  1. There's a lot more english later. It was a very good series, but also dark and depressing. It definitely shows the evil side of the drug industry in a more specific way than other series like Narcos, which was also excellent.
  2. I get the sentiment but I don't know how that's practically implemented.
  3. I didn't focus on the tweet and thought it said Chelsea Clinton and then watched in shock. Chelsea Handler makes much more sense.
  4. My grandparents too late 30s, early 40s. They lived near the fair grounds.
  5. I went to the Bush library at SMU a couple years ago and it was so depressing. Just failure after failure on full view at his own library. I briefly felt sorry for Bush, but the moment passed.
  6. My thought too. Fuck Mayfield but how do the refs miss that call? Can that be reviewed?
  7. Fucking cunt! She makes me so ragey!
  8. I feel like you've mentioned Sela Ward multiple times before.
  9. Go punch him in the cunt.
  10. Jesus Christ he's a fucking creep.
  11. He also didn't say Democrat Party which is fucking obnoxious.
  12. Among many things, I'd like to see massive subsidies for wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources. Britain is up to 29% of power provided by wind and solar from 23% last year. They've had multiple days with 50% of all power consumed coming from wind alone. Provide commercial property owners large deductions and/or tax credits for significant retrofitting of buildings to make them highly energy efficient. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/28/storm-bella-helps-uk-record-wind-power-generation-boxing-day
  13. I forgot about criminal justice reform. I think that is huge and should be a high priority. Within that should be the legalization of marijuana and the decriminalization of most drugs. Also end minimum sentences.
  14. What legislation do you think, and hope, will pass in the first two years? Obvious early legislation will be the $2,000 checks and covid related funding. I'd like to see $15 minimum wage, a public health care option (I'd really like MFA but doubt the votes are there), significant climate change legislation, go big on renewable energy, high speed rail, national election legislation, infrastructure, raise the gas tax, let Breyer retire and appoint a young justice. My pie in the sky dream legislation would be adding PR and DC as states and expanding the SC by 4. The latter could and should occur if the SC strikes down a lot of Democratic legislation. What else you got?
  15. What do you mean?
  16. Had that thought as well. Well deserved if a terrorist Trumpkin, tragic if not.
  17. It was terrorism, not just trespassing and vandalism.
  18. Yep. I have family in SLC and go there regularly. Beautiful place. Surprisingly good micro-breweries, but kind of sucks you can't get draft beer beyond 5% alc.
  19. Oddly enough, I think he'd still get re-elected in Utah if he did. Mormon conservatives are odd birds and I think their loyalty would be to him rather than his party. Plus lots of progressives are moving to SLC, not to say he'd start voting progressive even if he changed parties.
  20. Ossoff will win. Hopefully tonight.
