The NBA’s defending champion Golden State Warriors survived two opponents this past Monday night. The first was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who nearly dethroned the Warriors before the champs won three straight games to stagger back into the NBA Finals. The second opponent was less formidable but just as obvious: backlash against the team that has been the darlings of basketball for two seasons.
Yep, Everything Checks Out

Gawker Media Editors · 06/02/16 03:40PM
It was surprising to hear the news last week that right-wing billionaire investor Peter Thiel has been secretly trying to destroy Gawker Media through proxy lawsuits. It was dispiriting, and less surprising, to hear the conversation that followed the revelation. The discussion begins, in most cases, with the premise that Gawker is bad. Even those who are rightly alarmed at Thiel’s unprecedented attack on an institution that he regards as “terrible for the Valley” usually feel the need to preface that conclusion with some form of “I hate to defend Gawker, but...”
Hillary Clinton's Foreign Policy Plan: Donald Trump Is a Crazy Person
Andy Cush · 06/02/16 03:15PM
In a speech that was ostensibly about foreign policy given this afternoon in San Diego, Hillary Clinton’s main point of focus was not on America’s allies and enemies abroad, but her own enemy at home, Donald Trump. “Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different, they are dangerously incoherent,” she told the crowd. “They’re not even really ideas—just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.”
Trump Delegate: Americans "Need to Have the Weaponry Necessary to Be Able to Overthrow the Federal Government"
Brendan O'Connor · 06/02/16 02:55PM
Mother Jones has identified several Republican delegates representing Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in July who have also affiliated themselves with the radical anti-government Patriot movement. One delegate from Tennessee, David Riden, told Mother Jones that members of the current administration may need to be...well: “The polite word is, eliminated. The harsh word is killed.” In 2016, the lunatic fringe moves ever closer to the mainstream.

Tom Scocca · 06/02/16 02:20PM
One of the difficulties the mainstream press has faced in covering the Donald Trump campaign is that Trump is a ceaseless and aggressive liar. The traditional etiquette standards known as “objective journalism” discourage media outlets from pointing out that a politician’s message is contrary to known facts—to do so seems like taking sides, or, God forbid, expressing an opinion.

The leader of a Black Lives Matter chapter in Pasadena, California, was convicted this week on a felony charge that was known as “lynching” until recently, for her alleged role in a confrontation with police last year. Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation changing the law’s name after a different black activist was charged with lynching last year.
Stacey Dash's Powerful Message to Trans People: Urinate and Defecate in Bushes
Rich Juzwiak · 06/02/16 11:35AM
As a troll, actress/Fox News professional conservative Stacey Dash (Clueless) probably knows a thing or two about peeing outside: under bridges, into fountains, in bushes. So since we’re dealing with an expert, it’s important to listen when she advises a group to void their waste in public. In this case, said group is transgender people, to whom she advised during an interview with Entertainment Tonight: “Go in the bushes. I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law so that you can be comfortable with your beliefs, which means I have to change my beliefs and my rights. No.”

Gabrielle Bluestone · 06/02/16 10:58AM
Yesterday the New York Times reported that Ruth Guerra, the head of Hispanic relations for the Republican National Committee, would be leaving her position for reasons rumored to rhyme with Donald Trump. Taking her place is Helen Aguirre Ferre, a former journalist whose first act of business is scrubbing all the things she’s said about Trump on Twitter—none of which appear to be positive.
