When these types of things come up, I always think about the lowly E-2, fresh out of basic, maybe 6 weeks on the job, and what he’s going to do. Odds are, he’ll make the situation worse. In this case, he’s absolutely going to spread around 2400 rounds of 5.56 because he’s scared shitless a bunch of his millennial…

I wear running shoes on flights and always have to retie them about an hour in as my feet swell.

I’d like to see it go the other way where Bond is a dickish mentor to Lynch. She learns a lot, but in a kind of backhanded way. The villain kills Bond because he’s the real threat, not the woman. Wrong answer, pal. Lynch was a badass, now she’s a Bond trained badass who’s pissed her mentor got killed.

I’ve been traveling to China for years and baijiu is typically part of the business dinner. The kindest I can call it is “rocket fuel.” I’ve had the high end stuff and the rot gut, and it all tastes like straight alcohol without any differentiation notes. I brought some home and had the family sample it. My son summed…

Everybody is different. If I get the jitters or a caffeine tummy, milk does the trick every time.

Not only that, but there would be a mean unemployment increase of 1.3M jobs to lift 1.3M people out of poverty.  That seams to be a wash in the case of actually helping people.  It’s great ~10% of the population get a raise, but it seems like we aren’t really moving the needle on improving people’s lot in life.

I thought he died; but it looks like just bumming heavy.

Until he passed earlier this year, I still trotted out “Fire Millen” whenever I could.

I’ve always been an early riser. It’s great on the weekdays because my wife is not a morning person and I can get the kids off to school without having to bother her.

Larry King was doing it for decades before any of those guys.  He wasn’t so much as edgy as clueless.

Thanks, I was trying to say the athletes didn’t go to the White House, not Mar-A-Lago. Although, I would imagine the Venn diagram of those groups not attending both would be 2 overlapping circles.

By going, you’re tacitly supporting his stance. He’s clearly anti-LGBTQ, so it would fly in the face of everything Rapinoe stands for. It’s the same with a lot of minority athletes; Trump only cares about POCs as long as they are serving him drinks at Mar-A-Lago. That’s why athletes that have won the Superbowl & NBA…

So sticking with abortion, it’s anyone, any where, any time, for any reason otherwise someone if forcing their will on you? That’s the only position you’re willing to hear?

Nice assumption, but no. Trump is a threat to democracy and a stable world. I didn’t vote for him before and won’t again. My local Representative is a coward, a huckster, and a Republican. I didn’t vote for him before and won’t again.

I’m largely the token conservative around these parts. I grew up in a very white, very conservative, fairly Catholic community. I’ve identified as a Republican for most of my life, aligning with their views on 2A, business growth=prosperity for all, and a strong military. I do have disagreements with the Party - I’m…

Not just North Carolina, but Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and maybe Michigan or Ohio could force the NCAA’s hand. You can’t have the PAC 10, SEC, or Big 10 without those states for either football or basketball.

When we started the GWOT, I would have liked to see us go on full wartime footing. Draft, rationing, victory gardens...the whole works. I think part of the reason these conflicts have been going on so long is only 2-3% of the country is directly affected in relation to soldiers & their immediate family. When Meatless…

I’m looking at it through a lens of past world wars. Instead of the millions killed/ displaced in WWI & WWII there’s “only” been hundreds of thousands. It’s still an awful number, especially considering how ill advised Iraq was.

It absolutely does, that’s why I made sure to mention civilian casualties in the OP. The US media goes out of it’s way to not mention “collateral damage” but the figures are out there and they’re frightening. With the push button wars we can wage, it’s just too easy to write off the incidentals when we want to bomb an…
