QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 2, 2018 -> 07:03 AM) These tax cuts are making people rich: Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart are using roughly the same progressive bonus structure, which Walmart first announced earlier this month. Huge one time bonuses: Less than two years: $200 ($150 for Lowe’s workers) Two to four years: $250 ($200 for Lowe’s workers) Five to nine years: $300 10 to 14 years: $400 ($500 for Lowe’s workers) 15 to 19 years: $750 20+ years: $1,000 How are they going to replace all of their employees who will likely retire after this windfall?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 09:50 AM) So have people attention to the stuff that has come out that this group at the Baltimore police department was doing, their "Gun task force"? The police will probably go to jail but they'll go to jail for defrauding the city by charging them too much overtime and stealing drug and money evidence. The other stuff is the kind of stuff that would make you question an entire department. Some of their tactics included finding crowds of african american men on the street, flooring their accelerators at the crowds, opening their doors, and chasing and arresting whoever ran away from the cars driving straight at them. They picked out certain cars, particularly hondas, as cars they'd make up excuses to pull over to search for drugs. Stopping african american males for carrying bags and arresting them if they didn't allow a search. They all also apparently carried fake guns to plant on suspects. It's not systemic. Maybe one or two bad apples. SMH

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 30, 2018 -> 02:40 PM) Sqwert, I just cancelled Sling and switched to DirecTV Now. I signed up for the $35 package and the $5 additional for HBO. I didn’t even realize that that alone would save me $10 versus paying the $15 directly to HBO for HBO NOW. DirecTV Now is sending me an Apple TV 4K unit for free for prepaying for 4 months. Pretty sweet deal. Once you get accustomed to cutting the cord, you will settle in to what you use and what you don’t, and you’ll actually have the ability to do something about it because you can cancel at any time with most of these plans! We are now down to DirecTV Now + HBO for $40, Netflix for $10, Amazon Prime for free, YouTube for free, and when baseball starts, I will get the MLB At Bat app for like $90 for the season. Big time savings. Good to know.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 30, 2018 -> 01:58 PM) Ponied up for Beachbody On Demand. After our second kid we’re trying to get back in shape. Second round of P90x3 for me, but it’s tough given how tired I am without working out. I’d love to do something less intense but the results are tough to dispute. If anyone has suggestions, I’d love to hear. It’s a good service, by the way. Not working on our Fire Tv for some reason but nice to have on the IPad. Start out with the T25 workouts. They're more doable and shorter for those who haven't worked out in a while.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 2, 2018 -> 09:53 AM) Dark on Netflix is really good. It's in German, but the subtitles are easy to follow. It starts off a little like Stranger Things but then goes off in a totally different direction. Absolutely loving this one. We have one more to go.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 02:21 PM) Always got to play that “white man” card. What would you say to the millions of white people who aren’t offended by Notre Dame’s nickname? I’m all for this logo getting scrapped because of its racist undertones, but please stop playing the “white man” card anytime someone isn’t outraged by something. I’m sure there are plenty of other people of varying races who gives two s***s about this logo. This forum is comprised of 98% white men.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 01:37 PM) apropos of nothing, 77% of Republicans think Trump is a good role model for children. That number would not change much if he were to ever "shoot someone on 5th Avenue", as he likes to put it.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 12:45 PM) Glad this is finally changing and glad those who are in favor of racist mascots are upset. Not really sure how anyone could defend that mascot. Thank you! "Hey wait a minute....I'm a white man and I enjoy stereotype pictures of other races! I am not offended at all"

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 08:36 AM) I really really dont like Maher. I can't believe HBO keeps renewing his awful show.

Jemele Hill? John Lewis?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 28, 2018 -> 12:31 PM) Obvs because Trump is racist sexist xenophobic and antigay. Glad you finally admitted it.

Pretty strange that Eminem has been trashing Trump for months with no response and then Jay-Z makes a comment and Trump responds within 24 hours.

Senate Dems no longer supporting Dreamers, per Slate. What a pathetic party.

Greg, you must be 70 years old. Who else watches SNL and listens to Rush?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 09:54 AM) Lmao. The Dem party loves to get dunked on.

Whoa calm down. Might want to put away the Cernovich gorilla pills. I'm sensing some major roid rage.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 07:34 PM) There is also DirecTV Now Good call. However, looks like their plan starts at $70/month which is much higher than Sling's basic offering. We pretty much watch 5 or 6 channels regularly plus HBO. Looks like I'd pay a lot less for Sling TV.

What an amazing deal Trump worked out! He makes the best deals. Believe me.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 01:22 PM) A porno actress passed a lie detector test? I can't imagine she has ever faked anything in her life. Faking an orgasm and beating a lie detector test are not even in the same ballpark. I find it odd how often you give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Someone who has consistently proven how much full of s*** he is.
