Why travel ban North Korea? No one can leave that country to come here anyway.

If it were just a piece of cloth, then the anthem is just a song, and kneeling for it has no meaning. I'm not cynical enough to believe that the NFL players are "just kneeling for a song."

It is just a song. It was just a song till like the '30's and even then that was after more than a decade of Congress saying "lol nope". The only reason it had any popularity is because it was played every July 4th and at military events and poo poo as sort of our own version of a Post Horn Gallop. Kind of like how every July 4th now we play the 1812 Overture. Why kneeling during it means something is because the people they're protesting think that song and that cloth are the living soul of "Murica

That novel has already been written. It's called "The Turner Diaries". It's basically Catcher In the Rye for angry white supremacists.

I've read The Turner Diaries!! It was in the first law school class I ever had, by the coolest teacher I ever had too. He wanted it to hit us really hard, and carry us right into his first lecture, 'Why Law: The Persistent Desire for Law's Vanishing'. Mind-blowing stuff.

So yeah this novel has an undeservedly big space in my memory :hfive: and I'm stealing your phrase to share with friends from that class.

In my opinion, it is worse than that. I grew up in an abusive home and volunteer with abuse victims and Melania has the same "my spouse is an abusive rear end in a top hat please help me" look in her eyes. He may not be hitting her, but I would bet that with his narcissism he emotionally abuses her and belittles her until she feels invisible. I think Melania genuinely hates him, and I'm waiting for the tell all.

He did (or someone made him) for the joint address to Congress, and it made him look younger and way less fat. That's the only time I've ever seen him in a suit that fits. Which is just... A crime against style given that he's wearing $6000 Brioni suits most of the time. I guess for him it's all about how much they cost and not whether they actually look good.

I haven't heard anything about it leaking into college ball. It'd be harder for players to do it without repercussion, since unlike NFL players they aren't represented by a union and college coaches have much more latitude for dismissing or punishing players for arbitrary reasons. It'd take entire teams worth of players standing up and doing it, which isn't out of the question since the NFL managed it with quite a few teams.

I don't get how it's just so easy for people like him, and Mooch, and Spicer, and Gorka, and all of them to whip out a riposte like that that forces the questioner onto their back foot and ends the attack. Like, I know for drat sure that I would not be able to weasel my way out of a situation where someone had me so loving dead to rights on something I was clearly wrong about; but he's able, without the benefit of a working human brain connected to his nervous system, to puke out a line like "You should check your records" and all of a sudden it makes it sound like the questioner is in the wrong AND rude AND ill-informed AND should be ashamed of themselves for even asking it.

Put me on the spot like that and all I'd do is drool. But to these guys it's second nature to just wing it back around on you and make you question your own goddamn sanity; and nobody has a secondary backup question ready to bat it back at him, or any kind of tactic to use in response, because nobody they've ever interviewed operates like these fuckers.

Each of the Koch brothers is about $15 billion wealthier than Steve Ballmer. $48.5 billion apiece versus $33.6 billion. The Waltons are probably the only family in the US who are wealthier than the Koch family.
