Dolemite

A ton of people can't find work because they can't pass a drug test. This strong economy is having repercussions in how companies will deal with it going going forward and it will also be a factor when or if the Trump Administration gets the feds out of the drug enforcement business. At least relative to Pot that is. https://www2.staffingindustry.com/site/Editorial/Daily-News/Tight-job-market-has-some-firms-rethinking-drug-testing-policies-Express-Employment-Professionals-says-45549?

Those polls are not designed to project the electoral college, nor do they account for the illegal voting that occurs. Can we please have Voter ID?

Here were the polls right before the 2016 election. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/rasmussen_reports_calls_it_right

It's at 51% and the Democratic lead in the midterms is down to the margin of error. All of the hate and fake news and still he is above water. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/prez_track_may04

He put up his house for sale around a year or so ago. I saw him a few months ago at a movie theater. He looked awful.

Setting the stage for Regime change in Iran.

Notice how that guy says he is native Korean and has been living in the southern part, South Korea. They apparently don't see themselves as separate countries. I think that bodes well for the prospects of peace and reunification.

The original Blockchain.

Found this and thought it was interesting.

Minor compared to others but, a buddy and I saw The Smashing Pumpkins down at the Fox in 1998 or so. We are standing in the lobby and a cop was standing about two arm lengths away. He pulls out the joint that we were going smoke (I thought outside). I said Bubba wtf and he shrugs like no worries.

Sorry, misread the thread title.

A horse, of course.

I ain't going to argue with you because there is no point in it and you have your mind made up and nothing I say will change it.

Trump is misunderstood and you have to make an effort to try to rationalize how he operates and throw away the norms and look at the results. If you don't you are just haters on the sidelines jeering someone trying to make a difference. It has to be understood that Trump feels like only results matter and he will do anything to get something done. No matter how outrageous it may be. He just has his method and it fucking works. You can hate his guts all you want but if you really want shit happening then who has done a better job at it ever? Reagan is probably the last president to get things done but he did some stupid shit too. The Bushes didn't do shit, Clinton didn't do shit, Obama didn't do shit. This fucker does shit. He has made major accomplishments in every area of how our government works. Jobs, foreign policy, fixing structural issues in how the government operates. Got the pipeline pushed through, opened up new areas to drilling, making the country oil independent more or less that is. And he knows that oil won't be used for primary energy generation in 50 years or so but he doesn't give a fuck. He wants jobs out there for people now and getting off oil too fast will fuck a lot of people and who wants that? Korea has been a hot spot for 60 years now it is done. Trump told China how it was going work going forward and they fell in line. We hold all the cards and we are the gorilla on the block and he knows that he is using that to basically tell the rest of the world how it is going to be and they are going for it. The Arabs let by the Saudi's are finally going to adopt the "Arab Peace Plan" and Iran will be isolated and eventually, probably sooner than anyone thinks there will be a regime game in Iran and Iran will once again be an ally. Once those guys are out of play Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan will stabilize and Turkey will work things out with the Kurds. People talk about how he turns people over a lot. Hey, that is the way it is in the business world. You either do the job or you're fired, and when people fuck up he gets rid of them. Look at the limited talent pool he has to start with anyway. There are probably only a dozen people qualified to be sec of defense and not a single one of them has ever had to work for maniac hell-bent on success. And its that way for all the top people he has to have. People criticize him because of the government jobs in the executive branch that he hasn't filled yet and say its an example of what a dumbass he is. Well, fuck those jobs. Apparently, we don't need them filled as they are likely unnecessary. I have even gotten to where I can handle his tweets although they had a high cringe factor for me until just in the last month or so until I finally realized he knows he is acting crazy but this is how he has always operated and it has always worked in the past for him so whatever. I just don't let it bother me. Btw, every president from here on out will tweet their asses off. I think he is fucking great. Rant over

Like Patton through Europe.

Of course, it is Trump. Korea has been a problem for 60 years and he shows up and rope a dopes them all. "Peace" in the Middle East is next.

Beer and Whiskey?

I was at the Publix today. The one I go too always asks if you want to contribute to the march of dimes, or whatever charity they are in to at the time. I was behind a lady being cashed out. Cashier finished. Cashier: With a sweet smile goes; Would you like to contribute to the march of dimes?? Lady: Ah, this is my husband's credit card and I can't put anything extra on it Cashier: With a disgusting look says: What the hell are you married to?
