I had a friend post on fb that the alt-right is the majority and pays the majority of taxes in this country and are ruling the way they want to rule. I mean. Its a statistical impossibility for a minority fringe group to be the majority of anything. WTF is wrong with these idiots.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) I saw a leaked photo of something, it'll be a bigger episode than people think. Since it was just a photo not sure on the quality, but yea there will be a lot of CGI (as seen before with the wights anyways). -
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) The reason you see this is because no person is fully represented by one party. It isn't a buffet where you can pick and choose your candidates positions one by one. It is more like your cable company where your options are Bundle A or Bundle B, even though you hate 90% of the channels in each bundle. Its a decent analogy, except your choice of cable may also affect your friends ability to choose a provider or even be able to have a provider at all. The two party system blows, and the people trotting up there are awful. Now, in this case, many republicans hoped that Trump wouldnt be the guy he was on the campaign trail when he got into office, and that his staff would be competent enough to enact conservative policies that they believed in. Being that he turned out to be bats*** crazy with an almost inept staff, you are left holding the bag. Myself, I am a fiscal conservative but with a very liberal social agenda. I have yet to find ANY party that believes in what I believe in. You then have to choose if you think social issues or your own wallet are more important based on what we are presented today. Its f***ing terrible.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 01:03 PM) I was pretty hyped to see the Hound, Beric, etc at the wall, but to get a wight just seems like a silly side mission in the overall scheme of things. Considering they cut the seasons down so much and still found a huge chunk of time for this quest seems odd. I'd rather have more flashbacks with Bran to uncover more nuggets and such, but oh well, hopefully they do it well. I'm sure it'll be entertaining having all of them fighting. And it sure seems like they are setting up Dany to do 1 of 2 things (IMO): 1. Become too much like the Mad King and get killed off 2. Jon is able to counsel her enough in a marriage as they co-rule I'm leaning towards #1 as being the choice, just too many references thus far to her father, her cruelty, Varys, etc. The book always alluded to there being a 3 headed dragon. We have two, there has to be one more IMO. -

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) We all know that but he's not racist, folks. No, we dont. He was brought up in an extremely racist family and has shown signs of himself being racist. How would that lead to "us knowing" hes not?
-
QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) Yes. There's a lot more evidence that he is than he isn't. I think he was brought up that way and is heavily influenced by people with KKK beliefs.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) 18th and 19th century Eastern Europeans were known to interbreed to avoid their daughters being married off to Russians. Is that why Trump bought one of them to marry?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 09:45 PM) The Fiduciary rule was a steaming pile of garbage. Good riddance to stupid legislation. The other side is that FINRA/SEC are probably going to be putting their own similar rules on the books without Congress, but they will be way better thought out. It would be a lot better if some investment advisors werent such crooked s***bags

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) Weird, maybe the NFL took it down from their site. Here is the ESPN link, it's pretty detailed. http://www.espn.com/pdf/2017/0811/Ezekiel-...r_8-11-17_R.pdf His lawyers already responded citing the evidence of the victim lying as well as her friends confessing she told them to lie. Gonna be an interesting appeal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 02:14 PM) 404 file not found. Anyway, according to press, the league has "Photographic and digital" evidence in this case. They also state that he presented no evidence on his side. If that's the case, then the appeal could be considerably weaker than you folks are thinking. If they had evidence that he committed domestic violence then they are fools for only suspending him 6 games. There is plenty of stuff to find from the original police records.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) Here is the full disciplinary report the league issued to Elliott regarding the suspension. http://static.nfl.com/static/content/publi...00000828569.pdf Taking a look at the personal conduct penalties given out, I would be surprised if this wasnt reduced to 2 games. Dog and Pony show. if they think he's really guilt of domestic violence, 6 games isnt nearly enough.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 12:03 PM) The NFL sucks, no one is going to argue that. Zeke also sucks so I'm not going to shed a tear for him. Also the Cowboys suck.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) Where there's smoke, there's fire with Zeke. The NFL is definitely weird with this stuff but I'm not going to cry about Zeke getting suspended. I think the point here is how hypocritical the NFL is. Guy wasnt charged with anything, how does that warrant 6 games? And if he was and convicted, it should be more than a 6 games suspension. Instead a guy who was convicted of domestic violence got 4 games. Animal cruelty gets you 2 games. Drugs get you 4. With the appeal I bet it lands on 2 games, which makes the process even more of a joke. Man, he has to give up 8 million bucks too, but not being convicted or charged with anything.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 11:09 AM) Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter 40s41 seconds ago Cowboys' RB Ezekiel Elliott is being suspended 6 games, per source. Not charged with a crime, yet suspended? The NFL is weird.

Trubisky looked like Aaron Rodgers against those backups. I want to see him against a first string D. It was encouraging though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) lol. The Koreans just moved their program underground during this time. They never really stopped working on the nuke. They just lied about it. And we spent nearly a decade trying to reward them for that. https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/dprkchron https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jan/10/northkorea1 SO invade them is your solution?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 10:25 PM) WTF she is repulsive. People are unraveling just an extreme number of lies about her. There is some evidence even her sickness is fake. Shes a weirdo. And her and Matt are disgusting. They havent changed their dirty sex sheets in weeks.

QUOTE (juddling @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 08:24 PM) If there is so much off-air tension between Cody and Josh, then why does Josh seem so eager to get Elena off instead of Jessica? I wonder if it's the producers playing with the footage to make it seem that way... Either way if this gets screwed up and Jessica stays, then Josh will be one of the biggest idiots in Big Brother history Because Elena voted against him. He actually gave Jessica a few chances to save herself and instead she called him a moron and had Cody threaten him. Those two are the dumbest players ever
