    Yea, but now they mean it.

    We're listening.

    My mom was a crazy psychotic. Every day was one long screaming fit. She used the the flyswatter, and her mule slippers. Hit any place that wasn't covered up. I did learn to avoid trouble as much as possible. My dad was much more reluctant, but it was always the belt. The kid across the street's mom would break off a switch from a tree. Then there were the teachers and coaches. All in all, prolly too much of this, but the OP story is pathetic.

    When does that WVA guy get out of jail? A pardon, maybe?

    What a pleasant break in the ongoing sludge of news this article was.

    The referenced book, "Before The Storm", about Goldwater's rise on the tide of the first insurgency, is a must read. Great article, thanks.

    Yet another life mistake on my part.

    Tax reform

    I'm going to promise myself I won't beat my head against the wall when this happens. It is as certain as my golf slice.

    As do assholes and motherfuckers. Not necessarily the best style. I myself like the facilitative approach. But I'm plenty good with Nancy.

    Not bad. Not a pos rep, but not bad.

    Impeach - eventually. First about 18 months of hearings and Mueller related info releases to stain and torture the pubs into ignominy. So the 2020 elections can then ... drain the swamp.

    The last one I remember was n 76 or 78 when Prop 13, which froze property taxes at sale price was passed with a sizeable majority, against the campaign of then governor Jerry Brown. When asked the next day if he would honor the vote, he said yes because "I don't learn fast but I learn real good". Then I did a 180 and thought he was good.

    Had it frozen now for 6 years. Learned to live with that. Did one HELOC during that period, and had to turn it off and back on. Keeps you disciplilned. And cuts down on the worry.

    Your will love retirement, with no business mileage status to prop up your sense of worth. The comedown is healthy, at least I keep telling myself that.

    I think the idea is to hold hearings into 2020, exposing more and more and more, putting pub Senators up for 2020 re-election under incredible building pressure. They may then divorce Trump in a (hopefully futile) attempt to save their seat (ass). I know the idea of keeping Trump around longer simply to help with Senate elections seems shitty, but please be reminded of the Brisket take on Senate pubs: will never, under any circumstances, convict.

    This brings to mind a CSI episode where a guy filled his mailbox with cement to fuck with some folks who were bashing it with a bat as they drove by. Ended up causing a fatal wreck and the guy got fitted for an orange suit. YMMV. I have no idea what the legal line is in these situations.

    Spent Thanksgiving in Commerce, pretty much a poster child of dying small town. They have two Dollar stores. But also a Brahms, which kicks some ass. And a pos rep for Lulu's burger joint: shakes and floats with Bluebell.

    That is like a scene from a distant planet. Just a couple of light years away.

    You are not a law expert? Oh, my sarcasm meter needs a check.

    I was pretty horrified at his election, but, based on my 64 years' experience, I thought the office requirements would bring some normalcy to his behavior. I was as wrong as could be on that front, and also underestimated the sheer mendacity of the dude, even after seeing his campaign antics. So, yes, we all should have seen this coming, but sure as hell didn't. Still, that 40%. They will vote for anybody to fullfill their manipulated resentment.
  21. NBMisha
    So you're saying there's a chance?

    Whatcha reading?

    NBMisha replied to DocZaius's topic in Books

    Just finished Identity, by Francis Fukuyama. He is such a clear writer. I had heard him referenced often over the years, figuring him for some obscure academic. I'll need to look into him a bit more. Anyway, its a look into the cultural evolution, over the centuries, of the current idea of social and political identity, and the uncertain implications. He ends up linking Trumpkins, Islamists, and Multiculturlists in the same basket. Anyone left? Its a slim little volume one can consume in a cross country flight.

    I have also always believed this. Still, it will be interesting, and disgusting, to watch the pub Senators begin again this week demonstrating the low viscosity of their backbones.

    Oathes, I think you mean.

    That motherfucker is off the fucking reservation, JFC
