Politics And Current Events

Where the debate begins in his "worst in history" is quite simply his attempts to pressure Congress and state governments into installing him as a dictator, throwing out the democratic process. I understand that Shyster comes from a libertarian, the federal govt barely has a reason to exist, mindse...

Politics And Current Events

There's a spectrum between alt-right neo-nazi lunatic and a centrist republican. Trump certainly isn't an extreme on either of those as far as his admin/politics go, but he's still GOP. A lot of people view the GOP's positions and policies as counter productive. So when you combine a vision of coun...

Yeah, that 30% that is devout to Trump isn't latching on to anybody else. It'll be interesting to see what comes after. I mean the Dems have no leadership structure moving forward, but at least they aren't looking for a new golden idol to worship.

And I have to admit to slightly checking out.
Mizzou is butt, the Juwan Howard experiment has expired back in my birthplace, so the only team I have to root for with a winning record is my father's alma mater Drexel. Lean times in Bear household.

KenPom likes them a lot more than the RPI does it seems, so maybe I'll give them a pass.
What's interesting is that Ken Pom actually likes VT more than UVa

Or maybe UVA has a really low floor as evidenced by scoring a combined 88 points over their last two games and their other horrible losses to Notre Dame(#223) and NC State (#90).

Good on you, CB. :thumb: Agreed. Rec sports aren’t even fun anymore due to the team stacking. It happens everywhere. We did baseball for a bit and the coaches would have a “draft” before the season. One team always ended up with the kids that were more experienced and played together for years and ...

So we're going to make these shoes, you see, and we'll keep them for ourselves but claim they sold out to create the illusion of excessive demand. Then, we can auction them off at outrageous prices and because people will think there's actually a collectors market for it they'll pay it. It'll be gre...

I owe a lot to early intervention. Our original pediatricians were incompetent, and it took a PT from early intervention noticing my daughter's head tilt while visiting another child at school and letting us know to get it checked out. Went back to the pediatrician to discuss and they were like, 'o...

Also, I have been sucked into playing Fortnite with my 10 year old. There are certainly worse things he could have asked me to do.

He gets the 60" TV and the Series X, I hook up the Switch up to a 24" gaming monitor on a TV tray on other side of the couch.

Another night of winter soccer, another 10-1 loss, accompanied by a crying 11 year old on the ride home. I’m just disgusted with this season, and would prefer just not showing up to anymore games. But that’s not us, so we’ll continue to suffer. There’s a team in our basketball league like this. I f...

No disagreement with that, Creed's performance has been overall excellent. Just noting there's a path that would allow it, but I can't see either party pursuing it.

Creed played guard the last week of the season despite never playing it before. And he needs to stop rolling snaps.

But Jason's not going anywhere. He's anchored to Philly and the Jersey Shore. My Philly connections say he's very content as just another Dad in the neighborhood.

moving the KC shooting here


seeing that there’s 1 dead, 22 injured and 8 in life threatening condition


god dammit
I believe we’re at 2 dead after a woman about 40 died in surgery. Sounds like the 9 kids with GSWs will all make full physical recoveries thank fully.

Shots fired inside near Union Station at the culmination of the parade and celebration.

Sounds like in the parking garage next door. Early reports two armed suspects in custody, they were performing CPR on 2 people
