The alternative is by rail or road. That’s it. Even then it’s not all roses and sunshine. You have to pick one or people don’t get to heat their homes.

Nah. They’re both decent attempts, but I’m not calling them better. And that’s pretty much the best you can hope for in a comedy sequel. I was toying with Back to the Future getting better, but I’m not sure that’s true. And the more I think of it, I’m not sure they’re comedies, so much as lighthearted science fiction…

The only reason I see for being “nice” to Trump voters is that it’s not nice to kick people who did something because they were poorly informed and just-plain-lied-to. Gullibility among Republican voters is a serious threat to the continued existence of US democracy which Trump directly manipulated by being all kinds…

Because the combination of limp-wristed, disorganized socialists and Manicheistic communists is what actually created the opportunity for Nazis to take power in 1933 the first place.

It takes a pretty myopic person to think that any of these:

The argument is that the New Democrats of Bill Clinton’s triangulation shifted the Democratic Party from being the party of the New Deal into being the party of finance. Everything about these critiques of the Democrats and DNC come from the impossible position the DNC has placed itself in by positioning themselves as…

Um...nope. Crosses were utilized (as per Sennaca the Younger). The primary issue was the availability of the wood. If they were in an area where it was lacking, they would improvise alternative methods. However, Sennaca and other historians absolutely documented the use of wooden crosses in crucifixions. Sorry, slick.

Stealing jokes doesn’t usually “just happen” specially some of the folks she’s stolen from. It’s not like they’re rando stand-ups.

Comments from my mom, who watches DWTS religiously:

Trump’s greatest tool is the arrogance he inspires in his foes, as a lot of the responses to your comment show. Trump was a lousy candidate, but he got better with practice. I think the same will be said about his presidency. If you want to beat Trump, you’re going to have deal with him when he does things right.

If you can’t rationally analyze what your enemy is doing to accomplish their agenda, then how are you ever going to coherently oppose them?

The kids I coach were SO revved up about this last night. They wanted to know how we could do this in the fall (15s season). I had to remind them that we play Penn State and Kutztown, and we can try it, but we are going to get killed anyway.

I think the pick and go would be an effective counter move to this tactic. It would force them to ruck. And if you look it’s always 4 to 5 English dudes standing around the ruck w nothing to do. Grab that ball and go!

A grubber kick isn’t the solution, they will have defense back to cover. The way you beat non-commuted rucks is to pick and drive. As soon as a tackle is made, the next guy comes, picks up the ball and charges ahead. This forces the defensive team to commit to the ruck or they just let the other team drive straight up…

Would anyone be surprised if the Sixers are in fact outright lying about the severity of their injuries?

Yea, I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. Embiid is too good on the floor and they rather knock the Lakers out of the top 3 than pick swap with the Kings. This reminds me of what Golden State did to Steph Curry and David Lee the year before they went to the playoffs the first time.

A lot of people don’t realize that the elevation of David Allen Smalley to DNC chair led directly to the War Between the States, and Clem Shaver’s election caused the Great Depression.

“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.”- Chuck Shumer

“According to them, the entire world—especially people of color—owe white people a debt of gratitude for civilizing the world, inventing societies, economies and every positive force in history.”

Because they’re the federal bureau of investigation, not the bureau of ‘Yep, sure looks like it’.
