  1. It's not like Trump started with nothing, so that's a pretty silly comparison.
  2. Yes yes, your guy is the greatest, the other guy is the devil. Facts are unimportant. http://www.snopes.com/obama-deported-more-people/
  3. This wall stuff is crazy. Everyone is ok with us dropping a couple billion dollars on a massive construction project that will have a questionable impact on illegal immigration? It's also weird that people ignore the fact that Obama extended the wall and deported more people than Bush. Both sides seem to ignore that.
  4. As long as they cement in a bunch of the workers, I think the comparison works.
  5. Garlic capital of the world?
  6. No, it's not a fact: http://www.snopes.com/obama-encouraged-illegal-aliens-to-vote/ Why u lie?
  7. WoD and Volo are posting some crazy stuff about California voting, which are part of the alternative facts machine: http://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2016/nov/28/donald-trump/pants-fire-trumps-claim-about-california-voter-fra/ But hey, keep spouting stupid stuff about California. Morans.
  8. Except point 3 makes it clear that good Republican leadership is very capable of turning those immigrants into Republican votes.
  9. Has that been a trend? The only one I saw was the SNL writer who has suspended indefinitely for tweeting a negative comment about the son.
  10. Aziz Ansari had a pretty good monologue. The rest of the show was rough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9PpuYTgNQ4
  11. Might need to re-watch the original:
  12. Time to revive this thread. Patrick Marleau scored 4 goals in the 3rd period the other night, and is just a couple away from the 500 mark. He's taken a fair bit of criticism over his career, but I've always loved to watch him play and hope he stays with the Sharks until he retires. He is also nearing 100 game-winning goals, which is crazy. He doesn't have the award hardware you'd expect given his numbers, but the guy has just been a consistently good player for nearing 2 decades. I'm hoping him and Thornton get another run at the Cup to top it off.
  13. Nope.
  14. Obviously that is a problem, but 229 votes over the last decade is almost infinitesimal when it comes to the number of people voting overall.
  15. Police Quest was where it was at!
  16. In a perfect world, sure. But as much as I like the Libertarian idea of minding my own business, I'm not sure that cutting off all international aid is in the best interests of the future.
  17. Thanks for those alternative facts.
  18. Hah, Elizabeth Banks is in that new Power Rangers, awesome.
  19. That could also be you getting better at the game. Enemy Within gives you more options to be successful, but you can still get thrashed without good tactics.
  20. Wait, according to gfted1's link, there is already a ban on using the US funds for abortion, and it has been in place since 1973. Also Reagan and Bush both enacted the same policy, so he isn't exactly setting a trend.
  21. I seems so! Its shocking to me that we piss away funds making sure women in other countries can get abortions. We could be using that money to train bums in a vocation or something but instead we concern ourselves minutiae of other countries breeding. Much like Planned Parenthood, characterizing these clinics simply by the fact they offer abortions is usually a gross misrepresentation. It would also be my guess that these are parts of the world where women struggle to get access to decent healthcare, and this funding is part of an attempt to help women across the globe. That being said, I have no issue with the US pulling back on funding other countries while we try to strengthen our own health care systems that sorely need it. I have a big problem with us making it about abortion and turning it into political, though.
  22. Anyone remember that guy that used to spam the Funny Things thread with anime that no one understood? Trashman, I think it was. Although I do like the outgoing President and First Lady laughing it up. I'm pretty sure President is the crappiest job in the country and it has to be a huge relief to be done.
  23. A new episode on a school night? I went over my trip to Ensenada, there was some interesting craft beer happenings in Mexico.
  24. I watched a chunk of the inauguration 5 times today with students. It wasnt until the 3rd viewing that I really got a grip on it. I think it was supposed to be a hopeful speech meant to unite, but the body language and moments of tone change really made it sound more combative. There is an entire part about how we will not force other countries to live lile us, but rather set a great example. That is a great part, but it was overshadowed by rhetoric on ISIS. :/
  25. I loved Enemy Within.
