne’s uniform and pads.

    TonyCast, anyone?

    I’m going back and forth. Right now, a song is being sung from a nominated musical set in Newfoundland.

    This is not the South Park movie.

    So my boss and I were in LA Wednesday. He’s from Cleveland. Yuuuuuge Cavs guy. But he’s depressed over the way the series has gone, so he says we aren’t watching the game tonight, I made reservations at this little Asian fusion bistro in Manhattan Beach.

    Great. Reservations are at 7:30. So we meet in the hotel bar at 6:15 or so, figure we’ll have a couple of rounds and head off.

    The game is on the TV at the bar of course. If you watched the game you know what’s next: the Cavs were playing well and had a small but consistent lead. So he’s glued to it, and asks me to tell him when it’s time to leave.

    7 pm. Time to go. No, give it a few minutes. 7:10. 7:20. He says, We’ll leave at halftime ok? (He was super apologetic, but I really didn’t mind)

    So we leave at halftime. But we must have picked the only Asian fusion bistro in Southern California that had a TV behind the bar! We ended up sitting at the bar for dinner and watching the game, which the Cavs lost in the last minute after being up by 7 in the fourth quarter.

    Not a fun time!

    I’m watching the US vs Mexico game as I make the weekly food and prep for at least an hour on this video project due next weekend. I don’t exactly weekend correct.

    @efgoldman: It is amazing that each team can only play well at home in this series. Based on which team gets more games at home, this does not favor Nashville.

    It’s amazing that Rinne turns into runny Jello in Pittsburgh.
    Bruins’ Rask used to have the same problem in Montreal.

    Sissons got HOSED out of a goal. That idiot ref blew the whistle WAY too early.

    @Mike J: They manage to do excellent ice in Tampa through to the Cup final. They should be able to do it in Nashville too.

    I’ll take the point. It would have been great if Pulisic could have scored on that shot that went wide.

    I’m old enough to remember when the old Boston Garden had no a/c. Finals on hot, humid May and June nights could be… interesting.
    One night vs Edmonton the ice was covered with two feet of fog. Nobody could see the puck. They had to have both teams skate around in circles to disperse it.
    I don’t remember if that was the same night (but pretty sure it was the same series) that a circuit board blew out from the strain, AND the game went to triple OT. Ended after 200am.

    what a great game! I used to live near Pittsburgh right around the time when I got into watching sports. Still a Steelers fan and definitely rooting for the Penguins.

    @japa21: @David Anderson:

    The refs were on the Pens side the whole series.

    I hate the Pens, but they were clearly the better team.
    The zebras didn’t turn Rinne into a sieve when he played in Pittsburgh.

    That was in 1988. The 4th game of the series. It had to be moved to Edmonton to finish. The Oilers closed out the Bruins in that game to win their 4th Stanley Cup. Shortly thereafter, Wayne Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles in a trade that stunned the hockey world.

    @RobertDSC-Mac Mini: He asked to be traded as I recall. This was definitely the best game of the series. Murray stepped it up and Pittsburgh really looked faster than Nashville in fights for the puck.

    a thousand flouncing lurkers (was fidelio)

    My conclusion is that the Penguins were just too lazy to play overtime for this.
