Unfortunately, you’re probably far closer to correct on this than I am. It’s going to be a mess getting him out of office no matter how this thing shakes out.

I think you nailed it. That sounds like the best range to have kids.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand and appreciate your stance/reasoning, but I respectfully disagree. I see Trump’s tenure thus far as a vanguard for future presidents, inasmuch as they can get away with overtly and repeatedly abusing norms/rules. We need to codify criminal behavior irrespective of how high or…

This. Part of me (my knees and back, specifically) wishes I became a parent when I was younger. But it’s that battle between enjoying your twenties as a single person—traveling the world, enjoying restaurants and bars and museums and all kinds of arts/culture—and becoming a parent and waiting to do all that at a later…

And the scary thing about that is...there’s a non-zero chance he decides to, ahem, overstay his welcome. Just, until, ya know, “things get sorted out.” (read: he’ll invent a crisis toward the end of his second term and decide to stay on until it gets “resolved”)

I don’t watch baseball at all, have never played, and don’t follow except to occasionally click on Deadspin articles.

Dammit.

Damn. Curious: why don’t you want that memo changed?

I gave up on anything pushing Trump out of office (aside from voting him out in 2020, and even then...) once the Mueller report hit and nothing happened.

Nicely said.

Yeah. I’m just not surprised at anything I hear/read these days regarding this administration. I’ve always been a pessimist, but these last couple-few years have really taken it out of me.

You mean like this:

Serious question: what is the actual defense for attributing Trump’s latest tweets to anything other than racism?

Probably the best pure, instinctive runner ever to play in the NFL, though there are arguments for others.

I.e., making them hypocrites, which I addressed in the other part of my post. Argument via hypocrisy is a rhetorical fallacy.

I recently read an article that posited how being a republican was actually more an identity than an ideology. That the political platforms and policy nuts and bolts don’t matter.

Eh, never a big fan of the tu quoque (i.e., argument via hypocrisy).

I thought Sweet Pea had four children, and is survived by three of them (the fourth died of cancer at age 31). Is there another I’m unaware of?

Essentially: “Love it or leave it.”

One of the most naturally gifted boxers of all time. You just couldn’t teach much of what he did in the ring. So fluid, so smooth, so relaxed. A virtuoso defensive fighter.
