Game changer.
 
first round of debates should just be all the candidates sitting down to play the Lion King on SEGA.

You get three lives. the 5 who get the furthest move on to the debates.

Plenty of links inside that link to many stories about Biden and touching women. Now go away.

El-Oh-El... the Vox headline literally states "The media gave Biden a pass for years. It won’t in 2020."

Why did the media give him a pass for years?

And doesn't this contradict Ph's claim regarding the past media reports on Biden's behavior?

So either Vox is correct or PhDeac is correct. Which one is it?
 
In Philly, we called the game Utah (have no idea why). In CA they called it 31. You play on a basketball court with 3-6 people and try to score. The player who reaches 21 or 31 exactly (2 for a FG, 1 for a FT) wins. If you go over you go back to 11 or 21.

There are virtually no rules or out of bounds lines.

That'll get you a winner.

When was the last time you held a basketball?

The last time I played in a competitive game was about eight years ago. I decided that if I couldn't play in our A game I wouldn't play. Our game had guys who had played at UC-Riverside, Northwestern, Hofstra, invited walk-on at Kansas, a D2 All-American DB and others.

It's not about the guys in the lesser game being bad guys. They just don't know enough to know how to get in and out of the way and other things that could lead to injuries.

I shot some a couple of months ago at a park and in October in MA with my grand-nephew. I played a little halfcourt with a couple of people early in 2018, but that doesn't really count for much.

Proving once again the media’s role in pushing stories their peer establishment (gov) Dems feel are most relevant.

See Barr releasing a memo in short order and announcing mid April release. Meanwhile Dems have made a career out of stonewalling evidence these past two years. Months become years and then the response is “that was so long ago, what matter is it now?”

Nothing so full of SHIT as the Democrat Apparatchik and their lap dog press and it’s Pavlovian followers..
 
Another Buttigieg hit piece from the devious socialist bros!

Pete sure was amazed by....a clock tower.

So, even though he grew up on the campus of a top private university 90 minutes from Chicago, the Boston subway amazed him. “My face would[…] have stood out amid the grumpy Bostonians, betraying the fact that I was as exhilarated by the idea of being in a ‘big’ city as I was by the new marvels of college life.” He claims to have always found something “distant and even intimidating about the imagery” of being a student. His dorm was a “wonder” because it had exposed brick, “a style I’d only ever seen in fashionable restaurants and occasionally on television.” In a ludicrous passage, he suggests that he found the idea of a clock on a bank a wondrous novelty: “Looking up overhead, I could note the time on a lighted display over the Cambridge Savings Bank building. I felt that telling the time by reading it off a building, instead of a watch, affirmed that I was now in a bustling place of consequence.” Uh, you can tell time off a building on the Notre Dame campus, too, albeit in analog form—clock towers are not a unique innovation of the 21st century megalopolis.
 
yeah, we already know no one is pure enough except Bernie.

Before I dive into Shortest Way Home’s account of the life and career of Peter Buttigieg, let me be up front about my bias. I don’t trust former McKinsey consultants. I don’t trust military intelligence officers. And I don’t trust the type of people likely to appear on “40 under 40” lists, the valedictorian-to-Harvard-to-Rhodes-Scholarship types who populate the American elite. I don’t trust people who get flattering reams of newspaper profiles and are pitched as the Next Big Thing That You Must Pay Attention To, and I don’t trust wunderkinds who become successful too early. Why? Because I am somewhat cynical about the United States meritocracy. Few people amass these kind of résumés if they are the type to openly challenge authority. Noam Chomsky says that the factors predicting success in our “meritocracy” are a “combination of greed, cynicism, obsequiousness and subordination, lack of curiosity and independence of mind, [and] self-serving disregard for others.” So when journalists see “Harvard” and think “impressive,” I see it and think “uh-oh.”

ok, sir
 
We already knew ITC wants to be ruled by technocratic elites.
 
if you guys dont want to waste your time, just know that most of that piece is how butthurt the author is that Pete grew up in suburbia and did well in school and how not-cool that is
 
maybe RJ is right about the horsehoe. the M&M bros call anyone they don't like "technocrats" simply because they display some competence and/or recognition thereof. weird how that doesn't apply to a lifelong politician they support, though
