That is probably it. We should all agree to just stop using the whole ____ Era Veteran thing altogether. It’s stupid and confusing. This isn’t the first time it’s been a problem, either.

Oh well, that would have been a lot more interesting if he had repped it. This thing seems to be a big nothingburger.

Ah. He seems to have done well for himself after resigning from the Army. So I guess it was a good decision. There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that he was thrown out or anything.

What does it mean that Berlin was ‘lucrative?’ And what gaps in his history? This is all very interesting, can you elaborate on it?

If you find it, please link. I wasn’t able to find where he said anything like that.

Eh. You’d have to show where he actually claimed to have deployed - wore a medal, approved it in a published bio, referenced it in a speech, etc - before any of the SV stuff would come into play. There’s plenty of other valid reasons to object to Pompeo’s nomination, this one is a big stretch.

I learned how to balance a checkbook as a kid. The purpose was to avoid overdrawing because it took like a week for your checks to clear and there was no other way to see your updated balance. If you overdrew, you’d get hit with the bank’s overdraft fee (and the tellers may withhold your lollipop next time you…

I thought of this too. She gets out of her depth quickly. The fact that she keeps allowing it to happen indicates that she may not be a very smart person.

Ermahgerd.

This comment is actually good, because it sort of gets at something I was struggling to articulate: That skipping the thank you note is a low-level form of rudeness, similar to a cut-off in traffic, loud cell phone conversations in shared spaces, or sarcastic comments like this one. It seems that many, but not all,…

Battle rhythm is a term invented by fucktards to convince themselves that their complacency is okay.

Jesus Christ. Your brother is an idiot.

More than 50% of those are lawyers attempting to be clever and using jargon with ironic detachment. JAG pukes think they’re so goddam smart.

He played at 48 years old. That number doesn’t do justice to how old he actually looked. You would put a silver alert out on this man if he showed up in pads today.

Be even more generous, and give people their time back.

The problem Andrew Cuomo is faced with is that he very much wants the Democratic nomination in 2020, but needs to distance himself from his New York government’s image to do it. Everything he does is done with an eye on 2020. Di Blasio is a convenient foil for him to use and scapegoat. As for upstate, well, New York…

You don’t want to pay off the low interest mortgage and forgo potential higher earnings. According to Vanguard, a portfolio made up of 70 percent stocks and 30 percent bonds averaged an 9.1 percent annual return from 1926-2016. While there’s no guarantee that that trend will continue, you’re more likely to get more…

Z Estimate numbers are not reliable beyond serving as sort of a weathervane. The Z estimate can tell you which direction the number is moving, but anyone who uses it as their property’s valuation is in for a surprise.

I do this.

Fuck that Mark. You’re not a man until your sneeze triggers fight or flight responses from the people in the room with you.
