North Buffalo

Not sure I should reply to you topic, might be the worst idea I ever had. I am a Clinton loving, despite the zipper problem, DLC loving centrist, a la Sam Nunn... but I am also pro-Union. I want to see balanced budgets, reigned in defense spending and an end to free wheeling money wasting contractors used by the Feds. That being said, I am tired of Nancy Pelosi and the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party and the focus on victim politics. Too much money currently is held in the hands of the few and it needs to be spread out, preferably through Tax incentives to the middle class if that is even an economic group anymore. Small businesses need to be supported more and not through NFIB because they do not support small businesses anymore, if they ever did. I am tired of the Religious Right as well. I am looking for centrists in both parties that I can support with level heads and convictions to lead. So maybe SDS, we can find something in the middle that can work... though in today's climate, I doubt it.

Thank you two for the history linguistic lesson. It has been very interesting! Wow!

They’ve gone in NYC area in last 2-3 weeks based in ER stuff and local news... people get stupid and angry in the heat.

Dahlleeeeen!

Nice driveway....

Because, though it does all the above things except tribalism. I actually think it decreases tribalism, though it still exists within each party. Multi parties would just separate out the tribalism. Part of the reason for the adversarial relationship is the result of the two parties being so close in popularity. When one party dominates, it can build consensus without as much threat from the other party and allow for reaching out to the other side without a threat of losing overall control. Multiparties don't solve your problem however and in many cases exacerbates these issues. Part of the problem right now is technology and the speed at which information is sent out without proper vetting from more sources then ever before. Backroom politics use to provide for compromise.... the backrooms have been exposed and are continuously being exposed by technology and the speed of information for good reasons too... but the loss of them has caused a lot of cover to be blown off the ability to make compromises. This has nothing to do with a two or multi party system though imo.

Comey is not stupid nor incompetent. He however, in my opinion, is a bureaucratic political insider, and was trying to become a kingpin, a la Herbert Hoover. I don't believe half the stuff he shovels. He went after Obama's folks and then tried the same tactics against Trump, all the while stating he wasn't doing anything. He released those HRC documents right before the election. Comey only cares about Comey and Trump was smart to fire him, even if it made him look bad regarding the Russian investigation. You guys are confusing facts with political power struggles. I am still not sure we have heard the entire accurate story of what happened from either Trump or Comey and probably never will.

Yes, P.S. it is YellowLinesandArmadillos

If not no big deal... I have long forgotten the password and think I may have changed the user name on it to something else possibly North Buffalo1, not sure. Yes... trying to downplay the politics stuff unless it is on structure... I no longer am a partisan hack and don't have to be... so the new user name is appropriate.

P.S. the drunks are flowing into the ER tonight... lots of head CT coming up... from folks hitting the pavement... Sorry on TBD I am now North Buffalo as well. If yellowlines can be merged great...

Sorry, on twobillsdrive.com, I was yellowlinesandarmadillos… lol an old political statement by Tom Delay... the only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos.

Those are triceps and biceps, back of the arm triceps, front biceps.... guess you don't work out anymore... ? And yes they look impressive, now if he actually will use them for something.... hockey related that is....

On TBD, I have yellowlinesandarmadillos that was not merged. Now I am the same on both, but if you could, but it may be defunct and that is fine if not...

Willy’s legs quads look bigger though and that may be the problem..

Him and Pekar on a line should be fun to watch and interview after a game..

Nice work Judge, keeping things on task.

You millenials... get with the times

PS I like it

exactly sounds like a Euro hackers name!

JBots gotta come with some for new guys TT 2.0 Tage Thompson Berglund? Savoka?

Pekka.... 6k or UPL Pu .... Poo Girgenson... Girgs Larson.... Larry

copy cat.

any word on Sam?

Im ok with trade one or two of the later rounders for a package deal for young prospects.. but if not draft all three. Still not sure what next year’s draft talent looks like so there is that. If it is a deep draft JBots may have some options which is a good thing imo.

I hear you though in many places where Unions are started there is already an adversarial relationships. Though it is hard to be cookie cutter and like has been said in many pro sports, no matter the family relationship/atmosphere at the end of the day it is still a business relationship and with large companies it is an uneven one unless you are near the top of the totem pole or have a rare specialty skill in demand that allows you to switch companies if you need to. In my business there is a fair amount of turnover because it is not for everyone and there is a burnout factor so demand is relatively stable. For a while there were hospital based programs who recieved a medicare bonus for providing training, however that ended a few years back and supply has dropped as result making my skills more valuable. Having a good working environment was not a choice. Found a good one luckily as I got started luckily, but checked out a few that were not and they were in non union shops, hence my bias.
