  1. No killer instinct. Ever.
  2. So no military tribunals... yet?
  3. All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    Hey, at least we got a network that no one can watch.

    Yes this is not entertaining product.
  6. I love her.
  7. He's not wrong.
  8. It's more fitting to make it a means test the opposite way: only give it to higher net worth boomers with the expectation that it should "trickle down" to lower net worth boomers. We can call it "trickle down" economics or something like that.
  9. I reply to these in Russian.
  10. That would suboptimal in a world where the other party worships the apocalyptic prophecies of an anonymous 8chan user.
  11. Needs more stars.
  12. No. It would not.
  13. I don't understand why he keeps revisiting this. The totally-not-an-agent of Russia just withdrew troops from Germany, has withdrawn from nuclear proliferation treaties, signed off on Russian invasion of Ukraine, ceded power to them in Syria, sided with their president over his own intelligence service, not enforced bipartisan sanctions against them, and makes a daily effort to light our country on fire, question our electoral system integrity, and deepen divides to the point where we actually have to contemplate the likelihood of a civil war. Unredact the full Mueller report or shut the fuck up.
  14. Looks like he would have had to drive 60+ miles for this. What an evil fucker.
  15. We're seeing the birth of a new religion here. Seriously.

    My favorite character is probably Mario. And I'll be damned if I haven't thought about Johnny Gentle a lot in the past few years.
  17. I read this as what it is, a warning shot. Maybe the only benefit of having such inequity in America is that those who truly wield the power have way too much to lose. Brisket said up above that abuse of power in regard to the election and peaceful transition of power would lead to civil war. It may, but it assuredly would lead to violence and serious unrest. As if the world and current events aren't enough, this would be truly transformational action would upset an awkward balance of power that has been maintained for centuries.
  18. Electoral college quorum is 359 electors (2/3 of 538). If red states push elections or refuse to certify election results, the EC won't have a quorum. Then all hell breaks loose. My quick math this morning on red state / blue state electors left me with a total of 313 present, 225 not present. Good news is that every swing state secretary of state is a Dem except Florida. Still scary. Here's how I broke the states down, btw.

    It's a masterpiece. In terms of reference materials, I didn't use any. Although I did read Aaron Swartz annotations and analysis on it. I would have to put the book down from time to time to think about it. The sections on depression, drug use, and even suicidal ideation stuck with me. I don't struggle with them myself but DFW was able to explain them in ways that I still think about today.
  20. We need to eliminate the presidency.
