Yeah, I mean they definitively want republicans in power in the broader sense, but the question comes down to whether dealing with Trumps brand of populism is worth it to them. I see GOP donations dropping like a stone between now and 2020.

I just have to believe that what the GOP is doing with Trump just isn’t politically sustainable. You can win a lot of votes spouting incongruent nonsense, but you can’t win elections entirely on the back of tribalism. you need at least a few people and groups who are smart enough to know and vote for their best…

Undeniably true, but on the semi-positive side, that’s also where this GOP civil war we’ve been talking about for a few years probably comes to a head. This Immigration nonsense is terrible for business (especially highly placed skilled labor) and in the GOP, donations from business interests pay the bills. Same…

Not necessarily. Congress always has low approval ratings because congress is an abstract concept. People pretty much always love their congressman. meanwhile Trump is already colossally unpopular, which is unprecedented this early in a presidency.

“post grunge adjacent” is my genre name

*in Morgan Freeman Voice* “Truly, The Festiva is one of natures most graceful creatures.”

The university can have it’s own codes of conduct, but it still has to prove the players they are punishing broke them.

Seriously. The University is going all “Nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure” with regard to these allegations.

I mean...they beat the Badgers once in like, the early 90's

The only thing this situation is missing is coverage in Rolling Stone.

Yeah. I’m 6'4". reclining is the difference between my knees touching your seat and my knees being in your seat, and it cuts the amount of time until my knee starts to really hurt by about half. A tall person ever help you reach something on a high shelf? pay it forward and don’t recline.

“Can” happen again? Fuel costs will go up again and then we’ll end up right back where we were: with an American auto industry that’s grown complacent selling low quality urban assault vehicles to soccer moms suddenly starts screaming bloody murder when people realize you don’t need to pay to fuel a Sherman tank just…

But that’s the point. in the US most households have 2+ cars. if electric cars were similar in price to buy and cheaper to fuel than conventional cars, people would warm to them. That day, has, however not yet come on either the car or fuel price fronts.

yeah and a couple faithless electors breaking ranks, especially if it impacts the outcome, would do a pretty good job of showing why the electoral college should go. it’s not about “asking a favor”. it’s about taking somethign that’s clearly flawed and pushing that flaw until it becomes impossible to ignore.

He’s too busy with his law blog

and that’s why I watch love it or list it!

Question: does it have some kind of torsion spring on the brake to add resistance as it gets to the end of the line? I hate it when the dog takes off running and no matter whether i hit the brake or he gets to the end of the line it ends up with his neck and my arm both being jerked violently.

Question: does it have some kind of torsion spring on the brake to add resistance as it gets to the end of the line?…

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

It makes me happy that these are the kind of problems I have

Yeah except red states, for all their fiscal responsibility, largely spend vastly more federal tax dollars than they produce. They talk about “seceding” all the time but if they ever did they’d be a 3rd world hellhole within the decade.
