The DNC thirst for impeachment suggests they think Trump wins in 2020. If they thought they had a fighters chance with Biden or someone else, they'd pivot to topics he or she could actually run on.

I'm convinced this guy is Sasha Baron Cohening EVERYONE in the media without the fancy disguises.

I think Hilary had legitimate health problems she and the DNC tried desperately to cover up in 2015 and 2016. I don't fault her for aging. I fault her for the commitment to cover it up and pretend there's nothing to see there. While I agree with you that I don't think Biden has the energy to do any better than Clinton did, I'm guessing given the lead he's got already, he's waiting for the pack to thin out closer to the primary. Why burn the energy and money when the field is still filled with a lot of never will be's? If the DNC were smart and it's clear they are not, they'd start culling this herd sooner rather than later so they party can coelesce around 1-2 candidates. There's no reason why Klobuchar, Hillenbrand, Booker, etc. are still running around wasting donor dollars.

That was the premise of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in which the USAF purchased the bankrupt Cyberdyne (after their headquarters blew up and their founder killed) and built all their planned devices based on the Terminator technology from 1984. (according to the novel) It's been stated that Terminator 3, 4 and 5 all don't count as canon. This new movie allegedly takes place after the events of T2 which will require a lot of explanation because all the Terminator technology is destroyed and Miles Dyson is dead.

Tusli Gabbard is the lone Democrat candidate that is growing on me. You know who isn't in that picture? Tulsi Gabbard. She is IMO, legitimately the best candidate the Democrats have and she gets next to no exposure from their party. She's not a war hawk and pisses off her own party at the same rate she pisses off the Republicans. I think she's the most comprehensive threat to Trump because she has appeal to moderates in both parties.

Trailer and article: Your thoughts? https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2019/05/23/trailer-terminator-dark-fate-promises-to-be-good-this-time/#4bb5d6b6af8d Besides the obvious over the top political correctness, this movie looks lazy with all the tried and true Terminator tropes...again. I don't quite understand how any future Terminators exist after the events of T2. I half expected this movie to follow the clever plot devices of Person of Interest tv show (the Samaritan AI) since the whole "let's send a robot guy to kill that guy" hasn't worked out for them in both movies. My guess is since this is the "true" sequel to T2, Schwarzenegger is not playing a Terminator in this movie but the human likeness that the future Terminators are modeled from.

The book is entertaining though despite having heard all the interviews already on the radio. The only thing that bugs me is he craps on the early part of his career and his older books. I get that he is happy to have evolved but he wouldn't have gotten to that spot without being the person he was before so he shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. IMO that makes him a phony. A rich phony, but he owes his entire career to that time period. They even made a surprisingly pretty decent movie with real actors around his Private Parts book.

The Democrats remain stupid, with time running out. Trump loves, even feeds off this chaos and the Democrats are shoveling the coal into the furnace. They don't realize Trump's biggest weakness is the actual policy work of being President. They could turn infrastructure, healthcare into wins for themselves ahead of 2020.

Substance over style argument here and they are appealing to their demographics. Kelso/Tasker were A+ on the substance but ok on the style. Wood probably has the style and they hope he has the substance. Wood is like the goofy uncle at the barbecue, regaling you of always funny stories. He might shave, might not. Wears Nike slides year round. Kelso/Tasker are like dad's former service friends who haven't laughed out loud since that time in Panama.....during the invasion.

It could be as simple as Adam Gase being Chip Kelly. It doesn't have to make sense. Or Bell continues to be overweight and out of shape and the team is nervous. There were reports earlier this year he was up to 260+ lbs.

I've always seen the abortion issue like gay pride. There's a lot of money to be made in being oppossed or for it. IMO, the Supreme Court made a decision in the 1970s. Why are we still litigating it? (See above.) If the states absolutely need to adopt their own rules, ok, but it should be a referendum. This whole "let's pass a law while our hand picked fanatics are in office!" approach sucks.

I don't want to hijack the thread to discuss historic NYC mayors but I was amazed that Lindsay got re-elected. I read the Power Broker by Robert Caro and even if you read or listened to nothing else about the guy, you'd get the distinct impression he was way way over his head, especially for the turbulent times. I don't think deB is all that intelligent or all that of a critical thinker. I think the Mrs. is the brains and the tactician in that relationship.

Arizona Cardinals: A lot of trust in an unproven college coach with a losing record and a 5'10" #1 draft pick rookie playing quarterback. Baltimore Ravens: Season hinges on defenses not spending the offseason figuring out Lamar Jackson. He might make Tyrod Taylor look like Dan Fouts. New York Jets: This is Buffalo Bills Rex Ryan redux. Adam Gase should have taken a year off to figure out what went wrong in Miami but will instead continue making the same mistakes in New York because of his ego. (Fine by me.)

He legitimately could be one of NYC's worst mayors in modern history beating out Lindsay and Beame.

You'll laugh but Cory Booker lost any Democratic support he had when he rolled out Rosario Dawson as the all of a sudden heterosexual girlfriend. This comes after years of rumors he's spent a lot of money keeping it quiet that he's gay. I understand why he does this: While the majority of America is now pretty cool with homsexuality, the African American populous residing in the Northeast of the United States may vote Democratic but they are exceptionally socially conservative when it comes to matters of sexual orientation. If he went all Pete Buttigeig in New Jersey, he'd be lucky to be mayor of a shore town. He was in the Catch-22. Come out as gay and lose his base. Try to concoct a story about how Rosario Dawson is totally into him and everyone knows you're a liar and can't be trusted.

I personally never understood his appeal but I admire his keen business sense. He understood how to modify his product according to the sensibilities of the era and he wasn't afraid to do so. If he tried even 25% of the stuff he did on his early 90s "Morton Downey Jr. era" television show today, the culture cops would make sure nobody would ever see or here from him ever again. It's likely the internet required him to change too as his access to the adult film industry and culture was no longer special or unique. I think all the atonement talk is just weathervane marketing. He's telling everyone what they want to hear. It is funny to think that back then, it was commonplace and expected to turn the televison on and see people brawling on the sets of Jerry Springer, Downey Jr. or Geraldo.

The Iranians don't strike me as irrational Jihadists. Even in the worst case sceario of the Iranians pulling off some sort of Tet offensive and catching us off guard in Baghdad (taking hostages) and/or in the Strait (sinking a ship), to what end? Where is the victory in that for them? I think the price for that would be the complete dismantling of their military and infrastructure by the US Navy and Air Force and giving the Israelis and Saudis a green light to wipe out all their proxies by any means they deem fit.

EJ Manuel and CJ Spiller to me are cautionary tales about picking athletes instead of football players high in the draft. Both guys were phenomenal athletes but both could not grasp the complexity of the game of football.

I don't know if the loser of a Game 7 buzzer beater can be a choker. Somebody has to lose. The one thing I'd keep in mind in regards to the 2018-2019 76ers is with all their trades, they essentially rolled out three different teams during the course of the season and still made it work to get that far in the playoffs. As for biggest chokers, I submit the Atlanta Braves. They owned the National League for nearly two decades. They were divisional champions 14 years in a row, likely 15 if the 1994 strike hadn't occurred. Five world series, just one win.

Agreed. Once the corporates (Greggs and Karens) who use the phrase "workflow synergies" start making the real decisions, you're well on your way to average.

IMO, this is more evidence that there is a big problem with the mental health of adolescent young men, mostly white, in this country. Whether it's bullying, hate, untreated mental illness, etc. There is certainly something afoot and it's bad. Not a knock on caucasians or men. Eyes wide open on the trend.

I don't know about that....Japan is one of the most homogenous countries on the planet with hundreds of years of rule with emperorers, etc to rely upon. They don't have the numerous ethnic and religious factions that a New Palestine would have and Palestinians have never experienced a stable government that can get the job done. The West went out of its way to carve a place out for Israel and a successful Palestine state needs the same. Risky, absolutely but nobody knew the Israelis could govern until the West let them try. (I'm on neither side of the Israeli/Palestinian debate personally.)

“New Palestine” would not be allowed to form an army but could maintain a police force. No government is legitiatmate without the ability to defend itself. They (United States) are making the same "huge" mistake they made in Iraq. You need to give all the guys you want to disarm...a purpose and something to fight for. You can't just take their weapons away and expect them to be cool with it. All you're doing is stoking an Islamic insurgency that will overthrow the "puppet" Palestinian government. Israel may not like it but New Palestine should be allowed to form their own armed forces. Imagine the British telling George Washington to disband the Continental Army in return for Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Baltimore will be the worst team in the AFC and John Harbaugh will be fired.

This Bills FO isn't overpaying for a player with a wonky shoulder. Recovering from shoulder surgery is tough for the average person who doesn't deliberatly drive it into large people for a living.
