  1. Some PGA tour player said to take a bite of something and a swig of water before starting every hole. Most underestimate just how many calories get burned playing golf. I don't follow that everytime but I'm noticably more mentally in the game when I do.
  2. Dude couldn't retain a seat at Force fucking India and caught lightning in a bottle for one race to convince RB to sign him. He's the Danny Willet of F1.
  3. I smash mine before I put them in the skillet. That gives me a chance to fix my fucked up smash before it's too late. It's cheating but it's the same end result.
  4. I said I would be neutral with a 2-1 win but after seeing that pitch, holy hell, I'll take 1-0 and be happy about it. It looked like the ball was dragging an anchor all day.
  5. I hear ya - I'm hopeful we have a team that can (finally) overcome a few missing players and still take care of business like they should. Much like the true top national teams do.
  6. I'd take 2-1 and be neutral about it. This team is far too talented (including the coach, finally) to be happy with a draw against anyone in Concacaf other than Mex at Azteca.
  7. If you removed 90% of the sponsor logos off any of these cars, they'd probably look pretty slick too.
  8. Are we claiming that a ball a WR has to make adjustments on is a bad throw? QBs can't drop dimes every damn pass. None of them can. And a WR making adjustments in order to catch a ball... That's their damn job.
  9. If we don't hold candidates to their promises, then we're just voting on brand. And brand is all smoke and mirrors. Yes, Trump won on brand and yes, this was not a policy election. But fuck, that should NOT be why we pick a president. This election and it's motives should be an exception.
  10. No, I don't agree with that all. If you read all the links like I did, most quote Trump directly. I could have gone out and found YouTubes to corroborate the quotes in the articles but I don't have time for that shit. I did for a couple already, I'm sure I could for all if I had the time. At best, the 93 points have some that could be worded more tightly. But many (most) are spot on.
  11. @Balcones As requested, here is a start on sourcing before I go back to my day job - #9 and #18 were the only 2 of the first 19 that I couldn't find a good source with a quote or video from DJT. I'll try to finish the rest later but needless to say, thus far, that list of 93 looks accurate: BUDGET & TAXES: 1.

No taxes on any overtime income. https://apnews.com/article/trump-taxes-social-security-overtime-tariffs-989016ef41dc1533b05d1871d69c03ff 5. Across the board income tax cut for every taxpayer. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-trump-tax-cuts-election-2024-what-to-know/ 6. Make previous Trump tax cuts permanent. https://apnews.com/article/trump-taxes-social-security-overtime-tariffs-989016ef41dc1533b05d1871d69c03ff 7. Cut the corporate tax rate. https://apnews.com/article/trump-taxes-social-security-overtime-tariffs-989016ef41dc1533b05d1871d69c03ff 8. No cuts in benefits or changes in Social Security retirement age. https://www.newsweek.com/what-donald-trump-win-means-social-security-funding-crisis-no-cuts-pledge-1978310 9. The federal budget will be cut by 33%. 10. Tax credits for home caregivers who are family members. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/28/politics/family-caregivers-trump-tax-credit/index.html 11. Repeal the Impound Control Act of 1974, which will prohibits a president from withholding funding approved by Congress in their budget that he disagrees with. https://rollcall.com/2023/06/20/trump-says-hell-restore-presidential-impoundment-authority/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/07/politics/donald-trump-government-what-matters/index.html 12. Interest rates on credit cards will be capped at 10%. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-wants-cap-credit-card-095900487.html IMMIGRATION: 13. All migrants, including those with pending asylum claims, will be taken into custody and deported immediately by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Should be changed to: “All undocumented migrants” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-plan-deport-immigrants-cost/ 14. Birthright citizenship will be ended by executive order. All persons who were born in the US to migrant parents will have their citizenship revoked and will be deported immediately. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/how-trump-would-crack-down-immigration-second-term-2023-11-14/ 15. Border will be closed with no migrants entering the US by moving thousands of US troops from overseas to be stationed on the southern border. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/19ec173c-2315-47da-98bc-265c29631d36 16.

Reinstitute travel ban. https://time.com/7022828/trump-travel-ban-refugees-gaza/
  12. I'm vetting it as we speak. I'll post the results later. It's, not shockingly, really easy to find evidence.
  13. This is my issue with politics today. You just want to win. That's the only "promise" you care about. That's not healthy for this country. Also, I'm going to need some advice on where to live if #14 happens. Didn't even realize my parents were 1 year short of citizenship when they had me until I asked them in ~2017 the last time this was an issue.
  14. Kick Sauber should just leave.
  15. Is Vance a safer option for the country? As in, should I be rooting for McDs to win? This is what it's come to.
  16. Damn. I didn't think you were that big of a dick but way to prove me wrong.
  17. Rejected so hard he picked the guy who wrote the forward to be his VP. Keep showing your idiocy.
  18. This mother fucker tried to revoke my citizenship last time he was president. This mother fucker brags about killing my daughters' rights to controlling their own bodies like every other male in this country currently has. This mother fucker berates our dead soldiers. Hurls insults at anyone not white. Has the most insane, inept economic "policies". And he just (most likely) won the popular vote. That's a real sobering thought about this place I've called home since I was born.
  19. White man privilege expressed in 5 (ish) bullet points. Why don't you tell us how to spend some frequent flyer points again? At least you were kind of ok at that for anyone not capable of googling.
  20. The most important issue was she was a woman. Of color. That's fucking it.
  21. To everyone saying "oh, you'll probably wake up tomorrow and none of this will matter." That's the fucking definition of white man privilege and fuck you for it.
