  1. This one hits close to home. My 13 yr old has to wear an adult XL lacrosse helmet. Warriors dont fit him anymore. Because lacrosse is more of a niche sport, there’s no incentive to make a broad range of helmets. It’s ridiculous that NCAA won’t allow players to wear hockey or box helmets. I think the head takes far more abuse in hockey.
  2. Plus all the people you mention were laughing the hardest at the Trump candidacy when he first announced, didn't think he had a chance, thought he would be an awful President who's over his head, and would probably step down within 18 months because the job was too big for him. We also had something in common, which was the uproarious laughter that he actually bat Hillary, making her the hands down the worst POTUS candidate, despite somebody telling us that she was the most qualified in the history of the world. And on Nov 7, we all decided to give the orange blob a chance, because he couldn't screw things up too badly, and at the very least he would finally deliver on the 9th summer of economic recovery. Since that time, he's surprised everyone by being a lot better than the incompetent boob I thought he'd be. He's still a childish thin skinned narcissist. But I also can't argue with the results.
  3. These are the leaders of a territory they've owned since 2005, yet are perfectly willing to sacrifice their young for a quixotic quest. So, tell me exactly what these words mean and how the stance has softened? Why aren't Palestinians making the same case against the Hashemite Kingdom, where there are a hell of a lot more of them still living in refugee camps for over 50 years? What's the difference, if the only argument is for a piece of land, as opposed to harboring anger at another religion?
  4. If that is the case, where are the moderate Palestinian voices? Where is the peaceful Palestinian solution, other than stating that they want all of Israel?
  5. There are a lot of political parties, including healthy representation from Arabs, which makes Israel a vibrant democracy that argues its problems in the political arena, instead of strapping its youth in bombs. Yet, you think that the right solution is to listen to people who prefer to strap explosives to its youth.
  6. Because it's a proven fact that progressives only speak in metaphors, while conservatives are always literal
  7. You mysteriously left out the passage where he specifically excuses Omar's history of outright antisemitism because others do it. You know what else is interesting about the article? That it was penned by an Israeli. Now, care to link a similar article from a free press Gaza publication from a Palestinian advocating a peaceful tone towards Israel? I'll wait.
  8. No, but I'm sure it was the conservatives who were triggered enough to stage resistance rallies and primal scream sit-ins, design ***** costumes, destroy private property, frame innocent people, lose any sense of common sense and perspective, all because there's an orange man in the White House.
  9. Yup, this is the editorial.
  10. These aren’t your thoughts. You’re just parroting a WaPo editorial I read today
  11. To summarize, Omar isn't antisemitic, because other people are also antisemitic.
  12. I take it Canada's allowance is late this week, so time to lash out at the rich uncle.
  13. That's not the race referred above. Rs don't stand a chance in that district. Crowley screwed the pooch in the primary.
  14. Yeah, those pesky US tax laws that allow companies to carry forward accumulated net losses for up to ten years, including the R&D tax credit signed into law by the Golden Child.. Here's some back of the envelope data on real taxes paid - In total, Amazon paid over $1 billion in income taxes sales tax in 2018. It has an estimated 350,000 us employees for which is paid over $750 million in payroll taxes. It's roughly $125 billion in US sales generate over $3 billion in local sales taxes. It's 3rd party merchants generate about $140 billion in annual sales which probably delivers another $5 billion in annual taxes. And those are just income and payroll taxes. But, yeah, Amazon is a net taker. F'ng morons.
  15. Gee, I wonder if chicken ***** @Coach Tuesday will return to argue his points after the usual drive-by's. Such as detailing the exact portions of the tax code that Amazon is apparently skirting. I'll wait. Or better yet, we can set a new rule on PPP. If a poster starts more than two drive-by threads, they're be banned from this forum, since we're not allowed to ridicule them on the main site.
  16. The law was pretty clear. The guy had to turn in his guns according to the law. He didn't, and nobody followed up.
  17. Most of the tweet thread is correct, except for this: That's Kaep's claim, but it's only part true. The owners' blackballed him because he was using the NFL's stage for a personal protest. Any company would fire a person for doing that, and a new employer would also be very wary of hiring that person if he said in the interview that he would continue the personal protest on the new job.
  18. How do you lose 6 2 when you dominate possession? This wasn't a crazy game that Rangers goalie pulled off
  19. Another nugget is that Saikat is also on the "staff" Nancy must be thrilled.
  20. So Donald, tell us exactly how you feel about Romney.
  21. I feel bad for people whose fingers got burnt in the candlelight vigils last week.
  22. Hold on a sec. The House uses GCalendar for scheduling? Is that for real?
  23. Because it's not her
