Chaffetz asks Justice IG to investigate Comey firing -- (link) - mud May 10, 19:39 1
- Chaffetz is an awful person and his attempt to make nice with DC to get a high paid gig after isn't going anywhere -- nm - MDH May 10, 19:43
Comey was sniffing at collusion -- (link) - ty97 May 10, 19:21 4
- FYI ty97, my friend wrote this article. He moved from Daily Beast and is the lead WSJ for international stuff -- nm - MDH May 10, 19:53
- Yeah, they have invited him to closed proceedings next week. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 19:34
- I look forward to a strong denial of this tomorrow. - David May 10, 19:24 1

yes! -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:21 1

CNN's ongoing interviews with Trump voters was interesting tonight. -- (edited) - Spawn May 10, 19:14 13

  - The white middle school boys I saw on my run today certainly weren't affected by the news - MDH May 10, 19:49
- What's the tipping point for Pence? When does he see his chance and throw Trump under the bus? -- nm - Mop May 10, 19:17 10
  - HA! no he ain't doing that...he's going to be President -- nm - Remlik May 10, 19:24 9
    - I'd imagine he's waiting for his chance and will run 2020. -- nm - MDH May 10, 19:36
    - but that's how he does it. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:25 7
      - He's going to be the good solider and support Trump all the way until they're packing Trumps crap up. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 19:29 2
        
        Yup, go down in his flames and then rise from the ashes. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 19:33 1

        I love this analogy -- nm - Jovian May 10, 19:38

SHIELD spoilers - Mop May 10, 19:10 4
- the show has been a great platform to show she has a huge range -- nm - Peglegpete May 10, 19:11 3
  - Oh, she's the one from Galavant! She was great there. -- nm - Mop May 10, 19:16 1
    - she's from Melbourne and is doing an American accent -- (link*) - Peglegpete May 10, 19:19
  - I even love what they did with her make-up. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 19:13
Sorry, TK. -- nm - David May 10, 19:09
So, Go Predators! -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 19:08 1
- Hee! -- nm - David May 10, 19:09
Well, that sucks, but at least it wasn't a surprise. And preordained or not, they showed a lot of fight during the series -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 19:07 1
- this wasn't nearly tragic enough. I'm scared for the next game. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:07
I wonder if they do something drastic, like move Ovechkin. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:07 25
- Trade Holtby. - Will Hunting May 10, 19:20
- Are their defensemen always this awful or was this just a bad series? -- nm - David May 10, 19:10 6
  - long standing issue. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:14 5
    - From what I could tell, the trade for Shattenkirk didn't help jack - prayformojo May 10, 19:16 4
      - blew team chemistry out of the water, from all accounts. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:17 3
        
        Is he a jerk? -- nm - David May 10, 19:18 2
        
        That I don't know, but it probably threw playing time into a blender. -- (edited) - Reagen May 10, 19:21 1
        
        I would imagine that's the hardest part about being great at basketball or hockey. - David May 10, 19:31
- put a gun to Bettman's head and make him fix the playoff seeding -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:07 16
  - I like the new playoff seeding. -- nm - mafic May 10, 20:12 1
    - also: it's almost impossible to avoid having good teams play each other early entirely. - mafic May 10, 20:14
  - If they can't beat Pittsburgh, they don't deserve to go. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:08 13
    - Exactly -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 19:09
    - but at least they would meet at the proper time. Next year they might meet in the first round the way they go -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:09 11
      - how does meeting them one round later help anything? - Reagen May 10, 19:13 10
        
        based on points it is Cavs/Warriors meeting in round 1. The NBA would light themselves on fire before letting that happen. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:14 9
        
        well those are teams in different conferences, and this is round 2, but... -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:17 8
        
        the Penguins were #2 and have played #4 and #1 in the first 2 rounds but whatever. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:19 7
        
        any 16 team playoff that has 3 of the top 4 teams playing in the first 2 rounds is a joke. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:20
        
        and beat them! Handily in one case. - Reagen May 10, 19:20 5
        
        maybe the NCAA will adopt it to boost ratings, but what do they know. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:20 4
        
        it's a completely different situation, since a team sees maybe 10% of the competition in a season - Reagen May 10, 19:23
        
        This isn't how does the NHL fix an issue, it's how the Caps do. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 19:22 2
        
        Right. "You're so good? Prove it by beating everyone." -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:24
        
        oh, not debating they deseved to lose, just that any competeant League would have had them meet in Final 4 at the very least -- nm - Beaker May 10, 19:23
Inside Trump’s anger and impatience — and his sudden decision to fire Comey - ty97 May 10, 19:04 5
- I love this. You hate leaks, Donald? Here's an article with DOZENS. -- nm - Mop May 10, 19:09
- investigate that! -- nm - Reagen May 10, 19:05
- He probably flips a coin like Twoface -- nm - Turd May 10, 19:05 1
  - Or his hair decides -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 19:06
- I hope Comey writes a book about his past year. -- nm - Peglegpete May 10, 19:05
Chocolate Avocado Truffles. You are welcome. -- (link) - Turd May 10, 19:00
"President was said to be frustrated by FBI director’s focus on Russia and lack of attention to leaks" - prayformojo May 10, 18:58
so...Michael Mckean should just get the Emmy now right? like no discussion or debate... -- nm - Beaker May 10, 18:57 4
- yep - and Carrie Coon for Leftovers and/or Fargo, or Yvonne Strahovsky (and Elizabeth Moss) for Handmaid's Tale. -- nm - mud May 10, 19:05
- That's been true for years. Maybe decades. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 19:03 2

        Plus wiffing on more than a few chances - budice May 10, 18:50

Scandal, next year will be the last -- nm - Beaker May 10, 18:13 7
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! -- nm - znufrii May 10, 18:20 1
  - yes -- nm - Beaker May 10, 18:34
- they surrender? -- nm - Reagen May 10, 18:16 3
  - "Nothing we can make up is weirder than Trump." -- nm - David May 10, 18:24 1
    - this is why I didnt watch House of Cards S4 last year but I decided with S5 coming up that I'd catch up and I'm really glad I did cuz it's great. -- nm - mud May 10, 18:28
  - Victory is mine. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 18:17
- That's probably not good news for The Catch. -- nm - David May 10, 18:14

The university is renting out dorm rooms for the eclipse. $265 to $1275 for 2 nights. -- (link) - Mop May 10, 17:14 21
- How many coeds do I get for $1275? is it the 5 star football recruit package? -- nm - Beaker May 10, 17:58
- that's too expensive. I'm going to recommend to President Trump he move the eclipse to another state -- nm - Peglegpete May 10, 17:51
- UBTI taxed at corporate rate. -- nm - MDH May 10, 17:48
