    I don't understand this. Probably my fault. 

    Most tents, from what I've seen, comfortably accommodate half the number of people that the rating says. So, a 4-person tent can comfortably hold 2. So, based on that, and because we'll be storing our bikes in the tent, along with a little crafts table, an 8-person tent seems to fit the best, with an Exped Megamat Duo. 

    Please tell me if I'm missing something.

    God, it has been so much fun to be an Astros fan for the past ... eight years. Starting with the month when George Springer first graced our roster... that was a fun month in a bad year.

    And now we expect to be in the playoffs. A 100-win season is normal. I can relax this weekend and enjoy Texas-OU, because the Astros don't have to get involved again until the Divisional round.

    A pitching staff setting records. Mr. Pena picking up where Correa left off. King Tuck. "Frambering" has taken on an entirely different meaning. And Yordan, who hates baseballs. He punishes them.

    And Mr. MVP himself, the absolute goddamned legend, Slayer of Yankees and Breaker of Hearts: Jose Altuve himself.

    I will be grateful for every win in the postseason. It has been so much fun to cheer for this team!

    Man, I was going to post how much I love this team but you said it much better than I ever could. 

    Ghost Rose! Or, for the non-beer heads, Go 'Stros!!

    The hell they weren’t. Bush/Cheney foreshadowed Trump in a thousand different ways and I’ve pointed them out often. Trump just turned it all up to eleven.

    The return of the Imperial Presidency, the promotion of the Unitary Executive Theory and the expansion of presidential powers. The stupidity and incompetence of the executive. The war on science. Trampling on public education. The politicization of government institutions. The tearing up of treaties like the Geneva Convention. (We don’t torture! Torture is only good at forcing false confessions.) Ignoring intelligence that doesn’t fit your policy. When Joe Wilson proved false their claim that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger, they retaliated by outing his CIA agent wife Valerie Plame. How Trumpian is that? Preventing gay marriage was a central plank on Bush’s re-election platform. Cheney didn’t support it but he went along with it. Bigotry was alive and well in the Bush/Cheney administration. And the Nixonian influence on both Cheney and Roger Stone is unmistakable.

    That’s just off the top of my head. 

    Excellent recap. 

    But the important thing, imo, is that he's calling out Trump now. I question his motives (because Cheney is basically Satan personified), but as Norman Lear said, "Next!". 

    Look forward, not to the past. 

    I'd also include in the list above the cynical pandering to the christian crowd.

    I’m admittedly having a little fun watching her eat this helping of humble pie. She’s been arrested for domestic violence and tried to skip out on paying child support, she’s just not a good person. 

    Agreed, and the color of her skin has nothing to do with her being a very large piece of human shit. So save your racist accusations.

    Not to state the obvious but something is pretty broken for a 10-year old to be sexually active at all, let along getting pregnant.

    I don't really consider a rape victim to be "sexually active", dude.
