  1. You forgot misogynistic.
  2. The problem is that Beau Biden died and Joe didn't run in 2016.
  3. You and your facts. Hmph.
  4. I don't know what political strategy would make a difference other than become more like the Republicans. Abandon women, minorities, working people, pro-choice, immigrants, etc.? At what point do you politically strategize yourself into becoming what it was you were fighting in the first place?
  5. My read on it is that more GA Trumptards identified as independents out of shame.
  6. That site gave me epilepsy.
  7. Yeah. The scary part for me is that some actual smart, charismatic politician is going to realize they can win a national election with a fascist platform if they just don't have all of Trump's baggage and shitty presentation. Trump is a clown; he's a cartoon version of a fascist. We have to hope we're not in store for the real thing when this election is over.
  8. Everyone is on edge about false equivalencies. And it is a false equivalency that the GOP has moved as far right as the Dems have moved left. I think that's what is pissing people off with your posts. Certainly the tangible effects of those moves have been greater on the right (Jan. 6th, Charlottesville). And before you say "yeah, but the George Floyd/Minneapolis and Kenosha riots," those were in response to actual police brutality and murder; worthy reasons to be up in arms unlike a fake stolen election and white supremacy.
  9. Reminds me of a girl I dated once. Man, I really liked her.
  10. We recently had a pug puppy come into our lives. We already had an 80-lb yellow lab. Anyway, we can't leave the pug unsupervised in the house because she's still not house trained and also chews on everything. So we either take her with us in the car or we put her in a crate. My wife went out to take the kids somewhere and they took the dog. When they got home the dog was limping. My wife told me that she had no idea how the dog got injured; she stayed in the car in the front seat the whole time. She also told me that she put the dog in a new seatbelt/harness thing she had bought because she felt it was dangerous for the dog to be roaming around the car while she was driving. I asked my wife about the harness and how it worked and how the dog reacted to it. She said that the dog struggled with it at first until she realized she was locked in and then just sat there. We took the dog to the vet and they couldn't tell us what was wrong until they did xrays, to start. That was going to cost hundreds of dollars so I said to just wait and see if she heals on her own. The dog is still walking with a limp two days later. The only way something could have happened was when the dog was in the harness in my wife's car. I think she's lying about the dog staying put the whole time. Regardless, this fucking harness thing she bought injured our new dog and no telling how much it's going to end up costing me.
  11. I'll tell a story about probably the worst client I ever had. I was still a baby lawyer and I was getting assigned all of the shit work that came into the firm. We had gotten a call from a guy who was evicted from his commercial space. The case came to me. I looked at it and discovered that the landlord had fucked up the notice. So we went to JP court on a bench trial for the eviction and I successfully fought it off and even got my client a $5,000 judgment for lost business due to being wrongfully locked out. Here's the thing, though - the client was a gay drug addict - meth, I think. He was very high strung, very emotional, very flamboyant. He was also very critical of me, despite the fact that I got his ass out of a crack and got him 5 grand he probably should not have gotten because he had very little evidence of lost business. Anyway, after the trial I had to go to the guy's place of business, which was an antiques/used furniture store in the Heights. It was also where he was living. I was required by the court to take photos of all of the furniture as part of the court's final order. So I show up over there and my client, who had not slept in days until then, answers the door with no shirt on and looking haggard as fuck. He knew I was coming to take the photos, but he was disoriented and got all pissed off that I was there and basically threw me out, but not before I got the photos. He called my boss, the managing partner, and told him how much I sucked. So, he fired me and I never heard from him again. In a strange twist, he had a "benefactor" who was a gay pilot. He owned his own 747 and basically served as Air Force One for a bunch of African countries who I guess could not afford their own presidential plane. The guy had a name that was perfect for who he was and what he did. He was straight out of central casting. Anyway, the guy had money and basically financed my client's life. He paid his retainer too. I guess the guy had a boy toy in every port that he kept more or less on a leash. It was very weird.
  12. I didn't have any undergrad debt because I worked a lot and UT was cheap, but law school cost me about $100K and I took student loans for all of it. I graduated in '06 at age 32 (I was a "second career" lawyer or, to put it another way - I fucked around for 5-6 years before I got serious about my future.) I got lucky ten years in and I had a good personal injury case that I did for a family friend on a contingent fee (not my normal practice area). Generated a large fee that I was able to use to pay off my student loans.
  13. I apologize if there is already a thread out there for this. Seems like there is a shit ton of lawyers on this site. Maybe we can trade wisdom, ask questions, tell war stories, etc.
  14. If Jose Abreu hadn't sucked, if LMJ, Garcia, Urquidy, Javier and Graveman wouldn't have gotten injured, if Tucker and Yordan hadn't been injured, if my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle. I'd probably re-sign Bregman for whatever it takes. Dude is part of the core in every way - on the field, in the clubhouse, tough competitor, etc. etc. etc. He's only 30. Get him for as few years as you can, but the AAV has to be what it has to be to keep him. I'd also roll with Singleton at 1B. He had an OPS over 700, had a higher OBP than Bregman. His ROI is higher than some big expensive free agent would be. If you do that, you've got to upgrade in the OF. With all of the pitching coming back healthy we should be a playoff team again.
  15. And there it is.
  16. You're kidding, right?
  17. Pressly, you fucktard!
  18. Can I introduce you to one Jake Myers?
  19. GODFUCKINGDAMMIT!!!
  20. I may get negged for this, but I hope he succeeds. I don't think he will because he's too much show and too little substance. But he makes a good villain and is a certain kind of character. I like characters in college football. Same reason I liked Mike Leach. He may be an immoral piece of shit and his kids may be spoiled, entitled brats with huge egos, I don't know. They certainly wouldn't be the only ones.
  21. What YouTube has proven to me is that you can be a hot girl and do literally anything and monetize it. Hot girl fishing, hot girl camping, hot girl sailing, hot girl driving boat recklessly, hot girl giving massages, hot girl speaking softly into microphone, etc. etc. etc.
  22. Feast your eyes, boys. My best one yet. Hook 'em!
