Politics And Current Events
I don't know why the Democrats wouldn't push Franken out. Yeah, he'd gotten a somewhat higher profile (in a positive way) earlier this year with his performance in some of the hearings, but Minnesota has a Democrat governor, so they don't really lose anything in terms of the balance of power in the ...

I kind of don't pay attention to the economic side of the article because I don't care if J.P. Morgan was President, no economic policy will bring back the kind of mid-level jobs that less-than-educated/intelligent people used to be able to fill, whether Steel, Coal, or Coke. Please explain that to...

I can't believe that the Bungles were able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

looked promising until: I see it in the hyper-frenetic attitude of the White House, the comments every day, the continual tweets ...which makes me think they still have nothing I don't know. In my very amateur opinion, I think the way the Flynn plea went down, it implies that he's given them some u...

Why hasn't Reaves had a talk with Kane at this point? Surely, if Reaves has any value in his deterrent role, it has to be in times like this.

I'm willing to admit that Sanders is not the most electable option for Democrats in 2020, but I'd think he'd still have a decent shot of beating Trump (not a slam dunk, but a real possibility). Stein got 51,000 votes in Michigan, and Clinton lost by ~11k. Stein got 31k in Wisconsin, and Clinton lost...

As I mentioned in the Politics thread, I've been reading Harding'd Collusion book, part of which is dedicated the Steele dossier. In the course of his investigation into Steele's background, he found that Steele had also been hired by the English FA to investigate how Russia was able to beat England...

I've heard, I think, 3 different Republican Congressmen interviewed on NPR in the last 24 hours concerning the tax bill. All of them have engaged in baldfaced lies that the interviewer would call them on using analyses from reputable sources, and they'd all just say, "Oh, the CBO? They're always wro...

I've been listening to the audiobook version of Luke Harding's Collusion during my commute this week. He was The Guardian's Moscow bureau chief for a while until he got kicked out of the country by the Russian government. The book is basically putting together everything we know about how Russia inf...

I'm wondering that as well. He's been even crazier on Twitter than normal the past couple days. Must be something going on behind the scenes to rile him up.Wonder if all this is part of the reason big orange was fired up today?

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
Yeah, based on how Voracek collided with Murray and how Murray was limping off, I'd say it's a knee injury. Hopefully, it's just a sprain, which means 4-6 weeks would be about right.Could be practice purposes. That said, 4-6 weeks.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
Yeah, I don't knowing about trading Cole. On the one hand, the bottom 6 forwards (Sheahan, Reaves, McKegg, Kuhnhackl, Rowney, and Hagelin) have 6 goals between, and we're about 1/3 of the way through the season. Something needs to be done about that. And I could see Cole bringing back a decent retur...

The #Pens have acquired Ryan Reaves and a 2nd round pick for Oskar Sundqvist and the 31st overall pick.
Yeah, I think Reaves is perfectly fine as a 4th liner. It's just that it doesn't seem like we have anyone in those bottom 5 forward spots (Sheahan, Hagelin, Kuhnhackl, Reaves, McKegg, Rowney) looks likely to score more than 5 goals on the year. I'd feel a lot better about Reaves if they had a 4th li...

On the one hand, I thought that after a slow start, they have played pretty decently these past couple games. They're just falling prey to some defensive miscues and bad bounces. It's tempting to think that if they just keep doing what they're doing, they'll start winning more often than not. These ...

For me, having the Hand as the main villain in the recent Marvel series (Daredevil 2, Iron Fist, and the Defenders) is the biggest problem. What even was their ultimate motivation? Was it just trying to dig up dragon bones so that they could be immortal? If so, why did they have to destroy Kun Lun a...
