Nope, I don’t really want a Harley. Their product has become so much about badge that there are more people wearing Harley branded products than there have been actually Harleys produced. On top of that the bikes themselves are bland and uninspiring, weighed down by the company’s past glory and inability to innovate…

And that is why Liberals don’t communicate well with people that are not Liberals. If someone disagrees with them or say something that is shall we say impolitik, regardless of whether they themselves agree with it or not, the normal liberal reaction is to fall into insults, threats and denial rather than…

Try not ramrodding down everyone’s throats a person that smiles like a snake assessing its meal, dresses like Chairman Mao and spends more time schmoozing with and making promises to the rich and powerful behind locked doors and media blackouts than the entire Republican Political spectrum.

This has been the level of our national discourse for, well probably since the Clinton Administration where Billie’s roving gropin fondlin saxophone wailin road show meandered about the country looking for fresh pieces of ass to delve into away from Hillary who was busy at home blackmailing the women into keeping…

Not exactly sure how his displaying characteristics and behaviors that make him unfit for or detrimental to getting work done amounts to collusion on the part of the NFL owners. If he were at the height of his career maybe, but the truth is he used the kneeling over violence protest to milk a last season out of his…

In this day and age most of the planet is within easy striking distance of the United States. This isn’t the cuban missile crisis where SRBMS and IRBMs on an island nearby are a concern. This is the day and age where anyone with the money and will can buy or put together not just an ICBM but the Nuclear or dirty…

Puerto Rico has no value strategically. As a base for military assets it is too small and not located near anything important enough to offset its small size. There are no strategic resources of any significance on the island that are not available in greater quantity and more easily accessible elsewhere. The only…

These are only other Americans in that they are granted that privilidge until such time as a final dispensation is decided on whether Puerto Rico might become a state or an independent country. So far they have chosen to mostly not give a damn on that issue. The one time they did they chose to become an independent…

Detroit is a city, not a state. Mind, in a very real way cities are the children of the state governments and in the end their reasponsibility.

Suffering is suffering is a lazy idealists excuse for not dealing with reality. Reality says there are X amount of resources to be applied to Y amount of problems. If the X is insufficient to cover the Y you triage.

US policy has been hands off except for minor contributions to Social security that are far offset by the money pumped into their government, a requirement for a minimum of obedience to US Law and the acceptance that they get to be US citizens without having to suffer the full weight of that burden. In return for…

I honestly don’t care about the sociopolitical problems of the region or Puerto Rico except in how they directly effect my country, its people, and the well being thereof.

Given that their contributions are smaller than the amount of money we send their way every year in an attempt to keep the island afloat and the fact that they don’t pay federal income tax I honestly don’t think they have room to complain should they exit rather than stay.

It is time we gave Puerto Rico a choice, full integration or full independence, no more middle ground that robs them of the joy of responsibility for their own actions. Until we do they will continue on a course of fiscal, legal and personal irresponsibility that makes the fed look remarkably like monastic ascetics.

The real reason they won’t be granted statehood is because they reject being a state or a fully independent country every time they run a referendum. They do this because if they are a country they will be fully responsible for their own actions and if they are a state they will no longer be allowed to run a deficit…

You are making the faulty assumption that ABC still has significant value to its owners despite being a failing proposition that is edging closer to bleeding money rather than even breaking even with every passing day.

So, an app that’s major contributions to society are allowing people to casually be assholes, spread hatred and bore people to death about their chihuahua is somehow beneficial?

Ferrari 512 TR. That fine and wonderful point between the Testarossa and the F512 M where the Testarossa lived up nicely to the driving legend but before the styling changes made you want to puke.

Don’t buy, rent. There is no car faster than the one you do not have to pay the maintenance and repairs on.

To be fair labor provided by inmates can and does save a shitton of money for any group operating a penal facility. In a lot of ways if they do release all the people that are low risk it may have the opposite effect of reducing costs. Don’t get me wrong, you may well reduce prsion populations, but in addition to…
