Re: To the extent it comes up: Trump crap post-WH years

I haven't talked about trump with my trump-supporting parts of the family in a while. Luckily I think we're down to 3 (my mom, my brother and sister-in-law) who are all very religious and I'm debating breaking that streak to ask them how they can reconcile this latest Bible stunt with their faith?

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random

Are you calling Mrs. SC a hooker? That’s how I read it. I gotta side with the Mrs. here. Being “owed” a kiss us some caveman or 70s-80s comedy movie shit. Which makes SC's perspective understandable. Yeah, we're lucky SC didn't argue that a gentle slap to put the woman in her place is definitely ac...

Mutherfucking free throws. Extra annoying to lose that way. Go Coogs or Aggies. Whatever.

My only gripe with this tournament. Start a game on the hour, every hour from 1-8 ET. This isn’t difficult.

I remember DSafe explaining the above before, but it’s still a bad viewing experience.

In the Oakland game, I thought the ball did hit the NC State guys pinkie, but I thought it happened before the ball left the Oakland guy's hand. Not one announcer mentioned that though. Yeah, I agree. And, why didn’t they call that over-and-back? It seemed pretty clear to me that the Oakland player...

Interesting how a felled Gonzaga player clearly in pain doesn’t warrant a stoppage of play like when FAU’s Goldin flopped like he was on a broadway stage yesterday.

Why did that person leave in the first place? Moved to take care of his mother. (That sounded ominous. He moved to be the primary caregiver for his mother.) Sounds like you're not happy his mom got better tbh. Seriously though, to me that seems like it would be less worrisome knowing that.
