By not having to cede ground on the front of cost of employer sponsored healthcare, a union would presumably gain ground/leverage on the front of wage/rate of pay and other benefits, no?

By itself, this is worthless as a Trump/Repub victory (for the foreseeable future) will never include California. However, if the USA ever actually adopts a national popular vote, this will severely hamper the Repub changes, so this will be fought tooth and nail.

Not completely surprised. Boeing can barely deliver a new KC tanker without gifting the air force a few tools along with it.

to drive home the point that Mueller’s office was not charged with the power to “exonerate” anyone.

Wonderful creativity but failed to stick the landing resulting in a 5/10ths deduction. Final score of 6.1.

I wish I had a little bit more output to go toe to toe. My conditioning, my output was just behind Manny Pacquiao’s tonight. Tonight was a blessing and a lesson.”

Pretty on point.

Henry is looking like if an 80s metal band front man took massive doses of steroids and hit the gym 4 hours a day.

I like it much better already.

You’re correct, you did not, but the follow up to his insane word and tantrums are often 95% of the reporting on any given topic. That'd still be a huge news vaccum to fill another way.

To be clear first, Trump as president is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen from the USA.

the rest of the main stream media are no longer pulling any punches

Didn’t the US already leave the UN Human Rights Council? I could be wrong, but I sort of envision the UN as being concerned with global human rights first and foremost. So if the US can leave such a council, what’s the point of remaining in the organization?

Whatever, indeed!

It sure is, but thanks for confirming that for me. I’ve not called anyone wrong, only stated that I hold a different opinion, and that’s a completely normal and okay thing to do. 

Seen it and that’s pretty much what I was talking about. Pretty big difference though. Ladd was still on her hands and knees, not separated from her faculties, and that dude is very clearly limp for a moment.

If cognition was a requirement in these fights, many of them would be called way quicker than they are.

Oh, I know Lawler’s arm very apparently fell limp, but I think it was a failure on his part to understand the ref at that moment. Just went and watched the whole fight again. First, Askren is a demented motherfucker to have not just quit cause his shit was rocked. Anyways, Askren doesn’t have Lawler’s back until 1:55…

Quite well, actually! Thanks for inquiring!

And how many times have we seen a fighter’s instinct lead then to autopilot into a grapple phase, glassy eyed and all, as they recover?
