  1. The weather should be decent that time of year. You might see some cheese bras at the game. No bull.
  2. Well, he lost his primary to the new socialist. Maybe he's just now realizing he needs to make a hard left turn to save face just in case he runs for Mayor of NYC or something like that in the future.
  3. Actually the FISC abuse and the stonewalling of congressional requests appear to be genuine issues. Whether or not impeachment is the right move is a fair question but Rosenstein is pretty deep into the abuses that have been cited.
  4. Not doubting you're feeling some pain but the tariffs on aluminum are not close to 65%, so much of your increase is simply supply and demand.
  5. Oh I think we're still very early in the game and it will get more difficult.
  6. Wow, that makes no sense to me but hey it's the Federal Government. I can see the headline now if Trump follows through with removing clearances..... "Trump pulls Obama era security clearances, what's he hiding?"
  7. That may be what the practice has been for a long time but I can't see why any administration would maintain clearances for those no longer in their positions unless they are actively working under the current admin's supervision. Even at that the clearance should be turned on and off as needed especially given all the potential for abuse and leaks.
  8. Shocking development in the Stormy controversy http://www.tmz.com/2018/07/23/stormy-daniels-husband-files-for-divorce/
  9. I voted for neither and I didn't vote for Trump in the primary either and never could I have voted for her.
  10. My question was genuine. What are the laws for personal gun ownership in Canada? I'm willing to concede that the U.S. has more !@#$s present that shoot people up. US also has a much larger population.
  11. Paul Ryan is on vacation until his term ends and has been for a few months now.
  12. What are Canada's gun laws and how did they protect the people shot in Toronto today?
  13. You made a good point but probably aren't aware of it. The fact that Page was never charged with anything (or nothing leaked regarding his guilt) is strong evidence that either: A) The FBI was fooled over time into suspecting that he was acting as a foreign agent B) The FBI as being accused used him as a pawn in their efforts to spy on Trump campaign It's been 2 years since Page was put under surveillance.
  14. I think y'all are being a little too harsh on Hill. She endured a lot of criticism about all the pant suits. She finally changes that up and everyone's gonna jump all over her for the new look?
  15. Oh come on Kamala, get on the UBI bus. That's the hot new social program in the making.
  16. Above $128K is not subject to FICA (social security) tax yes correct, but that is a program for all with capped benefits and capped contributions. Seems like one of the only fair payroll taxes we have. It's a separate program or is supposed to be. We need a flatter fed tax rate system and a law that only allows taxation to rise or fall at the same rate regardless of income. That way we get politicians out of the business of picking which group of earners should pay a greater or lesser percentage and we get all Americans more on the same page scrutinizing federal spending since all are paying a similar rate. Deductions for family necessities or encouraged behavior (health care insurance, health care costs, education, retirement savings, home ownership, charitable contributions and maybe a couple of others should be the only deductions. There have been some good arguments made for not taxing labor or earnings at all and only taxing consumption, but seems too radical to get any political traction.
  17. Will reserve speculation until opening day roster is set but it appears that the Bills have a very tough schedule especially in the first half of the season. Every year there are surprises (good and bad) around the league. Beane and McDermott seem like they have their act together which to me means there is a better chance for upside than downside but again it looks like a tough schedule.
  18. All over. Look on yelp and you can probably find some reviews on restaurants with good brats.
  19. Trump will probably tweet at 4AM to get them jump started.
  20. Green bay, just the "city" of Green bay has to be hands down the least interesting of all. However, if you're going to the game, I'd recommend going to the packer museum in the stadium and tailgating/hanging out in the nearby stadium area for a couple hours before the game. There is a large bar or two within walking distance of the stadium and fun on game days. Not sure if the museum is open on game day or if it is it's packed (pun intended) and tough to get in. For an evening Saturday night you can have fun in Green bay. You can only be in one bar at a time no matter where you are and Green Bay has its share. The fried walleye in the area is top notch. Cincinnati? Nah, get down by the water, it's great. Montgomery Inn for BBQ, great.
  21. and dating Don Jr. Isn't the left hysterical about that?
  22. That's what I need, a snowmobile. That'll help overcome the winter blues.
