    Y’all still aren’t getting it.  The only thing that matters are tangible CONSEQUENCES for Trump and the GOP.   We’re way too far out for this shutdown to have any election repercussions. 

    The Senate GOP has proven over and over again they are beyond accountability from the American people.  The Kavanaugh confirmation illustrated this the best.  They were able to get their way despite the protests, mobs, and farce of a confirmation process.  They did this by controlling the media narrative and painting the democrats as the villains for wanting more transparency. 

    The consequence is uneasiness sinking the market/economy further.  Trump/R’s needs a humming economy for any chance at all. 

    Every day they fuck around is one day closer to D day.  

    So keep playing games, assholes.

    You know that contract will be for a cool billion.  Wonder which one of his cronies will get the deal?

    Fuck this asshole.  Don’t give a penny and make him look like an even bigger idiot in the end - if it’s possible for him to look like a bigger idiot.

    This is a hard one to narrow down.  There have been a number of unforgettable experiences.  So let's see what I can come up with.

    1.  L'Astrance - Paris - Lived up to all the hype of its 3 Michelin Stars, but definitely not stodgy.  Was inventive and playful, and the wine pairings were superb. (April 2017)

    2.  Le Bernardin - New York - Took my mom for Mother's Day.  The food and service were outstanding.  (May 2013)

    3.  Pujol - Mexico City - Did the Taco Omakase.  Absolutely stunning.  (November 2018)

    Hit Pujol tonight.  Have also done LeBernardin.  I’d flip those two. It was that good.  We did the 6 courses...

    Also Mexico City was the biggest surprise in terms how good the food was vs what I expected.

    You can say “until someone beats them....” but the chances of them finding a 3rd Heisman-caliber QB in a row, nearly completely restocking their o-line, finding a replacement for a game-breaker like Brown and shoring up that shitty ass defense before next season and playing for a playoff spot is pretty unlikely. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re top 10-12 but I don’t think even Sooners will tell you they will be as good next season as this season.

    Yeah I agree.  #4?  Most didn’t have them top 5 this past preseason w that line and Kyler...

    I’d put Texas 5 / OU 10-12.  

  5. Say you like gambling but also invest very long term. Why not dump a significant chunk of your retirement in UPRO or similar?  3x upside on S&P over 25 years?  How does that end up a loss?

     

    edit: https://www.google.com/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/article/2986586-what-the-numbers-say-about-long-term-investments-in-leveraged-etfs

     

    I was skeptical when a FA of mine railed against this strategy.  Seems it’s not a bad play long term. 

    Edit 2:  SSO if UPRO churns your stomach beyond some acceptable threshold.

    The Colts did the same thing to the Cowboys & the Cowboys are firecracker hot. I'm sorry but the Texans have lost this game. The Colts are a machine, they will keep grinding, scoring, retaining possession.

    The Colts are going to the AFC Championship game. 

    Lol at the ‘I’m sorry’ as if anyone on here thinks this isn’t over.  

  7. There needs to be another bracket at 5-10M and probably another past that.  The thing is there’s still so many ways to legally work around paying taxes at those numbers, the extra brackets will only appease the masses, not really lead to that much extra tax revenue.  

    This thread popped in my head when I saw the % I would owe then outs like investment in opportunity zones (Bipartisan tax loophole) etc. The game is rigged.  I know everyone knows that but clamoring for more brackets is only a small part of the solution.

  8. The funny thing is medical professionals are trained to calmly tell a demented patient the truth when they veer off into lala land.

    ...

    Seems the R Congress needs the same training.  Fucking clowns...

  9. Very aggy to think OU is scared.  In fact go read aggy, they’ll tell you OU/UT are very scared.  I laugh even harder at that.

    OU owns this conference until further notice.  You can say the conference blows but I’m of the opinion it’s right there w the SEC if you don’t look at just the one team at the top.  Metrics/results back me up   

    I’ll be the first to admit Texas is well on its way back, if not there already but JFC its like the last decade wandering the desert never happened.  Lol.  Homers gonna be homers.

    The fear is real.

    I love that the entire comment section is full of stupid fucking Sooners who don’t understand that Cale is just deflecting. This tweet is simply a way to make the conversation about Texas hating the Horns and get it away from the fact that once again the Sooners got humiliated on the big stage by a physical opponent. 

    LMAO.  You think OU is scared of Texas?  That’s flat out comical.  Hell, when Texas was a perennial top 10 OU wasn’t scared.  You’re hilarious.  

    To be fair, I don’t think Tom/Texas is scared either.  Mack was scared.  But OU scared of Texas?  Maybe it will happen someday but it takes a special retard to think they’re scared right now.  Congrats!

    Wish someone ask if that the Wall is so important ("national emergency"), then why didn't he try to do it in his first two years?  Why now?  Why did we do the tax cut and tariffs first?

    Lol.  Why wouldn’t someone just reason with Trump?  

     

    AB you’re better than this!

    They don't want actual news to get in the way of six programs in a row where they can parade their professors and "reporters" through the studio to opine. Every person in news TV seems to aim at hosting an opinion show.

    Incompetence is more the problem with TV news than bias with one notable exception.

    True, but hosting your own gig means an 8 figure salary in many cases.  Can’t blame the ‘reporters’.  Blame the producers.  

     

     

    Happy to report from Mexico...I’m still alive.  Mexico City beats the beach.  Biggest clown was a MAGA red hat wearing dipshit on the beach at a nice resort (Nizuc).  Wondering how much piss/cum he had in his food/drinks...

    Yes, because LJH is close to that level of play. You fully understand now.

     

    As an idiot Sooner fan, I hope you guys listen to this dude.  He knows his stuff.

  14. Time to hide my cap gains in opportunity zones but will limp in to the market with a significant amount as well after selling 70% of one of our companies to PE.  Can only imagine the bloodbath if we sold last year. Opportunity Zones didn’t exist and markets were at all time highs.  Better to be lucky than good.

    Aaron Donald is OK...  I mean, it's not like he's a leading defensive MVP candidate or anything.

     

    and your Bears' resurgence occurred all because of the offense right? 

    Not saying there’s not good D in the nfl.  I just see offense ruling the day.  We will see in the playoffs the next few years. 

     

  16. In Mexico City for a few days.  Looking to stock the caravan.  If anyone can give Soros my info, I’d appreciate it.

    It’s totally unsafe here.  Redneck dipshits should definitely stay holed up in Mobile, it’s MUCH nicer than this place...
