I imagine that a lot of them just get a job working for someone who’s on their side of the fence, but it doesn’t mean that they support the individual in particular. Remember that even for stereotypically liberal positions, there often are significant minorities of Republican support. That applies to people who…

I can confirm this. I had a jacket like this and I threw it away in a rage while walking down the street in December.

And I think that number wouldn’t count those who protested on Friday. Though I’m sure it’s mostly the same people.

Maybe this means we’ll get to keep Social Security?

A lot of people are throwing cash in to feed off of the stock inflation caused by OTHER idiots throwing money in because Trump business guy derp. The issue is that none of us know when to pull out, and really, I don’t think anyone knows which side is dumber.

Okay, fuck this, I’ll out myself. I’m a one-percenter. Other than basic living expenses, my largest purchases have been a German car and a foreign vacation. We don’t invest that money. (I invest a bit, but the real money is in commodities - mostly global indexes - or emerging markets.) We spend it on fucking dumb shit…

The good part of Mattis is that most of the major policies he’s discussed publicly contradict Trump.

Only by...A certain class of people.

Because Russia has no money and doesn’t make anything.

Yeah, but I’m more confused about the “47.”

I, of course, have no way to be sure how I’d react. But I think I’d be just straight-up pissed and sad. I might feel this person is some stranger who just made a family member go away, and that’s it.

Yes! That’s part of the story! You know too?!

There are many good reasons to ignore family members, and none of us have any idea what’s actually happening.

I want my president not to be extorted over a video tape. If you want my respect, you basically just need not to hire high-end piss slaves and then get videotaped. Pretty low bar.

I’m not saying I’d have the mental capacity in this situation. I just don’t think it’s that weird to have an athlete do it.

Hmm. So what would it take for it not to be intentional grounding? It still seems to me an athlete could get there.

Not every play goes the way the arrow in Madden says.

Fair enough, but my physiological response in this situation would be to throw away all ballast and run away, so I’m biased.

If you fuck up, yes, but the chance of digging a team out of that hole is so small anyway. It’s a choice between next down and a chance at your impossible 3rd down conversion becoming impossible.

Nope, not the best play, but you’re dealing with a sunk cost situation here. Even in a fuck-up, the additional 10 yards doesn’t change the outcome often at all statistically.
