  1. RJ was there calling the game on MSG. This game was too quiet. Without DLo nobody is stepping up and playing physical. They really need to get Kaleta back. Schaller offers nothing different than the other bottom six forwards. More of the same isn't working.
  2. Tries to pick up women in bars by wearing a Patrick Kane jersey.
  3. Buried his previous clones A, B, and C in a swamp.
  4. We could save a lot of time if you do a simple Google search before posting. Republicans filibustered hundreds of bills when the Democrats had a majority in the Senate. If the Republicans would block bills for vision care for children or helping homeless veterans, imagine what they would have done if a bill on gun control or immigration was brought up. Should they have wasted their time trying to get a vote on a bill that would never be allowed, or do as the Republicans and repeatedly attempt to defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, when they have no chance of passing. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/9/16/1132504/-Why-is-the-Republican-Record-Breaking-use-of-the-Filibuster-Not-a-topic-of-the-News http://crooksandliars.com/jon-perr/republicans-unprecedented-obstructionism-by-numbers http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/the-rise-of-cloture-how-gop-filibuster-threats-have-changed-the-senate http://newsjunkiepost.com/2010/03/02/republican-obstruction-at-work-record-number-of-filibusters/ http://factleft.com/2012/01/31/the-myth-of-democratic-super-majority/

  6. But you made a point to question the Dems in Congress. And an executive order can be overturned by the next president, so it's not moot.
  7. The Dems did not have a filibuster proof majority. So the Repubs prevented legislation from coming to a vote.
  8. Schaller isn't the right replacement for DLo. They need someone who's going to get under the other team's skin; Kaleta.

  10. One goal was Johnson's fault mishandling the puck behind the net, one was McCabe leaving the slot open by going towards the corner Bogo was already in. But the other two were Bogo not getting his stick under the guys in the slot sticks. All the goals were preventable with proper technique.
  11. I wonder how many people actually went to the game.
  12. You don't think it's a partisan maneuver like the over 50 previous attempts to repeal by the Republicans, knowing that Obama would never agree to it?
  13. @SpeakerRyan NEXT WEEK → for the first time ever, Congress will send the president a bill repealing #Obamacare. The new Speaker doing the priority work for us. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
  14. I have to use TuneIn to listen to WGR so I get stuck hearing Flo from Progressive every 15 minutes. I liked the Mighty Taco commercials.
  15. If I knew that I would have given him a better review. "Republicans want smaller government for the same reason crooks want fewer cops; it's easier to get away with murder." - James Carville
  16. Haven't heard from Carville in awhile. Very astute political operative, though often very blunt, sometimes over the top. Never figured out how he and Mary Matalin ended up married given their opposite political views, but I guess it shows that politics is just another business.
  17. Trump supporters are attracted to the style over substance. They have a visceral quick fix mentality without thinking out the consequences of Trump's general solutions that are without details. Examples are rounding up all illegal aliens, preventing all Muslims from entering the country, and bombing the sh@t out of oil fields. Trump's message is appealing to xenophobic mostly blue collar white heterosexuals who "want their county back" from the people who aren't like them.
  18. Don't do it, Eastside! @realDonaldTrump Strange, but I see wacko Bernie Sanders allies coming over to me because I'm lowering taxes, while he will double & triple them, a disaster!
  19. It's unfortunate when these stories come out before there are formal charges. Even if found untrue, it labels the person with suspicion for the rest of their life.
  20. 53 Con 47 Lib. It fits my moderate views.
  21. Hopefully Eichel can be to the Bruins what Gronk is to the Bills. Local guy burning his hometown team.
  22. You have a child with severe health issues, it shouldn't bust your budget doing the right thing and providing for them. The flat tax sounds fair but is in fact regressive for those who make less, as sales taxes and fees to make up the difference would disproportionately take up a larger percentage of the middle and lower class incomes.
  23. Yours is the type of situation where I gladly pay taxes to relieve your additional costs. In fact I would be for paying for all your health care expenses that most of us don't have. If only we could get a Congress that would put compassion first.
  24. Well I tried having a rational discussion, but you have become obsessed with this Berner movement conspiracy theory that everything BUT Bernie are to blame for his inability to gain support nationally. If you're like this now, I can image what you'll be like when Bernie eventually concedes and endorses Hillary.
