There are reasons why Keisha Lance Bottoms (are we really going to give her the JFK/FDR moniker?) might be a bad general election candidate,
but none of these are it.

The center says has it has learned from its mistakes. In practice, its voters keep lining up behind electoral poison. Here’s the untold story behind KLB, Actually Existing Centrism, and why the left is the only real alternative to electoral oblivion. ettingermentum.news/p/keisha…

Verhoeven got saved by the bell. Usyk would’ve leveled him in the 12th. Ref made the right call.

The surprising thing isn’t that a Mormon dude who went to Ole Miss is MAGA, it’s that his walk up music is “Eye of the Tiger.” For a second I thought he was announcing he was going back to college to play for Lane Kiffin at LSU.

Tim Denson (38%) and Dexter Fisher (28%) headed to a runoff in Athens mayor’s race. Ed Tolley, Patrick Davenport and Tiffany Taylor won their commission races. Kimberly Bennett and Craig Topple in a D5 runoff. Possibly Ovita Thornton and Tracy Smith in D9.

Impeccable logic: I left Ole Miss because I thought I’d have a better chance of winning a natty at LSU, but maybe if I’d stayed at Ole Miss we would’ve won a natty.
Dude must’ve majored in basket weaving at the academic powerhouse of *checks notes* Fresno State
NEW: Lane Kiffin to @whalexander_ on not coaching Ole Miss in the CFP after taking the LSU job:
“Obviously, I wish the timing was different. There was no way around it. Tried to do everything possible to still coach and, obviously, that was (athletic director Keith Carter’s) decision and understandable. Do I still wish that had happened? Yeah, I do. I wish that would have been allowed to happen.
Maybe we would have won it all.”

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” - Sun Tzu
Christie: If I were running the DCCC right now, I would take every Democratic candidate incumbent challenger, and send them to Turks and Caicos until November. Say nothing. Do nothing. Shut up. You sound stupid too. But if you go until November, you will not piss anybody off.

Wild that the 60-year-old Braves manager got involved, but then I remembered a story @RealCJ10 told about how nobody was worried when Jose Canseco charged the mound because Walt Weiss is an MMA fighter.

So much revisionist history in the comments. Dems had the trifecta for two years under Obama and passed the stimulus, ACA and Dodd-Frank. GOP took the house in 2010. Reid had to partially blow up the filibuster to get judges confirmed, which is why Dems can’t block Trump’s.
Some of you need to take a basic civics lesson on the United States federal government. There is nothing Democrats can do to stop what's going on right now. You gave Republicans all the power. Start calling for THEM to do something.

Elder is the only MLB pitcher with eight quality starts going back to Aug. 24. Fried, Yamamoto, Skubal and Alcantara were the only other pitchers to enter today with seven such starts (6 IP, 3 ER or fewer)

After 1 am? They’re really serious about that time change thing, aren’t they? Denmark Groover hung off the balcony for nothing.

Just after 1 a.m., my final Sine Die under the Gold Dome — it’s been an incredible honor to serve our community, and I’m looking forward to doing the same in Congress.

The only reason I can tell this is fake is that Lane can’t grow a beard.

Trump has not ended eight wars.
Among other problems with his list, it includes:
- A diplomatic dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia that was not a war
- Some sort of mystery situation between Serbia and Kosovo that also was not a war
- The war in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that has not ended despite a Trump administration-brokered peace agreement never signed by the rebel group leading the fighting

Mail-in ballots are not "crooked." They are ballots. A minuscule percentage of mail votes involve fraud. There's no basis to categorically disparage them as Trump has for the last six years.

No serious budget expert thinks you can balance the budget by eliminating fraud. I'm not even sure non-serious budget experts think that.
