Did somebody jump an M4 over a median into oncoming traffic again? Man the site is slow today.

He's just regurgitating misrepresentations he hears on Fox News, which is why his base is so strong: that's also where they get their facts. We have 30%-40% of our country living in alternate Fox News reality. * "The money is pouring into NATO coffers" - not how NATO works * "immigrants are streaming across borders like never before" - 46 year low * "Trade deal are killing the American economy" - profits have never been higher * The Swedish terror attack that didn't exist * The caravan story that was completely wrong * The Bowling Green massacre The list is pretty infinite. And his modern solution to border crossings is a massively expensive medieval structure similar to the French Maginot line (which, btw, would be bookended by oceans) So however smart he was then, he's now a clueless fool.

Whether he is suffering from something like that or not, I don't know; perhaps it is just years of being a rich, fat fucker who gets his ass kissed and put on TV that he believes his own bullshit and believes he can say whatever the fuck he wants and nobody will call him on it. In terms of your list, part of it is that he is just a pathological liar. As I've said before, he literally has no concept of truth or falsehood - whatever he needs to say, he says it and in that moment becomes true for him. Its a type of sociopathy or something. I've met a few people like that over the years - always a bit of a scary encounter to meet someone who doesn't know or care whether what they say is true or not. They tend to be the most dangerous types.

Now, reading a room and being able to actually be factual while negotiating a deal with long term implications to peoole is hard as we saw with the tpp and the Syrian refugees in Europe. A politician that can actually appeal to voters enough to get them to work with them for a better future is something we haven't had in a while. "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." I'm not sure I translated that correctly but some redhead who didn't get much love from Texas said that.

Djia is 3% down and the vol is not picking up. I can't figure this one out. It's either Carl "never the advicer" being the real adviser or the market is idling to buy off all normal folks.
Which one is more winning again? Edit: 2.3 down close. Vol was like 75% of the average.

Hey you guys, even though Trump totally didn't bang a porn star while his pregnant wife was waiting at home, if you ask him about it he seems pretty friendly

I know I'm the prude of the thread with all my issues but even years ago, how exactly not to puke if one had to... Do that?
Stormy is a few years older than I and admittedly more experienced than I but I have this thingy in my mind when it comes to sex. Partner+I = pleasure. Turst and pleasure. It is not like I have boobs+ you have a very old dinky and a personality of a trump= yeah I want you. Where is that mag with your daughter in the cover, ill warm up with a few slaps... I'd totally do stormy even today sober than trump or dancing

That's only because my porn name is not as cool as hers but I'm trying to keep my head high.
I totally would've taken that career, if not my mild issue with people too close to me and my mild dislike of being under any kind of spotlight and if I could act. No shaming tho, I like her and her attitude in this mess.

So this happened.
The town where the team was based is about an hour east of where I grew up so it hits literally quite close to home. But, in terms of national news, this is a huge/devastating story in Canada right now. I expect everyone on this thread knows the drill, but given the size of this country (meaning a 'close' drive is 3 hours away) and the number of kids here who play sports like hockey for whom traveling long distance for games is part of the routine, this is every parent's worst nightmare. This is just.....shitty. (these kids play Junior A hockey, so they are late teens (16-17 ish). It is a step below a Major Junior league (which would be the last level before a pro league). Some of these kids likely could have gone on to play in the NHL.)

I am guessing that we put on at least 10,000+ miles for soccer in a yr. I just turned over 40k on my 1 yr old Landcruiser. Only 25-30 is for work. |

There is a book out now on how these politicians are coming to DC worth a couple hundred thousand and leaving multi millionaires. I want to find and read it, sounds interesting. Like the guy who bought Phoenix university...had the military say they would not pay for Education at Phoenix University after they leave the military (GI Bill?). The market price dropped 75% or something (for profit school). This guy buys the school, then has military reinstate the school as eligible for reimbursement of tuition.

Then there's the whole Carlyle Group thing that functioned as private equity group directly tied to the Executive and invested in companies with government contracts, or that would benefit from upcoming legislation or regulatory changes. The original defense of this because you need smarties in Washington, but they're not incented to do public service because they can make a fortune outside, so you basically promise them a job in Carlyle once they've done their 20 years in public service. I used to work for a lobbyiest firm in DC and this was the tried and true plan by most of the staff. Nowadays DC staff just go get jobs with any VC, PEG, Unicorn, or take a senior position at a corporation and they're instant millionaires. Most of the house and senate are there purely for the grift, they don't give two shits about public service. This is why our country is going down the shitter. |

You know guys what happens when you leave your home for an hour?
I have one son with zero hair. One husband with zero hair. One dog with a hairless butt, tail and back. I'm really really glad I went to buy lunch ingredients and left a sleeping hubby to babysit. I also now remember why we didn't have a machine for cutting hair anymore. Educational afternoon.
