Now you’re getting it! /s

He would 100% try to run again.

I find it interesting that they also got told, at this mandatory event, that they need to elect more union leaders who will support the person who got their employer to make them stand for hours without lunch and use them as props.

I don’t know what it is about that statement, but that is hard-hitting.

This is a series of decisions he’s making to intentionally hurt people, not a diagnosis. 

I’m going back to Season 1 of Justified, and it’s reminding me of how DAMN good Goggins is.

I’m going to counter by saying that the transplants we’re getting are at least 50% conservative as shit. Like, that one guy from upstate New York, or Jersey, or Pennsylvania or Indiana? We’ve got cities brimming with them. They’re about as progressive as the buggy whip industry.

Welcome back, with another ahistorical, ridiculous lukewarm take. 

I’m not trying to come off as giving him shit over his weight (there are 1000 things you could land on that make him a shitty, stupid worm of a human being that are better). Like, he’s a wannabe fascist strongman, his weight is the least important thing about him. The only thing that makes it an issue that he’s…

I’m not sure? The first sentence doesn’t seem to mean anything, other than “Hello, CLEVELAND!” so the people have something they can react enthusiastically to? And then taking full credit.

I would watch the SHIT out of that. You’ve got a three season arc full of twists and tight plotting and memorable characters and social commentary all ready to go, an add-on season or two if it gets popular, and a great author who ought to get more exposure than she’s got.

I’m about to read the article, but wanted to take a moment to predict that Dan Forest is going to say some really dumb, backward things as part of his semi-official gubernatorial campaign.

Trump supporters I know are about half rural/suburban folks with high school or some college and household incomes under $75k, and half people who can take leaves of absence from work and make good money and live in nice, 99% segregated neighborhoods.

Dear Paul in the grays:

I used to know of a bar that practiced that philosophy on its beer taps. Until the Health Dept. found out, and they had to shut down to (I assume) fill the entire building with bleach for 3-5 business days.

Hell, that’s a thing he could probably actually make solid progress on in under a week if he put in the effort.

I found them a little hard to get into, and there’s a big drag in the middle because the author was literally dying (they lost me there). But if you can get past those things, and the author’s occasional difficulty in conceiving of women as complex and independent entities, the story itself is huge and epic, and the…

Sword of Truth. But that’s not a book series I’d describe as being anything approaching fun.

A bit off-topic, but does anyone else find that Eric Trump looks like someone’s half-assed attempt to make their Skyrim character look like Gary Busey?

I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever met a “law and order” person who both knew and gave a shit about the “law” piece. They mostly view the law as a tool to manipulate, and (occasionally) an obstacle to be overcome.
