    It's true that people don't hate Joe, but they also don't love him. So if turnout is the key (which it will be, I think) then we've got a huge problem on our hands. While people hate Donald, they also love him.

    The thing that bodes super well for Joe right now in polling is, in my mind, the massive shift in old people's preference. They vote and they don't even have to be enthusiastic to do so.

     A lot of people love Joe, mostly because he was Obama's VP and Obama is still immensely popular. Bernie lovers don't love Joe. Stop pretending that your feelings are the popular feeling. Joe won the primaries, by a lot. People like him, some love him, a few hate him. 

  2. So he’s supposed to have called the cops? Yeah I dont think so. As soon as bubba tells the cops that the black guy it suspicious and won’t “comply” the cops would be even more dangerous to his safety. I just can’t even imagine what it must be like to face this shit as a black person these days.

  3. The waving song isn't really our fight song, but Ride 'em Cowboys probably wouldn't sound good in 8 bit anyway. The history of our fight song trilogy is actually kind of interesting, to me at least. It's not an all time classic, but I like it well enough.

    Balcones Shiner Bock is interesting, opens up a little, and lands somewhere on the decent scale. It'd be fun to boilmaker it with a Shiner Bock beer.

    I was thinking of driving to Dallas this weekend to hunt for it (like I said earlier even if it’s average I still want it in my cabinet) but I read online that someone found it in OKC so I checked the warehouse store here in Tulsa and there it was! I agree that it had a bite at first then opened up. I’m really enjoying it.  Very different but I can pick up hints of their single malt and hints of the shiner malt. Just enjoyable all around especially for the price.

    Outside of the outrage (which is justified)...why is an EMT hanging with a “no knock warrant” guy? Girl perspective. Hopefully, he was a great guy and good in bed because his dumbass is the reason cops showed up and he is also the fucker that got her killed. Also, fuck the police and their bs training. 

    He wasn't the target of the warrant. They guy they were looking for didn't even live in that complex and it turns out was already in custody. At least that's what the article says. It was a mistake in person and location. Oopsie poopsie!

    I see.
    and the same scheme of rotating TEs isn’t a tad prosaic? 
    At least you don’t get your panties in a wad and get too emotional about it. Troll if you must but honestly as a Cowboys fan my whole life (Danny White took pics with me as a baby) I can honestly say This is a prove it year for all players on this team. All of them. 

    Stop feeding the fucking troll. Seriously

    And after all that shit, they both have the same amount of playoff wins. Neat.

    Also, Deshaun added to Houston's great trademarks of blowing huge leads in the playoffs. What exactly did he do when his team was up 24-0? Zero. Imagine if Dak allowed his team to blow a 24pt playoff lead in a matter of 10minutes and proceed to lose by 20 or whatever it was. But let me guess, that was none of his fault, right? But every single loss is Dak's fault.

    I love how the excuses work for everyone except Dak. At least stay consistent. Dak has played with shit ass defenses who do zero to help out. One of the worst preparation and in game coaching staffs in this league. So spare me the Bill O Brien excuse. He plays with Denadre Hopkins, which is better than anyone Dak has played with. Spare me that excuse. Quit making excuses for one guy and trying to paint the other guy as being in the perfect situation. You really think playing for Garrett and this team and this outdated offense is some advantage? 

     

     

    Romo too. Imagine if any of Romos teams ever blew a 24 point lead, in the playoffs especially. The same idiots would blame him (and truthfully, the QB does play some role in allowing the lead to disappear). But now we're acting like Watson is still the best evar and Dak isn't any good. For fuck sake, it'll never end unless and until we can ever win a SB. I want to win one not only for obvious reasons, but to stop this endless nonsense about the Cowboys QB, whoever it is, always being solely to blame for everything bad.

    Pretty sure the Titans would sue. They have the rights to this look which they have used a time or two I think.

    This court design nearly gave me an aneurysm. What an embarrassment.

    Goddamnit, that was what immediately came to mind. Just attrocious. I hated the block beveled slant O too, with the chevy symbol in the middle. I'm so happy we have phased it out of existence. I'll add bevels to designs that should be outlawed.

  10. "Depraved and abandoned heart" doesn't apply here. The fact pattern I recall from law school is joyriding at 100mph on a busy highway weaving through traffic, then you hit a car and kill the person inside. The driver didn't intend to kill that person (or anyone really) but their disregard of the very real possibility that the dangerous action could kill someone is implied malice through a depraved heart (essentially not giving a fuck about the danger to the lives of others). The term "abandoned and depraved heart" is from old common law which has made its way into statutes. It has been defined pretty clearly by case law. The trick is in the various fact patterns.

    It doesn't apply here because when you point and shoot a gun at a particular person that satisfies express malice. You knew that by pulling the trigger you would kill the person in front of you. The available defense is whether the killing was "unlawful" which is what these guys will surely claim, that they were doing some form of citizens arrest and the person did not "comply," which doesn't work as a matter of law. But all you need is one "back the blue" or closet klansmen on the jury and nullification could come into effect. Throw in that the new prosecutor is a black woman and jury nullification is a real fear I have. I have no doubt it's a possibility in Georgia to get one or more racist asshole on the jury without it coming out in voir dire. They have become pretty adept at pretending not to be racist until it matters.

    Nah, the weird green/silver pants are cool because of history, not because they look that great. The Raiders home uniform is the best combination of both in the league. The Steelers are up there, too.

    If they would go back to old school flat grey pants the look would be perfect. I agree the green/silverish thing is outdated and unnecessary anymore.

    This show is terrible. Really lazy writing.

    I didn't really enjoy the episode, but I think it's the opposite of "lazy" writing. They seem to be trying really hard for over the top wtf stuff and being super meta. A little too hard in the last episode. I actually liked the train episode but it was pretty obvious it was meant to be a total mindfuck so much so that I get why it was not liked by many.

  13. I haven't seen anywhere that the Cleetii saw him in the construction house. The first reports were that they were suspicious because of "crime" in the neighborhood and that their car was broken into weeks earlier. Is this just to try and make the case that he "wasn't just jogging" to justify a racially motivated execution?

  14. Gradient colors should be outlaws. They've always looked cheap and stupid. I also can't believe they are changing an all time brand in the helmet design. Maybe Michigan should change too, just 'cause.

    Aww shucks. Now the “he was doing more than just jogging” crowd will have to reassess.
     

    “yeah, well, uhh, he was just plotting his next move for when he comes back later that night.” Will be the new excuse.

     

    “Casing houses” is a huge problem in this country. There’s a whole website devoted to tracking suspicious (i.e. black) people “casing” neighborhoods. It’s called Nextdoor.

    I’ve admitted as much. People negging me want to think I’m victim blaming. I’m not. 

    You may not be intending to victim blame, but your words are in fact victim blaming. I think you might be trying to make a simple cause-effect factual statement. "If he had put his hands up and cooperated he'd be alive." One could make similar factual statements about many date rapes. "If she hadn't flirted with him she would not have been raped." From a factual cause-effect analysis, these statements might be true, but in both situations, the cause-effect fact analysis is absolutely irrelevant. The jogger had no reason to believe that these guys "just wanted to talk" just as the girl had no idea that the guy she flirted with was a rapist. It may simply be cause and effect in your mind, but the statement directly addresses the action of the victim and is reasonably interpreted by others as trying to analyze blame based on the acts or omissions of the victim.

  17. I grew up partly in a developing suburban neighborhood of cookie cutter construction. We used to walk through the construction houses a lot just out of curiosity. Sometimes we'd be run off by the neighbors who were probably more concerned about us getting hurt on stray nails or something than trying to steal anything. My dad sometimes would go inside them with me to look around because he was really interested in construction (his father built the house he grew up in himself). There are people who are legitimately curious about construction and/or floorplans or any number of things. I sort of found interesting how spaces are used in floorplans, especially in that neighborhood where the same developers were building homes that were similar but a little different. Just because you may not find it interesting doesn't mean that others shouldn't either. And I'm pretty sure I saw an article that entering a residential construction site isn't a crime under Georgia law if you don't take anything, but is probably discouraged for safety reasons.

    If someone points a gun at me, I’m stopping in my tracks. 

    I think a black person in that situation would have every reason to believe that no amount of "cooperation" would save his life, since he did nothin wrong, and he could very justifiably believe that these Cleeti were out solely to take his life. That is something I am sure you have never had to consider, same as your ability to talk normally to a police officer during a traffic stop.
