My brilliant wife feels that it’s inevitable that Ryan and McConnell are just going along with Trump to get enough evidence to impeach him with. I used to cling to this with fervent hope, now I’m not so sure. I think that they are going to use him as a cover to get everything they want, and he goes along with it to…

I wonder what would happen if he continues to refuse to divest of the Old Post Office hotel in DC. Couldn’t the DC Attorney General charge him with violating the Emoluments Clause and convict him? Then Congress would HAVE to act.

Bibi is a tool, and a racist, and seems to be hell-bent on destroying his country. He learned all the wrong lessons from the Holocaust. If his intent was to trade the settlements for Palestinian recognition of Israel, it’s right to exist, and a capital in Jerusalem, then he needs to say so explicitly. However, we all…

Really easy for me. I was driving on MO-169 south in Kansas City one day, when I saw a kid cut off a guy in a pickup truck. The truck swerved, slowed, and then accellerated. The truck pulled up to the car, and shot the driver, who was killed.

Well, Hernandez has taken away the dumbest criminal athlete title away from Rae Carruth and O.J.

Not just that, but look at what’s happening in North Carolina. When you put a bunch of Objectivist assholes in charge, they will justify anything as a means to an end, and that end is power for power’s sake. They are literally destroying the democratic institutions they SWORE to protect, just because they didn’t like…

I am married (ten years), wife works from home as a freelance editor, we have two kids. Life gets busy... it’s too easy to just say “Well have sex this weekend”.

Dude, I really REALLY hope you have nothing to do with national security or nuclear strategy, because you honestly have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

Actually, if the Cold War taught us anything, is that it didn’t teach us anything. Nothing, NOTHING, worked the way we thought it did at the time.

All-or-nothing was in fashin primarily because of the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty, which limited the displacement of battleships to 35,000 tons. In order to put 8-12 14"+ guns on these ships, some compromises had to be made, but they also didn’t want to have the same issues with magazines, etc.

Sounds like you’re in the same situation I’m in. I just moved to Suwanee, GA. My office is in Chamblee. My kids are almost 8 and 6.5, and they ride in the Odyssey 99.9% of the time.
I have no idea when I’ll be purchasing this, but it probably won’t be for at least a year. I’m currently driving a 2008 Mazda5 (which I…

Please stop, your ignorance is showing.

Eddie, don’t you think that that makes it more of a mutual death grip WITH us than China having an advantage over us?

Patrick: I am considering the ST as my next daily driver because I have two kids, a wife and a mortgage, and I can’t see spending 40k on a hatchback. Is the ST as fun as I think it is?

It’s not bowing down. It’s a process. When you have different cultures, radically different languages, and nuclear weapons, you take the time to establish a process so that miscommunications or lame-ass attempts at cowboy diplomacy don’t lead to war.

If the President-elect wants to change our decades-long policy with…

The Electoral college was DESIGNED to do this. The Framers knew how unruly a mob the common citizenry could be, they used it to their own ends to win a revolution. They tried to kill two birds with one stone: appease the slave states (yuck) and put a last-ditch check and balance on the voters electing an uninformed,…

I distinctly remember Bush 43 selling the Taiwanese the Kidd-class AAW destroyers back in the 2000's along with a few diesel-electric subs. This arose from the Hainan Island incident.

I have no problem with Trump altering our stance on the One China policy, but I’d really appreciate it if he would wait until he’s…

Jeez... yesterday took FOREVER to get home. Also, the Georgia Dome has little if any access for people with disabilities. My mom has a bum knee, we have a handicap sticker, but there was NO place to drop her off or pick her up after the game. I didn’t need to park close, but you’d think they’d have a place to at least…

I don’t know if he’s doing it intentionally to me or not, but every time he utters an applause line, he does EXACTLY what Mussolini and Hugo Chavez used to do: he turns to his left and he starts nodding. This is a fairly recent thing for him, but it’s definitely become a thing. And all of those white faces in the…

I use gel pens for those small space coloring books. I’m really into the mosiacs, and gel pens are perfect for those. You can get a set of 100 for under $20 at amazon. It’s one of my favorite activities I do with my 6 and 7 year old daughters.
