I’d guess nepotism. One of the bigwigs at TPUSA hired their newphew to do the IT work.  Said nephew isn’t a Trump fan and provided the image.  The bigwig can’t throw their own kin under the bus.  Hence, no one is to blame.

Hey, we have hipsters too! Neck beards, being twee, and god awful fashion are God given white culture.  It’s not all Miracle Whip and pumpkin spice lattes.

I think that’s very likely as well, especially if it’s Kamala Harris across from him. That audience may get the record scratch moment. I can’t imagine Lester Holt’s face as that escapes his mouth and he has to moderate the rest of the debate with that just hanging there.

But Trump has proven he can’t stick to the script. He’s going to be at the rally, hear the chants, see the crowd whipped up in reaction to him, and forget where he is. Think about him literally humping the flag at the NRA speech. There was no way that was on the TelePromTer. Did it actually have directions between…

I’ve always thought it’s such a charged word, it shouldn’t be used at all. I lived in Detroit when Kwame Kilpatrick buried it and thought that was a worthwhile step. I also understand the context of the word and the the history. I’m tilting at windmills if I think it’s going to change substantially. 

When Trump does drop an N-bomb in a rally, what do you think is going to happen? Is it going to be a record scratch moment, with all the MAGA hat wearers looking uncomfortably at each other, the crowd quieting down, Trump continuing to ramble, but slowly losing steam as he realizes the audience isn’t with him?

Trump’s still living off the fumes of the Obama economy. We’re starting to see the effects of Trump’s influence now with the bond yield inversions, increased farm bankruptcies, and suddenly bumping up against the debt ceiling. Give it another 9 months (right as the campaigns start to swing into high gear) and all his…

I also don’t see “cowboy monkey rodeo” which is a very real thing at minor league games.  If they were throwing firecrackers, it would be everything 8-year old me could want.

Has your kid gotten in trouble lately? My wife’s a principal. When she makes the call home, it’s typically the teacher’s fault, or the child was bullied, or it was caused by social media, or the 6 other kids who witnessed the event all got together and are lying, ad nauseum.

The most important part of a democracy is hearing the criticism. You absolutely need the push and pull of ideas from the opposite sides of the spectrum to find a middle ground that is a path forward for the most people.

Maybe this is how Trump is draining the swamp? By putting up a bunch of crappy candidates for appointment, he’s getting them exposed as shiftless dirtbags and they are being drummed out of Washington. This will allow the new, young, swampfree denizens of the Heritage foundation to take over and lift the entire country…

Unless your shoe is on fire, never.

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.
