I wouldn’t be surprised if the race starts to turn on him, after the convention, that he pulls out. He will claim he got done what he wanted (whether it happens or not) and that he’s got more pressing business matters to win. This will leave the party in the lurch (as it they aren’t already) with having to decide to…

I’d be interested in a decade after Trump is out of office where he ranks. Everyone like to hit on GW Bush, but we had Harding and Teapot Dome was breathtaking for its time, Hoovervilles, and Jackson was Jackson. It’s easy to think about what happened in your lifetime as being worst, but there’s another 200+ years of…
I have issues with both, but an athlete that turns down scholarships to sign with a bigger program now so he can get more money later doesn’t tug on my heart strings. As I said, all students make these decisions; but not all of them have a pot of gold at the end of their rainbow. For most of them, its just a bucket of…
This almost feels like Capone cheating on taxes. It’s something minor and petty that has a real chance to blow up into the scandal that brooms some significant people.
There is, and I’ve watched a lot of movies about it late at night on Cinemax. They’re awesome.
Think about it this way: If the 9 largest cities in America got together (which, coincidentally are represented by the same party) and they decided to vote for Alfred E. Neuman, there would be fuck all the rest of America could do about it. Sure, your vote from West Bumblemachuck may count as much as a New Yorkers,…
It’s not just him and anyone in March, but most other kids contemplating which university to go to right now. My son was offered a full ride at a small school that he doesn’t really like and isn’t known for his major. Or, he can take loans out for $15k a year to go to a larger school which will greatly increase his…
I remember this stuff coming up in 2015 when there was talk about him running against Hillary. I’m amused but not surprised people are “suddenly” discovering this. It’s been out there for years. He’s handsy with women, always has been. It’s never gotten to the level where someone will press charges, but always been…
How big is that die-hard base really? The numbers show is approval it mid 30s - low 40s. Even assuming half that base are the full on, dyed in the wool, MAGA hat wearing loons that’s at best 20% of the electorate. How many will he lose when he crater’s the economy and they lose the jet-ski and the double wide? I think…
I can’t imagine another amphibious landing in modern times with peer states. With precision guided munitions, drones, ubiquitous remote sensing, there’d be no way for a force to gather and storm a beach where the enemy didn’t know it was coming and have time to prepare. If were talking about hard charging after…
I’m waiting for him to get so hyped up at a rally that he forgets where he is and starts dropping n-bombs or other racial slurs in the open. I keep thinking it’s only a matter of time.
I love how in one tweet Trump is declaring the FBI treasonous and in the next he’s demanding they investigate this.
Barbecue for you and your dog has a completely different meaning in China.
I travel to China often, and learning the simple courtesy words goes a long way with people. The only issue is Mandarin is a very tone specific language, so its hard for westerners to grasp the inflections to get it right. I typically meet with the same people every year and keep trying “sorry” and “excuse me” out…
If I went back in time to 2008 and told myself this is what was 11 years down the road (along with the Arrowverse, the Netflix shows, and the fact DC fucked the Justice League up something fierce) I’d have slapped me and called me a liar. Growing up a comic nerd in the 80's and the scorn heaped on us in the 90's,…
When the proposal to expand into Iraq came up, the Dems should have agreed, but only if we go on full war-time footing - rationing, victory gardens, the draft...you name it.
I can’t even imagine the shit-eating grin Jerrah must have in those meetings looking at Kraft. You’ve got to think Jerrah’s had a hand in decorating the place with orchids and putting plenty of Asian food on the menu (Cream of Sum Yung Guy?) just to stick it to one of his enemies.
The saying in our house was “don’t argue with a 3 year old. One of you loses and the other looks like a 3 year old.”
While you may think they need to be said, they are still out of the mainstream based not just on the screeds from politicians in the pocket of AIPAC but from constituents. She doesn’t deserve the hate, but when you push the boundaries as she’s done you have to expect push back. It’d be nice if people could thoughtfully…
