  1. They were going after Carhart this week too. I don’t remember why but it was understandably stupid and ignorant.
  2. Like some fat ass MAGA hat wearing goofball is going to stop buying the shareable pack of peanut butter M&M’s and eating the whole package while wearing his too small NFL jersey this weekend watching the playoffs. The same NFL he claimed he’d quit watching because of their wokeness.
  3. More democrats opposed it than supported it in congress. Yes Clinton signed it but many of his party didn’t like it. It was a Republican initiative and as a guy presenting himself as a New Democrat Clinton signed it. I don’t hold it against him. But it definitely wasn’t a Democratic Party push.
  4. Gillette did this a few years ago with a commercial telling young men to not be jerks. The pseudo macho right wingers saw it as another data point for the pussification of the male species.
  5. They did it because they knew the snowflakes like Tucker and other right wing nut jobs would get triggered and devote airtime to their product. It’s advertising. Genius move by Mars.
  6. Is that real? I thought it was satire
  7. I believe at some point in the 90s the Greek Orthodox and RCC resolved their differences and each can now receive communion from each other. Also revoked their blanket excommunications.
  8. We were saved by less than 25 people. I recall these discussions at the time and being very worried that some no name election official appointed to some county or state board that nobody paid attention to could disrupt something we think is just a formality. Yes Pence did the right thing at the time.... but what would have played out if he didn't? What if he stood up there and rejected the ballots? Even if he didn't have the technical authority. What would have been the process to carry on with the vote? We can sit here and say "They can't do that" but like so many things with Trump he will still do that.
  9. I saw an article that says the Tigers have 3 prospects among the top 100. That doesn't seem like a lot considering the shape they've been in the last 6 years. With 30 teams everyone should have at least 3, statitically speaking.
  10. I seriously don't think you understand what the word obstruction means.
  11. hopefully she's been arrested already?
  12. and many of them will die trying. I don't like the idea of in any way giving someone an excuse to avoid a vaccine.
  13. so by your logic any investigation can be thwarted if the target just obstructs since the focus of the investigation wasn't originally obstruction. The follows the Trump and GOP playbook to just ignore all inquiries and let things burn out and say "it's old news now, you got nothing"
  14. was also the only time a member of a president's own party voted for conviction.
  15. It's the Dave Ramsey folks. They see wealth as a virtue. It means you did something right. Tax cuts for the rich is in the bible somewhere isn't it?
  16. Nothing came of the Mueller report because Barr got the report and changed the narrative and in his summary left out incriminating bits. Remember, Mueller didn't have the power to indict. He didn't have the same powers that Ken Starr had. His job was to investigate and hand it off to DOJ. Barr said "Thanks, we got this, and then threw it in the trash". That was why he was picked to be AG.
  17. I remember one year, I think it was 2002, where they got a deal done and nobody really knew they were working on it.
  18. and when he says "Why are you guys following this idiot Trump" they would immediately renounce their Christianity or call him "Fake news".
  19. she's precisely why it shouldn't be considered 'clear' in place of a vaccine. Maybe she would have relented and gotten the vaccine instead. To my knowledge nobody has died from the vaccine. People are bad at math.
  20. According to Nessel no. Former Secretary of State Terry Lynn Land would have been a trump elector and she refused to participate. I don’t see how it’s not fraud.
  21. I don't want any blacks living near me. It's not racist. Its about safety. I know there isn't any crime near me right now but the lady across the street said she heard some things happening so we need to feel safe.
  22. Lots of good stuff happening.... Jan 6 want to talk to Ivanka... GA wants a criminal grand jury for Trump's interference...
  23. People who are audiophiles say it's better. The technology that compresses music digitally apparantly does something to it. I won't claim to be smart enough to know. But there is a romance to setting up the player, getting the record out, moving the needle... not unlike smoking a pipe instead of a cigar. Or maybe drip coffee instead of a regular Mr. Coffee machine. The process is what makes it enjoyable.
