Rating Chris Cuomo In The Art Of New York Jawing thefederalist.com/2019/08/13/rat…
"In Philly, if two grown men scream curses at each other nose to nose, at least one of them usually throws a punch within 30 seconds. Philly is basically covered in sawdust, and everyone is smoking... In New York, jawing can go on almost indefinitely without any pugilism."
"Eventually, the guy takes off his sunglasses, which is essentially surrender. Seeing that weakness, Cuomo goes full Grimm and threatens to throw the guy “down these f-ckin’ stairs.” Had Cuomo walked away right then, it would have been nearly perfect jawing.
"Unfortunately, Cuomo didn’t figure this out. He keeps jawing, admits he’s not throwing the guy down the stairs because he doesn’t want to get sued (which is like a million-point penalty)."

Why do most DC thinktanks still exist when they've had zero policy successes for the past 8 years, with the obvious exception of Brookings engineering Russiagate?
As I've written previously, the policy successes of the DC right thinktanks were welfare reform (Heritage), the Iraq surge (AEI), and judicial shift toward liberty (Cato, the most successful). What have they done in the past ten years?
I can list the accomplishments from @ManhattanInst @FamStudies @NCLAlegal @TheFIREorg off the top of my head ... but their budgets are much smaller.

Jeffries, wrap it up.
This is out of order.
Is this a State of the Union? This is insulting.

Hard to express how many false things Trump says in this one "Truth".
First, not a single candidate Trump endorsed who lost backed his fictional "no exceptions even in the case of rape incest or life of the mother". Literally zero Republican candidates think abortion should be banned when a mother's life is at risk.
Second, Trump claims the pro-life position moved large numbers of voters against Republicans. Yet the most pro-life R incumbent candidates all won! DeSantis, Kemp, Abbott, DeWine, go down the list. And all the Senate candidates who won were super pro-life too. Oops!

President Joe Biden repeatedly directed his staff to silence Americans on Twitter who disagreed with his policies.
Joe Biden should be impeached.
I'm just aghast at this. Can you imagine George W. Bush demanding Blogspot deplatform Iraq War critics? That's what this is.

Al Michaels is so over this shit.
7-6, what a shootout.

Al Michaels with an extended monologue on the NFL hoping Dan Snyder will sell the team.
Chicago should just run Justin Fields every play.

Washington should play Taylor.
