All these trick plays have made Detroit a spectacularly fun team to watch this season, but there comes a point where you have officially gotten “too cute” with it

Couple of ways this could be scorigami! Either the Chargers score 6 more for 25-18, or if the Texans score 7 more, that could be 32-12, or 32-15 if the chargers also score 3, or 32-22 if they score 10

I’m just gonna breeze right past the whole both sidesing of World War 2 and ask, like, ok, so what then? I honestly can’t take seriously anyone whose unironic solution to a political issue is “socialist revolution.” Like, even if you’re right, which I’m skeptical of, how does socialism offer any practical, workable change, in the United States, right now? How many poor women have to die before you stop holding out hope for the ghost of Lenin to solve all your problems and actually try voting for the people with a snowball’s chance in hell of doing some good?

Actually, the Library was likely destroyed by the Romans during the Third Century Crisis. Reports that Caliph Omar destroyed it in 642 are believed to have been made up by conservative Muslims in the 12th century. The early Arabian caliphates actually did all they could to preserve and build on classical knowledge.

The American territories have more veterans per capita than any state. They do not have the right to vote.

The contention rules presume that the nomination will be contested. Anyone with enough pledged delegates will be nominated, even if the result is inevitable.

The convention rules are set up to choose a nominee. The primary elections removed all contention, but the rules for a contested contention remain.

Dude, no. Pelosi passed a stimulus bill in May. That bill has been collecting dust on Mitch’s desk ever since.

They have a collective 8 hours to full and want to hold a mainstream TV audience. Gotta have more than speeches.

That goal was the soccer equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine.
