Most pols would have to pay consultants millions of dollars for what McConnell gave Warren for free

A campaign tag line that leaves a lasting impression.

Dredd Scott, Plesey, Roe v Wade, Loving v. VA, Lawrence v. Texas, Obergfell v Hodges,...

And now State of Washington v. Trump over travel ban.

One the biggest benefits to being a White, Christian, heterosexual male in the U.S. is that you don't have to ever go begging a court to recognize your humanity and your full citizenship rights to exist in this country.

We need a Trump holiday. A national day where we don't talk about Trump at all.

A day where we completely ignore his tweets. Trump is taking up too much space in our lives. Every segment on every MSNBC show is about Trump. Every joke, every topic of discussion on Real Time and Samantha Bee's show is about Trump. The first skits on SNL are Trump skits. Even on the day of the Superbowl, Trump made news with his "killers" comment.

Can we just have one day without Trump? Just one day where we're not 100% focused on him and his every word. To quote Madonna"

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be
It would be so nice
Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday
If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be
It would be so nice

It doesn't matter to his supporters that Trump and his cronies lie...

so long as his lies confirm their world view. That's the secret sauce to Fox News' success. Give the viewers the news that they want to see and hear, not the news that is the truth.

Are we in a Super team era?

NFL has the Pats.
CFB has the Tide.
NBA has the Warriors.
MLB has the Cubs.
Women's College Basketball has the UConn Huskies.

That leaves Men's College Basketball where things appear to be wide open and anybody can win. Despite drafts, salary caps, scholarship limits, etc., these teams seem to be in the mix for championships season after season. Why is this? What makes these teams so special? Why don't other organizations duplicate what they're doing?
