  1. At 1475. Was going to bet on Flyers, but didn't remember until the game started. 2 units on the Wild. At least if I bet on the opponent and the Sabres win it's better than the other way around.
  2. Is it Thyme for a coaching change? Anise to see more games. The penalty kill is still Saffron, but the power play finally Peppered them.
  3. The polls are rigged, believe me. The lyin' media are trying to make it seem closer so they keep their ratings up. I'm just sayin'. Make Polls Great Again.
  4. What she's doing is tieing the Republican congressional candidates to Trump. The calculation is that if they say they support Trump that upsets non-Trump Repubs, and if they say they don't support Trump it upsets Trump supporters; either way upsetting some Repubs and causing the Repub to lose votes.
  5. You usually don't take your starting QB out of the game when losing with 2 minutes left. Unless the thought is if he's on the sideline he won't have another fumble.
  6. Today Pence is in Utah and Trump is at his hotel in DC. It shows where their concerns are.
  7. Won, up to 1475.
  8. I follow the news, just not Breitbart news. It's already been a port, Syria has been a surrogate for decades, and any ships they move weakens their northern fleet. The US and NATO allies still maintains a numerical naval superiority in the region. If you think it's a big deal, what would you like to do to stop it? Set up a blockade? Bomb the port?
  9. Since she said it was consensual and didn't say she was influenced by his position, which she could have said, you're stretching to justify your incorrect labelling.
  10. Trump speaking, says on day one he's going to remove environmental regulations and let the energy companies have free reign, and transfer funds away from climate change programs. Wants to lower corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%. Vows to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct.
  11. Of course the MAJOR naval base has been used by the Soviets / Russia since 1971 and consists of two piers and a workshop.
  12. Immigrants illegally in the U.S. collectively contribute nearly $12 billion each year to state and local tax coffers, according to a new report that challenges recent election cycle rhetoric. The study from the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy found that immigrants in the U.S. without legal permission kick in their billions in the form of income, property, sales or excise taxes. There were roughly 11 million immigrants estimated to be in the U.S. illegally as of 2013, according to the report. And each and every state collects at least a few million dollars from tax payments made by such immigrants each year, ranging from Montana's $2.2 million to California's $3.2 billion. The Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy's study found that individuals lacking legal permission to be in the U.S. consistently receive lower wages than their immigrant counterparts who are in the country legally, which inherently limits how much they pay in terms of income taxes. The report estimates the average income of an "undocumented family" is a little more than $30,000, well below the country's median household income of around $54,000, according to the Census Bureau. However, when looking at the share of total income paid in taxes, the institute's report estimates the average tax rate for immigrants in the country illegally is higher than the rate paid by America's top earners. "Undocumented immigrants' nationwide average effective tax rate is an estimated 8 percent," the report said. "To put this in perspective, the top 1 percent of taxpayers pay an average nationwide effective tax rate of just 5.4 percent." http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-03-01/study-undocumented-immigrants-pay-billions-in-taxes
  13. The no-fly zone is not a new idea, Clinton advocated for it when Sec of State before Russian intervention. But Presidrnt Obama, who won the 2008 nomination in large part because of his opposition to the Iraq War and promise to reduce the occupation, was reluctant to commit more forces in the area. She said in the debate that it would require negotiation with Russia to avoid conflict.
  14. Wow, Trump getting nasty at a charity. I didn't think he could go so low. He started out good but killed the atmosphere.
  15. I work for food. Hillary: "I wrote a speech, but I accidentally deleted it from my server. Fortunately Wikileaks was able to recover it in time." BTW, it's on CSPAN 8:50-10pm.
  16. Trump: "With all the problems I've had with women lately, no wonder you guys don't marry."
  17. At 1275, I'll bet 2 units (280) on Canucks.
  18. Clinton and Trump will be together again tonight, one seat apart, at the Al Smith dinner. It's supposed to be a humorous time where the candidates make jokes, but I can't see this going well. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/us/politics/al-smith-dinner-clinton-trump.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/
  19. He's previously said he doesn't like the Clintons because he blames Bill Clinton for not acting faster to intervene in the Bosnian War.
  20. Let's be clear as to who brings the debate down. Trump vs Sanders would be the same. Clinton or Sanders vs Kasich, Bush, etc. would be respectful and on issues.
  21. No game changers, they are who we thought they are. I can't see Trump making up ground. They just solidified their supporters.
  22. I don't know why Assange is avoiding arrest. According to Trump's definition, he's only accused of 'locker room talk'.
  23. I think a better point is to emphasize that Russia through Wikileaks is attempting to influence our elections, and Trump is praising it; "I love Wikileaks!". And of course the fact that there is no proof that her server was hacked. While I would like the debate to be about what their plans are on the future, we know much of it will be about the past; misogyny vs emails. If that's the case I would hope that a couple of questions that weren't brought up in previous debates would be about Trump U and Trump's company violating the Cuban embargo.
  24. He would say his server contains his tax returns, and of course yadda yadda under audit...
