  1. Put some potato chips in there. It takes it to 11.
  2. Most voters on this latest Hunter issue - "I ain't falling for the banana in the tailpipe this time" It says a lot about this story that the WSJ ultimately chose to run a very watered down version.
  3. Thanks for posting that video. Watching that was eye-opening. An 80-0 record in cases with significant Republican donor interest.
  4. The one positive thing i see is that the corners are attacking their blockers in screens and the wide running game. That’s been an improvement today.
  5. We’re setting them up for a pass midway through the 3rd quarter.
  6. We are the 9th worst country in the world for per-capita death rates. I guess that’s our standard.
  7. Were you OK with Mitch blocking numerous judicial appointees during the Obama presidency and packing the courts with Republican judges?
  8. If they believe its a better use of those funds, Ok - but they better be right. Brantley's an almost guaranteed 3 to 4 WAR player.
  9. Agree with your point that any cuts will need to be executed with a well-thought out plan to afford the "take advantage of any crisis" mentality
  10. I disagree with this point. I've worked for 2 Fortune 500 companies. Each company went through a period of downsizing and layoffs and in each, the first layoff was clearly easy. In all large organizations (including the government), there are people who aren't adding value, performing tasks inefficiently or doing things that aren't necessary especially if limited people are ever let go. I'm guessing the federal government has to have some of the same.
  11. I understand why the team wouldn't be in the market for Springer given he will likely receive a massive contract. However, if a major league owner is so strapped for cash, he can't afford to pay Michael Brantley for a one year qualifying offer then he needs to get out of the business. Brantley is an extremely consistent middle of the lineup bat and really doesn't cost that much.
  12. Venison Italian sausage and Venison Meatball Pizza
  13. Your Party is trying to take control of the Senate and you give him that sound bite. Just terrible
  14. Why do you think there are 2 sides left in the party? Its the party of Trump now and that's why his approval rate within is greater than 90%. He ran off the Republicans with principles. As Jim Acosta said, the only people left are "true believers and next of kin." Will suburban women and college graduates flock back to this party? It may only be possible if we start seeing the enablers pulled into the streets and treated like the Nazi sympathizers in Holland.
  15. Also, how many of the 42% of the Trump votes in Harris County in 2016 were college educated voters who are avoiding Trump in droves? I think that demographic is going to increase Biden's margin in Harris county as compared to 2016.
  16. I agree with most of this. From my perspective, more efficient government is being fiscally conservative. I would like to see decreased federal spending across the board including the military. Additionally, I agree with having higher taxes for corporations and wealthy individuals as we have allowed the tax system to essentially become welfare for the wealthy. Basically, our government utilizes its resources extremely poorly and I hope for it to do better. I'm going out to vote at lunch today and will be voting straight ticket blue for the first time in my life. I've come to the conclusion that the Democratic Party is more fiscally conservative than the party of Trump as they actually want to try and pay for a few things.
  17. I live in Lizzie’s district. Lots of Lizzie signs in the neighborhood as compared to Wesley. He’s also running ads saying he will protect people with preexisting conditions. Lizzie’s ads are doing a good job of tying him to Trump. I think she holds on the district.
  18. I have no concerns with private sector unions. With a private business, management and the union have the ability to negotiate and enter into an agreement which should be acceptable for both sides. Most of the complaints I see regarding private sector union contracts relate to management making poor decisions. From my perspective, caveat emptor. If you get taken advantage of, don't come running for support. Public sector unions are something else entirely. The politicians who are supposedly negotiating on behalf of the public are receiving campaign contributions at the same time from the union who sits across the other side of the table. That is a ridiculous conflict of interest. In my mind, public sector unions should be required to give up its ability to engage in political activity to keep its right to collectively bargain. Under the current rules, the unions essentially are paying the other side of the negotiating table.
  19. Todos Santos is a cool place. I'm 10 minutes from the western edge of their fence. Since I started hunting in South Texas last year, I've moved to the high shoulder shot location. Executed properly, the deer drop where they stand. It only takes one time tracking a deer through the thick brush that you decide to change shot locations. I like shoulder roasts, but I prefer not sticking my body with a thousand thorns more.
  20. There it is - He went full Otter. I’m not going to allow people to denigrate the USA.
  21. This is a shitshow. They need to cancel the next 2 debates. This is worthless.
