How is Detroit worse than Atlanta? Unless you have to go from one end of the terminal to the other, Detroit’s a breeze.  Atlanta has god-awful security, is always mobbed, and it’s death if you have to go from one terminal to the other on the doom-train.

I liked Henry Rollins take on this (said in sarcastic, mildly threatening tone):

Trump’s whole brand is dependent on him being the winner in everything. He can’t be shown to lose at something or else it will erode that. It’s not even about politics with him, it’s about brand. He’s hewed to that for so long, there isn’t another way for him to think about it. That’s linked with his inability to let

If I spend 80 hours a week developing, selling, and marketing a product people want, shouldn’t I be able to reap the reward? If I make $10M a year, is that ok or is $10.1M and now I’m destroying the country? Is there a difference between a producer such as this and someone who has been gifted the wealth through a

I used to travel ~a quarter of the year for business. I had all my cards (and passport) photocopied on to a single double sided sheet. I kept a copy in my briefcase that never got more than a dozen feet from my body while traveling and a digital copy on my laptop. I also had a copy zippered into the lining of my

When I was in the Army, in my platoon I had 2 illegal immigrants, a kid who overstayed his student visa and joined to because he loved America, a dozen guys who would now be considered DREAMers, and my warrant officer who got a “go-to-war-or-go-to-jail” sentence when he was busted for being a coyote. Half my platoon

I wonder if this is also playing into Trump’s hands. If they are allowed to sue, they have to be under US jurisdiction. If there is a child born during this time, the child would be a citizen under the 14th amendment, further giving Trump ammunition in his quest to repeal it.

I shot 2 O’Driscols, looted the bodies, then chucked them off a cliff.  The next time I accidentally shot someone, I threw the body on the back of Comet, the Wonder Horse, and took it back to the same cliff to add to the other bodies.  I’ve been doing that all week.  I’m going to give the in game serial killer a run

For me, TDK and The Incredibles are 1 and 1A depending on my mood that day.  The Incredibles showed how to do a superhero team movie to give the story weight for the team and still give each hero their own journey and time to shine.

I don’t see any “news” on my feed.  I also don’t go looking for it either or like and news sources.  I do my daily hop around to different news sources separate from facebook.  Like I said, I’m just there for the social part with friends, I know where to get new on my own.

That’s the problem, the Democrats don’t have a bench. Are you going to go with the aging journeyman in Bernie or try and hustle one of the prospects from the minors up for a big league start in the World Series?

Who are the people who go to Facebook for news and influence? I’m there to catch up on what family and friends are doing. If I see a link to a “news” story, I’ve learned its generally either “Trump is the devil” or “Libs want to destroy America” and scroll on by. I’ve muted a few friends who’s feed is solely far

I read it until the end, then went back and re-read it in a JR Ross voice once I got to the “Bah Gawd.”  Totally worth it.

I live in the district and Kelly is the worst.  He refuses to have face to face meetings with constituents unless its a very tightly controlled photo op.  He put a crap-ton of stipulations around debates with DiNicolla. 

Prosperity Gospel drives me nuts. Mtw 19: 24" Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” as well as Mtw 16:25 “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” pretty much

I’ve always like “Blessed are the cheesemakers.”

Pumpkins or big cups or GTFU.

We’re a white family living in northern PA. When the Megyn Kelly incident came up, we had to explain to 12 year old daughter what blackface was because it just hadn’t come up yet. As I was explaining what a minstrel show was for background she blurted out “that’s horrible!”  Without being told why its’ bad, she

The thing that scares the shit out of me on this is, where do we go from here? If we start with only children of US citizens or legal immigrants are citizens, what’s the next group we cut out? What other undesirables don’t get citizenship?  What new threshold do we add?  This action is the first step down a very

The verses you are citing are getting at the same issue the ministers are raising.  To be a Christian means you may have to split with members of your own house.  When your boss tells orders you to split up families, you must take up your own cross and refuse that orders.  You will be cast out of the (White) house,
