After seeing folks like McCain defending this, I'm very curious to see what would really happen if Trump shot someone on 5th avenue.

Seattle: A bit of a drive down I-90 but Snoqualamie Falls is pretty neat to check out especially if you're a Twin Peaks fan. You can do some short hikes while there. People swear about this place but I'm vegan so never went. Discovery Park is awesome. It's in the city and has a bunch of trails that go through forests and waterfront with a lighthouse. Stunning views of the Olympic Mountains on a clear day. Lots of great breweries. The Museum of Pop Culture is fun to check out. It's right by the Space Needle in case you wanted to see that too. EDIT: Try to check out a Mariners game if they're in town. Great ballpark and there are plenty of bars/restaurants in the neighborhood for before and after the game.

Maybe he'll name Philipines President Duterte the new FBI director so that they can start murdering drug users.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 12, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) I know arguing with greg is pointless, but I'd like to submit another piece of evidence for consideration that Trump is, in fact, literally human garbage: In the 1980's, he took out a full-page ad in the NYT calling for the execution of the Central Park Five. This group of teens was bullied and pressured by the police into giving false, contradictory confessions and were sentenced to decades in prison. Trump is credited with helping to drive the media and popular furor over this group. In 2002, a confession from the actual perpetrator and DNA testing exonerated all five and they've since been released. Ken Burns even made a documentary on it. Trump stood by his call for their execution and rejected their being released in October 2016. Literal human garbage is too kind, honestly. Amen brother. A perfect example.

His intelligence of his chosen field (business, hotels, whatever you want to call it is impeccable). Stopped reading after this line. The guy bankrupted a casino which is virtually unheard of. Those things are cash cows.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 11, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) I've been dark from the site of late, but don't worry I love you dorks. Anyway, a couple years back I discussed the hard decision to take a new job. Said job was for a company that promoted me to Vice President of Marketing a couple weeks back. I made the right choice. That's awesome Steve! Congrats!

Got sunscreen and bug spray for sure, trying to think of other things that would be really useful Lube. Congrats!

QUOTE (knightni @ May 11, 2017 -> 08:39 AM) How is this group making it four years? They're totally unprofessional f***ups. What are you talking about? Rush said he's doing a helluva job.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 9, 2017 -> 08:55 AM) Huel! Finally watched the episode last night. Damn that show is good. Surprised it doesn't get more buzz.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 11, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Seattle was kind of meh for me, glad I saw it and had some beautiful views, but don't think I would go back. Well you obviously should have reached out to a fellow Soxtalker to get the scoop on what to do and where to go. Shame on you.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 9, 2017 -> 10:25 AM)  Wisconsin’s Voter-ID Law Suppressed 200,000 Votes in 2016 (Trump Won by 22,748) Voter suppression works very, very well for the GOP. But didn't they prevent 3 people from committing voter fraud? It all evens out.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 8, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) Yeah I'm usually the first to defend shows that are slow burns, but this season has slowed to a crawl. Nothing is happening and this is the penultimate season. Just disappointing. "Hey let's reintroduce the young girl Philip is dating even though it's been about 15 episodes since we last saw her. Let's also pretend that they've been hanging out this entire time even though she's never been brought up over that time frame."

It's official. This season of The Americans blows.

Can we just skip the conference finals and go right to the inevitable rematch?

Stolen from Twitter: A sexual assault offender can become President, but a sexual assault victim cannot get healthcare.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 4, 2017 -> 10:46 AM) They've lined up buses to head to the White House in celebration after they vote to destroy the American health insurance system so that they can pass big tax cuts for the wealthy. They're celebrating condemning millions of Americans to pain, suffering, financial destitution and potentially death if they merely get sick. These people are monsters. Greatest country in the world!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 4, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Republicans want your mom to be sick, bankrupt or dead... Don't worry, Ivanka will fix this.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 4, 2017 -> 08:27 AM) Imagine being raped or sexually assaulted and then having to make the decision to go to the police or not because you are afraid about how it could affect your healthcare. We live in a barbaric country. It's insane.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 4, 2017 -> 08:12 AM) I mean its their choice, but has "information" become the enemy now? Information is becoming the equivalent of fake news to most of these people.
