    The Trump Card...

    As a SOLE source it should be a red flag for anybody. That's why I said they've almost made it part of their mission with regard to charter schools. If a newspaper has a mission of a particular issue, that kind of bias needs to be taken into account. But that doesn't mean their reporting is...

    Feminists Shame Christie Brinkley

    No, she's not a nutjob. Not a SJW. She is very liberal, though. She was a NY delegate to the Democratic Convention in 2000, and over the years has given over $100,000 to the Democratic Party, Clinton, Obama, Senate campaigns, and organizations like MoveOn.org. But she was also vocal (as vocal...

    Ok "vintage" sprinter owners

    That many error codes just screams an electrical short somewhere. Even a weak battery will give you all kinds of totally unrelated error codes. As FlyingVan said, that particular areas of the wiring harness is famous for shorting out. I had mine repaired when it happened in that spot, but it...

    The Trump Card...

    That's exactly what has happened with many of the charter school in Michigan that DeVos has praised as a success. They take the money and then provide almost no education. Over the years the Detroit Free Press has almost made it a part of their mission to expose what is happening with charter...

    Feminists Shame Christie Brinkley

    Feminists are blasting Christie Brinkley for looking good at age 63. She's not ugly enough, or fat enough, or dark enough, or doesn't look old enough, and, she's not holding up a sign that says "Women's Equality!" Christie Brinkley, 63 years old, shown standing on a hidden apple box along side...

    The Trump Card...

    Yes. Article I of the Constitution describes the design of the legislative branch of US Government - the Congress. It deals with the ideas including the separation of powers between branches of government (checks and balances), the election of Senators and Representatives, the process by which...

    The Trump Card...

    They won't be less intelligent, no. But they will be overstepping their authority for their own political ideals, as the law is clearly on the side of the President. Congress, (Legislative branch of government) unambiguously granted clear and sole authority to the President (Executive branch of...

    Unbelievable!

    Shin Lim is awesome. Close up sleight of hand is my favorite magic, generally speaking, because when done right it's just beautiful. And he's the reigning FISM world champion. The first time I ran across one of his videos was when he was on Penn and Teller's Fool Us, where if you fool them then...

    This is a pretty intense video right here. Fair warning to liberals: Don't watch this.

    The Trump Card...

    Earlier, somewhere in this thread, I voiced my opinion on Betsy DeVos, being that I think picking her is a mistake. I didn't expound on why, so I'll get into that here, briefly. But one thing, if the Democrats had been honest with the other cabinet picks, instead of being purely partisan and...

    The Trump Card...

    Yep. It's corporate taxes and unnecessary regulations that are making the difference.

    Nobody told him "It's the cash now." They all know how the process works.

    The Trump Card...

    There's certainly an argument to be made for having some wort of mental problem when you do things based on the advice of an imaginary friend. Not according to the definition of terrorism. Depends on what they do.

    The Trump Card...

    Hardly silence. Trump has been meeting with leaders from all types of businesses gathering data on which taxes and regulations kill jobs. But Trump can't reduce taxes with an executive order, that's Congress.

    The Trump Card...

    Interesting that, thus far, not a peep out of the mainstream press regarding an AP article. In putting the restraining order on Trump's travel and immigration ban, the judge asked the DOJ lawyers "How many arrests have there been of foreign nationals from those seven countries since 9/11?" "I...

    What Commercial Worked?

    I thought the Hyundai ad, even though there wasn't a single car in the ad, that was actually filmed during the game that allowed some soldiers stationed overseas get to sit there with a 360° screen with their families was pretty awesome. I also liked the Cam Newton/Miranda Kerr Buick ad. And...

    Eventually, yeah. But the NYT still to this day refuses to label Hasan's 2009 shooting as terrorism, and the Washington post finally gave in a gave terrorism a backhanded nod when the Army finally classified the victims of the shooting as casualties or war (for benefits, Purple Hearts, etc.)...

    The Trump Card...

    Putin is only off-limits as long as Putin doesn't criticize Trump. Trump doesn't attack, he counter-punches. Right after Trump won the election, he first spoke to the world leaders who hadn't criticized him. He took his sweet time in speaking with British Prime Minister Therese May because she...

    The Trump Card...

    Well, terrorism happens every day somewhere in the world, with literally dozens of attacks around the globe each day. The University of Maryland has a Global Terrorism Database that makes that pretty clear. It's impossible for the US media, or any other mass media, to cover each and every one of...

    The Trump Card...

    Well, that was my opinion at the time, based on the information available to me at that time. I even outlined my reasoning for having that opinion. But my opinion that she simply misspoke, as many others have done in the past, has changed to that of her being ignorant and incompetent. Ignorance...
