I was looking at German catholic farm precincts in Wesstern Ohio - there were a lot of 540-25 type precincts. I kind of like living in split (probably +5 D) precinct and town. My former precinct in Cleveland was 82-18% for HRC.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

The 5 best defenses of black vs 1.e4:
5. Caro-Kahn. 1...c6 is a tough nut to crack. An overly aggressive white player often over extends and gets into trouble.
4. French Defense. 1...e6. Like the Caro-Kahn, this leads to some tough, drawish looking games. But it white isn't careful, black controls the center with some excellent possibilities in the endgame.
3. The Scandinavian. 1....d5 gives black some tactical tricks and allows for a nice game without much fuss.
2. 1...e5. There are too many things this can become to give it a name. Probably the easiest way for black to successfully equalize with correct play. The issue here is that you occaisionally run into someone who has devoted his life to the Scotch or the Ruy Lopez and has 35 moves in-book prepared.
1. The Sicillian. 1...c5. Statistically, no other opening by black gives white more trouble.

Posting this from Charles Cooke on Ocasio-Cortez only because it accords with the brief conversation I had yesterday with kapture re facts don't matter/personality does. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/...ious-movement/
Since no one will read it, I'll excerpt this since some may find it modestly funny:

Read Scott Adams most recent book, about Trumps art of pursuing "in a world where facts don't matter"
anyways, any suggestion on how to pay for that 33 trillion dollar medicare for all scam? If you tax the top 1% at 100% it wouldn't pay for that sucker for one year. This is why the dems shouldn't take over power anytime soon, they need to chill the fuck out and start making some sense first. Because they are advocating for our country's financial ruin.

Financial ruin? yes, the Republicans are such good stewards of the economy. The current one is socializing wall street risks while they can keep all the profits. The last one Republican President (Bush 2) had the worst economy since the Great Depression.
The Republicans were so worried about the economy when President Obama took over that Sen. McConnell said that they were going to do everything in their power to make sure Obama was a one term president.
Currently right now Sec Munchin (spelling) is considered if Treasury can cut the capital gains without Congressional approval. How? Treasury is considering accounting for inflation during the time the stock (or whatever) was held and that would make the capital gains less. Right now if buy a house for $100 and sell it for $500. There is a capital gains of $400 that you would pay taxes on (yes I know that there are other things to take into account keeping it simple here). Treasury is considering accounting inflation into the capital gains accounting. So the house that you paid $100....inflation says now house would be $300 and you still sold it for $500. Treasury would say that you only had $200 gain for capital gains tax.
Would write more but have to go to work. I will say that 66% of capital gains go to the .1% of richest people in American (and around 75-80% of the top 1%)
2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

When you raise capital gains taxes, the government takes in less money. Think about why for a bit.
Yes, financial ruin. The dems want to add an additional 33,000,000,000,000 to the debt. That is not sustainable under any circumstance. 30-40 years down the road, what the fuck are we going to do with 132 TRILLION in extra debt? and that would be if costs stay the same and our population stops growing. which it wont.
Ben Shapiro points out that there are three qualities to health care systems, affordability, universality, and quality. Pick two. you can only have two.
Bernie says you can have all three, but you can't. It's either going to be universal and quality, but expensive. Universal and cheap but crappy. Or quality and cheap, but not universal. Pick two.Last edited by Kapture1; July 31, 2018, 08:16 AM.

since the James Gunn firing, there has been the loudest push I have seen to defend pedophilia.
