Trump has now insisted multiple times and across multiple days that there's a Senator in the hospital and that's why they don't have enough "yes" votes for healthcare right now. There is no Senator in the hospital. If your 70 year old relative were behaving this way, it'd be time for concern.

I wonder, if the hypothetical Chinese invasion scenario occurred, would NK still bombard Seoul?

We sent over 20,000 troops to aid Haiti and Japan after their devastating earthquakes. We've sent 5,000 to Puerto Rico.

Pitbull and Marc Cuban are both loaning their private planes to help shuttle people and supplies to and from Puerto Rico.

It's the same way they sold Reagonimics and the Bush tax cuts.

Eliminating the AMT and the estate tax while raising the bottom rate and eliminating the middle rate is going to help everyone! There's also a $500 credit for elder care. That'll cover, what, a couple of days of nursing home care?

State Department and Pentagon officials all opposed Trump's travel ban on Chad. Stephen Miller said do it anyway Buried under all of the NFL bulls*** was a revised, expanded, and now permanent travel/muslim ban being rolled out last weekend.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 02:14 PM) Yet he's the front man for peace in the Middle East. That's not all! This list is from April and I'm pretty sure even more has been dumped on his plate.

QUOTE (Quin @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) No voter fraud, no voter fraud. You're the voter fraud! There doesn't seem to be a single form in existence that Jared Kushner can fill out properly.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) Why aren't they waiving these restrictions that would help get more much needed supplies to Puerto Rico? Profits. Trump on why he won’t waive the Jones Act: “A lot of people who are in the shipping industry don’t want” it lifted.

I don't know if they're still great on pricing, but Tire Rack's always good for detailed reviews and ratings on tires. Blizzaks are great, but they are expensive and they're winter-only so you've got to get a second set of summer tires.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) They have a lot less technology and ability to do this than people think. Linking social media to a specific person would take a lot more than what they current can do. Now if they got cooperation from many of the large tech companies out there, that becomes MUCH easier. But they would have to work together. I can easily see tons of information about a single user even if they just briefly hit a website without logging in. The government really has very little access to that stuff. Right. They don't already do this to everyone, and the troubling part, when combined with the rest of their heavily anti-immigrant ideology, is that they're specifically targeting immigrants including permanent residents and naturalized citizens. There's no non-evil reason to do that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 08:39 AM) I'm convinced they'd vote in Jerry Sandusky as long as he promised to cut taxes for the rich and repeal Obamacare. Moore's thing is very much about Christian fundamentalism and white supremacy, not necessarily tax cuts and Obamacare.

This is a couple of years old now, but this long piece goes over how dire of a situation Puerto Rico was in even before the hurricane hit.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 09:14 PM) Roy Moore is going to be a senator and that is truly awful. America’s probable newest senator has likened the Koran to Mein Kampf and blamed 9/11 on godlessness He also argued that Keith Ellison shouldn't have been seated in the House because he's Muslim, that being gay should be criminal, and he's been thrown off of the Alabama Supreme Court twice.

Roy Moore is going to be a senator and that is truly awful.

He has about 38-40% approval on average and 80%+ approval among Republicans.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 26, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) Well aware. Curious to the comment about the owners profits. I think teams should have their byes preceding TNF weeks 4-11 or however it works out. fewer games to sell TV broadcast rights to if every TNF game is preceded by a team's bye week because there are fewer bye weeks than there are currently TNF games
