God I miss the Obamas

If we get enough progressives, can we start calling it The Platoon?

Yeah, “I wouldn’t have said as many mean things about Trump” always seemed like a questionable campaign message for a Democratic primary candidate in 2020.

Jones also argued that many of her constituents have been embarrassed by Tlaib’s behavior, including referring to President Donald Trump as a “mother-f——r” in calling for his impeachment on her first night in office.

I mean it’s pretty clear why. They were full of shit in the first place. All the blustering about tyrannical government is obviously an excuse to have more guns. 

A trans-woman is a woman just like a cis-women is a woman or Black woman is a woman. In civil rights violations it is often important to add an additional description because different women may be treated differently or targeted differently. It especially matters when a lot of trans folks are being currently being…

In some foreign countries, the Bills were one of the dominant football franchises of the 90's.

Yeah, I found it illuminating that those were offended just assumed they were trying to vilify white people/culture. If there’s nothing wrong with being white, then why demand it be taken down?

Nothing about this should be controversial. Nowhere does it say white=bad, or that these things are unique to white culture, that’s an argument being made entirely by the conservatives. It serves as a reminder that even things that seem universal (e.g. planning for the future) are cultural, rather than being intrinsic…

Hair/Foliage Detail: Med->Ultra.

The disease is being pretty predictable. Other countries have taken predictable actions and gotten predictable results.

I don't get how these cops are so bad at police work. I mean they have to know by now that a match on recognition software is only useful for generating potential leads and someone actually needs to verify that it's accurate and investigate the crime.

Yeah. Pulling a gun has never de-escalated a situation. Ever. You pull a gun to escalate a situation to a conclusion as fast as possible. Usually with little regard or understanding of what that conclusion might be. Pulling a gun is how you say “we are done talking about this, one way or another.”

“I responded by pointing out, we are not planning to sell it the day we drive it off the lot." Amazing how many people will completely miss this point. And if you think you might have to, you're buying a car you can't afford anyway.

My wife is a big Ramsey fan (I hate it). Last year I was able to convince her to buy a brand new car (a first for either of us). Of course the point of “It loses value as you as you drive it off the lot” came up. I responded by pointing out, we are not planning to sell it the day we drive it off the lot. We generally…

But is “getting out of debt” the goal for everyone?

Yeah the key is keeping a vehicle for a long time. You can take a bath trading in a 3 year old car after 2 years or have a relatively low cost of ownership keeping your new car for 10 years

Tom destroyed him so hard.

Dave Ramsey is an idiot. cars are in that weird valley where they cost a lot to buy (probably anyone’s second biggest purchase after their house) but don’t gain value. And they’re machines, so they wear out. Telling people they shouldn’t buy a new car unless they’re worth millions and can pay cash is just some…
