Not just a good game, an outstanding game, brought to a premature anticlimax by a ticky-tack call on a ball that was thrown into a different zip code. Is Arizona a state where late term abortion is illegal? Because i think this game qualifies.

Horrible way to end an otherwise good game.

I mean all credit to KC for an epic comeback and a great final drive, but Philly really were robbed of a chance to do something with the last couple minutes.

Ugh, SECOND super bowl IN A ROW where the outcome of the game was tilted by a horrendous defensive holding call. Are the NFL rules committee taking notes from Congress or what???

italyrusty 5 I doubt it was added to the Congressional Record, Wait... what!? Why, I'll have you know, that turn of phrase is recorded testimony that has now graduated from Twitter and henceforth forever and always part of the Congressional Record (CR), which no man nor Prima Donald could put asunder. I'll post it just for you when I see it published. but we *all* are familiar with the famous "Grab 'em by the p****" audio, released shortly before the 2016 election. You went there and are now archived as part of the Chris Record (CR) in perpetuity. Yes, Trump has definitely earned all the expletives he's received in allowing his bullying ignorance to tell on himself to the point that his mouth on recorded audio is likely to be his undoing. Poor Donald, it must really suck to be crass. Pass the Tic Tacs. :)

Surely his "chat" with Bill Bush, whenever that actually took place, wasn't the first time that word exited his pie hole!

One of the first hearings was supposed to uncover dastardly dealings between the federal government and Twitter, who supposedly colluded to kill the story about Hunter Biden's laptop. Since this never actually happened, there was nothing to uncover. Except for one instance of the White House trying to pressure Twitter into taking down a tweet -- when Chrissy Teigen called Trump a nasty name.

Would you like me to give the direct quote? Please excuse my language; this is a direct quote, but Chrissy Teigen referred to Donald Trump as a "pushy crass snitch," or something similar sounding. It suits him, and it's now obviously going to be written into the Congressional Record for all posterity and in perpetuity. When it gets posted, I'mma frame it and hang it on my wall.

Interestingly, the last time the word "pushy" *something similar sounding* was written into the Congressional Record for all eternity, it too involved Donald Trump and occurred in February. If I was one of those people who saw patterns in things, it would be hard to not notice this is becoming a regular thing regarding Trump.

'We would have given the Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week to Senator Kyrsten Sinema for her bizarre sartorial choices for the speech, but she's no longer a Democrat so she avoids the dishonor.' There's nothing less relevant than making fun of Hillary's pantsuits or the 'sartorial choices' of any other female elected representative. And yet, this sentence doesn't surprise me, given your history of dismissing powerful women - that is, when you're not completely ignoring them.

Re: 'we've made the editorial decision that we simply don't care about the constant stream of shocking revelations about George Santos anymore.'
Thank goodness! While it may bring about a feeling of Schadenfreude (to use the chattering class' favorite word of 2023 so far), the actions of Rep. Santos in the past and present are immaterial to those of us who are not:
* Members of the House of Representatives, who can vote to remove him from office;
* Registered voters in his Long Island district
* The FEC and the DOJ.
Each of us has only so much bandwidth and the more we use on topics which have little bearing on us is *less* that we can dedicate to issues that we can, and should, pay attention to.
This of course also applies to the newly-elected governor of Arkansas (excluding her 'official response' to the state of the union), Representative Snow Queen of Georgia, Representative Edge of Seventeen of Florida, and other favorites of the Huffington Post.

Re: 'Also, today the F.B.I. searched Pence's house and lo and behold found yet another document marked classified.' Can we progressives please *stop* talking about classified documents?!? The GOP, with a major contribution by the MSM, has succeeded in confusing the American public about the search of Trump's lair. He took records from the White House, which belong to the American people. And to add insult to injury (and committing additional crimes in the process), Trump refused to hand them over, despite multiple requests over many months. The fact that some (empty) folders marked 'classified' were among them is irrelevant.
