Yes. But Democrats/Liberals want to use government, so we need to pass legislation. Republican/Conservatives want to dismantle it so vetoes are more effective. Yet it was was the Republicans that figure out the whole “Control statehouses lets you draw the map for Congress, control congress you control the funding, and…

It was a few things, but based on how it went down, this was PR purely by a team that didn’t think he was worth it, but didn’t want to be perceived as cheap.

All are fair points. My point is not to focus on the electoral college since that is not the battle we need to fight. Where the left went wrong is thinking the Presidency is what matters. We don’t show up in midterms, and it shows. We don’t show up for governors and it shows (we now have 23 Democrats and that is only…

My wife brought subs to dinner at the baseball field to watch my son play.  She grabbed 4 candy bars for us (us and our other 2 kids).  When I saw that mine was a 100 Grand I had the BIGGEST smile on my face.

1) You can’t gerrymander the Senate or the Electoral College so no clue why that is referenced here

It is, but it still will never pass. Even if the social-economic world we live in now shifts dramatically it will never pass. And the simple reason is that it doesn’t give Republicans power as much as it gives less densely populated states more power. Right now, those are nearly the same thing, but that hasn’t always…

I know, because I consider myself to be a good Christian and I find homophobia abhorrent. However, the way it works its not you place to dictate what my religion is and isn’t. We should get around and legally pass federal laws that makes it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation, but until then, they are…

This is the basis of discrimination lawsuits. You can deny me a job, or deny me the right to lease a store from me for thousands of reasons (I smell funny, I use bad puns, I frequent websites owned by the GMG, etc.) But you CAN’T say no if the reason is solely because of my race, religion, gender, etc. The trick is,…

In NJ (and most of the Northeast) the Sherrif’s department (which this officer was a member of) is often responsible for Court Operations. For example here is the description of my County Sherriff’s web page:

Thing is, I don’t think this was pilot incompetence. He may not think too much of going to Scotland vs. Germany because he flies to both regularly enough to not think anything of it (no “gee I usually fly to London, so why am I going to Hawaii”). Also, you figure the flight is short enough that he would be most…

0%.  As they said its in the contract.  Issue is the guy making $10/hr didn’t sign the contract so he doesn’t give a fuck.

I actually disagree on this one. If some parent is so desperate to get their kids to attend a college that they effectively pay for 10 strangers’ kids who have a need to attend for free (or 100 kids have access to a new lab of some sort), let them in. Their kid is going to be just fine because he’s simply born rich,…

And?  If my wife and I stay at a hotel for a week, the housekeeper wants $140 if they think $10/person-day is the math.

George has said a lot in interviews that isn’t true, such as “the book is going to come out soon”. While I could easily see that she is not fireproof, until you can go to a bookstore, buy it and read on page 3,415 that she burned her tongue on a really hot cup of tea its not a change.

They also hint at it in the first episode. I was just re watching it, and and she is taking in the fact that she is about to be married off to a “savage” she steps into the bath as the attendant yells that its too hot. She doesn’t even notice.

Its tricky. When does the shift from “more than 20 years” become “the better part of 3 decades” becomes almost 3 decades” and finally “30 years”.

Its the lack of societal norms and the lawless nature. By removing things like laws and police it allows you to self-police in whatever way you see fit. Also its in the future, so you can include (or not) any sort of weapon, vehicle or magically healing device that was invented at some point after now but before the…

Being healthy as you get older and having the energy to be President are two completely different things.

I know.  Carlos Santana and other millenials think its all about what they want, and don’t take others into account.   Selfish bastard.

He’s a 33% shooter from there, and that looks like the shot of a 33% guy. One that is always on target but just a bit off.  Also, with his skill set, 33% is exactly what he needs.  Just good enough that you can’t play completely off him, which is all he is looking to accomplish.
