My friends and I were MST3Kers for a long time. We went to a theater to see “On Deadly Ground.” It was soooooooo bad. We started riffing on our own & getting a better reaction than the movie. When one guy started yelling at us to keep it down, he got pelted with popcorn from other people in the theater because we were

I’ve always pictured the Trump White House as King’s Landing with Joffery on the throne, only less competence all around.

It’s more to do with chutzpah then integrity. I hate to continue the anatomical references, but it’s similar to having balls or hair on your peaches.  It’s about standing up for yourself. 

I’d argue 8 would even be too long. If the republicans get the ass kicking they deserve in 2020, the only thing stopping unfettered Democrats would be the Supreme Court. With how loaded a proposition that is, I could see a Democrat president with a democratic legislature telling them “you don’t like it, you come

This whole thing is a wide right conspiracy.

He’s the Phil Rivers of the NBA.  Always good, never great.  He could make a deep run, if he has the right pieces around him and great team step on their dick but he’ll never be able to put a team on his back and win a championship.

Thank you. I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum (token conservative in these parts) and have been saying the same thing. Republicans have given up on conservative principals for power. They are desperately hanging on to it through any means they can, which is why they are supporting Trump.

I was in the military and keep in touch with friend from back then as well as my daughter is in now. The sense I get is they don’t care for Trump as a person, but respect the office as they are obliged to do. If he makes a spurious claim of an emergency to try and keep himself in office, I think it would really put us

A few years ago, we started a tradition where everyone took a bite out of a turkey leg and passed it around the table. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. Fast forward 48 hours later, and 75% of the people who took part in the tradition had some form of gastroenteritis. I spent the last half of our drive home

I work at a manufacturing company. When the Trump tax cuts came through, rather than adjusting everyone’s checks, they added the increase to the quarterly bonus (+1.5%). All the line workers were happy, yay Trump! Then he dropped the tariffs. We buy a lot of tariffable material from China. This is coming through in

It’s actually a good point. If there isn’t any written law or reg violated in revoking the press pass, Trump can start revoking them willy-nilly. Someone asks him a question he doesn’t like, just hook the thumb at them and they’re done.

My beef has always been with the nebbishy accountant or doctor who gets on his weekend Harley to play at being Billy Bad-Ass. All the leather and chrome in the world isn’t going to make you tough, that comes from what you do and who you are.

The saying in the Army was “if it ain’t rainin’, you ain’t trainin’.”  After a while, I got to love misery training. 

I’ve been tooting this horn for a while.  The Dems don’t have a bench.  I think in 2-3 cycles, they could have something; but for now they are in rebuild mode when they need to be playing for keeps.

So long as we keep hearing these types of diatribes about why Republicans lost elections or blaming vote stealing, Republicans won’t be able to go through the harsh light of day reckoning they need. I’ve long been a conservative and generally stick to those principals, but I haven’t been a Republican in a long time

I would imagine this would be to spin up the base. Get the vast right wing conspiracy rolling that Dems are trying to steal the election. Never mind that they are following the law to the letter; it’s counter to what Trump wants therefore it must be illegal.  This is akin to a toddler whining about how bedtimes aren’t

It sounds like there are 2 toddlers in your house.  My sympathies.

I’m going to listen to that album next chili cooking session and I’m on amazon right now looking for a hat to wear!

Money is the ultimate aphrodisiac. It doesn’t matter how bad his hair, how orange his skin, or whether he’s cut like a portabella or button; some people just want to be close to cash and fame.

When I make chili, it’s an all afternoon affair.  It takes a solid hour to prep everything and get it in the pot before the cook time actually starts.  All of that time is chopping, blending, roasting, and browning.  Once that hour is up, there’s another two hours of simmering.  I put on the music I like, crack open a
