    FWIW, Jeffrey Toobin thinks SCOTUS is going to overturn Roe v Wade because of this.  *ducks

    Mark my words, this will split the Republican party.  Prolly 40-50% of their voters are secretly pro-choice to some degree.  (Suburban women, for example.)  They never paid much attention to the carping by the pro-life crowd because they never considered Roe in serious jeopardy.  Now it is.

    They're going to get their asses handed to them in 2020.

    Trump rails about unfair trade but talks up the manufacturing growth and the current economy.  How are current trade policies an impediment if manufacturing is growing so fast?

    What? He had three MVPs on his roster and decided to hitch his wagon to Serge fucking Ibaka.

    Aside from that, he has failed to put the complimentary pieces around Westbrook to maximize his talents and get out of the first round. They are capped out with Westbrook, Adams and George and don't have much youth in the pipeline. How on earth is this team going to get any better? 

    Kinda this.  While Presti has been masterful at managing star contracts, he's below average at the 4-12 roster spots even dating back to the early days.  He likes lanky defenders that can guard multiple positions and that's fine but the ones he finds have zero offensive skills.  You can have 2-3 stars on your team but they're not each going to score 30 points per game.  You need 20-30 points from the rest of the roster.  Last season the media focus was on Russ and PG but meanwhile, the supporting cast was so bad that Corey Brewer was the best among them and he got waived by a bad Laker team and no one picked him up.  This season has been marginally better but the problem persists.  He's got Nerlens Noel and Andre Roberson on the same roster for God's sake.

    He does get a bad wrap for the Harden trade.  I heard Kendrick Perkins being interviewed recently and even said they had no idea Harden was going to be THAT good and he say him in practice every day.

    As for Westbrook's contract, there's always a team dumb enough to take on a contract like that.  Take the Knicks for example.

  4. Tom Cotton is one of those that portrays himself as a thoughtful and independent conservative but if you read anything he ever writes or listen to anything he ever says, he's the epitome of a party hack that just repeats the talking points.

    He wrote some piece for the WSJ not too long ago where he argued for a new foreign policy but as he talked through it, he justified every involvement by Republicans and criticized every involved by Democrats.

  5. "He will never see you as anything other than the TGI Friday's hostess on Proactive who lets him bend you over his desk while you close your eyes to avoid coming face to face with that framed photo of his family's trip to Aspen while he drowns your Little Mermaid back tat in a pool of jizz and admires his own reflection."

    My utmost admiration for the writers on that one.  Might be the most colorful of the entire series and that's saying a lot.  I would have loved to have been at the writer's table just once.

    Props to the ending, too.  The series and in particular the last season showed us how the system we have and how awful the voters are give us the people we have.  Selina sold her soul to get the admiration and votes of people who hated her daughter and people like her.  She was elected but had no one around her.

    Brilliant show all around.  Dreyfus is truly a master of her craft.  Might be one of the best comedic actors every considering the length of her career and how she still delivers.

  6. Between this and the shutdown, we're getting an inside look at how he ran his businesses over the decades.  He doesn't understand the concepts or details and consistently overestimates his own position.  No wonder how all of the failed businesses and bankruptcies occurred.

    Her mother died giving birth to her.

    Her father was murdered, stabbed in the back by his sworm protector, Jamie Lannister

    Her eldest brother Rhaegar was killed by Robert Baratheon. Rhaegar's wife and children were murdered by the Lannisters during the sack of King's Landing. 

    The Lannisters forced her and her brother to flee across the Narrow sea to Pentos. 

    She was sold to a foreign horse worshipper who basically rapes her on her wedding night. 

    Her baby was stillborn. Her husband died 

    The Lannisters try to kill her again

    Cersei promises to send troops to help with Night Walkers, doesn't. 

    Cersei/Euron kill one of her dragons with Scorpion arrows. 

    Cersei cuts the head off her best friend Meisandre. 

     

    Yeah....just flipped the switch there. 

     

     

    Yeah, this.  She's made a march to King's Landing nuking everything in her path.  This was the plot the entire series.  Not sure why people think it was a flip.

    lol I love it

    Ben Shapiro thrives on being inside an echo chamber and then only ever arguing with nervous, outnumbered college freshmen in a lecture hall full of douchey frat rapebros.

    What a pathetic little piece of shit.

    And their "jobs" are basically just talking to each other on social media and they've found a way to monetize it.  That's why they're all melting down that they're getting kicked off Facebook and Twitter.

    I'm sure that farmer will take some of his bailout money and still pay his workers what they would have otherwise made picking the crops, right?

    So, Trump started a trade war with China which hurts farmers so he puts them on welfare with money we're borrowing from China. 

    Instead of profiting from ag trade with China, Trump has us paying interest to China while US farmers become dependent on the government because they're not selling product to China. In the meantime, China is finding new suppliers for their food.

    Do I have that right....?

    Theres a fair number of GOP voters that are single issue voters. Between abortion, guns rights, and ramming Christianity into our government, the GOP has a massive block of voters they know they cannot lose. In the minds of these simpleton voters, it simply doesnt matter how fucking corrupt the president is because he provides a path to the one issue they care about. Nothing else matters to these fucking retards. 

    Unless the democrats become pro-choice, pro Jesus, or pro guns, they would vote for Trump immediately after he shit in their mouths and told them it was cheesecake.

     

    They say they're single issue voters but they're not.  98% of these evangelicals would not vote for a pro-life, Southern Baptist Democrat.  They just think they're single issue because that makes it some morality play to them.

    Lindsey Graham is a shameless attention whore who has a history of adapting his politics to what he sees as the prevailing winds. He's probably dirty too but it's not necessary to explain his conversion to a Trumper. But there's shitloads of evidence that plenty of others in the GOP are dirty as hell and most of them aren't shameless attention whores.

    I think we all know what made Graham flip.  It's obvious.

    It's obvious he didn't write that except at the very end.

    Whoever wrote it is using words that appeal to the way average people think about rich people.  "Write offs, depreciation, etc."  They don't know the details but here some CPA talk and they think he's smart.  (Props to the Kramer reference in an earlier post.)

    Donald Trump is the epitome of how poor people think rich people act from his gaudy house to his wives that are all on the downside of their acting/porn careers to the way he throws around financial terms he doesn't understand.
