He… appointed himself to the board, made himself chair, and then renamed it after himself?

I am reminded of Lincoln's famous letter to Joshua Speed in 1855

If by “incredible” you mean “not credible,” yes, that’s incredible.

Ranking him among active players in career WAR is such a weird starting point. The players with the highest career WAR are, unsurprisingly, mostly guys who are well past their primes and wouldn’t be worth much going forward. Would you rather they made Justin Verlander the highest paid player?

So if those reports are accurate, there’s no possibility of the 25-25 tie with the LG tiebreaker, right? They would need 26 actual senators to vote for it.

I suspect people exaggerated just how qualified Hillary was because she was running against an opponent with *no* qualifications. George HW Bush’s opponent was highly qualified too (not that it helped).

But yeah, he was objectively the most qualified candidate in modern history, if not all time.

Well, now he can count on an endorsement from Matt Gaetz, at least.

Dogs in coats are probably my single favorite part of winter. (And Molly, of course, is particularly cute.)

Look, even if these attacks were completely legitimate acts of national defense (they aren't), treating the killing of people like it's entertainment, rather than a terrible but perhaps necessary evil, is depraved and sickening.

The number of people I see arguing that these men were somehow still a threat to reach the United States, when they were literally clinging to wreckage floating somewhere in the ocean between Venezuela and Trinidad, is baffling. I don’t know what to do when we’re not living in the same reality.

Sending out more checks with his name on them, I guess, but even that might not move the needle much.

“He is being pardoned” is a truly ridiculous use of passive voice.
