    - Yeah. I'm willing to speak in absolutes about an organization that lost to Donald Trump. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 15:57 5
      - Because 30% of our population are racist. That's it. Period. That's the reason he won. He was able to build off of that. - Jov Jortles Jan 19, 15:58 4
        
        Also, did I miss where the Trumpers have been running over the Democrats in the last year? The GOP has *2* wins in that time. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:06
        
        100-30 = 70... and yet........ - Will Hunting Jan 19, 16:04 2

    - [deleted] 3
      - I raised a question on the backboards, which I guess is the same as stating a position? -- nm* - znufrii Jan 19, 15:20 2
        
        You said you basically agree! - spamlet Jan 19, 16:30 1
        
        I said I “didn’t entirely disagree.” :) -- nm* - znufrii Jan 19, 16:42
  - But how is that Dem fault at all? If DACA and budget could pass, but GOP adds conditions causing a shutdown, then that's GOP at fault. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 15:04 3
    - It's being framed as Dems care more about people here illegally than they do about the military. -- nm - jnine Jan 19, 15:22 1

    - [deleted] 5
      - And since there's basically nothing to be done about it, since Trump is actually dead set against any deal happening... - Reagen Jan 19, 15:18 4
        
        I love the theory I saw tweeted that Trump will be so desperate to get away to Mar-a-Lago that he'll cave. -- nm - Tim Jan 19, 15:41
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I'm saying that the idea that there's a deal to be made is a mirage. Lucy with the football. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:25 1

  - "Kevin Pillar with more doubles" or "Colby Rasmus, The Sequel" are my extrapolations right now. - Name Withheld by Request Jan 19, 14:03 4
    - More power, less defense. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:33 2
      - Looks like Jays see him in RF. Should help defence, eh? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 19, 14:44 1
        
        Maybe some. Realistically, he is a streak hitter in the majors due to his power. - David Jan 19, 16:16
    - Yeah, I'd say Rasmus with more power but less defense. - spamlet Jan 19, 14:10

  - recent intentional dumbness aside, the pods + little kids have been a known thing since soon after they started being sold. of course they should be - b. Jan 19, 13:50 4
    - Yes, it’s the intentional part where the phenomenal stupidity comes in. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 16:12
    - Costco/Kirkland pods are just little blue baggies, not nearly so attractive, but there's a world of diff btw toddlers and teenagers - zeitgeist Jan 19, 14:49

Once again, I'll just mention that if the Senate made people actually filibuster things this would be over by tomorrow. - spamlet Jan 19, 13:04 4
- If they made Senators filibuster, we'd have had Ted Cruz reading excerpts from 50 Shades of Grey by now. -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 13:09 2

- 40 bucks more taxes a carton? hell I'd start smuggling too, just for one smoker it would be worth making a trip every other month - zeitgeist Jan 19, 14:51

  - As if this is anything more than her trying to inflate her own importance in search of a book deal. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 13:06 8
    - if she was worried about her recordings being used, she would have destroyed them, not told someone about them. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 13:15 3
      - Assuming they existed in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 13:16
      - Unless she was worried they were already known. Destroying evidence is not a smart idea. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 19, 13:16 1
        
        It's not evidence until the police ask for it! - Mop Jan 19, 13:23
    - "Oh, I never recorded anything. But thank you for letting me tell the press that I was interviewed as part of the investigation." -- nm - Max Jan 19, 13:10 1

- Wait, they knew she recorded things often and didn't do anything to stop her? - Will Hunting Jan 19, 12:54 2
  - Apart from this being transparent publicity seeking bullshit, this is also the administration that let Wolff hang around the West Wing, no questions asked, so... -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 19, 13:13
  - She was on their side while making the recordings. Plus, these are incredibly stupid people. -- nm - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 19, 13:06
