The Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump
Taro T replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Had thought my DVR was set to record all the proceedings (got the previous 4 days) off C-SPAN2. Just realized the recording of this morning's session didn't happen. #### -
Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
Taro T replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
My family paid for both of my children to graduate undergrad debt free. We could've let the kids take serious loans but didn't want to saddle them with that debt. #### Liz Warren and her "#### the responsible parents" bullschiff. -
Global warming err Climate change HOAX
Taro T replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If the US pulls out of the UN they can declare war on the US. As long as we hold a veto in the SC, we should always be in that body to keep the bad actors from really pulling mischief. Would much rather see us start a new organization that only truly democratic nations could join. Belonging to both would be best. -
Thanks for the info. Deep Tracks was back to its normal format today and just figured they were done with the Rush marathon.

1st off, condolences on the passing of your father. 2nd, if you want to be there, head down. But it doesn't surprise me that an "elder advocate" would prefer not to have grieving family around. That person will likely be trying to help with the final arrangements and also helping track down the will and getting your father's belongings back to you or other relatives from the nursing home. Have to believe that the advocate's job is easier without you and your family there and the person was looking at it from the logistics perspective. But, if you want to be there, and it will help you with the grieving process, go. Being there yourself and seeing that he and your family are not being taken advantage of and the peace of mind that comes with it is probably well worth that 1/2 price plane ticket & the rest.

The Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump
Taro T replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Um, he already HAS been impeached. He will not be convicted and removed from office. -
Let's hope the lads get as long a break before their next member passes on as they had between these 2. RIP Mr. Jones.

Is there a R that really dislikes Sanders &/or Warren? Because dragging this out for weeks (months?) rather than a week or 2 really shafts them. -

Fully expect it. Sadly. -

You can't hold him in contempt. That's election tampering. -
IF that really happens as a result of this trade deal that would be 1 of the best things to happen for US businesses in a long ####ing time.

Good point on the goalie. A true starter that could relegate Ullmark to backup duty could have them in the playoffs all by himself. Just don't know that with their cap troubles (and bringing in a top tier goalie coach) that a true starter was viable get in the off-season and there aren't any of those on the market at present. A good backup (possibly even Johansson if they were to get lucky) could be obtainable now.

The schedule is set up for them to have ~3-1/2 weeks of really strong results, 3 weeks of poor results, and then finish w/ ~3 strong weeks down the stretch. But people have expected them to stay in the abyss a couple of times this year after poor play but they've bounced back. (Not as high as they've needed but considering 1/2 of their scoring forwards have been out for a few weeks, their backup has been AHL backup bad, and they have a deficient C-spine better than probably should've been expected.) Doubt they climb into the playoffs but also doubt they have another Bylsma/Housley race to the bottom either. Just watching them to see what Eichel will do next, how Dahlin will continue to grow, see if Reinhart can finish above 70 (pretty sure he can), and how Montour and Jokiharju continue to learn the system and in Henri's case, grow as well. But if they had a 2C and a backup goalie, they'd be playoff bound. IMHO.

The Situation With Iran Goes Hot - Shots Fired
Taro T replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Huh? So, if the Europeans won't stop being mean about them violating the Non-proliferation Treaty then they'll stop pretending to adhere to the NNP Treaty and simply violate that? What, did somebody tell the Mullahs that Kerry'll start negotiating for the Euros? -
Actually, though teams traditionally have chosen to keep 14F and 7D on their roster, a lot of teams have been switching to 13/8 because it makes it a lot more sense to run 8 D in practice (having a pair running through drills and another ready to run at each end and only having to roll 1 spare F through the lines) than to only have 7 and either mix & match pairs w/ 2 Fs to roll through the 4 lines or slide a F back onto a pairing. It is unusual though to have the 7 & 8 NHL caliber D men in/ close to their prime rather than guys that are either tweeners or long in the tooth on the back side of their career. (Yeah, Bogo kind of fits that latter description but he is still on his 1st non-ELC/bridge contract.)

The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
Taro T replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So they decided they couldn't name it the Jim Accosta Corageously Talking Back to Power Award AND give it to him in the same year? Really can't see these bubble dwelling bone heads giving this award to anyone else. SMH -

Tibs, how are the Congressional district boundaries from 2016 going to be ANY different in 2020? Or have that many NYer and Californicators moved to red districts in other states in the past 3 or so years to keep the HoR's D-majority? Please, do tell. Apologies to those that have Tibs on ignore, but just HAD to ask him how the #### he thinks this works. -
What have the Democrats done in the past Four years

Where's the FU smiley when you really need it? (Not for you, but Chuckie Schumer and his sycophant Gillibrand for voting 'no' on this.) -
Bummer. That didn't take long. Was hoping he'd stay at LSU. Must've had the proverbial Brinks truck backed up to his doorway.
