There is a new Barcelona drama brewing as well that the president of the club is using club money to pay bribes to Chinese business men as a way of smoothing out deals over there

bartomeu also allowed the Qatar Foundation, the chartiable-ish arm of the absolutist royal family there with numerous human rights violations to their name, to be Barca's front shirt sponsor. before that, their front sponsor was UNICEF (they were then relegated to the bottom of the shirt's back), and before that, there weren't any shirt sponsors because they were one of the last holdouts among big-name clubs. their front sponsor is now Qatar Airlines

many people would read these kinds of articles, and well-written sports analysis in general. These Football Times is a great site, but it only focuses on soccer. Grantland did a good job of writing fascinating sports articles, but it's defunct and The Ringer is a poor substitute. you'd think someone would step up to the plate (appropriate pun) for sports. ditto pop culture and music (goons have already mentioned a couple of video game sites)

There's a lot more on the ballot than the Presidential races, do you not think local politics are important? I don't give a poo poo about Kaepernick but the idea that it's not important to vote just because you're in a blue state is dumb.

There was so many people that were calling their shots before it was going to happen.

Jimmy Dore was calling it. TYT as a whole was as well. I've seen the Alt Light mock them over their "Election day" meltdown...but Cenk (to his credit) was making videos going into that weekend going ("UH. RED-loving-ALERT. WAKE UP GUYS").

Moore as well. He even had articles dating back to 2009-2010 talking about how the Dems could have "harvested the grapes of wrath" of the recession, and they missed their chance. He described how he was worried that it would be coming from the right, not the left.

I think the Chapo guys were also scared shitless (like we all kinda were) that the Dems were clearly out of loving touch this election cycle and were gonna blow it.

It's really weird. My anger has mainly been towards Centrist Dems leading to this moment, not so much the Republicans that have taken advantage of the aforementioned being complete poo poo.

About the only celebrity I respect right now would be Susan Saradon. Mainly because she pantsed Chris Hayes live on air and MADE MSNBC have to put Josh Fox on the air after they refused to have him on during the 2016 election cycle.

Understandable. Who is worse, the people commonly accepted as evil or the people who are supposed to oppose them but are effectively running interference and openly being nearly as corrupt?

This statue is on private land, and it was recovered from an old Soviet scrapyard, right? Seems slightly different than a state-sponsored racist statue paid for by domestic racists and living rent free on public property

It also regularly has red paint splashed on it, it's kinda cool

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547

quote:

Michigan operatives relay stories like one about an older woman in Flint who showed up at a Clinton campaign office, asking for a lawn sign and offering to canvass, being told these were not “scientifically” significant ways of increasing the vote, and leaving, never to return. A crew of building trade workers showed up at another office looking to canvass, but, confused after being told there was no literature to hand out like in most campaigns, also left and never looked back.

People did show up.

Guess what the reaction was? "gently caress you. We'll win without you". Hell there was people in Wisconsin BEGGING for Hillary to campaign there and they were met with radio silence. They finally were able to get BARNEY loving FRANK to show up on a Wednesday.

michael moore is a self-aggrandizing loudmouth, and he talked about how his new broadway show would "beat trump with satire," which is explicitly saying what late night TV and lots of entertainment is already doing. nonetheless, he knows his poo poo about the rust belt. if obama proposed a second new deal with some improvements over the one that schumer has recently outlined, he'd have created a decades-long political legacy like FDR did
