Some non-Redskins talk about Johnny Manziel in the CFL, Tom Brady’s future, Chick-a-filet and West World. This week’s big Redskins topic, a discussion of the safety position, both free and strong.

Caps playing differently tonight? Not hitting like last game?
Oshie scoreS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy little put back. A 35 cent shot
I tell you, when I was a kid-kid…I was awed coming off Kenilworth, merging onto E Capital…crossing the Anicostia with RFK looming large on the other side of the bridge.
That shit was amazing.

Regularly part of My drive home / work when we do drive in
Fucking dump.
I actually think that building the new stadium on the old Capital Centre site wouldn’t be a bad option….they already have shops and restaurants and shit out there…albeit ghetto and cheesy ones.
Basically just next to where it is now

Chicken thighs off the fire tonight
Lotta talk on local DC sports radio about the Redskins brass paying attention to what’s going with the Caps. Midtown stadium with restaurants and bars…15-20 thousand fans OUTSIDE the arena in the streets.
I’ll say this…a stadium IN D.C. would be phenomenal. A stadium in suburban VA would be a mistake. I’ll also say this…fans show up en mass at Fed Ex field after a big road win. They will come.
Building in the sticks in VA…that’s dumb.
Whatever deal they float to attract the FO will be nothing compared to what the franchise can pull in in and around DC.
I know I’m biased, but a stadium in Loudon county would be a big mistake. Yes, 60% of Redskins season ticket holders live in VA, but you won’t get that same feel out there.
Seeing all the Cap’s fans getting it on…makes me a little home sick. Would be awesome to be there for the Cup finals.
I lived in Largo for a while. Was going to Caps game all the time at the Cap Centre. Tickets were cheap.
WWF too.
Concerts too
Dude. All the time for the concerts. Was fun when the Dead would show up for three nights. Would just go up there and mingle with the hippies.
One the biggest laughs I ever had…went to a WWF at the Cap Centre, went up to the ceiling for some privacy where we could toke.
I forget who he was wrestling, but during the match, someone in the arena yelled out ‘Hogan! You pussy!’
I fucking about fell out of my chair laughing.
They should have built the stadium where they put that fugly Casino complex.
Is it fugly? I’ve never seen it.
You mean MGM GRAND?
Yeah
Why would a stadium in Northern Virginia be a mistake
Trump canceled the Iggles WH visit over anthem BS. Seems like a lot of players weren’t going to show up and The Donald didn’t want to be embarrassed.

The above is an actual photo of D_C when the Redskins drafted Brandon Scherff.
good for the president. they have the platform to protest in another manner as far as I’m concerned. F*** them all if they don’t respect our country and our flag and our national anthem.

from 1933 to 1946 the NFL championship game had one of these 3 teams Bears, Giants or Redskins playing in it
Oh for the 40’s!
then post WW2 other teams started signing African-American players and we did not
so for the next 20 years we went from Elite to crap
But then…
Tbf there where some years with only 8 to 10 teams

I still just use that dollar on your wife because she sees it as an increase over what she usually gets for head.
Of course I need to be drunk first else I’ll throw up on the top of her head because she’s so fucking ugly.
no wife ever give head, if you had ever been with a woman you would know that
The wives I’ve met over the years do when they meet me. The usual comments include a compliment of sorts if not an actual scream/yell while laughing about what tiny dicks their husbands have.
I’m sure your fatass wife wants no part of what resembles a dead goldfish.
No wonder I get so much ass. Like…all the fucking time. lol
oh, you write for Penthouse Forum
got it
does that pay much or do they just give you free tissues and lotion?
Incorrect…
I hate to keep repeating myself but…
You married the wrong woman
Yeah, Scamp’s wife gives head all the time. Ask anyone.

Yep… they all know!

Austin started that mess, he’s on the rebound because T-Rex, I mean Poona, didn’t get drafted.
Dude is only slightly less wrong than D_C…….who less right that every living and breathing carbon-based life form.
Which essentially means he’s just about always wrong.
Dude is a mouth breather.
I wrote a big column about him recently.
Translation: Mr. Steve’s fault
It’s like the country is Trump and the PM for Montenegro is a combination of Austin and D_C.

Steve Austin
Holy crap! You dudes are the bionic man! And Stone Cold!
Wait, I was going to tell you guys something…oh oh!
I bought a home warranty today. Texas based company that has a lot good word of mouth. And, better coverage than most of the national companies. They serve Austin and Houston.
https://www.fixdrepair.com/
SUCKA!
Please
Bet you bought the extended warranty on your toaster oven, too.
No. But I did for my blender. And yep…that thing broke. Replaced on the spot.
I did though skip on buying any extra coverage for this all-in-one I picked up today at Best Buy. One year for $180. That’s way too much scratch. I mean sure, it’s less than buying a new computer. But still.
I’m thinking of taking it back though. I just wish Costco had a better selection. Their concierge service can’t be beat.
Got the undercoating with your new car, too, didn’t you? Admit it.
Nope.
But I did apply a bunch of those back in the day.
Look yo, Fixd looks to be legit. And with what I’ve got coming up, buying coverage for $500 is going to save me some good coin.
I’m just pullin’ your chain. 🙂
So we got a winner on the t-shirt giveaway, huh? Good. Hi Dave.
He said I could have it.
Good guy that Dave.
Nah the Goodwill closed down here so I need all the hand outs I can get
He’s a liberal. Big fan of Beto.
LOL,
I follow dave on twitter. If there’s one thing he’s not.
Haven’t met a Dave who doesn’t like Beto.
How many times a day were you slapped in school? Does it continue now? Because you are a seriously annoying bitch.
And you’re a little pussy. Now go run out into the street and play.
You are a complete loser and I would bet a sizable sum that you are a frightened pussy whenever you actually emerge from your busted ass domicile and are in a social situation, secretly pissing your underoos.
Yep, this is the internet, but I think most here already know without a doubt who would get the ever loving shit beaten out of them in a real life situation.
That’s good enough for me you broke ass loser.

I love the misery that Austin and D_C live in after Donald Trump won the Presidential election. It’s their universe for the next 3 to 7 years.
Every day when they wake and every night when they go to bed they are crying inside.
I genuinely find joy in their misery. It makes my day.
Big night for you little buddy, and here you are getting all testy. You must be blogging at Happy Hour.

regarding self-service kiosks and checkout
Like I told the lady at one retail store when she “invited” me to use self-checkout, if you want me to help you drive down your costs and by checking myself out then you should provide some incentive at checkout and just not tell me my the savings are baked into your prices.
Otherwise I might as well just sit at home and shop at Amazon
Oh yeah, Dave…. almost forgot, you probably already know this but, we usually talk a lot more football, k0n just keeps bringing up these wack-ass topics….

Alex how was the fishing in the Adirondacks
Was out last night and got 7 lmb in a couple hours
You know I don’t fish. I hunted (if you count trapping mice in the house).
Did you eat them?
I fed them to a Fox that lives in the woods next to our house.
The sticks, or the mice?
So Dave………. who’s your favorite podcaster?
I’ll defer to Squinns. He’s the smartest one up here.

Hey Dave, welcome to Hogsty, HTTR
Thanks #HTTR
Welcome Dave. I think this makes you the contest winner.
If you want to email TheHogSty@gmail.com your contact info I’ll get it to Sean.
Bullshit!
I totally called dibs this morning!
Kon, you’re already up here every day. Buy your own damn shirt.
Fuck sake
Isn’t it enough that I support the place with my ad clicks?
Thanks for the 3 cents 🙂
We had another new poster while you were on vacation, but he was a one hit wonder. I’d say wait to see if Dave posts again.
It’s Conte’s contest I wasn’t even on the episode. Fairly sure when they were recording that I was at a Brewery eating wings and drinking beer.
I’m whatever on the details, just telling you there was one other guy. Like extraterrestrials……knowwaddamean?
Oh I’m still here yes I am a cheap a$$ c**t so quit hating 😎😎
Seriously though I’ve listened to these guys for a long while and easily one of the best Pod Casts for Redskin y’all out there.
k0n is the c**t, and I’m not hating.
Jesus fucking Christ man. We’re trying to make a good impression here on the new guy. Stop being a cunty c**t.
Dude’s prolly been lurking
Guest upvoter!
I’ve been slowly figuring those guys out, I’ve got about three of them.
He’s so hating on you. Don’t be afraid to report him to the team captain.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! snitchbitch
Where are they made anyway?
Buy a t-shirt, you cheap c**t!
If I’m gonna lay down $25 for a tshirt…I want to know it’s not made in China.
India and Honduras sure. But not China.
But you’d let Sean pay China while you took it for free……..sad
It’d be rude to not accept a gift
SMH! – 65
Also, I want it autographed by Steve
For that you would need to find him, and maybe bring along a buxom woman to wear the shirt and request the signature. And make sure he signs it Steve, and not one of his fake names he uses.
I did some research, German based company, with four production sites in Europe and the USA, where they do the printing.
Honsetly not sure. The company we use is spreadshirt.com. Used to be CafePress but they said we couldn’t anymore because one of my shirt ideas was a hand done picture of RFK stadium so they shut down our whole site.
Rewards for being a loyal listener 😎😎

Dave…
Trade Ryan Kerrigan or Trent Williams?
Well damn starting me off with a hell of a question!!! Considering Trent’s recent health issues and age I’d have to lean towards trading Trent. Once I did I’d proceed to take a hammer to my temple saying WTF did I just do!!!
Well, long answer but lets check the board…

Re: sausage saboteur
Many manufacturing companies have extensive video surveillance of production lines. The ability to replay machine malfunctions, line wrecks, accidents (we even had a death on video), plus troubleshooting program issues while watching live video of equipment, is priceless.
On my drive up to the Adirondacks last weekend one of the best parts, stopping at a Roy Rogers in upstate NY getting a double R burger, wife got a roast beef. Covered the things in stuff from the fixings bar. My hippie aunt, who was riding up with us. She looked disturbed by my love and nostalgia of Roy Rogers.
No, just disturbed in general by you. Its ok, though, as its a pretty standard reaction.
Dude. You should have said something. I could totally go for a Double R.
I was remembering Roy Rodgers just yesterday. They did a scene at one in The Americans.
I’d have mailed it to Dallas snail mail………

Yup, because, I care 🙂

McDonald’s to add self-order kiosks to 1,000 stores each quarter
===============================================
I go there about once a month usually for breakfast because Mrs Noon wants an Egg McMuffin
went into one new McD’s that is a future concept store
basically a bunch of kiosks and a order pick up counter
you place you own order, pay for it with a card and get your drinks
I don’t usually go in but drive in line was so long, now I understand why it was long
if I would have wanted to all the work for them I could have used UberEats
I’ve seen it at the one by my office. Good bye service industry.
I saw one of these things 3 weeks ago. The employee standing by the kiosks asked me if I wanted to place my order at the kiosk. I said no, and he basically shrugged like he didn’t care one way or the other. I can’t imagine that it’s too much faster than just placing your order with a live person unless the line is hugely long.
No, it’s not faster at all.
I want to just be able to tell someone, “I want a quarter-pounder with only cheese, medium fries, and a drink” without having to press a bunch of buttons.
Agree.
Now where I do want to do it my self. 1st, everyone should have the Coke freestyle machines, they are the best. 2nd, just give me access to all the ketchup and dipping sauce type things, don’t keep them hidden behind the counter. If I want 5 packets of ketchup and 2 sweet and sour let me decide that.
Our old Mickey D’s has them here… I use them almost exclusively
for Scamp, people up north are fed up too
A whopping 46 percent of California Bay Area residents fed up with the region’s high cost of living and soaring home prices are planning to pack their bags and move out in the next few years, a poll has found
Sixteen percent of that group said they plan to move somewhere else in California, with the rest having Texas, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona top off the most sought-after states outside of California for relocation
At the same time, the cost of living is getting higher everywhere.
Stop with the political posts!!!!
Hows that political? When I was on Vacation, I was checking out the prices of houses in upstate NY, not that we’re looking to sell. But the places up there can be as expensive as a house in DC.
I’m just curious if the people moving are gonna continue to vote the same way in their local elections that brought them the high cost of living? This happened in Northern VA, where a lotta Montgomery County residents moved from the area to get away from the taxes…only to vote the same way for politicians that are gonna turn Northern VA into MoCo.
I haven’t paid attention long enough, but I heard Northern VA used to be Red, but is now Blue thanks in part to this migration.
I’ve never met anyone who moved from Maryland to VA. DC, sure.
I did at one time, but that was to get in-state tuition at a VA school. Actually really liked living in NoVa (Arlington).
Well I just found a sweet graphic that shows people who move from county to county in the DMV.
https://www.datalensdc.com/dmvMigration.html
Texas….cost of living here is insanely low compared to California and DC.
Now I’m glad I’ll just go watch on the couch. Fall Out Boy to preform at Caps game tonight outside the stadium.
Lol. That is a show to miss.
At least it’s rock and roll, so that’s a good thing.
A criminal complaint states Jonathan Lane, an employee of Johnsonville Sausage, on two separate occasions in late March placed foreign objects into sausage links. Both attempts were caught on surveillance video.
Both times, the items were removed before the sausages were packaged. Because of the public risk, Johnsonville had to close down their plant and remove any products that may have been affected, the Department of Justice said.
Lane has been charged with two counts of tampering with consumer products and acting with reckless disregard for the risk that another person would be placed in danger of death or bodily harm. He could face up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release.
Do we know what he put in the sausage?
Or should we just assume he was using the sausage casings for “pleasure”
cigarette wrapper/packaging
a piece of wire
So probably they caught him on the second, rewatched video, and ended up with two “known” occurrences.
Zach Miller, 33, joined the Bears in 2015. Under the so-called “split” contract with the Bears, he’ll earn $458,000 for 2018, whether he plays or not.
If he somehow is able to play, he would make $790,000 in 2018.
It’s a class move by the Bears, who otherwise wouldn’t have owed Miller a dime, since his contract expired after the 2017 season.
=========================
that is a pretty classy move in the Not For Long league
I imagine that probably also helps cover him with healthcare and rehab too

Over the weekend I happened to catch one segment of sport talk radio featuring Thom Loverro and some other guy. They were discussing how the 3 point shot had ruined college and is starting to ruin the NBA. They even threw out the idea that basketball should get rid of the 3 point shot. Can you believe that?
Thanks Warriors!!!
Ruining it how?
I hate the Warriors as much as the next quasi-semi-Cavs fan, but they play a great brand of basketball.
I don’t want to see iso ball or all that big men bumping and grinding the NBA used to be.
They were basically saying a lotta skill and nuances of the game are getting lost with everyone, including big men, wanting to develop and shoot 3s. I got the feeling that they wanted the return of that great big/post man. But yea, hard to keep pounding the post for 2pt buckets when the other team is lighting you up with 3s.
Yeah. Cavs were suffering from that last night.
And, on the other side, the Warriors were getting to the post no problem because Cleveland had to defend the perimeter.
That three ball creates a lose-lose when you have a team that can really shoot it.

“A top quark decays almost exclusively into a bottom quark and a W boson,” Neu said. “The Higgs boson, on the other hand, has a rich spectrum of decay modes, including decays to pairs of bottom quarks, W bosons, tau leptons, photons and several others. This leads to a wide variety of signatures in events with two top quarks and a Higgs boson. We pursued each of these and combined the results to produce our final analysis.”

As a pure point guard, yes, he is, particularly considering that he was just a rookie. He’s not a good or consistent shooter, yet.
JTatum is twice the player and it’s not even close
Twice the player? No. Better this year? Yes.
He’s much better and there’s no denying
Ball will end up being a jag
Tatum is gonna be great
Ball has shown some flashes… he’s a good player. Incredible he is not
If a dead horse had a Lakers Jersey, Dodgers Cap, Redskins helmet on it. Steve will tell you it’s got upside 🙂
I’d most definitely tell you that Lonzo is going to be an outstanding point guard.
LOL

Speaking of tits
=======================
the only thing to say is that is brrrriiiiittttssssskkkkkiiii

on Peaky Blinders — if you liked the Sopranos, watch Peaky Blinders

Dunkirk was awesome, best WW2 flick in a bunch of years

and if you weren’t around for the 70’s when woman wore halter tops and hot pants sans underwear — I’m sorry you just missed out on a nice thing
I’ll say this about Lebron…at 18 years old, he was making 460,000 dollars a week, and we’ve not heard ONE story of him being in any kind of trouble. That’s a big deal.
LeBron is a player that people love to hate… unless you actually know him. He did some immature things at a young age… but it’s not like he pulled a Magic Johnson and cheated on his wife with so many women that he contracted HIV.
who said they were women?
Magic did.
He also told his wife he was faithful all those years
exactly Scamp!
it’s harder for the pitcher to get HIV than the catcher in those situations
not impossible but harder
Well it was back in the 80’s/90’s right? Everything went back then.
That’s between he and his wife. I don’t really care who he sleeps with.
But it certainly creates a believability issue
Believability for what? His story about how he acquired HIV? I don’t really care one way or the other as a fan of the team.
Just saying… you claimed “Magic said.” Magic lies… so what Magic said means very little…
and I love me some Magic Johnson… but not that way
Never saw a bad word written about him when he was playing in Miami. I mean aside from “The Decision” and all that.
Right. There is no reason to dislike LeBron, except pure hateristic hate. Which I totally get.
I have hated with hateristical hatretude many, many a Cowboy. Jason Witten for example. That star on the helmet is plenty of reason.
Most of DC hates LeBron because he has single handedly denied them anything for the last decade
Atlanta is much the same way
He’s never been in trouble, sure, and I applaud him for that, but he and his incredible narcissism and constant whining really turns me off. I just don’t like the guy.
…said the guy who carried water for Kobe
HYPOTHETICAL…
What if LeBron decided to take less money to play for Golden State? Would the league step in?
As much as I dislike it, I think the league shouldn’t be able to stop a guy from moving as a free agent.
Yeah, but the league would have a serious competitive advantage issue.
As much as I dislike Lebron, I fail to see how the league has a legit argument if a player decides to take less money to go to a certain team. That’s happened before in every league.
I agree…not much the NBA could do, but they would have a problem on their hands.
The player’s association is the one that should be mad about something like that, I think, not the NBA, because a superstar like Lebron intentionally taking less money may be setting a precedent for future player contracts, possibly.
The whole league is a mess when it comes to contracts.
It wouldn’t be that big of a precedent. Wade took less money so the Heat could bring in LeBron and Bosh.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, but if anyone would have the right to be irritated, it’d be the NBAPA.
They haven’t stepped in about the refereeing so far. Why would they care about that?
🙂
Yes… but he wouldn’t do that.
I could see him picking Houston, The Clippers, or Detroit
As long as it isn’t the Lakers.
That’s actually the #1 rumor… and you would love it. It would finally make your team relevant again… they’ve been the laughing stock of the league for so long now…
Lonzo Ball… what a joke
He hates LeBron
So what… we hate everyone until they’re on our team. The Lakers are a joke and no where near being good. They need someone like him
The Lakers actually have a solid core of youngsters and will probably be a low-end playoff team next year, like 7th or 8th seed, even if they don’t make major changes.
Not even close…
They just lost 2 of those “young core” to Cleveland.
They got a loud mouthed midgit in return
Your views are clouded by your hatred of the franchise. The team, objectively, improved 9 wins this year over 2016-17 with a group of players were who all 20-22 years old, with tons of injuries. They’ll only get better and have a good chance of a winning record next year, which would put them into contention for a playoff spot…like I said.
Oh I loved the Lakers back when they had Magic. I have zero hatred for them. I see them for what they are… a joke.
You on the other hand… not at all rational
You’ve said many times that you hate the team.
I never said I hate the team.
I said I hated Kobe Bryant.
I don’t like the current team because they are a shell of the greatness they once were.
It’s sad
We talked about this on this week’s show. Usually when an all-time great leaves, the franchise ends up sucking for awhile. That happened to the Lakers. They are now pulling out of it.
They are so far behind the rest of the west… good luck.
I will dislike them as long as Ball’s daddy has his mouth anywhere near them.
Nah, I really wouldn’t love it. I don’t want to have to root for him, and I’d be less than enthused about a long contract for a 34 year old.
Lonzo is a better player than you think. Incredible floor general – just needs to improve his shooting percentage, which he actually did in spurts and towards the end of the season. I think his second team All-Rookie team selection was probably the right spot for him.
He is no where near “incredible.”
Give that shit a rest
The problem with staying in the west is that there’s no guarantee he’d get to the finals with the Warriors constantly re-loading.
If he went to Houston that would be a pretty big chance at dethroning Golden State in the west
Problem being they are already an iso team… you have 3 iso players???
I think it would force the league to revise their rules. Fans would flee in droves if that happened.
I agree
I just read the Supreme Court’s summary of its decision in the bakery case. The case is the bakery vs. the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Colorado law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation by a place of business engaged in sales to the public. So, when the baker refused to make the gay wedding cake, the customers filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which upheld the customer’s complaints. Baker sued alleging that the commission violated his freedom of speech and his right to free exercise of religion.
The Supreme Court held that the commission failed to treat the baker’s religious beliefs in a neutral manner and openly demeaned him and was hostile towards him for his beliefs at the hearing. The Court also held that a wedding cake isn’t a normal good or service, but rather uses the baker’s artistic expression and therefore is a freedom of speech issue. The court noted that at the time, gay marriage wasn’t legal in Colorado. They took into consideration that he offered to sell other products to the customers. The SC therefore concluded that the commission violated its duty under the First Amendment not to base laws or regulations on hostility towards a religious viewpoint.
At least that’s basically what the summary says.
In other words, this is a pretty narrow holding. Moral of the story is that a wedding cake can be an artistic expression and that a state agency can’t openly demean someone for his religion. Not earth-shattering at all.
So will this ruling be used as precedent in future lawsuits, or is it too specific to this case?
Too specific, really. The key is that the commission apparently was openly hostile towards his views. That’s going to get tossed every time if it’s a state entity.
A cake as artistic expression is something I hadn’t heard before, but I think that’s pretty minor.
got it
The Americans ended on a high note.
Good show. They nail the period details.
Oh.. you meant the TV show.
Little history lesson for the day. https://twitter.com/BeschlossDC/status/1003668746970558464
No wants women to suffer!
-Millenials
That was a funny bit that the Man Show did back in 1990 something.
Jimmy Kimmel… made his bones showing women jumping on trampolines…
now the quintessential liberal
Wanting more hot women in less clothing has always been a core value of the liberals.
Why else trick them into burning their bra’s back in the day? Meanwhile conservatives tried stoning women for showing too much ankle.
…or groping them on casting couches
(or not shaving their armpits after burning their bras)
It was an unintended consequence.
Kinda takes away from the whole “hot” label

Whatever Weinstein did in that hotel room…has nothing to do with a shit-ton of good productions
It did have something to do with making “The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain” said there was no way he’d make that unless Hugh Grant F***ed him… and Hugh Grant will f*** anything.
Get caught banging a tranny hooker…people are gonna talk
https://media.giphy.com/media/WiyczarN2XMm4/giphy.gif
one of the funniest shows ever.
But never won an Oscar. SUCH BULLSHIT
It got nominated for a couple Emmy’s. Never won though. I don’t get why that show never caught on in viewers.
Well you had a good 6 season run 5 on NBC. Had to contend with a lot of powerhouse shows at the same time on NBC with The Office, 30 Rock, and Parks and Rec.
LOL, just realized my co-worker at my crummy job has more Emmy’s than Community. (he got 2 when he worked local news)
Hugh Grant, to me, is as Oscar is, to Mr. Steve
There’s a reason I picked some random shitty Hugh Grant movie.
Because picking Hugh Grant movies randomly, as shit, is easy?
Okay. Many reasons.
Lol
The name of that movie alone….. it’s like Borat named it.
‘The Drop’ is a very underrated Tom Hardy movie. Based on the book written by Dennis Lehane who also wrote Mystic River–which was terrific!
Another good one
I believe it is Gandolfini’s last movie?
In the oil tank in his basement, the entire time, lol
Steve…this is the show that is up your alley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yLrq1uFwgY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-g-utPUyrM
I’ve been watching this one. It’s pretty decent
I’ll check it out. Looks good.
From Executive Producer Harvey Weinstein. lol
Many don’t realize that Harvey Weinstein owned 1/2 of Hollywood.
That’s apparent, here
Key phrase: “owned”, past tense.
I recently ran into someone whose wife worked at Weinstein. I asked him if she’d ever been harrassed, assaulted, etc., and he said no because his wife – who’s an attorney who was an assistant general counsel – ran into him in the elevator one day. Weinstein didn’t recognize her and started getting creepy, but at that moment she introduced herself as one of his lawyers and he backed off and never messed with her again. Or so this guy said.
Aka, she was bangin’ Harvey on side.
Ewww
The Unit was a show I liked that got canceled after a couple seasons. Got a bit soap operaish, but it had a great cast. Actors from that show pop up everywhere these days.
The network special operations teams shows tend to have a more diverse cast than is actually the truth in real life. Those teams have alot of white guys in real life and have to go out and find folks who look different, because they actually have real operational needs to not have everyone look the same.
My general rule of thumb is that if a movie has been nominated for several Oscars, it’s probably going to be an artsy, silly movie that critics and serious film people love but that the regular average joe won’t find entertaining. Obviously there are exceptions, but the exception movies are normally ones that I decided to see prior to nominations, such as American Sniper. Usually if I end up watching an Oscar movie for the first time after nominations I’m disappointed because it’s one that I should have known I’d was going to hate going in. Example: this year’s movie that was about the romance between the fish-man and mute woman – there’s no way in God’s green earth that I’m going to waste my time with that. I’m sure it’s well made and has lots of high-art cinema stuff in it, but….no.
The sad state of things is this, if it doesn’t hit the talking points, liberal trash mouths like Laura Bogart will spray it with whatever they can.
Even the new Star Wars movie, Solo, which was entertaining and I liked, had its moments where the writers were pushing their talking points. Just entertain me, please.
There’s more to that story. L3 was uploaded into oblivion, no worries.
It didn’t keep me from enjoying the movie more than it was just something I noticed and rolled my eyes at.
I’m generally okay with the crop of flicks they pick for the Oscars, even if those movies didn’t sell as many tickets. I mean, No country for old men is unequivocally better than Superbad, even if it wasn’t as popular that year. You have to award the people striving for something more than just laughs with crass humor. The Avengers ain’t exactly Oscar worthy entertainment.
I just enjoy any film on whatever level it’s trying to be. If its an intellectual film, I will be intellectual. If it’s a mindless explosion fest I just turn the brain off. And learn how to enjoy any of them.
Oh me too. Im just not giving an Oscar to a movie with poop jokes, even if they’re hilarious.
See, I think if it were a truly good comedy, it should be nominated.
I agree with this.
Really, it depends on the category. There’s plenty of good movies that get Oscars outside of the best picture, best director blah blah blah stuff.
I always look for best cinematography/sound/editing/score.
I like screenplay awards. For all the talk about pay discrepancy in Hollywood, there’s really only one group that is horribly underpaid and underappreciated. They strike more than anyone in Hollywood. It’s the writers! Nothing happens without them, and yet they make a tiny pittance compared to actors and directors.
Writers have one of the hardest jobs to make a living at. But lots of folks on a set are underpaid when compared to the actors.
true
I don’t get it. I go for the movie. Not the damn actor.
That they’re paid the way they are….smh
Um….the sheeple…..
Shear those mofos
The bulk of the money has to come from somewhere, quit being a c**t and enjoy your enlightened existence.
Listen here ya c**t. Plenty of blockbusters happen with little known actors at the lead.
I’ve seen it a hundred times.
You had to know it was a boomerang, right?
And that may be “after the fact”, but you’re not cashing in on the hype, without the big names.

Despise that douchebag
It’s a hard knock life – Hank Moody
Chad Dukes looks like the rednecks that I used to have to go to school with in Woodbridge Va in the early 80’s…Is he well respected up there?
I think that’s what he’s going for.
been watching the show “colony”. i think it’s a netfilx show. aliens have taken over. we never see the aliens, but they’ve built a wall and patrol everything with drones. it’s pretty good. not great.
Peaky Blinders & Westworld. Lots of violence and montage’s set to Radiohead. Why I enjoy both.
They do a really cool thing adapting contemporary hits to old timey piano tunes.
They sure do.
You know what show started off very good but then dissolved into a morass of politics, writer agenda pushing, and downright stupid storytellng: Quantico on ABC. I watched the first season and a couple of episodes of season 2 before I got sick of it.
I feel like something similar happened with Homeland. Never watched quantico.
DItto with Designated Survivor
I didn’t last as long with Designated Survivor since it was so obviously a show whose sole reason for existence was to bash the political conservative agenda.
Totally. He’s supposed to be “independent” yet fully committed to a liberal agenda and all the show’s “bad guys” are white conservative-types.
Peaky Blinders, IMO, is the best written series in terms of leaving cliffhangers episode to episode. I can’t watch just one; have to cheat and watch the first 5 min of the next one every time, just to see what’s up.
Loved some Peaky Blinders. Especially Alfie Solomons
Tom Hardy is one my all-time fave actors. I heard rumors he may be in running for the next Bond…though I don’t know if I can fully see that.
Just watched him scowl for 2 hours in a fighter cockpit in Dunkirk. Great scowling.
One of my surprise-favorite movies is “Warrior”. That film really got me onto Tom hardy
Never even heard of it. Will have to check it out.
Totally snuck up on me. Caught it on Netflix one night while wifey was out and I had a couple hours to kill. I was very moved by it – good acting and great themes.
Good movie
And who can forget his classic performance in Star Trek Nemesis
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Shinzon
I avoided Dunkirk for the longest time because it had been nominated for a bunch of Oscars, which is normally a sign of a terrible flick, but I broke down and caught it on HBO recently. I thought it was outstanding.
I told you 100 times it was awesome.
Yeah, but…Oscars.
Not watching a movie because it won an Oscar is dumber than not eating types of fast food because Chad Dukes recommended it.
I mean, Forrest Gump won an Oscar.
It doesn’t mean much.
The most Oscar winning films.
Titanic-11
Ben-Hur-11
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King-11
West Side Story- 10
Titanic hasn’t aged well at all. Ben-Hur is meh. LOTR 3 really just won everything for all 3 films, because the 3rd is the worst of all 3. West Side Story… Jazz Dance Fight, that is all.
Agree, I don’t think he’s right for bond. Bond is supposed to be suave
Hardy can do whatever
Never heard of it. Looks really interesting. I may have to check that out.
IMO, it’s an A-class series. Up there with Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. But you have to appreciate a touch of history, as well as British-ness, to really get into it.
Does it throw in the gratuitous nudity and schlock?
Or can I invite the wife to watch too? 🙂
Nudity and violence. You can skip through the bits.
Thanks for the heads up.
Was there a supreme court case when Bruce Springsteen cancelled his concert in North Carolina after the state passed a controversial bathroom bill? Or is that not an apt comparison?
Private business owner cancelled his business in NC. I had no issues with it.
Ditto.
But no, that’s not an apt comparison, because in the bakery case, the idea is that somebody was trying to get the bakery to do something the owner didn’t want to do, whereas Springsteen pulled his business as a result of his disagreement with an unrelated state law.
When people go with the PC dogma, it’s perfectly fine.
It’s when you go against PC dogma that there’s trouble.
Speaking of tits. They were a cornerstone during the first season of Westworld.
I don’t know that I’ve seen any during season two.
I still need to watch last nights episode. Love westworld
Shogunworld….I want that
Shogun world is awesome.
Westworld is awesome. What I don’t get is the park reliving British control in India…that seems like a really niche fantasy for someone to pay top dollar for.
I tried to watch that show SEAL Team on CBS, but surprisingly it didn’t hold my interest. That stuff is usually up my alley.
Crappy
If it’s crappy TV, it’s probably on CBS.
I gave it a Pepsi try, no bueno
That’s the official company slogan
I actually kinda like it. It got better after the first few episodes.
Following GOT
I’ve not seen any of S2, canceled HBO for a little while, if they are making me wait 2 years for more GOT I’m gonna get them back a little bit.
Started watching an Amazon original called “Crossing”. It’s picking up.
Starting watching season 1 but lost interest after 4-5 episodes.
Did anyone read the article about Peterson, the school deputy for at the Broward shooting? Tough stuff.
Sounds like he was at least one of the people that recommended that the kid be Baker acted
so he was aware of the kid and his problems

Love a broccoli and feta fajita………mmmmmm!
Broccoli crunch salad, with bacon…on a fajita
I tell you wut
Meh…..just eat the raw broccoli
why
He’s a c**t like that
lol
Yes…raw. Then dipped in a bacon-cheddar-ranch dressing.
You konw what I find surprisingly delicious? Crunchy fried (olive oil) kale lightly salted.
Kale is good stuff (so is olive oil)
Olive oil is the lifeblood of…ummm…lifeblood.
greek or italian? I’ve been to both places and love their cuisine. They both take their olives and olive oil seriously.
Half Italian. Olive oil is a miracle substance, though, on many levels. It was the gold currency of the ancient world…well…besides gold.
Raised on it.
Yup
Kale chips…out of the oven
Yea man. Good eat’n for sure
Yes! Wife makes those and they’re really good. Kosher salt is key.
Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that liberals have lost grasp of “liberalism”. Conservatives have done the same with their own socio-political philosophy in favor of this bastardized brand of “Trumpism”.
No one is all one thing… unless you are Walter or D_C… then you’re all loony
And Puke fans…who are all through-and-through jagoffs
It’s those darn liberal millennials.
They just make shit up as they go.
Like the rest of us…
Liberal and Conservative are mostly misnomers. We even call a wing of the GOP Neo-Cons, but their politics are really considered Neo-Liberalism.
The nomenclature of all this crap flip-flops every couple of generations.
Basically, distilled down to one sentence, true liberals want the government to solve people’s problems, and true conservatives want the government to leave them alone to solve their own problems. Both sides have gone far, far away from that, particularly the GOP. That’s how I’ve thought of it.
Well I’m a big believer in the idea that every 50 years or so America has a need to re-shift it’s political parties and their ideologically and primary focuses. And part of why we’re having these issues now is that said shift has needed to happen since 2001 but the system’s been designed by the D’s and R’s to fight against that kind of thing.
But if you look at when the shifts happen, first one was the late 1700’s when the parties were formed. Then a big one in the 1850’s when the Whigs died off because they wouldn’t deal with the issue of slavery. Then the nineteen teens when the populist wing of the Republicans like Roosevelt split from the Taft wing. Then the next one was in the 60’s when the conservative dixiecrats left the democrats over the civil rights movement backed by LBJ.
We’re past due.
Nice post, Alex.
Wish I could say it’s an original thought. really just mixing political theories together based on all the various things I’ve learned and observed through my love of history and politics.
If I were REALLY smart than I’d be able to tell you how it will all shake out. At best right now all I can tell you is that the the things the 2 parities accuse each-other of the most will by why the 2 parties end up splitting. The Democrats will have to split eventually over economic issues, and the Republicans will have to split over social issues.
The question is 1st who breaks up first, and who aligns with who in the end?
The stranglehold that 2 parties has on the system is a real problem. I’m a right-leaning centrist, but I actually voted for Ralph Nader in an election simply as a “protest” vote in the hopes of seeing another party emerge.
What happened with Trump is actually good for politics, IMO. It’s the heart-attack that American politics needs to get off the fast food and cigarettes; and reassess what the flying H the leadership of this country is doing.
Trump is senile maroon, who I hope is dragged out of the WH in cuffs…and yet somehow I still prefer him to Hillary Clinton. That’s where I am with politics right now.
The duopoly has to be dragged out into the street and burned.
They are the same crooks playing the same game wearing different jerseys. The difference between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump is the difference between Burger King and McDonalds.
Disagree, the duopoly is stronger than ever.
I think the duopoly is under threat. There are Republicans who want to break from Trumpism, but waiting for the right moment. The Democratic party’s rift between the Bernie-left and the Clinton-establishment is already on full display. I’m not saying that the 2-party system is about to die, but it’s in upheaval.
The DNCs rift between Socialist and Davo is already on full display.
I agree Pfunk. The question is will the new parties or branches of existing parties go to the center and make more sense, or cut to the extremes and make things worse.
Best thing you can do is try and re-configure to thinking to a political spectrum where there’s no real center. think of everyone who cares politically as existing in as a molecule in a 3D doughnut shape.
Problem is figuring out who re-joins with who.
Even though I’m a 3rd party guy I realize that eventually if they break up into 4 parties it eventually goes back to 2 parties.
The anti-spending, pro national defense, pro-life, anti-crime crowd has been trying to break away from the GOP for years now in the form of the tea party.
“The anti-spending, pro national defense, pro-life, anti-crime crowd”
Problem is you just described the platform for the entire GOP. You won’t split away unless you actually find hard and clear dividing lines to split up on.
That may be the published platform – and I strongly agree with it – but it’s not what the GOP has become in practical reality, which is why the tea party exists.
The GOP is NOT anti spending
They say they are, but reality is otherwise.
Neo-libbies went so far left that they circumnavigated the political spectrum
That’s not what neo-liberalism are or means. It’s mostly about pro-active militarism to keep one’s status as a world power and focus mostly on the global economy.
Come on. Work with me here.
Good news for k0n

Similarly… if anyone from your “financial” website had scrolled through your comments shortly after the Trump election… they would now have quit your services.
I once tried to advocate us not participating in these conversations. You can see how that went. In addition to turning off advertisers, it’s a turn off to other users.

True. I mean I don’t care about off topic stuff or cursing, but when we post photoshops of Obama in drag calling himself a pussy… Just no.

For the record, what started this is that I posted a 2 line CNN update about the Colorado bakery SC case, which had no analysis to it at all, just the announcement of the basic decision. The hysterical crowd did their job and took it to hysterical heights.

Can’t make a Jew bake a German chocolate cake!
Even though, German was the guy’s name. Nothing to do with Germany.
Pretty sure the guys name was Herman but the Mexicans got angry about the spelling and changed it to Jerman. White’s got mad at that spelling and changed it to German.
God damn white people.
Self loathing
Always causing problems for everyone
technically it’s German’s Chocolate Cake
Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American baker Samuel German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker’s Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him.
the cake itself dates to a contest in 1957
and
June 11 is National German’s Chocolate Cake Day in America.
Now tell use about caeser salad
Invented by Sid Caeser
Wrong!
Caesar salad, whole anchovies or anchovie paste?
Paste?
Ewww
In most your quick eats places the paste stuff is what they use.
blegch
Giada uses it in her cooking all the time…it’s not bad
whole is best imo, but had both and paste can be good too…
Whole anchovies
raw egg too
My preference too
Heck yea.
When I spot it on the menu, I ask if it’s an authentic Ceasar. If it’s not, I won’t do it.
I loves me a real Ceasar salad.
me too. Carmines in NYC has a real good one.
Paste doesn’t necessarily suck, and it’s easier to catch!
You can still find them in stores, unlike Kellogg’s ill-fated Hitler Flakes.
Well, decision on what I’m doing tonight while watching the caps was made for me, after a week of vacation I’ve got $0 in the checking account.

in case you missed the other important news
it’s not ok for a white police officer to stop a fleeing black suspect by hitting him with his police car in GA
we made some progress!
How do we know the officer didn’t mistake the suspect’s cell phone for an SUV?
If I knew a particular baker hated bearded Redskins fans and didn’t want to bake cakes for them… would I want a cake from him?
Trick question, the cake is not chocolate so he’s probably a communist.
Or worse, a Ravens fan.
If you lived in Dallas probably
Amazing how the liberals up here don’t comprehend the liberal principle in this case – and of course not because anytime religion is involved they get hateful and stupid over it. Had this case been about an atheist baker being “forced” to make a cake for a christening, you can bet the liberals would be up in arms.
It’s amazing that we were talking football until Steve showed up.
You were never talking football
Slow football day. CAPS and such. You know, sports.
So football= hockey
Gotcha
It’s just so easy to prove your utter lack of intellect.
You should just stop posting.
It’s cute to see you and D_C holding blog hands
Like a moron, you jumped to all sorts of conclusions about this case without knowing anything about it and without having read the opinion. That’s exactly why I posted the CNN blurb – I knew the closed-minded hand-wringing liberals out there would lose their minds. A 6-2 or 7-2 case is fairly one-sided, and includes at least 1 liberal even in the event somebody recused themselves. Notice that I didn’t opine at all about the case.
Well you supported it. Isn’t that you expressing your opinion?
IOW, he was just trolling, which he says he doesn’t do.
and btw, I’m fine with the trolling because there’s fuck-all to talk about re: the Redskins right now. Just lose the holier-than-thou attitude.
If I had any respect for, I wouldn’t troll you, but…I don’t.
Notice that all I did was cut and paste 2 sentences from CNN about a decision that didn’t contain opinion or analysis. I knew you two would take care of the hysteria.
And you can stop it with the personal insults any time.
No, he really can’t.
Steve never brings up political things, but he will discuss them.
BWHAHAHAHA!!
I’m not sure there’s a less intelligent or less sophisticated person who’s ever interacted with this website. See below.
I’m sure there is. See above.
There isn’t. He get’s along with no one and adds nothing to the blog.
🎤 drop
My guess is that all the conservatives would leap to defend the atheist, too. Right?
I would.
No one sees the irony in criticizing this decision as discrimination while at the same time making all sorts of jokes and derogatory comments against religion huh…
It flat cracks me up. Religion denies rights, choice and speech.
But is used as an argument to protect the right of speech.
lol
This religious belief denied a right?
There’s a stretch
I think he means how most religious guidelines have rules within them that would be considered unconstitutional if made part of US law.
Well considering this is in response to this specific case I would say it’s a pretty lame statement
Not gonna agree or disagree. Just trying to clarify what I think he’s saying.
You’re lame
Lamer
Mclamenstein
I thought it was Lamey McLamerton
Him too
The issue is whether the government has the right to infringe upon a private business owner’s personal religious beliefs in order to protect a non-constitution right of a customer.
I understand that. I do wonder how it works with how folks used to use religious beliefs to justify things like not serving blacks or not hiring the Irish.
How would you do that? What religion would that be?
WWJD
WWBHD is more appropriate
He’d kick that bakers tables over and tell him to be a carpenter cuz his cakes suck
He’d more than likely say whoever is free from sin should be the first one to decide who doesn’t get a cake.
He may also tell the gay folks that if their “parts” are causing them to sin they should pluck them out and cast them into the sea because it is better to enter the kingdom of Heaven without “parts” than to be cast into Gehenna.
Or something like that.
What a convoluted nonsensical thought. I could just as easily say that being “liberal” denies certain rights, choices and speech.
You’d actually be very, very right
It is spot the hell on
Dogma demands conformity
It straight up removes the right to choose. To speech. To individuality.
This is where Starbucks screwed up. Should have said they have a religious objection to black people using their restrooms.
Nonsense. People make a free choice to conform to the norms of their religious beliefs, just as they do with their socio-political ones. Utter nonsense.
Nonsense my foot
You have to conform to the church or face excommunication
Or stoning
There’s no such thing as ex communication in western Protestantism
This is why Calvin said fuck this, I’m outtie. Me and my beer are going to pray on the other side of the street. Bitches.
Or was that Luther?
And if I’m a Democrat who decides to run on a pro-life, pro-gun rights, cut-welfare platform what would happen to me?
You’d get a lot more votes from the middle?
You’d be a hero to middle class folks who are forced to choice between their own best benefit and their most deeply held beliefs about morality and the constitution?
What the shit do liberals and democrats have to do with any of this?
Well since you’re clearly not following the conversation line…not surprising considering the nonsense you’ve sputtered on this. Whateves.
pfft
You would be Bill Clinton? (okay except the pro-life stuff dude loved himself some abortions)
Do you even know what “excommunication” is? Do you equate all religion with a particular dimension of Roman Catholicism? Where do you even get your information from?
Good gravy
JFC
Church has rules. They must be adhered to. Or, you get the lash.
Simply isn’t the case… not even close. Pretty easy to see who has never stepped foot in a church
Baptized and all that.
Yep… and as soon as you sinned they gave you the lash
GTFOH
They burned me on the cross. That shit hurt.
Clearly just hyperbole with an anti-Catholic bias. (Which is one of those biases that is allowed these days … no problem.)
No kidding. I think Kon got his information about the church from a Robin Hood movie, or maybe some self-appointed ignoramus like Richard Dawkins.
There’s also a constitutionally-guaranteed right to practice your religion free of governmental interference. You’re forgetting that.
I am not forgetting anything.
I am though pointing out the irony.
steve,
what if his religion dictates he not make cakes for black couples? or mixed race couples? or jews?
…again, what religion thinks it’s a sin to be black?
Literally was a normal thing to think up for about 1,000 years of Christianity.
I guess we were talking about bakers over 1000 years ago?
The Mormons thought that through the 1970’s.
I dunno about Christians, you got too many sub-sects to keep track of to figure out which ones hate which.
Y’all got to simplify, pick 1 group to make a thing.
You are confusing sects with actual religion. They are not one and the same. Even religion isn’t really the set of beliefs… that would be more akin to spirituality. Religion is man made.
are you saying mormonism is not a valid religious belief?
So now we’re talking the 70’s… at least you’re getting closer to a modern example. 50 years is better than 1000 years.
you are missing the point, unsurprisinigly.
and, do you consider a mormon’s religious beliefs as worthy of “protection” as your religion?
You have no valid point, unsurprisingly
Actually no point at all… which is typical for you. You just flail around blindly with your ridiculous blather. You offer nothing to this blog, you have no valid viewpoint beyond your knitting circle, and you never talk football.
At least D_C talks football… you just cry
so, you are incapable of conducting a thought experiment. what if there were a religion that prevented making cakes for black people? or left-handed people? or mixed race couples?
You’re ridiculous if/then experiments are a waste… it’s not surprising that it’s your stock in trade. They are a waste… as you are a waste
thanks! as if to illustrate my point.
You’re welcome… you need some introspection as you are a ridiculous waste of a human being… but it’s not too late.
No it wasn’t…it may have been a normal thing for certain people to think who also associated themselves with Christian groups at times. Never in the teachings of Christianity, nor in the normal practice of the church who sent missionaries out to Africa for 1000 years.
We need to see how the opinion is written to answer that question.
Re: The Baker and the Cake
I’ve not read the SC reasoning yet, but from what I know about the case, protecting the baker’s rights is the proper decision. If you read the nuances of the situation, the baker did not refuse to serve gays (which is what has widely been misunderstood). The baker did not want to serve a particular event. People should have the right to refuse their business to certain events on conscientious grounds – which is different from denying service to a class of people. For the liberals crying bloody murder over this, imagine other comparable scenarios: Should a Jewish tailor be forced to create Neo-Nazi costumes to be used in a Holocaust myth rally? Should a black carpenter be forced to create a cross to be used at a KKK rally? Should a pacificst print-media designer be forced to make flyers for the NRA?
Not sure I would equate a gay wedding with the Holocaust
I’m not. I’m equating one form of conscientious objecting to another.
it’s not severity but principle that equates
I haven’t read it either, but I believe you’ve properly identified the issue, which was that the cake was for a gay wedding.
He made it clear that had the couple been ordering for any other kind of event – birthday, graduation, etc. He would have been happy to serve them. Also, had a hetero couple come in asking for a cake for their friend’s gay wedding, he’d have refused as well.
so he refused based on “sexual orientation”. isn’t that disallowed in our laws? you know, “race, creed, sex, religion….”. has “sexual orientation” been added to that lexicon?
what if he had a religious reason for not wanting to make a cake for a black couple? or, a mixed race couple.
What religion has objections to being black?
it’s a serious question. and you surely know people wrongly or rightly hid behind the bible for racial discrimination in the 60s. there’s old testament crap about mixing of races and religions.
Try to keep up… arguing ideals of half a century ago makes no cents
There’s simply no way around it.
God is straight. And gay. Bisexual too.
oooohhh….. so THAT’s what the trinity means,
Oh, and tranny as hell
Well if he’s Gay and Straight, by default he’s bi.
I view businesses as two types of entities either private or public
private are ones owned by a person or family
public are ones owned by a company or corporation
private business can serve whomever they want or don’t want to
public business must serve everyone equally
if a private business doesn’t want to serve blacks, Jews, left-handed people, etc. that’s fine by me
I can elect not to use their services also
public businesses should not have restrictions on whom they serve
that’s my personal viewpoint on all this
I’d say that public businesses are publicly traded and therefore subject to SEC regulations, whereas this bakery that Austin now hates is a closely held private business which avoids SEC regulation.

That would be amusing
Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court ruled narrowly in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to bake a cake to celebrate the marriage of a same sex couple because of a religious objections.
The ruling was 6-2.
I wouldn’t call that “narrowly”
Nope, that’s not narrow
Who abstained?
Haven’t seen the opinion.
It was 7-2.
Thomas wrote a concurring opinion and concurred in the judgement, according to The Hill. Also haven’t read the opinion.
Sotomyer and Ginsburg
SHOCKING!
They are probably the two who dissented, not abstained.
I was asking based on the 6-2 thing Steve mentioned, assumed someone had a conflict of interest & didn’t side 1 way or the other.
7-2
not 6-2
It might have just been a CNN typo.
They opposed the decision — not the same as abstaining.
I believe it was actually 7-2
Somebody might have recused themselves for some reason. Don’t know. CNN easily could’ve got it wrong. I just cut and paste it.
CNN got it wrong? Nah… couldn’t be true
CNN The 2 N’s mean “Not good with Numbers”
Just call for a boycott of the baker and run them out of business.
Easy peasy
Sure
Well maybe not run them out of business, but significantly impact their bottom line.
Can it also be assumed that the baker could refuse to make a cake for a Jewish, Muslim or Mormon wedding on religious grounds?
Lotta those going on in Colorado?
I think that you may be a little out there with this thinking. It’s not like millenials who are inclined to do this whole boycott thing are getting married in droves. He’ll GET just as much business in support as he’ll lose here.
Nice try though
If he refused to and didn’t want the profits and let it hit his own bottom line, what’s the problem? Isn’t that his choice?
It’s only his choice if the choice is within Austin’s approved worldview.
Or let people believe what they want to and don’t punish them because you don’t agree
Would you order from the web store of a business that openly discriminated against white people in their brick-and-mortar operation?
people would never discriminate based on race, but if they did, good on them for asserting their rights!
…and let’s be clear about this… the court tried to make this as specific as possible… if you have a serious religious objection. This isn’t open ended for everyone.
I applaud the baker for sticking up for his religious beliefs.
Absolutely
I hope he has to file for bankruptcy.
Just leave the guy alone. How tragic that he doesn’t live up to your personal beliefs.
That’s exactly what I’m doing. Leaving him alone. I’ll support the entrepreneur that cashes in on his stupidity.
Make sure you go by a whole lotta wedding cakes from his competitor
what a dolt
Not surprising that you don’t agree that people are entitled to application of their personal religious beliefs in the operation of their private business.
Is it okay to refuse service to Jews, Muslims, Quakers and Mormons?
I’d say that you should go read the opinion and find out, but there’s pretty much zero chance that you would understand it.
I would say that you can’t answer the question, and it’s a simple one. Where do you draw the line?
Just gay people?
I would say that you don’t understand the issues of the case. See above.
So now being gay is a religion…
wierd
No, it’s about refusing based on strong religious objections. What if you strongly object to Jews, Muslims, Quakers, Mormons and Catholics?
Nice try.
Because if then arguments always win
You just aren’t very smart
Why it’s his choice to serve what customer he wants to
I would just not utilize his services
Ironically…dogma denies speech. Even choice, is not an option.
What are people who care about the game tonight doing for the game tonight?
Sitting at home in my chair watching the game. But I’m not a good person to ask.
I am debating if I want to go watch it outside the stadium like folks were last game. Conflicted because it looks like fun, but I hate people.
I definitely wouldn’t do that. I’d maybe go find a good sports bar if you want to go somewhere.
seems like the worst of both worlds, alex. you have to deal with all the traffic and people and expensive drinks/food, no bathrooms, and you don’t even get to watch it live.
Watching it from the couch
Leaning to the couch. But also feel like it’s a big enough deal where going out should be an option.
If I were an actual hockey fan and lived in the area I could see that… but neither really apply to me although I have thoroughly enjoyed these playoff games.
See, that’s my thing. I’m loyal to all the DC teams but only a casual hockey fan at best.
I’m just enough of an introvert that I would never, ever go outside into a crowd to watch a game in the middle of the street, even if it were the Redskins in the Super Bowl.
Save that for a closeout game.
Inviting my buddy Andres Cantor over for the game. Chants of GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLL!!!! will be epic.

Also who are Pusha-T and Drake?
I know who Drake is. I don’t know who Pusha-T is. My rap fan friend says that Drake is a poser whose street lyrics are written by someone else. Beyond that, I don’t know.
He’s a rich poser! Filthy rich!
Further more who cares?

I blame this on global warming because the Earth is reacting to cool the climate and the best way to that are massive volcanic eruptions which would shroud the Earth is a cooling cloud of volcanic ash

So what Bill is saying is that he’d still have harassed his intern, had oral sex with her in the oval office while on the phone with a congressman, and then lied about it under oath. He’s okay with all of that, apparently.
Obviously the whole affair was unseemly, but I don’t think I would call it harassment as she apparently came on to him. By definition harassment involves “unwanted” advances.
In any situation where it’s an office and a superior involved, the situation of what’s “unwanted” becomes murky at best.
