This now feels like Inception.

Far too underrated of a comment.

I just hope my district wins the Hunger Games in one of those years.

Depending on the situation, and on what difficulty you’re playing, shooting your way out of a problem is usually the wrong move. Your best bet is stealth (or avoidance, if possible).

It’s going to be a good week around here. +1

I was of that opinion on Lucic before he came to play with the Kings, and was impressed with not only how well he communicates, but that he’s actually a fairly nice guy off the ice. Not at all what I expected, and after what he went through with his father’s suicide, I still kind of root for him, even though I don’t…

+1. Nailed it... or not.

That’s what I’ve been doing wrong... I’ve been using knock-knock jokes.

This is all horribly reminiscent of Graham James in the Canadian juniors. The only difference is I haven’t seen any reference to a shotgun being involved like there was with James, though that doesn’t make what happened in this case any less terrible.

+1 star because I hate you for coming up with this before me.

I agree. In a weird way, Trump’s message kind of mirrors Bill Clinton’s in 1992. Trump said to the people you’re talking about, “I am your voice,” which is not all that different from Bill Clinton telling those same people “I feel your pain.”

More importantly, if someone did tell him, would he believe it?

Exhibit A in an involuntary committment hearing right here.

The mental picture you’ve painted here is a bright light in an otherwise shitty day. +1

Presumably, this makes Mike Pence the stepdad we call “sir” or we get hit with a belt (or jumper cables, if handy).

There is a grain of truth to that. +1

Jared Kushner having a voice in Cabinet decisions is outrageous, but I recognize my own hypocrisy in that I’m fine with him vetoing Chris Christie for any job that is requires Senate confirmation.

Exactly what I was thinking. There’s a job that has the word “surgeon” already in the title, and by all accounts, regardless of whatever weird ideas he has on other subjects, Dr. Carson knows what he’s doing in the field of medicine. 

West Wing has you covered there.
