  1. Embedding tweets here has become rather difficult here recently. Let’s try a different tweet.
  2. The right side of his face looks like it’s drooping.
  3. The Tigers have to be the whitest team in baseball. Definitely Trumpers. When I see Skubal in his American flag I cringe knowing that means he’s a Trumper.
  4. What are people's thoughts on employee stock purchase plans? I was laid off from a previous employer after 13 years. Since I worked there so long, I qualified for max severance which was 26 weeks salary. Since I knew the company was collapsing, I cut expenses and saved cash. Long story short, I didn't need to touch my severance and now have a savings of about 18 months of take home salary. My reserves are good right now. This new job is about a 50% increase in salary. I doubled my contributions to my 401k. I have money to work with and was thinking about putting a little towards the company stock. It's a 15% discount. The company is very old, over 150 years old, so the stock has been stable and is not some new startup where you can expect huge gains or fluctuations. I'm not sure the tax implications. I feel essentially I would be buy at a discount and selling probably in a year or two at around the price the stock is now so essentially returning 15%. Given the uncertainty of the economy, I want to keep my reserves large and have investments that are at least liquid. I should also add that in addition to the 401k, this company offers a pension. The company puts away 4% of my salary and is guaranteed to return 3.8%. It's fully vested after three years. I never invested in these employee plans before so I'm not sure they are worth it.
  5. The good news is most LGBTQ people have probably already left Utah.
  6. There must have been a second shooter in the grassy knoll.
  7. CNN’s source is Trump. I would wait for a more reliable source.
  8. Trump confirms it, again not sure how reliable the source is.
  9. Not sure how reliable Desert News is, but this seems inevitable.
  10. Everybody who saw the video say he couldn’t survive it and is dead.
  11. He should have been armed.
  12. Michigan is going to do it a third time.
  13. Flipping Virginia is going to be interesting. The congressional delegation is 6-5 in favor of Dems, but Dems can gerrymander it to counter republicans. Also need to hold New Jersey to counter gerrymandering.
  14. It an over performance of about 10 points, which follows a trend we have been seeing since the election. This is also good news for the governor election coming up in November.
