Wait... did you just... completely forget how fucked things were when Obama got elected? We were in the biggest damn recession of the last 50+ years. And then we got 6+ years of growth, even with Republican obstruction of common sense stimulus bills. That economic growth has continued under Trump, who then put in…

Terrible mileage numbers, too. It's a loser of a vehicle in every way. Try again, GM. 

In my music life lately the wife and I went and saw Smino live; it was far more fun than I anticipated. One of the few artists I’ve seen where his voice is more impressive in person. The speed of his ‘rapping’ (which I feel the need to put in quotations because it’s melodic and sung) was damn impressive to see live…

Their first record is a certified classic IMO. Half of the bass and guitar notes will make you question if your speakers are blown... In a good way. 

Unfortunately modern conservative evil ages them twice as fast but also grants eternal life. We’re gonna be stuck with Trump as president for another 40 years as his face looks more and more like Thanos' chin. 

Nope, you need to just take that to the grave...

Yeah, I lived across the Bay from Oakland in San Mateo from 92-2000, lots of great songs, good artists, but terrible albums. Too $hort probably had a couple of the better ones, actually...

*raises hand*

7 good songs, eh? That would probably take the crown for best Bay Area hip hop album ever...

ESPN wants to be the conservative sports network they can have at it. I use them for live sports and that’s it, whereas I used to watch the network all day. I think we all knew this was the deal when Jamele was suspended.

I’m thinking he'll be around 21/9/4 with 2 combined blocks/steals per game.

I used the number (5.6) that Tesla has claimed. People have run 4s in the 0-60 for the R in independent testing, so I used a higher number there too. Apples to apples. The long range RWD model probably specs the closest, 13.3 in quarter mile versus 13.5 (with the slower fwd launch) for the type R. At 4000+ lbs it…

I think your analysis is good, but I’d quibble a bit on his floor. He’s dropped pretty close to 35% a couple of times, so I’d guess his core is much smaller, maybe 25-30%. Even if it’s at 35%, peeling off 5% of the electorate is enough to sway more than a few Congressional results. That could be enough to scare a few…

Thanks Elon, good to know 5.2 is now > 5.6. The R is a half second faster to 60 even without the RWD advantage at launch. Maybe you meant the $80k version?

The only thing that will make enough Senate republicans vote to remove him from office is if continuing to support him is caustic to their re-election campaigns. Sway public opinion in favor of impeachment through televised hearings and the rats will all jump off the ship to save themselves. Without impeachment…

This is what makes the Democratic house holding off on impeachment so frustrating. Roe v. Wade probably won’t be overturned by the current USSC, but with one more hardline conservative on the bench? Waiting 2 years for Trump to be defeated at the ballot box seems like a hell of a risk for Judicial appointments and…

It’d take a lot of heroes— most people simply follow orders... ALA the Milgram experiment.

The point of retirement is to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors. That shouldn’t necessarily involve blowing every cent you have, as their are other options like passing that wealth down to children or other family, or charitable causes even, but that seems to be the modern interpretation of retirement.

This truebo guy has been impersonating Baracka for a week+ now and for some reason the mods have his posts approved. It’s entirely on the splinter moderators... they prefer having trolls flood the comments sections and spread idiocy versus having a good commentariat discussing issues in some form of earnestness.

Ari Lennox album came out this week... it’s pretty solid and worth a listen.
