Some good news about the new director at NASA, just confirmed today on a straight party line vote: he's a fervent global warming denialist though, so I'm sure he'll do plenty of damage to the important climate science work NASA does.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 07:31 AM) Nikki Haley not happy. At what point will the huge conflict of interest Trump has with Russia get hammered upon? Eric said they get all the financing they need from Russia. Piss Putin off, Trump Organization goes belly up. So weird that Trump gets super angry whenever we have to do anything negative towards Russia at all and is once again undercutting any sanctions against them.

Manchin votes with Dems on more issues than not, and most importantly he'd vote for Dem leadership. Control of committees and what gets brought to the floor is immensely powerful. He is miles better than whatever Republican you'd get out of West Virginia replacing him.

The USS Midway museum aircraft carrier is really cool. If you're in to outdoors stuff, Joshua Tree isn't too far out of the way from the Anaheim area.

The narrows is probably my favorite hike I've ever done, and also the most tiring. How far up did you go?

Lmao that the framers were dumb enough give the president absolute powers of pardon

Rosenstein is also definitely getting fired shortly

Trump pardons scooter Libby. This sends a pretty strong signal about what he'll do with other special counsel convictions.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 12:05 PM) Everyone throws around the line "you need to be more than AGAINST TRUMP" but I haven't seen a campaign yet that actually has done that. Pritzker is probably the worst at it but even he tamped it down as it got closer. this isn't the first article to hit on this, there have been other ones highlighting how "anti-Trump" is great for energize the activists and volunteers, but running on actual issues is what's needed to get enough non-base voters to win.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 10:25 AM) TIFWIW, Bernstein opened the show saying that his Bears source said that the decision was completely medical. He said Meredith didn?€™t get his procedure done by Bears team doctors, and when they evaluated the knee, they were not comfortable giving Pace the OK. And concerning the depth of WRs, there will be additions. This isn?€™t the final depth chart, players will be added. Fretting about it now is worthless. But why offer $2M??? If you're not comfortable with the knee, fine whatever let him go. But you think the knee's worth $2M but not $3M, which would get you either Meredith or a potential 2nd round pick? There's no obvious logic or strategy behind it. e: I think Meredith was the leading receiver during Fox's time with the Bears thanks to Alshon's injuries. Letting Alshon go for nothing and then letting Meredith go for nothing at a position you're already lacking in just isn't very confidence-building. It's not like Pace is above handing out expensive contracts to garbage/past-their-prime players, e.g. Victor Cruz or Glennon. Why not tender the extra million?

southpaw @nycsouthpaw It’s a measure of how vulnerable to compromise Trump is that he was effectively blackmailed for tens of thousands of dollars by a doorman with only a secondhand story. 2:54 PM - Apr 12, 2018

Speaking of the TPP: Saagar Enjeti @esaagar .@BenSasse tells reporters @POTUS looked at Larry Kudlow and said "Go get it done" with respect to rejoining TPP lol

His national approval rating is something like 16%. Nobody likes him. He's leaving because he got his massive tax cut for the wealthy through and will now go make many millions of dollars selling influence and access with far less stress than he currently has.

comical

That seems like an odd move. They only have one real WR again.

Haven't really been able to exercise much since my daughter was born last summer, so I signed up for a gym two weeks ago so I can exercise on my lunch break. Problem is I have no idea what I'm really doing. Anyone have a good weight lifting routine they can recommend? Plan on going 4 days a week or so, 30-45 minutes at a time. Gym has a pretty decent range of machines and free weights.
