    Exactly he’s not a businessman, he’s at best a con man snake oil salesman.

    I suspect like most con men he lacks actual wealth but just manages to continuously juggle debt as he moves from victim to victim. He is an economic vampire.

    How does this draft thing work in these leagues? We had Y leagues where the teams were divvied up by elementary school and with an eye to parity. 

     

    The Chamber of Commerce teams were similarly divvied up (school if feasible or groups of nearby schools). 

    Seems harsh to subject preteens to cuts/drafts/talent evaluations. 

    - Tryouts/evaluations - Not mandatory but if you don't attend you are ineligible for all star selection. This rule keeps coaches from sand bagging talented new players. I am really not sure how you evenly distribute talent without evaluations.

    - Draft sequence based on drawing

    - Draft, first 2 rounds the assistant coaches kids are protected, after 2nd round anyone can draft them. It happens. A few years ago my youngest was drafted over an assistant coaches kids in the first round and another team picked up the AC's kid. Caused a major headache.

    - Post draft horse trading.

    The two events I hate the most is draft time and All Star selection, especially All Star selection.

    This mom always shows up.

    Probably too scared of the Mexican to move down here.  The fact that brown people are showing up in the midwest now is what has everyone up there freaked out.

    Actually, the guys I met were ok with it. They took me to Mexican place for lunch in a very authentic Mexican neighborhood. I swear it felt like I was eating lunch at a place on the Southside in San Antonio. It was like they carved out a piece of San Antonio and transplanted it in Ohio. The guys were very grateful for the introduction of new food and culture. Granted, these were college education CS majors in their 20's not 40 something year old steel workers.

    I really didn't understand their reason for staying but it was some type of obligation to family and Company mindset. There seemed to be a cradle to grave type loyalty to the company they worked at, very weird.

    I bet if you live in Ohio you probably don't think the US is all that great.

    Depends.

    I was at lunch with some customers in Canton a few years ago. Two of them were young guys in their 20's. They asked me a billion questions about Austin. It was like we were in a post-apocalyptic movie and I was visiting from the utopian safe zone that required a journey through a zombie infested wasteland to reach.

    I told them they had really good skill sets and could easily find work in Austin. Why not move? Their attitudes were very fatalistic, people born in Canton were meant to live in Canton, they said. They did say they would love to visit Austin one day.

    Shit was just sad.

    Are they really going to get 100K?  Sorry, not in TX, and I know they are delusional, but if they get 100K, the delusion is going to bring some serious lulz

    Oh, they will be there.

    I work with an aggy married couple (male / female) . They have a fantastic memory of convenience, mixed with selectively piecing together wins that would boggle the best con man.  On top of it all they both throw off a creepy vibe...real creepy

    I'll wager they are into an "alternative lifestyle" that involves the aggy wife performing sexual acts with another man in front of the aggy husband.

  7. We could really use Hunter S. Thompson right about now.

    "Agnew was the Joey Buttafuoco of the Nixon administration, and Hoover was its Caligula. They were brutal, brain-damaged degenerates worse than any hit man out of The Godfather, yet they were the men Richard Nixon trusted most. Together they defined his Presidency."

    It's interesting that halfway down that page you see that the Red states are more dependent on federal assistance than Blue states.   I wonder if that is because the R's direct money back into their own states or districts, or if it is because there is more need there because the economy sucks in those states.

    It's a case of having the poors. Texas, one of the wealthiest states is a very red state but doesn't suckle on the government teat.

    Yeah, but a lot of non-base folks voted for him. I don't think they will again. 

    He managed to gain a number of critical union household votes that contributed to winning the B1G region which solidified the electoral victory. He is currently going hard in the paint for a big pro-labor cause which might strengthen his union support.

    DHS building another database compiling lists of people to monitor because they are dissenting voices (and weighting them by the reach of their audience).  Another input for the NCTC's disposition matrix. This is where Hugo et. al.'s active measures Russia paranoia sows dangerous seeds.

    The "resistance" reminds me of the patriotic fuck sticks that championed the erosion of our civil liberties post 9/11. Comparisons to Pearl Harbor are made and any criticism of their movement is labeled as being supportive of the enemy.

    "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about."

    "You are using Kremlin talking points."

    I think y'all are miscalculating this.  The GOP wants to impeach Trump.

    The political environment needs to be right to do it without being punished for impeaching him. 

    Nevertheless, we're about a year away from legit impeachment proceedings. 

    My hope is the GOP considers impeachment as an eject button for when shit goes down. I don't think they want to be tied to Trumpism. If Mueller drops a bomb maybe the GOP makes their move.

    Yes--we all agree Hillary was (and is) awful.  

    But she isn't president.  Let's focus on the orangutan that is.

    The Hillary discussion speaks more to the political landscape that has been very anti-trade over the past few years. Elizabeth Warren who is getting 2020 hype was anti-TPP as well as Sanders. I don't think there has been a prominent politician that stood up to the current populist mood regarding trade since Obama. While Trump is blatantly exploiting the current political landscape no one else is really championing free trade and that is troubling.

    Obama was the last adult in the room and this is coming from someone that wasn't an Obama fan.

    After the "battle" between automatic weapons vs bow arrows there were more saviors than before. This show sucks so bad now. But closure. 

    What is the deal with the endless supply of saviors? 2/3 of them will get wiped out in an episode and then they are all back the following week.
