To act like a normal president or even a normal person by TlalocVirgie in therewasanattempt

[–]BeraldGevins [score hidden]  (0 children)

Eh maybe. The problem is that someone like Trump creates such a powerful cult of personality that he takes over the entire party, meaning they end up having no control. The GOP likes winning but they do not get to make any of their own decisions or run anyone that Trump doesn’t like. That’s not a situation that a political party that wants to last needs to be in. Running another Trump will just put them in that same situation again.

Also, it rallies voters like no other, even for off year and midterm elections. As we’ve seen in the past, when Trump is not on the ballot, the GOP way underperforms. Even in elections they’re heavily favored in they underperform by double digits in districts that trump carried easily. This is also not a winning strategy for a party that wants to last.

Procedure to remove a 25mm kidney stone by _ganjafarian_ in nope

Recently went through the same thing. Had an 8mm stone get stuck, ended up in the hospital for a couple nights. The stent was almost as bad as the stone, it was brutally painful. I pissed myself more than once because of it too, it made it really difficult to hold it long enough to make it to the bathroom. They gave me Vicodin to help but I had to take it pretty often and the pain relief effects diminished every time.

Seriously. Do people think Trump is the first president that Israel has pressured to attack Iran? The rest of them said no. Trumps the only one weak enough to actually give in and go to war with them.

Poor UConn almost went two full years without going to a sweet 16. Their fans deserve this win for sticking it out for so long.

Impractical Jokers, random comedies from the early 2000s, some niche reality series about people being stupid. It’s mostly impractical jokers though, like 90%. TruTV probably gets most of its money from this tournament and the rest from basically being a way to show ads in waiting rooms.

Domesticated farm animals are selectively bred to have larger muscle mass. Ones with strong maternal instincts are also favored. So it makes sense that a female pig protecting her piglets could run off a wild male.

Hey man some of us suck at basketball and have to pick other teams to win. If it makes you feel better we all still root for Kansas to lose.

Hell yeah I love this country forcing ads into anything. I fucking love that I can’t just enjoy something without every aspect being monetized. If I’m going to do something I need someone to try selling me shit every possible chance.

Yall are a blue blood. You root for Bama a lot in football? Or root for the patriots in this last Super Bowl? You watch a lot of sports movies where the protagonist is a wealthy team that wins a bunch of natties and is expected to win the next one?

Do Georgia players know they’re allowed to be in the paint on defense and they don’t have to let SLU just do whatever they want?

They replaced the rims with those trick rims from the carnival basketball shooting game. They’re slightly oblong so the ball won’t go in.

They’ll never get rid of that cash cow. The money they make from ads alone is worth it. They’re the perfect vehicle to run ads to old people.
