  1. This ope-ed piece...wow. There are so many things wrong about it, but just off the top of my head: --Presuming it is true, the fact that someone in the administration thinks that they are above normal governmental functioning and chain of command is just numbing. That's as far from checks and balances as the government gets. Whether the President is a whack-job or not, this alleged cabal should be rooted out and shown the door. --I wonder what this person's background is. There's no indication as to whether this individual was a holdover from a prior regime or not. This person "outed" his resistance and consequently shot his scheme in the foot yet wanted to remain anonymous. Seems like he's trying to protect a pension more than tying to save the people. Why end the effort now? --The Times had to take the "extraordinary" measure of (a) publishing an anonymous op ed piece, and (b) explaining its decision in a preamble to the piece. Please -- that's CYA at its finest. --The author is a sniveling coward. --The Times is disingenuous, at best. --I'm being polite.
  2. I agree with you, but there's "punching back" and then there's "kicking someone in the groin".
  3. Yep. Biff: Hey, McFly! [both George and Marty turn around] What do you think your doing?Marty: [to himself] Biff.Biff: Hey, I'm talking to you McFly, you Irish bug!George: Oh, hey, Biff. Hey, guys. How are you doin'?Biff: Do you got my homework finished, McFly?George: Well, I figured since it wasn't due till Monday -Biff: Hello? Hello? Anybody home, huh, Think, McFly! Think! I gotta have time to recopy it. Do you realize what what would happen if I handed in my homework in your handwriting? I'll get kicked out of school. You wouldn't want that to happen would ya? WOULD YA?!George: Of course not, Biff. Now I wouldn't want that to happen.
  4. Wait, wut? Thats not anything like testifying under oath.
  5. Simple: Be good. But if you can't be good, don't get caught.
  6. Wrong thread.
  7. Well, this was a great thread for almost three pages. Then, like most fast food burgers, it make a quick trip to the toilet. Around here, Shake Shack is probably most popular.
  8. It feels hotter than the face of the sun outside today. I just spent a couple hours working outside and keeping hydrated with PBR. Perfect beer for the situation. It isn't my favorite and it isn't what I would drink with dinner, but summertime is for lighter beers in my estimation.
  9. I wonder how often that happens. Is that a rare thing, a 50/50 thing, is it common? It seems like even if it were common, this particular application would warrant someone to come in from the Justice Department to explain themselves. Especially since Carter Page hasn't been charged with anything and is walking around as a free man.
  10. Maybe the car just, you know, blew up on its own?
  11. In her perticular case maybe she should stick to texting. I found her to be extremely annoying when she spoke. That's not a millennial thing -- that's a her thing. If she did that interview by speaking instead of texting, then guys would have voluntarily left the room without her rejecting them.
  12. Wow, what a sacrifice! Thank you.
  13. I'm not too sure about that. Maybe it is just my perspective, but I thought new wave bands came in after disco died. That CBGB TH/Blondie thing pre-dates disco. But I really haven't taken the time to look it up.
  14. Or, how about making preseason more meaningful. Make each preseason game count for .5 wins or .5 losses.
  15. Is Joe Jackson New Wave? I go with Joe Jackson. What about DEVO? I could go with them, too. If Talking Heads are New Wave (which I don't think they are), then they would definitely get my vote.
  16. Well, let's start a new investigation about Trump collusion with China. I'm sure he mentioned China once or twice during the campaign. This is finally the big one! They probably went in and changed the settings to automatically "bcc" every email to themselves.
  17. Maybe Brennan talked him into sending it.
  18. As opposed to the ones who are perfectly healthy and don't seem to give a crap about their constituents?
  19. Those photos made me laugh for some reason. Almost like they told each one what the other one was charging/hour and then caught their reaction: "Wut?!"
  20. Don't forget about Romney waiting in the wings. He hates Trump, he's going to be Senator soon, he's been through the grind and he's got loads of his own money. You don't need a federal government that does what States have traditionally done. To me, that's a federal government that's too big.
  21. You know, there's a lot of space in between "conservative" and "alt-right fanatic". Don't label people you don't know.
