I'm pretty sure OHSA regulations make it illegal to make something do as much work as the phrase "appearing to oppose" does in this sentence
The problem is that the Democrats keep nominating louche opponents of the nuclear family like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, with their mandatory omnisexual key parties and national "God Is Dead" days. Doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me
The problem is that when they hold power Democrats, rather than expanding Medicaid or providing pandemic relief or funding infrastructure, just pass laws banning certain words and concepts from being used in classrooms. Why are Democrats so focused on the culture war?
Nice to get a visit from Steven Levitsky to show that not *all* political scientists speak the Intellectual Horse Paste Web Substack dialect

The key to “left” MAGA is the belief that Trump is somehow both not responsible for any bad thing that he did but does get the credit for every good thing Biden does that he didn’t
It's a real tragedy how despite his firm economically populist and dovish convictions, Trump was forced to be a bloodthirsty militarist with Paul Ryan's economic policies by the executive officials he appointed and his close congressional allies
What would make this Seahawks season REALLY depressing would be if they didn't even have their first round pick because they traded it for a replaceable box safety the coaching staff has no idea how to use
Second straight third down completion on which Adams is neither discernibly covering anybody nor going after the QB
As bad as it is to massively over-invest in run stuffers, it becomes farce when you're helpless in the face of designed runs by a 73-year-old Colt McCoy when his team is trying to kill the clock
I love Pete Carroll, who led the only championship team I've rooted for since high school, but really, it's over
Given my abysmal taste in teams, the "best coach/manager of big league team I've rooted for" I think has only three serious candidates:
For work *with the team* I think it's Pete, for total body of work I'd say Sutter-Williams-Carroll. Honorable mention to Bob Johnson, Felipe Alou, and Lou Pinella
Classic Murc's law. If conservatives wanted to use 1/6 rioters discovering how awful prison is to advocate for comprehensive reform rather than to just advocate for selective impunity, they would just...do that, and nothing liberals say can make them do the former
First, you think that many fewer people should be in prison and sentences should generally be less harsh, THEN you argue that a judge should not act like a Fox News grandpa during a criminal trial, make up your minds!

I am just a country political scientist but my view is that the bar for evaluating the Supreme Court should be set at least a weeeeee bit higher than "did not literally vote to make Donald Trump dictator"
What an absurdly chickenshit call to impact a game like that
Yup. Normally complaints that refs are "changing the outcome of the game" by making normal calls is silly. But this is actually a case of a ref drawing attention to themselves with a huge impact for no defensible reason whatsoever
