So what happens now? I’m not trying to be glib, but it looks like there is everything but an email from Trump to LaPierre telling him where the NRA should buy ads and advising where he’s going to buy ads. So what’s the next step? Has a campaign ever been caught being this far in bed with a PAC? What’s the charge?…

Bars that serve alcohol are the exception that proves the rule.

Been a Lions fan for 30 years, I was at this game. It was worse in person.

I’m with you on this.  With counter service, their not doing much more than at McDonalds.  When was the last time you tipped for fast food?  Counter service may be a step up, but it still doesn’t rise to tipping levels of service.

Go full Willie Horton and tie one child’s story to the failure to pass a particular piece of legislation. Make people look at the kid’s third grade photo and hear their mom weep. Turnabout is fair play. 

I think that may be the point.  Get the GOP on record as opposing something reasonable, then hammer them in the election.  “The GOP doesn’t care about kids gunning down kids, their in the pocket of business.”  Its the same headline that’s been used for years, but you still need to refresh it, just like a book from the…

I’ve often wondered how many actual work days in DC legislators actually have. I know there is time in the home district that should count against that number as they are notionally meeting with constituents and “fact finding” trips that are the same as business trips to you and me. Campaigning, while necessary to get…

Thanks. I’ve been in the woods since the Greypocalips. Getting a tone of stars, still grey. It might be because I don’t toe the line.

Wow, that’s inhuman.  Do they at least stop for pie?

The rule I’ve always lived by with these was “1 plate/2 drinks.”

A lot of places, you can’t not go.  It’s expected.  Even if it’s not mandatory fun, unless you have a good reason, you look like an ass.  You’re not a team player.  Show up for an hour, make sure you talk to a few people, then pull an Irish goodbye.

Is it me or does Jared and Marc Zuckerberg look a lot alike?  Not like full on twinsies, but maybe vat grown from the same clone farm.

Thanks for the link. I hadn’t heard about this. I don’t know if I’m convinced white collar unions will work in this instance, but it’s given me something to think about. 

Aren’t taxes kind of like crowdfunding already? We’re all pitching in to pay for something we may never actually directly benefit from through a system someone else makes money on. There’s plenty of scams, cons, and grifts built right into the system.

This. I’ve been in manufacturing management for 20 years. I’ve never seen a successful white collar union. When I was in auto, there were a few small clusters of engineers and draftsmen that were unionized, but they were also marginalized and not really given any of the important work to do.

This is exposing the dark undercarriage of the commenters.

After?  That certainly seemed like a tantrum on camera.

My wife loves to bake Christmas cookies. For her, it’s not Christmas if she doesn’t. She bakes at least 25 dozen cookies of various varieties, none of them easy, along with banana bread. She has this obsessive need to make cookie trays for neighbors. They love it, I love eating the leftovers, and the kids enjoy…

The hammer is Earth-38 Mjolner.  Lois is worthy.

Its an good way to end the show. Hell, Stephen Amell has had to keep himslef in fantastic shape for 8 years by the end of Crisis.  The MCU actors can kind of slip in and out of shape based on the shooting schedule.  Let the man eat a cookie for once.
