I wonder why he didn't use the term "Radical Islamic Terrorism" while in Saudi Arabia? It seemed so important to him when Obama wouldn't use the term.

I enjoyed Alien Covenant. Came in with lower expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Isaiah Thomas out for the remainder of the postseason. I think their chances to win it all just went down a smidge.

LOL who's going to feel sorry for them? This is Trump's M.O. Shame on them for thinking he'd change once elected.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 19, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) Safeco is notorious for keeping the roof open whenever they can so in April and May during night games they keep it open even when it's damp and in the 40s. I've been to some miserable games in early spring where you are chilled to the bone by the marine layer. It's been a really cold spring here, I think everybody, including the players, is glad it's finally warming up. Another fellow Soxtalker in the area.

Anyone have a good guess as to who this person of interest is in the White House?

2 eps into the new season of Master of None and digging it so far.

Awesome tribute to Cornell all day on kexp.org here in Seattle. They archive all their programming in case anyone wants to listen to today's shows.

Before Bowie died, I was listening to nothing but Let's Dance, Low, and Young Americans. Before Prince died, strictly Prince. And for the past couple weeks, I have been listening to a lot of Audioslave Try popping on a Kid Rock or Ted Nugent CD later today.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 17, 2017 -> 06:42 AM) Great episode of The Americans last night. It was interesting, though, that they covered an entire story line in one episode where other story lines have been going on for seasons. I'm wondering also if Oleg's actions in Russia are going to interact with what's going on in the US. I'd have to imagine there will something down the line that brings it together. Yeah, I really liked that episode. I do hope Oleg's story crosses over to the others. Same with Stan. Those two storylines are boring the hell out of me this season.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 17, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) I'm going to be in Seattle for two days for work next week. We're staying in Pioneer Square. Any particularly interesting restaurants or places in the vicinity? Won't have more than a couple hours a night to get to see the city Check out any of these places just north of Pioneer Square (Walking distance or a quick Lyft): Von's 1000 Spirits The Triple Door if there's someone interesting playing. They serve food from the Wild Ginger which is pretty awesome. Japonessa for sushi Radiator Whiskey Also, Pyramid Ale House across from SafeCo is a decent brewpub/sports bar.

@joncoopertweets White House sources say Trump is cursing up a storm - ranting and raving. Yelling at staffers & using the "F" word. He's losing it tonight. via

QUOTE (Tony @ May 16, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) Take a step back for a second. Think about how far away we are from the White House even coming close to being able to talk about the real issues, passing legislation, healthcare, etc. They play cleanup 24/7 now. It's really incredible. Not true. Plenty of time in the day to get in 18 holes.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 16, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) Obstruction of justice is wrong. Who knew? it's probably all fake news anyway. That's probably why the Senate Intelligence Chairman is outsourcing oversight to the media.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ May 16, 2017 -> 02:53 PM) The usual suspects will continue to deny, need concrete proof. From an earlier post: "An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations."

Can this be what finally takes Trump down or is that wishful thinking?

What's the deal with Erik Erickson? Was he a #NeverTrump guy?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ May 16, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) so reviving old shows is becoming a thing? They're bringing back Will & Grace too. Waiting for Small Wonder to come back.

Veep has been up and down this season. Loved last week's episode but thought this recent one was pretty awful.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 16, 2017 -> 06:43 AM) edit: this statement from Rather was on 5/12, before the world found out Trump shared classified information with the Russians Can someone PM this to greg? I know it's not Rush/Hannity so he may disregard but he needs to actually read stuff outside of Fox News once in a while.

For any Republican congressperson defending this, I'd love to see a reporter ask, on air, if they'd react the same way if it was President Hillary Clinton who did this.

Is this impeachable? Can we get rid of this imbecile already?!?!?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 15, 2017 -> 12:50 PM) Anyone else watching American Gods? Not yet. Sitting on the DVR as I catch up with other shows. You digging it so far?
