Finland also, you know, has an extremely high tax rate that allows for better forest/public services. Not implying that that was the cause in this case, just that even if it were his argument is still stupid. The classic republican con at work: cut taxes and public services, complain that said public services do…

“Still better than a republican!” the Dems will shout as they are roundly beaten in the next election for not actually implementing the policies they ran on.

agreed 100%

I LOVE all these white collar dipshits that always feel the need chime in about any sort of marketplace regulation. As if the US economy is this purely utopian capitalist marketplace. FUCK YOU! We dictate the market all the time. From unions to OSHA to the Federal Reserve to literally every single aspect of how our…

What’s your point? That since other countries abuse children the US should get off for having overseen the abuse of thousands of minors in the name of athletic glory. Are we so morally bankrupt as a society that taking steroids is viewed as a worse crime than allowing our children to be sexual assaulted?

USA should be outright banned from participating in the Olympics. The sexual abuse in gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, and what I can only assume in every sport has been proven to be so overwhelming endemic that we should feel disgraced and the entire system should be scrapped and criminal negligence charges brought…

As President is not on the ballot these midterms, Trump is not considered a qualified candidate from the FCC perspective and NBC is under no obligation to run his ad.

Maryland has a $542M endowment and $29.9M of football revenue in 2017. I think they’d be ok.

lol I don’t think he really weighed the odds here. Had he got stuffed the Lions could have scored a TD with a TO and the 2 minute warning still in hand. Dope that he got it, but this could have been a disaster.

No idea why people get a kick out of having someone drive up their ass. If someone is going faster than me then I’ll let them pass. What do I care.

Numbers don’t really back this up. Germany’s fatality rate per km driven is about 17% less than France and 46% less than Spain.

Man, I love watching Steph go supernova. Kevin Durant will always be my mortal enemy for having ruined what was one of the most fun teams in league history.

You can just walk in and eat the food even if you aren’t a member. We used to do it in HS all the time.

Yes, there is a slight liberal bent to CNN. Cool response though.

The problem with you “pointing this out” is that it is not only unfair and lazy, but misses the point entirely. Sure, CNN leans left (and I’d point out that one could rightfully argue that current non-left political ideology is flat out incongruent with reality), but they generally adhere to journalistic standards.…

I live in CO and sadly prop 122 won’t pass because how much oil and gas money is behind it. These are everywhere with not many opposition ads.

umm what? This new rule is specifically targeted at the players that would have jumped from HS to the NBA. I mean, they are called “Select Contracts” for elite prospects. The last year there was no eligibility rule, 9 high schoolers jumped straight to the NBA. Don’t get me wrong, the rule is an improvement, but it…

Well the NBA could just, you know, lift their one-year out of HS ban. It’s a solution to a problem they themselves created.

For real. Are buses not allowed to drive down streets? Or park in front of voting centers? In what legally capacity were they required to get off a bus?

c’mon. you score the touchdown and tie the game. you have to trust your defense to get a stop. people would lose their shit if he went out at the 1 and then they didn’t score. there’s 3 minutes left in the game.
