  1. The aliens have mind-&$#@ed you already, you just don’t know it yet.
  2. Nice try! 40,000 is exactly 50% of 80,000, I did the math! You almost had me, but I remembered to carry the 0’s. Classic Nordo!!
  3. They should call this the Dred Scott Plan, where the children are 3/5th of a student at 100% the cost. $200m budget and they can’t provide online learning?
  4. It's political theater and the way the game is played. For what it's worth, I think pitching Harris in this manner is a mistake, not because it may/may not be true, but simply because you risk alienating some of the independent voting bloc. The flip side of that is that one of the reasons Harris was a high profile candidate was because of her evisceration of Brett Kavanaugh, so in that sense the politics of personal destruction seem to work quite well. In a world where everything up to but just short of physical violence is standard operating procedure, it really just boils down to whether your candidate wins or loses. All bets are off.
  5. Most people prefer to be murdered by someone of the same skin pigmentation, especially when the murderer was on weekend furlough from prison. It's tribalism run amok, and liberal politicians want all Americans everywhere to be more open-minded about being murdered. They call it the Rainbow Murder Initiative.
  6. What if...Kevin Clinesmith says he is pleading guilty but doesn't show up to do so??
  7. Romney revealed himself to be weak. He failed to advance his cause, he did not press the advantage and he was like a deer in the headlights when confronted or challenged. I'd argue Trump benefited from having some testosterone in his system, and by simply responding "Yeah? F you too." when challenged. It was refreshing. Hell Romney allowed himself to be cuckholded over comments that half the voting public would never vote for him, a truthful statement is there ever was one. Bloomberg suffered because outside NY city, no one wants a junior dictator in charge. Between the NY city gig, his Napoleanic stature, his dour demeanor and the like, he comes across as a virginal School Marm at Catholic School. That never plays well--and before you mention Trump and NYC--Trump is a larger than life character, has broad appeal in that people love him, or hate him, but he shows up.
  8. "Just like we drew it up.". Man this was painful.
  9. Wow, a lady I know wrote a book about the stress on the caregiver in dealing with people with Alzheimers/Dementia. In our case, my father-in-law is currently principle caregiver, and he's a very accomplished guy used to controlling just about everything. This has been extraordinarily hard on him. God bless you man! This post--this one right here shows the magic of human interaction. When a crazed commie socialist big government giveaway guy and a crazed capitalist go f yerself deregulate everything guy meet at an intersection of compassion and good will, it's a beautiful thing.
  10. Das Rhino vas friggen righten. Nice call Cashmoney. So much to be intrigued about on this zany little interspot!
  11. I don't understand this one 3D. 4mer is Crayola? I always figured he was one of the Walendas.
  12. We recently began dealing with some issues with my mother-in-law. She’s an amazing woman who beat melanoma 35 years ago, among many other things she has faced in life. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. Being a primary caregiver for one of the most important people in your life is an unbelievable commitment and an act of love. Oddly I seem to recall the other poster sharing something about going through something similar. I guess for some, it leads to anger and bitterness. Hang in there.
  13. I should have acknowledged I’m easily intrigued. Were you a juggler, operatic impresario, or are you in fact one of the famous tap dancing Hines brothers? As for the announcement, you’re probably correct.
  14. I voted for DJT last time and will again. I've voted conservative and party line for as long as I can remember. In this case, when Trump announced, I laughed and thought what a joke it was. For whatever it's worth, I thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle of "The Apprentice" early on, wanted Trump to have nothing to do with the Bills, and had no plan on voting for him at all. In fact--before the candidate field was finalized, I briefly considered a Biden vote if it came to it. Clinton is a skunk, that was never going to happen. The thought of another Bush in office made my skin crawl, though only after they checked his pulse to see if he was alive. Cruz was a maybe, Rubio a blech, and Trump was Trump.
  15. I think Barr is a good guy, but it's hard to argue the point DJT is making. If there was nothing to investigate, and all the players walk away without any mud on their sneakers, it's been a gigantic waste of time. if there was wrongdoing (there was), and there are no consequences because people are protected by the swamp, we might as well come to grips with it. The way I see it, short of sanctioned assassinations of political rivals, there doesn't seem to be much left off the table as far as what is allowable. If that's the game, so be it, at least we know.
  16. The challenge is that your actions don't match your words, Transpy. You complain about Trump, the disaster that he has been in offie, about allegations of harassment against women, and dusted off a 1970s era issue with a local housing office all while ignoring the unprecedented success he had in working with private industry to create jobs for all Americans. Then, you doubled down and dismissed the reality of historic-low unemployment for POC because apparently gap management pays the bills for ordinary folks. At the same time, you're beating the drum for Biden, a man accused of harassment and criminal conduct, who has made derogatory and hurtful remarks about people of color as recently as the last 10 days, and has a stunning record of legislative and economic abuse directed squarely at lower income people in general, and minorities specifically. Heck, even his running mate, who you profess to like, has said she believed that BIden sexually assaulted Tara Reade, but there is something in it for her if she sells out her ideals and the people she professes to champion. All you get out of sacrificing your values is that DR changes his avatar. My suggestion to you: Abstain come November. Rediscover that idealistic guy inside you and send a message to your party that people of color matter, that women matter, and that people are not disposable.
  17. @transplantbillsfan --just wondering your thoughts on Harris' commentary on Tara Reade? You've dismissed her allegations outright, but like me, you're just a guy on the street. I always felt like your opinion was based on partisan politics, but this is a game changer. Kamala Harris is a Senator---with access to files, documents and details unavailable to the average guy on the street. She literally has the keys to the kingdom, and as a former prosecutor, likely looked at the allegations and Biden's past behavior with women and children through the lens of her past experience. She never said Biden reminded her of an over-affectionate step-uncle, or that he was the victim of a scurrilous attack. She actually said she believed TR, which means she believed Joe Biden guilty of a vicious sexual assault. It's a real conundrum, isn't it Playa?
  18. Because of the ties to the Nazzys and WW2, obviously.
  19. I am the first to admit I'm not one to dive deep into data, charts, projections and analysis. I appreciate you being willing to do so, and to some extent, @shoshin and certainly others do as well. I'm a behavior and modeling guy. That's not to say I'm a model, though with the fashion trend being all about the mask these days, maybe I could. My mother-in-law always said I wear clothes nicely. I like to look at what's said, what's suggested, what the experts say and then what follows. In this case, I read it as a journalist cherry picking which data is relevant, deciding which data and public commentary should be withheld from the public and pushing forth with an agenda. I've seen it far too often to accept this sort of drivel at face value. I just read a story about NH Gov setting out a mandate on the Laconia motorcycle rally. He is mandating wearing masks for all attendees when in gatherings of 100 or more. Says Sturgis left him concerned. At the same time, the mandate does not apply to other groups and settings, which to me, makes little sense. Personally, I don't see the magic at 100 v 50 v 25 or 10, but whatever. If the magic number is 100, why not just apply equally across the board?
  20. It’s difficult to take thus article seriously without perspective on the widely held belief that non-COVID deaths are counted as COVID, the financial incentives to count deaths as COVID, and a highly placed member of the national team estimating the numbers are inflated by upwards of 25%.
  21. A few years ago, I happened to be at the dock in the south of France, about to take my 2002 Bowrider out when I saw Geff, Barrack, Michelle, Oprah and Bruuuuuuuuuce with his wife. Geff said “Hey, my dingy is bigger than your whole boat!”. We all laughed, damn, he was right. The cool part was when I asked if I could head out with them, and of course, they were like “Yeah bro!”. We spent the afternoon talking about equality—-btw Geff’s chef makes an amazing coq au vin—and man made climate change. I asked about the gas mileage on the boat—-“Boat!” they all laughed. Geff assured me the gas mileage was really good for a 450’ long yacht made from recycled bottle caps, and Bruce made a joke about taking it up New Jersey and running it “down by The River near his Hometown, his Hometown”. Anywar, the funniest part was when I asked where Bill and Hill, and Joe and Dr. Jill Biden were. Oprah remarked “Trust me no one wants to see Hillary in a bah-KEEEEEEEEN-eeee!”. Turns out Biden had been invited but he thought the south of France was in North Dakota. I just appreciated the invite. Anyway
  22. There was a time an old white fella with a penchant for grabbing goodies not belong to himself could get into trouble for suggesting he was on the hunt for a young JamIndian lady to work under him. Now, it's the Democrat platform.
  23. Well, I have to credit the man, he gave it the good old college try. The formatting was a bit difficult to follow but I think I pieced it together. In summary, Trump colluded with Russia because there was no evidence of collusion and the SC never moved forward with exoneration even though the office would never exonerate anyone. And obviously, because nothing was found, messages were maybe encrypted or people lied, but most importantly the fact that nothing was found is clear evidence that something should have been. Given that line of reasoning, we need to immediate move to investigate Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkle and both parents from the old "Leave it to Beaver" show--Hugh Beaumont and Barbara Billingsley. There is no evidence against those people, either, which drops 'em right in the thick of it.
