  1. a mistake for any team to get KL for 1 year, unloadign so many assets, for an unhappy players who won't give a shit about the team or his performance. Dumb move Raptors.
  2. https://www.newsweek.com/2020-candidates-democrats-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-fresh-face-kamala-1028991 A majority of Americans, 58 percent, said failed 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is bad for the party, with only 22 percent of self-reporting Democrats saying she’s been a positive force. Nearly three-quarters of African-American voters surveyed in the new Rasmussen questionnaire said a “fresh face” is required in the 2020 election in order to defeat the Republican president, with 65 percent of white voters echoing the same belief.
  3. can't remember if i read it here or some other website, but Kasich as a Democrat would be the perfect middleground to overthrow Trump. As Shaq is the Big Diesel, Kasich is the Big Compromise , a perfect 50th percentile to get the liberals and soft conservatives over to the Dems. He'll win Ohio too and probably the other Rust Belt States. Pick VP from Florida and it's a done deal.
  4. the field is shit right now which means a Trump victory. Some unknown needs to rise up in the next 12 months but it's not happening. Get used to Trump through January 2025.
  5. why would anyone unload so many assets for a 1 year rental? He's also going to not give 100% while waiting for the jail time to expire.
  6. true, suppose cars or pedestrians are in front of the perps? bullet goes through the perp car and ricochets in all crazy ways.
  7. interesting how the bullet trajectory isn't altered by going through glass
  8. i am fascinated by one where the son had his best buddy kill his parents and sibling(s) after coming home from a dinner, shooting the suspect in the arm to make him look innocent too.That was in a Houston suburb in the 1990s.
  9. i'd like to know the percentage of imprisoned with tats. I'm sure it's probably 95%.
  10. Trump is playing psychological game with Putin and Kim, softening them up, pretending to be on their side - to get what he wants. It's all part of his schtick and it takes some time to understand what's really going on, to catch on to the game. I get it now. It's all fluff, Trump doesn't really mean 99% of the crap he spews daily.
  11. unrelated completely to US support for Israel. In fact, supporting Israel makes them more willing to attack Americans, but keep in mind that Al Qaeda hasn't had the Israeli issue in their top most priorities. Nice diversion there to tie in 9/11 to Israel, simply does not exist. 9/11 was not caused by mideast instability though, but by US support of Saudi Arabia which AQ hates more than anyone in the world.
  12. you think the middle east is stable now? An unstable mideast isn't much of a danger to the US. Never has been.
  13. place is f'n dangerous. Even the local chimps are well trained marksmen
  14. Trump now warring poor African nation of Rwanda over USED CLOTHING https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/12/news/economy/us-trade-fight-rwanda/index.html Second-hand clothes donated by Americans have sparked a bitter trade dispute between the United States and one of the world's poorest countries. The obscure conflict is playing out in the apparel markets of Rwanda, where the government has increased import duties on used clothing from the United States from $0.25 to $2.50 per kilogram. The tax hikes, which were imposed in 2016, are designed to encourage domestic clothing production in a country that still bears the scars of a horrific genocide 24 years ago. But they have provoked a backlash from the Trump administration. Used clothes, many of which start as US charity donations, have long been a staple of wardrobes in Rwanda. Yet their abundance and popularity have stalled development in the local clothing industry. Rwandan President Paul Kagame has said the duties are needed to boost local producers and prevent his country from being used as a "dumping ground" for used American clothes. He has proposed banning imports by 2019. The restrictions have upset traders in the United States. The Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles Association, which represents companies that sell used and recycled clothing, filed a complaint with the US government in 2017 arguing that the trade barriers put thousands of American jobs at risk. Following a review, the Office of the United States Trade Representative warned in March that it would suspend some benefits that Rwanda had under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which allows sub-Saharan African countries to export to the United States without facing tariffs. Rwanda would, for example, lose the right to export duty-free apparel to the United States. "The President's determinations underscore his commitment to enforcing our trade laws and ensuring fairness in our trade relationships," Deputy U.S. Trade Representative C.J. Mahoney said in March. Rwanda, which was given 60 days to roll back the restrictions, refused to budge.
  15. and who would win that for real? these 2 are American icons. Interestingly, they had 100% opposite political views.
