  • How many times will the dems recycle the Kavanaugh playbook until they realize everyone knows it's the most predictable bullshit (other than their base)? 

     

    As for the GAO, nobody gave a fuck when the GAO determined Obama violated federal law several times and nobody will give a fuck about this determination either.

    I don't know that he wasn't.

    Let’s try this another way.

     

    Do you think he was a terrorist? Why or why not (without using the US Government as your reasoning)?

    I'm not saying he wasn't a bad guy - that wasn't my point. I'm sure there are bad guys all over the Mideast that deserve a missile right now.  I just think it's concerning that we are supposed to believe our government on these matters when history shows they are wrong or deceitful many times. 

    This applies to Democrats and Republicans. 

    Other than the US Government, what part makes you skeptical that he was a terrorist?

    I've never read Vox.  There's always a bad guy to kill somewhere in the Middle East. They'll be another after this guy. We never seem to find an end of our involvement there though.  Republican and Democratic president's are really not much different in this way. 

     

    And just remember that "everyone" said Sadam had WMDs too. 

    Although I agree with your sentiment, that we should just stay the fuck out of the middle east (icl would probably agree too), but this isn't what you two are arguing.  Either you think the dude was a piece of shit terrorist or not.  It's really not hard to believe he was a terrorist piece of shit, while also believing we need to gtfo the middle east.  If you don't think he was a bad guy, then that's on you, but that is quite the losing argument. Even the Iranian people disagree with the dumbasses here that want to paint him as a decent guy.   TDS is a hell of a condition.

    Larry Sharpe said he is 100% not running in 2020, but would not rule out a 2024 run. He said his gubernatorial run took a lot out of him.

    If the Mises Caucus takes over the party, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll continue to keep an arms distance from the party as I do now.

    I am not holding my breath.  The LP currently seems more concerned with signaling to progressives than anything else.

    Lincoln Chafee has thrown his hat in the ring for the Libertarian Party nomination. I swear if that asshole gets the nod I'll be giving up on that party for good. They need to cut the shit and stop running retread Republicans and Democrats that clearly don't give a principled shit about liberty. I'd be fine if Justin Amash wound up with the nomination, but Lincoln Chafee is no friend to liberty.

    My current favorite candidate is Jacob Hornberger. I can see him sparking a Ron Paul type following as he's a good messenger and has actual principles.

    I think Larry Sharpe will get the nod.  I've said this before, but the LP is going nowhere, because they are a cluster fuck. The libertarian movement would be far better off infiltrating the GOP.

    I agree that tax policy and regulations have an effect.  The overall health of the economy - however you want to measure it, though is affected by lots of things beyond just those two factors.  What got me posting on this is the example of QO linking articles to large capital projects - namely new plants.  Those types of investments - hundreds of millions of billions of dollars - are planned and made over many years, not as a reaction of to a new policy announcement alone.  

    I do not say the president has no effect on the economy.  But he or she does not cause new mines or billion dollar plants to be announced with that level of immediacy.  That's not against Trump or Obama or anyone else.  The president does not "run" the economy - that is a way to simple way of seeing it.  

    Every time you present this argument, you are just making a case for why the Government needs to stay the fuck out of everything.  You just don't realize it yet.

    All you have to do is read the Browns' thread from beginning to end during the average season and you'll know that's the case.

    I can't really say the same about the Bengals because I don't know if they even have enough fans to provide any sort of legit sample size.

    God damn it, this has too much truth to it.  I think these people have a legitimate case.

    I worked in Midtown West for years. This was one of my regular happy hour spots. Japanese BBQ. I've never actually done the BBQ, but all the food I've had was solid.

    I went to the one in Boston, pretty good and paleo friendly for verbal.

  • Anyway, the more that comes out about Iran's "strike," the more it looks like they are trying to save face.  Despite the MSM getting a hard on for WWII to start, so they can trash orange man, it seems like there are no casualties and no real significant damages.

    I'm going to Ibiza in May. Bachelor party and I'm in the wedding. Complaining just to complain, but it's a bit exessive for a bachelor party. Also insanely expensive, but should be a blast.

    That's definitely excessive lol.

    Move back to the motherland, probably Columbus.

    I've been in the DC/ Maryland area now since 2007. But, I've grown tired of the area and desire to be closer to family. 

     

    You lasted longer than me.

    I don’t really know the older guys. But:

    • Polamalu
    • Edge
    • Holt
    • Thomas
    • Lynch

    Wayne, Hutchinson just miss.

    Holt getting in over Wayne would be ridiculous.  Also, can we stop including Art Modell in the semifinalist group already?  It's a complete joke he would ever be mentioned in any HOF outside the scumbag POS HOF.

    Yeah, but when the schedule got easy -- geez, losing to the Broncos, Bengals, Cardinals and Steelers   ????  If you can’t beat them, something is wrong.

    True.  The Broncos loss was inexcusable.  As far as the Bengals and Cardinals, I will chalk those losses up as the team giving up once they lost to the steelers.  You could easily see the quit in the team after that game.  They had momentum going into that game (sans Myles getting suspended) and then it sucked the wind out of them.  It pretty much ended their season.  

    Also, in the NFL early momentum in a season is huge (especially for a shitty franchise like the Browns).  It's not baseball or basketball.  When a team starts the season in a hole, it's extremely difficult to dig out of it. Their first 7 games were absolutely brutal.

    The Haslams need to fire themselves.

    We all would have been better off if he was just indicted for the Pilot scam and then forced to sell to a new owner.
