Anybody have a stream for this? My Directv app is giving me fits.

You think it really matters, Eddie?

That was some serious style to ease into the playoffs. No backing-in for this team.
The Flames look like they've gotten their shit together the last three games since we beat them. I don't think I want any part of them.
I'd much rather play the Jets. They're struggling down the stretch. But they're struggling so badly that they may not get the 1 seed; that may go to the Preds.

So the news this evening that May is going to work with Labour on a possible solution is a positive outcome. For one thing, it means a softer Brexit (and possibly no Brexit at all). And secondly, it makes Corbyn complicit in the outcome and prevents him from just sitting and snipping.

Blanco Cafe?
I love Blanco Cafe. Go there and then to Chris Madrid's if you need to overdose on cheddar.
But goddamn--and I know I'm going to regret this (I probably only write it because I've decided that I have way too much rep)--but I really like Alamo Cafe. Maybe it's the nostalgia from it being there when I was a kid and growing up on its queso, but it can hit the spot.

Let's be real honest about Congress--there is currently only one lane of traffic in each direction that can flow freely. The left lane is often occupied by people turning left, and the right lane is often occupied by bikes/scooters/people parking/uber dropping-off or picking up. Removing parking and putting in a real bike/scooter lane removes three of those four causes of right-lane congestion.
And anyway--Congress should be (and is) more of a pedestrian avenue. Part of the plan that I really like is the removal of the angled parking.

It’s wrong that I would like to have a threesome with Kasie and Nancy P.
That’s not even a question. I know it’s wrong.
Ok. Whatever. Hook ‘em.

All I can tell you is that Mrs.LL has been watching Beto on CNN all day. It’s the first time in years CNN hasn’t enraged her. And Maddow tonight—which is apparently stop-down programming in my house—will be all Beto.
Yeah, gents—I’m getting laid tonight. -
For what you're looking for, you might want a place in the Paddington area--that's going to be right there at the station for the Heathrow Express, and Paddington is on the District Line, which takes you down to Wimbledon.

Relevant for dems nomination
She's going to get primaried next year. Probably successfully.

Held on through the first half and then put the dagger in during the first few minutes of the second--just like the first leg.

I don't think Trump would be the nominee in 2024, but I do think he will be the king maker. (If he's not in prison, or exiled to Russia)
1) It's the Party of Trump; it has no platform beyond complete and total fealty to Trump.
2) As a result of (1), the nomination is Trump's if he wants it.
3) His narcissism won't allow him not to want it.
I know we've all heard the Cohen testimony and other evidence that Trump didn't want to win in 2016. And I think that's true. But what evidence do you see that he wouldn't run for the nomination in 2024 (irrespective of his eligibility)?

It's never too early, right? The Senate races look mildly interesting--Richard Burr (R-NC) and Rob Johnson (R-WI) are retiring, so that will be open seats that the Dems will be very interested in picking up. And Rubio (R-FL) and Toomey (R-PA) are up and look like they may be vulnerable. But Senate incumbents generally don't lose in midterms in which their party is out of power.
Incumbent senators of the out-of-power party don't lose because the midterms generally turn into a referendum on the president and the president's party. The party out-of-power can do whatever works for each district; it doesn't have to have a national agenda or message beyond "that guy sucks." It's a good political position to be in.
Which brings me to the big question--what happens in 2022 when you have a Republican Party that has become so personalized around Donald Trump? Yeah, Republicans can run against "President Beto sucks." But Democrats are going to be able to run on the platform that "Donald Trump's worse."
And don't tell me that Trump's going to be gone. He won't be. His twitter machine will see to that. And you know that if he doesn't win reelection in 2020, he'll be the Republican nominee in 2024. So he'll remain very relevant to Democratic (and other) voters in the 2022 midterms.
That's going to be a fun one.

@Ghost of LL is. Seriously, he loves him some Western governors.
It's true. I do.
But it's also fair to say that nobody else is doing much clamoring.

Holy shit--that was fantastic!

All 12 Dem Senators have said they’re no votes so Whitley’s confirmation is officially dead.
You know, I've got three work things going on that have broken my way today. And on top of that is Bob Kraft and now this?
I'm just not sure this day can get any better.
. . . or can it?

This makes me so happy on a Friday morning.

That's all well and good, but there's a second problem:
Would they actually vote to remain in the EU on such a short notice? I mean I get that the parliament is overwhelmingly against this, but I have no reading on the population. Are there any indications that such a referendum would yield a different outcome?
I think the polling indicates that it would. But British polling is notoriously troublesome, so who knows.

The problem is, as Oliver correctly states, such a referendum couldn't be properly organized for nearly 4 months, and they're set to get out in less than 2. They're beyond screwed, and both Scotland and Northern Ireland need to seriously consider referenda regarding, respectively, independence and reunification in the coming years. Northern Ireland is particularly screwed with that hard border nightmare scenario, and Scotland voted down that 2014 referendum largely because there was an understanding among the No voters that the UK would remain in the EU. Had they the slightest idea that they'd lose their fucking minds with this silly-assed Brexit nonsense, that referendum would have been Yes'ed out the ass. I would recommend the same for Wales, but they're cowards, so fuck them.
Yeah, but at this point, the EU would agree to a three-month extension of Brexit in order to hold a second referendum. That'd be especially true if the options were "Remain" or "No-Deal Brexit." Remain would win going away, which us ultimately what the EU probably wants.

Whether or not Trump supports the concept of a border wall has nothing to do with actual morality of a wall that already exists and has been constantly expanding under all administrations.
That's true.
But the fact that it was the "keystone" campaign promise of an avowed and overt racist may have caused a number of people to reconsider their views and think "huh--it didn't occur to me at the time that that was really, really racist, but now that I give it some thought, it actually was; I should change my position."

We aren't talking 30 yrs ago. We are talking just a few years ago. Only thing that changed is it is was a keystone of Trump's campaign promise.
Well, perhaps the fact that Trump's campaign was so overtly racist caused a reconsideration of whether the "keystone" campaign promise was unavoidable and inherently tinted with racism.

Just now, tjhooker said:
That is nonsense. So dems were OK with the wall before and voted for it many times but now it is immoral?
Views can evolve, can't they? I mean, apparently 30 years ago everyone in Virginia* thought it was perfectly fine to run around in blackface. Since then, most of us have realized that one really shouldn't do that.
So yeah--one can realize some time later that one's previous opinions were racist/insensitive/immoral, and change those opinions.
In fact, I really question a person who has never done that.
* I cast stones at Virginia, but I really shouldn't. I've attended costume parties before in which white people were dressed up as various black celebrities. I personally never did it, but I didn't see any particular problem in college when my girlfriend (who was/is as liberal as the day is long) dressed up as Diana Ross. In retrospect, I'm pretty mortified by it. And if I was talking to her regularly and I raised the issue, I suspect she'd share my mortification.

No--I'm just going off the Directv app. It finally fired up.
