    I agree, I don't see why Pence would do that. Now, I can see a scenario where Pence agrees to that in advance, but once he becomes Prez, reneging. Pence could still literally wave the MAGA flag and not tender a pardon, simply saying that Trump committed no crime so he doesn't need a pardon. The base would buy that. And what could Trump do, go public with the deal? Even the base would find that distasteful...well some of them anyway. Not like they could put a deal like that in writing or enforce it in any way. Heck, Pence could even take an under the table payoff and still renege.

    Damn I had my best day in a while playing these two.

    What's up with ALPP? It just jumped over my buy-in point of .062. Up 26% on the day.

    Should've stuck around for the 10 minute zoom call with some Baylor spare, his dad and "Papa Favre." This is why I dvr and watch later, to ff thru crap like this.

    Don't go too cheap on the OBD. Get one that allows you to reset the warning. You gonna have to read reviews to make sure the 'reset' function actually works. But tighten the gas cap first.

    I thought they had to actually proceed to the center circle for the tip off. The Magic left the floor well before official tip time.

    It's Algonquin for "the good land."

    I know it's Giannis, but other than that, it's still just Milwaukee and Orlando. Love 'em or hate 'em, if the Lakers don't go out, that will be extremely powerful.

    Whatcha reading?

    shakahorn replied to DocZaius's topic in Books

    Catching up on some reviews. Thought this one was OK. Kinda stops and starts but the conclusions are different than what I was anticipating. This one started good, ended kinda meh. Quick read though, so right about when you feel like giving up on it, it's over. Waaaaaay too much detail about the geography of Berkeley which adds nothing to the story even if you're familiar with the area. Wife (no pics assholes) went to Cal so I know the area reasonably well and all I could think was, who tf cares. Just started this one. It's holding my interest quite well through the first few chapters.

    Well the Kaiser had a baby arm and Trump has a...

    Today I like: Rays -147 vs Blue Jays. Although Rays are 17-9 and I swear I've bet on them on all 9 of those losses. Brewers -132 @ Pirates. Pit sucks. Mil should bounce back after a series loss to the Twins. Which brings me to: Twins -143 @ Royals. Been riding the Twins and although they are better at home, I like them today. A's +105 vs Angels. Angels suck. Fiers hasn't done great this year, but Heaney only marginally better. Can't figure why the A's are home dogs. Finally, this one vexes me, seems so obvious. CHW @ CHC O/U is at 9.5. Why is that number so high? Yeah Wrigley has traditionally been a hitters park, and the wind is blowing out right now, and DH rule is in effect, but with Keuchel and Lester going, just seems like a sucker bet.

    $300 an oz seems...high. Probably closer to half of that.

    It was pretty obvious she was going to be the pick. I dunno man, if I was the R's, I would've thought about this a few weeks ago and come up with 2-3 solid talking points to release immediately upon announcement. There were at most 2-3 others for whom they needed to prepare.
  18. shakahorn
    As many have said already, kind of a no brainer. I really hope it took this long to announce her because the dems were doing extremely deep vetting and preparing for any negativity that might come out.

    I've been watching and waiting for an entry point and kinda wondering why there's no discussion here. Sure seems to fit the very definition of a stonk.

    Yeah I'm somewhat ashamed that I've lived this long, frequented sites like surly and it's predecessors and never seen these names before. All I got is Mike Hunt.

    I am concerned that the volume of votes by mail will overwhelm the system, especially in those jurisdictions where it hasn't been used much. Look at what's happened to unemployment payment processing in many if not most states. They weren't used to having that volume of claims and it overwhelmed them. I haven't heard anything about states' plans to address this.

    Not sure whether it's funny or sad that it's so obvious he doesn't review what he's about to read, no matter what it is. He reads prepared statements like Larry Bud Melman used to read cue cards. Or like first graders who have to read aloud in class. You can easily tell where the line breaks are on anything he's reading.

    Nice call on the Reds yesterday. They are good value again today, at +141 but still a tough play. I like Minny in the early game, -191 but they are good and Pitt is...not. Also look for LAD to bounce back -129 at SD.

    You could get a VPN for a few bucks a month and connect to a server outside of the Houston market. But that would be cheating.

    I think I'll follow you on both of those. Also like Rays -182 at Orioles, kinda expensive. Might try to parlay that with something else. Liking over 9 A's/Mariners. Sea bullpen sucks. Also liking LAD -120 at Arizona.
