  3. I have ebbed and flowed party-wise. Of course, coming of age during Vietnam, I hated Nixon, but one couldn't hold VN against the GOP per se since the Dems had started it. I knew Reagan didn't know what he was talking about most of the time, but he did have some incredibly competent people around him (Shultz, Baker etc) and Carter, who may have grown into a great soul today, was a feckless president the economy probably wouldn't have survived for another 4 yrs. I was a fan of GHWB; a competent President, but hopelessly inept politician. I was bitterly disappointed (as noted here often) that the Dems backed Clinton after he lied under oath - I still take that as one the original sins of today's US politics. Thus I was seriously down on the Dems institutionally in 2000. I think Shrub was actually the better con man than Trump because he came in pretty much promising to be his father but in actuality was the executive model for Trump - built an admin full of hacks, then was able to get re-elected by wrapping himself in 9/11. Then just for toppers he normalized using the levers of the State to lie to the public in support of foreign policy to start a large war, then had no clue how to get out of any of the messes he had made, plus left us with us a parting gift in Alito - who is turning out to be an even worse hack than Thomas, hard as that is to believe. But Shrub's presidency was no outlier to the GOP the way you could at least argue Nixon's rouge behavior was. By Bush II that was the GOP, so if you couldn't walk away from the GOP by 2008 I'd tell you that you weren't/aren't really paying close enough attention.

  5. Pretty good argument for why Hamas has to be completely defanged before anything positive can happen. The problem remains the insane level of tribalism inside Muslim/arab cultures. The public knows that Hamas is destroying theirs lives, but the public at large will still not sell out Hamas to Israel. Pretty much just like someUS Repubs.

  6. I still don't get why people think fans of college football are going to stay interested when the players are all mercenaries with whatever little connection was still left to the University communities of their teams now completely severed. It's going to be minor league pro-football where the teams just happen to be named for US colleges. I suppose they'll find a way to make it fly but I sure don't have any interest left in it. Or lets put it this way - the base of support of college teams was once students and alums and the university community. If whatever it is you want to call what we have now thrives, it will be because it's embraced by the general (or possibly betting) public - I don't see school sponsored pro sport retaining all that much traction from inside the schools - at least most schools - that it grew up with.

  7. College football needs to die and be reborn. B1G + Miami, Stanford, Cal, and Notre Dame SEC + Florida State, Clemson, Virginia, Va Tech, UNC, and Duke Disband from the NCAA for football only. Let the other sports figure their own stuff out. Inertia will work itself out so that UCLA Golf and Oregon Tennis aren’t traveling to Happy Valley and Piscataway. 44 teams is a lot for a new pro sports league, but when you have teams like Rutgers, Illinois, and Vanderbilt amongst them, it’ll be okay.

  11. Interesting distinction here. Jesus was only 'convicted' by Jewish religious authorities in a religious tribunal. Pilate (the state) told them he saw no ground for any secular criminal charge, but to keep peace he threw up his hands and gave into the noise of the rabble. Jesus was not convicted of anything by State authority. So not so good an analogy in actual fact. If anything, the State of NY's refusal to give in to Trumps rabble is quite the opposite.

  13. I would say yes since he's still conning people out of money when everyone knows he's a convicted felon.

  15. I'm probably the closest to a classic neo-con. If our worldview hadn't been destroyed by 20 years of intervening to create more democracies, Democracy would be in better shape worldwide. As i've said before: I still worship at the alter of collective security, trade between nations and the Rule of Law.

  16. I’m part of this group and would agree. I miss the now dead GOP that cared about economic policy and fiscal responsibility instead of Christian fundamentalism and guns.

  18. What an interesting tagline: “Rush in support now.” Is that what people support Trump? They “rush in” support? “Rush in”. Where have I heard that before? It sounds so familiar … “rush in” … hmmm … “rush in” … I definitely know that from somewhere …

  21. I think my social media is pretty much free of the version of this relayed from concerned friends. The great divide in America has nearly completed where if you had a friend or relative who was spewing this garbage you have communicated to them that you are not interested. Here is where it gets interesting and alarming. My catholic/hispanic co-worker who was in Special Forces community who lives with his second wife and her kids and MIL, they are Iraqi Arab/Kurd with the MIL being Catholic and the wife being Sunni Islam. His family are pretty much target#1 for the MAGAs and he is inundated with social media messages from his friends from his SF life imploring him to get ready for the coming struggle and forwarding messages from Gateway Pundit and other alt-right sites. He just shakes his head and tells people to stop. The stuff we see on the surface is really just the beginning of this.

  24. I would pass on that. We would be giving up the better pick and taking back the much longer/bigger contract. Just swap 5 for 7 and a future first with lottery protection.
