I write and podcast about the NFL. I've never been owned online (see bio). I did the "enemy speak kindly and holds a knife" tweet. I write about bad faith politics here: https://bad-faith-times.ghost.io/

I’m headed to Greece today. I will have 2.5 gyros every day for the next ten days. This is analytics.

You want your buns on the grill? Do you hear yourself

Probably this is still truer than we’d like to admit

good and bad things have never been more similar

Biden could do some pretty cool things with his new unlimited powers if Democrats had any political imagination at all

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Some news: I am ready for Kamala.

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

Personally, I am 100% morally OK with refraining from talking shit about the absolute best hopes we have for escaping the prospect of a nuclear superpower falling to violent civil conflict for just a few more months in the interest of helping them win, regardless of my own personal feelings.

"It's why we cried on election night" is still ringing in my ears two days after my wife said it.

just gotta do what must be done. it’s that’s simple.

Well said. I am right there in lockstep with how your wife reacted. I’m not quite as pessimistic as you (I don’t think democracy is over if Trump wins), but I agree that we need to saddle up and win this damn thing

when my daughter was a toddler she referred to the simpsons as “the citizens” so that’s what the show is known as in our house

I always appreciate Denny's writing and you should follow him, but it really doesn't bode well for our country that someone whose day job is fantasy football is one of our most clear-eyed writers about politics

I was reminded the other night of why Trump's debate performances have always been so disturbing, even if they seemed kind of silly and stupid at the time. bad-faith-times.ghost.io/that-sucked-...

That Sucked Biglybad-faith-times.ghost.io That Joe Biden is the final bulwark against an organized and determined fascist movement will not do much for my sleep.

anytime i’m hitting the golf ball like shit i simply create more space between me and the golf ball and i hit it less shittily

Colorado will probably be +8-10 Dem in November. These make no sense.

Apparently this is the poll that has every Democrat freaking out today, and I have... questions... about the pre-debate numbers.

I love this guy's posture. He always looks like he's in the front row of an airplane where the roof just flew off.

That Trump is even allowed to run is breathtaking. What kind of system allows someone to run for the land’s highest office after leading an effort to overthrow the government?

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

yeah i do think cannon is basically guaranteed a SCOTUS seat if trump wins in november. she's worked diligently to protect him and has proven her worth.

The three liberal SCOTUS judges will be in danger too. He will say that Ketanji Brown Jackson was DEI and an illegitimate appointment. And if he can't remove them, he will make an executive order packing the court with 10 more judges. Aileen Cannon is guaranteed going to the SCOTUS if Trump wins.
