Didn't see the game, but read about it

And the outcome stinks to high heaven: "Here's the Latest on That Shambolic Michigan-Western Michigan Game".

The initial attempt by Michigan quarterback Bryan Underwood was unsuccessful, but the refs decided that their secret clock had one second left. That’s not what NBC had, or anyone else. Also, what is this other clock, folks? It was a brutal way to lose for Western Michigan, and now the MAC has released a new statement noting that replay protocols were not properly followed...

As usual, the Babylon Bee has the inside skinny: "Breakthrough As Scientists At University Of Michigan Develop Ability To Travel Back In Time One Second".

If through some terrible quirk of fate I were ever to find myself on a blue state jury consisting mostly of women...

...I would confess to the crime myself rather than have to sit in the same room with deranged morons such as these for a single hour: "Fourth Clancy Juror Breaks Her Silence – Explains Why She Changed Her Vote and Makes a Troubling Revelation About What Happened Inside the Jury Room".

"Art Garfunkel Says He Is Considering Leaving America Over Trump’s Presidency".

I seriously doubt this is anything more than posturing. Even Americans who have left are now returning. 

And get this:

“It’s shocking, and you think: how on earth are we gonna change the presidency?”

Dude, were you asleep in the back of your Civics class when they talked about elections?

I'm diggin' the washing machine (at about 33:18). My maternal grandmother had one of those (it was an upgrade from a zinc tub, washboard and rollers).

"Police Track Stolen Republican Campaign Signs to Home of Retired Professor and Pastor Wife".

Leftists think they can justify everything from theft to murder. They're no longer just a political party, a movement or an ideology. They are a tribe. 

The evolution of the Democratic Party

It went from white supremacism to blue collar dominance to aggrandizement of the power of the state to socialism to communism, and now it threatens to fall prey to Islamic extremism. I believe that the trajectory is leading to something like this.
