@BlueBoxDave Is anyone arguing that it's legal for a President to cut funding approved by Congress? Is anyone saying its prudent to give access to our most sensitive data to 19-yr-olds? Forget popular; how is it justifiable?

@BonellPeter @BlueBoxDave America for all its flaws is richer and more powerful—and has benefitted from the status quo—more than any other country. Why burn down a propserous, successful democracy? To what end? As a character said in "The Insider": “What got broken here does not go back together.”

@BlueBoxDave ha it's an awesome squib. I'm heartbroken that a clip of me on "Late Night with Craig Ferguson" was somehow scrubbed from YouTube. It was a flattering -- read "years ago" -- video. No same, tho. Time roughs us all up, eventually.

@patrickberzai3 @justblaze2424 @amiablexaly PS in 2011, Eli threw for SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO yards including the playoffs. Most in a season by any SB champ.

@patrickberzai3 @amiablexaly Do you know his passer-rating in those runs? Did you see the many 4th quarter comebacks? Or, hell, do you know where he is on the alltime yards and TD lists, playoffs and regular season?

@patrickberzai3 @amiablexaly no, look at the stats of those two playoff runs, and also at the games themselves

@BradyAustin98 Players who play better for Thibs than for any other coach is long and growing longer. Look at DDV and Randle, as well as Hart and JB and Precious. Does he ever get credit for anything?

@BlueBoxDave American post-'90 hegemony=a period of unique peace/prosperity. But "control" the entire world? That feels, at best, Napoleonic. And even Napoleon couldn't beat Russia's top generals, General January and General February. Ended up with a lot of corpses. Such thinking often does.

@forevershinin Carmelo had 17 40-pt games as a Knick between 4/8/12–1/29/17. Almost 5 years. Brunson has 18, between 1/9/23 and 2/3/25. A little over 2 years. He also has a higher winning percentage as a Knick. More assists. More playoff victories. I love Melo. But Brunson is making the case
