Re: Trump Admin Meltdown Thread Part III - A Democratic House
Frum mostly sucks, but this is a pretty good synopsis of where we are and where the nation stands I think. I still somehow keep expecting the Democrats to fuck it up, but it doesn't appear like that's gonna happen. I totally agree that Trump just wants to win. He doesn't want to actually resolve th...

Re: Trump Admin Meltdown Thread Part III - A Democratic House
I don't know enough about the political history, but I would hope the early support for Israel came from guilt over turning away so many Jewish refugees in the 1930s, and forcing them to return to Nazi controlled Europe. I'm pretty sure this is it, not just the US turning away refugees, but all of ...

Which is part of what makes Trump and Co. so revolting.

Anyway, my son tells me this is the 11th time Liverpool was a manager's last game before getting canned. Most in the Premier League.
I guess that's what you hold onto when you consider yourself a top team but have never actually won a Premier League title.

I don't think singles is the right way to look at it, its "outs are up". I'll use 2001 since 20 years ago is a bit misleading with the 1999 to 2000 drop off, but the league slash went from .264/.332/.427 to .248/.318/.409 in 18 years. You're right its really only one per game or whatever, but (1) t...
