O- here, 150 pints in the book. As an "elder statesman" I no longer donate.
Interesting story regarding my very first donation: It's 1958, I'm just out of boot camp at Great Lakes NTC and assigned to a ship in Norfolk. My first shipboard payday comes and I'm in line; as I nearly reach the pay table, a Marine guard asks if I'm donating blood, I respond, "not today." He answers, "Step to the end of the line." Once again, I nearly reach the pay table and the Marine asks if I'm donating blood, I respond, "Sure!".

Reminder: she was chosen by people to represent them.
So she's not just speaking for herself, but for a significant portion of her district.
But did her current constituents fully realize the depth of her "whackjobery," did they truly hear some of the childish drivel she offered the nation in her public comments post-election? The true measure of their "support" will come in her re-election efforts. Of course, if she truly embraces the positions that she proposes, she must NOT run for re-election and thereby cast the ultimate protest against a system she appears to abhor [wink, wink].

Nothing like a correct impression to carry some weight, eh?

It was a cheap shot, maybe not intended, but a cheap shot. No amount of post-play analysis of angles, player speed, intervening players, or turf traction quotient makes it any different. A cheap shot.

Governments are different from businesses. Also even in your analogy if you have ever worked for a gigantic corporation you would know that half the time one entity has no clue what another entity is doing. I worked for a Fortune 500 company and the organization in that company was such a mess (it is almost as though the larger an entity becomes the more waste, bureaucracy and procedure bogs things down.) While working for that company I once received and empty FedEx and worked with someone who literally played Solitare all day doing nothing collecting a check because he got soaked up into 3 different departments with 4 different supervisors who all assumed that he was doing work for one of the other people that were supposed to be supervising him.
I just find it to be a hack argument to think that infighting and inefficiency do not exist in the private sector. In the opposite way where super liberal people will place an idealized version of government conservatives will almost anoint the private sector infallible as though comparing a tightly run small business is comparable to a state or federal government.
The point is that we ELECT the idiots we continue to send to represent us in DC; chances are you never ELECTED the corporate buffoons you refer to above.

Could ANY private sector business survive for sixty days if business was conducted in the manner illustrated in the YouTube referenced below? No matter the political persuasion, no matter the topic under consideration, this is just a micro look at the people we vote for election after election.

When I come across a "link" that has a refererence to twitter in it and click on it, the post goes blank. Here's an example of such a link pic.twitter.com/GBTQDcNOlP.
How can I see the info at the link?

Isn't there someone in the Democratic Party with a sense of empathy that will take Joe Biden aside, explain the concepts of dementia and senility, and plead with him to bow out of the current candidate circus? Obviously his wife isn't interested in protecting him from his own embarrassments.

AB is an asshat. Nobody disputes that. But the Hernandez comparison? There are few, if any, NFL players that have gone down a road as rough as that.
As the Hooded One said, it seems a lot more like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Moss#Dating_violence_allegations
It seems that the important thing for each reader to determine is where on the continuum of sexual abuse you draw the acceptable/not acceptable line. Unfortunately, the NFL hasn't a clue as to the hard and fast determination point that applies to it's organization.

General Flynn Goes On Offense Against the Deep State.
I like the request for “Any and all evidence that during a senior-attended FBI meeting or video conference, Andrew McCabe said, ‘First we ***** Flynn, then we ***** Trump,’ or words to that effect.”
.
Geez Louise, don't you know that evidence just ****s up a good argument.

How will anyone tell the difference compared to normal DC traffic?
Also, has anyone pointed out to these activists that by blocking traffic they’re contributing to the problem they’re protesting by keeping more fossil fuel burning cars running for longer than they otherwise would have?
Proving once agan that reason has no impact on the strongly-held beliefs of the maddening crowd.

Seeing Antonio Brown implosion got me thinking. Do you think the outrageous players (AB, CK, OBJ, Ochocinco, TO, Neon Deion, etc.) are acting on their own or being given bad advice by publicists, or hanger's-on? I wonder what these guys are thinking when they probably know acting like a maniac usually ends poorly. I'm pretty much sure it hurts their careers worse than just staying anonymous. But I could be naïve. What do you think?
Acting on their own in the context that celebrities are not subject to the rules, expectations, etc. that the rest of us accept as part of the social order.

Crap, I thought this was a thread about Democrat celebrities who left the US when Trump was elected.

Words: Stopping language manipulation
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

Impeachment is quickly becoming my favorite language manipulation. It appears the Dems have determined that most, if not all, previous attempts to vilify Trump have either died for lack of truth, or continue to wither on the vine, so impeachment is the latest banner to be waved. Thankfully for the Dems there are no attempts on their part to actually consider the peoples' work to get in their way of "impeachment." Kudos to Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi and Maxine [dumber than a stone] Waters for their keen insights into the needs of the nation.
