  1. Pretty sure I posted this link on Shaggy after the Parkland shooting but it's worth a repost here.

    The mental health issue isn't what most really think it is, and the NRA and those touting it as a mental health issue need to consider wholesale, extremely expensive, and questionably effective means if they truly intend to address this on those grounds.

  2. I played out there last summer (posted pics on Shaggy).  Didn't notice any smell until I got to the east and southeast portions of the course (13 green to 15 tee).  It was noticeable and quite off putting.

    I wonder how the Byron Nelson will fair at the new Trinity Forest venue in South Dallas. I have been on the course and it is a complete departure from the old venue. No trees, no shade. Links style course.

    Fare.

    I predict the pros will EAT IT UP.  May is not the time for that course.  Greens will be softer and slower than desired, and the pros will be taking target practice out there.  Birdie fest.  The only hope is if they get 20-30 mph steady winds with higher gusts.  Needs to be played in September if they want to make par relevant.

    Going to try to get out there one day this wknd.  Coming back from Port A early Sat.

    Looks like Jordan, DJ, Jason Day, Sergio, Patrick Reed, Matt Kuchar are all in.  Think they said eight of the top 19 were playing.

    Any word on the course- what kind of shape it's going to be in?

     

    Andy Johnson (The Fried Egg podcast and Twitter account) posted today that early word is they doused the course to slow down conditions. He reports that it's "fear of player complaints driving the decision."  In fairness, expected temps this week are in the high 90's-100 Thursday-Friday.

    Gore Vidal was right when he said "The American Constitution was carefully rigged by the noteholders, land speculators, rum runners and slaveholders who were the Founding Fathers so that it would be next to impossible for upstart dirt farmers and indebted masses to challenge the various forms of private property held by these well-read robber barons."

    And your alternative?

    Anarchy?

    Pretty much anything Mueller subpoena's him for he can claim executive privilege.  He also doesn't necessarily have to fire Mueller to stop it.  Courts could rule against Mueller.  Let's say Mueller tells the court he needs Trump to answer these questions because he is investigating Trump for obstruction of justice.  Trump's lawyers could then demand Mueller tell them what justice Trump is obstructing.   In other words obstruction of justice means covering up or destroying evidence of a crime or of an attempted crime.  So far Mueller has not charged Trump with a crime.  If there is no crime then there is no obstruction of justice.  If Mueller can not prove he has sufficient evidence of a crime to begin with the courts can rule that he has no case for obstruction of justice and allow Trump's refusal.

    Are you gaslighting or do you really not understand what constitutes the crime of obstruction?

    Also, even Dershowitz (who has been pitching the idea that obstruction requires an underlying crime) stated just the other night that he thought Trump would have to respond to a subpoena and that he may well have waived any executive privilege by virtue of his social media and other public comments.

    That was exactly my point. That it would take him sexing and murdering young boys for his fan base to move off of their position. Sorry that I was just using humorous exaggeration instead of painting by numbers.

    No worries.  I'm not reading all that closely myself today as I am trying to get work done in between all of these very important posts.

    Can you read?

    Were you in a coma during the 2016 election?

    Can you?

    I was referring to "you" in general, not you in particular.  And, as noted above, apparently 60 million people weren't paying attention or simply didn't care.

    This show is kicking ass. So much to like about it. The drama feels authentic which is a great setup for the comedic moments. Barry playing the straight man works perfectly with all of the absurdity that surrounds him. The Fonz and Root brought their A game.

    The dinner "date" with the detective has been my favorite scene so far. Their bizarre flirtation killed me.

    Baldy is a good character too but I think he is dead now.

    Wrong Baldy.

    I hope whatever it is, it reveals DJT as a complete piece of shit human being. Because in my mind, there is no doubt he is a complete piece of shit human being and I'd like it to be something that makes that abundantly clear to the rest of the non-believers. Like maybe if the models who gave him golden showers were 11 year old boys. And he killed them afterwards. And then didn't tip the housekeeper despite the horrible mess.

    If this hasn't already been revealed to you, you haven't been paying attention for the last 30 years.

    Hugo's shit is like the 5th grader who more or less transfers a report on some political topic from Encyclopaedia Britannica and is soooo proud of it.
