There are something like six unemployed people for each job opening right now. He doesn’t have a license nor relevant experience for those openings. You seem to be missing the forest and staring at this particular tree.

I would also like to know if you won.

He can’t be worse than Tebow anyway. So there’s that.

Don’t forget that Trump was renting real estate and use of his own jet, for himself, from his publicly traded casinos in order to pay his privately owned company, i.e. just stealing investor money to make himself rich.

That’s literally the exact opposite of what anyone in finance knows to be true about the Forbes list.

Because Trump has never actually proven to anyone that he’s worth anything close to $10B. Informed reporting shows somewhere between 300,000,000 and 3B. In any case, far less than he would be had he just invested his inheritance in an index fund. Soros is self made. Trump’s dad and grandfather were wealthy. His dad is…

When you consider that that’s a big, team-friendly discount from what he could make, and that it doesn’t come with some Tom Brady bonus shenanigans that actually make it work well for him too, I give him a little leeway for using his birthday to set his price (it is sorta cool to be born on 8/7/87, right?).

Good point about the girlfriend. My wife never cared, never gave me shit about it, but it’s probably not a coincidence that I just sort of stopped wanting to dip once she was pregnant with our first.

I thought Leyland smoked in the dugout when he was managing Detroit much more recently.

Think of it from the other angle. These guys will be used to it every game, while visiting teams will have to adjust or get fined. I think that’s a legit home field advantage once the Cubbies get used to it. Also, it’s not like they won any WS when they could dip on the field.

If none of the habit breaking stuff I mentioned in my other comment works, maybe just get a picture of someone who had most of their face removed due to cancer, keep that in your wallet and look at it before you have a dip. That will probably cut down on the urge pretty quickly.

Pay attention to your triggers. For me it was after hockey, after drinking, when I was driving, after meals and if I played xbox. Try to break the habits one at a time (or instance I stopped dipping on shorter drives first, then longer, etc. before worrying about not doing it after meals, with xbox and drinking the…

Smokeless tobacco causes countless health problems, but what you listed are all smoking-specific.

For a lot of us, two or three paragraphs isn’t all that much reading. Sorry you’re inadequate.

If I were Reggie Bush, I’d pay him not to settle, just to fuck with the NCAA.

Which are they doing when they refuse to meet or hold hearings before the nominee is even named? Is that advising or consenting?

I probably have made this comment/semi-joke a hundred times on Gawker now, but I stand by it. The very best outcome is lame duck Obama, a newly Democratic Senate, and he appoints himself. I did well in ConLaw, but I can’t tell you if that would be okay.

So weird to run into Paul Ryan on Jezebel.

Sadly the crazy person you’re arguing with is potentially right. Controlling the news cycle and winning at a reality TV like election might be enough. I hope it isn’t, but I wouldn’t downplay Trump anymore.

Right — it can only be blamed on Bush as a reaction to Republican disappointment with him for not being more like this. He was a shit president, but he wasn’t anything like Cruz, Trump, et al.
