  1. I'm surprised this has been brought up here, but Merrick Garland testified in a house committee yesterday. Rep. Chip Roy questioned him on domestics terrorist parents and things happening in the Louden Country High School. I'm not a fan of Mitch McConnell but he should be thanked daily for keeping Garland off the Supreme Court. Obama said Garland was a moderate but he's a long way from a moderate and the AG office is more political now than it ever was under Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyiYaldI61w
  2. Cortez's personality and thoughts are too ugly to offset anything physically.
  3. I agree 100%. As long as people, institutions or the government continue to advantage or disadvantage people based on race, racism will thrive. I prefer everyone be treated the same. When I operated my own business 30 years ago I didn't care if you were man or woman or whatever race. If you were the best person for the job, could help my business and make me money then you were offered the job.
  4. If I remember correctly Brandon Lee was killed when something was stuck in the barrel and projected out when the blank was fired. This could be the case now. If Baldwin was screwing around or somehow at fault he could be facing a manslaughter charge.
  5. They haven't said what exactly happened but several people have been killed in Hollywood productions with these "prop" guns. Even though a blank cartridge doesn't have a bullet projectile the force of the cartridge explosion can do serious damage if close enough. I wonder if this was during filming the scene or Baldwin was screwing around?
  6. I think she does bring value when she speaks up to Cortez and her group. She says things that need to be said that everyone else is afraid to say. She's kind of like the hockey enforcer of the Republican house. She probably won't be reelected since she most likely won't run unopposed again. Democrats will spend a fortune to get rid of her so the Cortez can have the floor again without interruption.
  7. Racism will always be alive and well in government and society.
  8. I like watching Joe Kelly getting hit hard.
  9. You may not like MTG but she is to the republicans what Cortez and her group are to the democrat party. Greene is not afraid to stand up to Cortez and crew either which can be entertaining.
  10. You have to wonder where people like this get these ideas.
  11. I was hoping for an east coast WS so it would work better for my bedtime and TV viewing. I think the Astros are going to mess that up.
  12. Other teams can get quality players with higher picks and later rounds. We can only hope Al can figure it out with the 12th pick.
  13. Not to worry, DeBlasio will defund them out of a job.
  14. I don't think he would jump ship either. It would be nice if he did so we can keep pain from Biden and the democrats to a minimum.
  15. I'm all for Manchin switching to the Republican party. Cryin Chuck would lose him mind and his title as Senate majority leader.
  16. If it is going down its also important that the spike was about half of what the others were.
  17. Before I signed a lower tiered catcher I would keep Garneau and give Dingler equal opportunity in ST to make the team. They already have plenty of lower tier catchers so why sign another.
  18. Either I wasn't clear or you're missing the point. Where does it end. It appears if someone is offended over something its ok to destroy it or remove it. If thats the criteria for one person why is it different for someone else? Is the liberal opinion all that matters? So when these people saving us from themselves realize that Amercans killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese in WWII it will be ok to tear down all the memorials and omit it from history books?
  19. Just bring on the computers or robo- umps to call balls and strike. It will make a uniform zone for everyone. It will be the umps own fault for so many poor calls.
  20. I saw on the news a few months ago where a city - that I cant remember where - erected a statue of Floyd and it was vandalized. They were looking for the people who did it to press charges. Where does it end on statues or even memorials? Many places have them celebrating soldiers who fought in wars. The US military these things honor have killed a lot of people. Will they be torn down next? Tearing down monuments or destroying history is not going to erase that history. To remove a statue of a person like Washington because he owned a slave seems rediculous. No matter how wrong it was in our history it was common and legal. 200 years from now people might look back at us and say how terrible we are for doing something we consider normal. Who knows?
  21. Why are the statutes there in the first place? Are they there because they supported slavery or for other reasons? Why is ok to desecrate or tear down these statutes but a crime to do the same thing to a G. Floyd statue? A lot of double standards.
  22. Trump was actually a democrat at one time.
  23. He did a lot of good things and I can't deny that. That's what people like about him not his non-stop talking and saying stupid things at times. If Biden does something good I will give him credit for it.
  24. You're right and we'll be giving a lot more if the democrats pass the $3.5 trillion budget package. Even though Joe says it won't cost us a cent.
  25. Most people that I know and work with got about $25 to $45 a week more in their paycheck. Me and my wife each got $30 extra a week and $1500 more back in our tax return.
