  1. About the unemployment rate?
  2. The unemployment rate is a really crummy way to evaluate how people of color feel (or should feel) about the president and his policies. Employment doesn't equal dignity. And he marginalized not just the football players, but the whole reason they were kneeling, which we have another thread devoted to.
  3. Twins Fangraphs playoffs odds: over 80%; chances to win the division: over 50%. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds
  4. For sure. But at least we know Trump was a loser during his supposed hey-day. (I have no idea how they obtained them. Probably through NY state leaks.)
  5. Now that was a quick game. Now what do I do with my evening?
  6. What do you even mean by guerrilla tactics? Are we hiding behind trees or trash cans? Are we using grenades or merely automatic weapons? I mean if we're not using a molotov cocktail or two, I don't know how you can call it guerrilla tactics. And any way, what do you think of chem trails, because that's the heart of the discussion?
  7. First from what I saw on twitter earlier today.
  8. I was just kidding. As Levi said, you hold people accountable at the ballot box. But you can also do so through publicity, which in turn affects how politicians do at the ballot box. We've seen reformers get elected as Attorney Generals/District Attorneys recently. It would be nice to see same get elected to Sheriffs, etc. Even though people care about this issue, they tune out local politics -- the only real way to make in-roads on these kind of problems.
  9. Is revolution off the table?
  10. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/07/721086944/sandra-blands-phone-video-of-her-own-arrest-surfaces-reviving-calls-for-new-inqu It took four years for this video to come out that demonstrates the officer escalated the encounter, and took her to jail for a traffic ticket (where she died FOUR days later); and it came out not from the police or from the prosecutors but from an investigative reporter. If you think there's already plenty of pressure for the police to reveal their own misconduct you're either being willfully blind or obtuse. Then there's this story: https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/us/oklahoma-city-police-shooting-teen/index.html The account of this officer who was cleared of wrong doing after shooting a boy because he had what the officer himself believed to be a cap gun. That's just today's news, and those were headlines. Somehow tomorrow, we'll all forget, and the problem will remain. And really if it takes youtube videos to shame police officers into acting better, and for other police officers to hold them accountable so be it. Because what we are doing now, is not working.
  11. “This Is Do-or-Die”: Joe Biden’s “Electability” Argument Is How Democrats Lose Elections
  12. TNG did have a good finale, and it occurred to me as well, but they were stand alone episodes largely. But DS9 was a lot like the dramas today with arcing season-long narratives.
  13. Six Feet Under had a pretty great finale.
  14. That episode was a bit bleh. Don't they have scouts? (or why travel by sea at all, stand together, they know Euron is out there).Lost another dragon for no reason. Tyrion is an idiot. Dany has lost her capacity to be a leader and it makes little sense (notwithstanding the Gendry moment). I'm souring on the showrunners. I hope they change my mind. (I think the books (haven't read them), if they get written, end up very different from the show.)
  15. Fun story. And welcome to the board.
  16. I think that's what the Judiciary Committee wants, but it's not set in stone. Found this in a reddit thread: "Just to clarify: we are aiming to bring Mueller in on the 15th, but nothing has been agreed to yet. That’s the date the Committee has proposed, and we hope the Special Counsel will agree to it. Sorry for the confusion." Tweeted Rep. David Cicilline Here's a link: https://www.axios.com/robert-mueller-testify-house-judiciary-committee-28f3fba4-2c72-47ad-bbfb-d50437814827.html
  17. Clearly this argument looks better with his non-ERA this year and his 0.77 ERA last year for Houston. We're just guessing when we speculate about the primary factor or whether they believed they could compete in 2019 (given the lack of long-term investments in the FA, and low-risk, short-term-deal approach, my guess there was at least some skepticism).
  18. Or they balance their belief in competing while Pressly is under contract and his likelihood to continue produce against the prospects being offered for him. The latter simply overcame the former.
  19. Bernie Sanders introduces 'rebuild rural America' proposals Smart. Glad to see some policy from Bernie.
  20. Not all cops are bad, but they do work hard as a group to protect even the bad ones, it's ridiculous. Their loyalty should be to the community not each other.
  21. Reread my post. I say the opposite of this.
  22. I'm psyched though that he's a pretty bad ass fighter now.
