It was a real poor attempt at sarcasm/satire.  I fully understand that she was trying to be funny but I think it was just stupid.   And it adds zero value to the discussion but only adds to the divisiveness.  Of course I do realize that many on here enjoy the divisiveness and like to see fuel added to the fire.  Personally I am sick of it.
Your equivocation of what is happening on the left with what is perceived to be happening on the right is getting tiring. There is no comparison, and I’ve been voting for 40 years. The left is unhinged, and dangerous.  The projection from the left onto the right is without shame or precedent.

I saw a BBC commercial tonight on a show comparison between Trump and Obama. It showed a blue-haired millennial saying that Trump was homophobic and racist. Show me one instance of either. In the mean time, a black celebrity that has conservative leanings is called an Uncle Tom by the left, and the Log Cabin Republicans are called traitors to the flamboyant LGBT community.

I agree with most of this.

In 1968 the average length of an MLB game was 2:33.  It was within 5 minutes of that for decades before and since. Now 50 years later it’s over 3:00 and not reversing trend.

Here’s a good table:  https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/misc.shtml


I’ve said it here before, but I think the batter stepping out of the batters box adjusting everything and building his social media picture time is a root cause of the problem. The specialized reliever is another part of the problem.

In addition to the good solutions above about the relievers, if the batter steps out of the bb willingly (not a brush back pitch or anything), it’s a called strike. It’s a box for a reason, people. Use it as such.

Unlimited timeouts is another problem. In the rare event someone makes it on base, they don’t get a timeout to remove more body armor than worn by our soldiers, handing it off to a 1st base or 3rd base coach. STAN’S RULE:  what you wear in the batters box you wear on the base paths. And no time outs for dusting off your skirt if you slide into a base.

I’m not sure how any of you can be so certain this was not someone on the right.  Both left and right have deranged folks on their side.  And to say that the right isn’t violent is simply not true.  Neo nazis, KKK, abortion clinic bombers, abortion provider killers, thugs who beat up gays, etc. are all examples of people on the right who are and have been violent.  Do they represent a mere fraction of folks on the right? Absolutely!  But it’s the same with the loonies on the left.
We know with certainty that these are coming from the left. It has all the tell-tale signs of Democrats and their operatives. The prime indicator is that none of them actually work.

I have a Stihl chainsaw and a Stihl brush cutter and they both went TU this fall. These POS machines couldn’t even make it to 25 years. I bought them both in 1994. Stihl simply doesn’t make some engine and other parts any more.

Of course I kid. These are the most reliable tools I’ve ever owned. Bulletproof. They survived ethanol-infused fuel, and heavy usage.

I’m replacing them both with Stihl products.

The overwhelming thrill to see Hillary become the George McGovern of the 21st century is almost too much fun to bear.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hillary is considering running again.  It's been her lifelong dream.  But that's a far cry from winning, or having the Democrat party go for it. On the other hand, maybe she still has enough supporters to maneuver her way into winning a primary and maybe the Democrats are too stupid to learn from 2016.

With all the walkaways, and an incumbent's chances of winning a second term if the economy is doing well, I would think she wouldn't stand a chance.  It's a fantasy of hers she can't give up. She has no other legacy. She HAS to be first woman President or all the sleazy manipulations she's done all her life will amount to nothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if she considers running every four years for the rest of her life.  What's the alternative? What else is she gonna do? Does she have a happy private life to retire to? I think not.

If she runs I think the electoral map on Election Day would look a lot like 1984, except with maybe CA and NY going blue.

This is absolutely true. The parallels are uncanny. This is how you take over an unwilling populous. You spread lies and propaganda and if that doesn't work you resort to violence. For them to win though, they'll need to disarm the people and I don't see that happening.

I'm surprised there hasn't already been an assassination attempt on Trump, maybe the Pence factor is preventing it.
I’m also surprised that they haven’t picked on the wrong person willing to defend himself with a firearm - yet. Read about Reginald Denny, who during the LA riots was pulled from his dump truck and nearly beaten to death, with several hood rats slamming his skull with bricks, and attacking him with a claw hammer. His skull was broken in 91 places.  He has permanent brain damage. He lost a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.

Don’t tell me that Antifa of BLM mobs are incapable of the exact same brutality.  Trust me, if I get stopped and feel my life is at risk, my vehicle is going to be moving, regardless of who or what is in front of me. If I’m on foot and get attacked by a mob, I’m not going down without defending my life by whatever means necessary.

The “BIG LIE” of this season is the liberal attack against virtually every GOP candidate for ANY state or local office saying that “John Doe (R) supports/has voted for/will vote for elimination of the protection for pre-existing conditions.” 

Every GOP vote to get rid of the ACA retains the protection of ore-existing conditions.

Of course that doesn’t matter to the ignorant masses.

Don’t tell Steingar. He’ll just laugh at you and say voter fraud doesn’t exist, and use the minimal number of prosecutions as his “proof.”

Well, my ban on POA was lifted today and I was finally able to read the message that the mods sent me regarding my ban and the statement below is what got me banned.

"I just find the whole thing bizarre. Her claiming she is part Native American to gain personal and political advantage and Trump calling her Pocahontas in a derisively bigoted manner. I just don’t get it. And it has nothing to do with either one’s political affiliation."

And here is the rule they say I violated.

"Political/Religious discussions are prohibited. This includes any language or discussion deemed to be political or politically charged in nature as well as any religious speech or text. This language is exceedingly destructive to the cohesion of the community and as such will not be tolerated."

So I guess saying that two politicians ,one from each side, are being stupid is deemed as being political.  And here I thought I was being nonpartisan.
Given the number of POA refugees here at PS, I’m thinking their “cohesion of the community” seems to becoming unglued.

I think that is a different type of Indian.

My sister bought a nice house in a nice subdivision just north of Atlanta about 25 years ago.  The subdivision has seen a subsequent shift to predominately Indian, and they were concerned about property values.  They recently retired and sold their house.  They were amazed when the realtor recommended a listing price of almost double what they expected.  They were further amazed when the next day there was a bidding war going on and they got about $35k more than they listed for.

Then they moved to Panama City, just across the bay from Tyndall AFB, about a month before Michael hit them.  What goes around comes around. Or "Karma" or some such BS.
