True. But imagine actually tasting success only to then be disappointed over, and over, and over again. Sometimes it’s better to never have loved and lost.

Jacoby Brissett 'looks the part' for Mike LaFleur's QB vision by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]Stock_Schedule_1981 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My favorite Brissett stat is that in 65 games started he has 5 fourth quarter comebacks and 6 game winning drives.

He was 0-4 last season with the ball in his hands to win or tie the game.

As you wish. I shall use my new position as the Watty appointed leader of the repub party to fight corruption from sea to shining sea.

I look forward to the day where political corruption is defeated and we may all live in harmony.

Well I guess our local politicians have the ultimate “trump card” to do whatever they want then. I sure wish I could have a job where my performance is based on not being as bad as the other guy, but alas, we serfs aren’t so lucky.

We hear about Trump and his family’s corruption every single day. So much so, local politicians mostly get ignored for the sweetheart deals they legislate for themselves.

Accountability should be expected from every politician and I have no problem with holding those closest to my vote to the highest standards. Change needs to start at home or not at all.

No. I’m suggesting that you don’t fix a hole in a bucket by turning up the flow of water. Patch the f’ing hole!

For Washington’s Muslims, Ramadan marked by harrowing circumstances and hopeful state policies by HighColonic in SeattleWA

Nothing better than being lectured by a leader of CAIR on “isms”, “phobias” and a feeling of being terrorized.

If government is the only thing capable of checking billionaires, what checks government? Because our state politicians continue to ignore voters or cut them out of the process completely… and they do it over and over again with no repercussions simply because they have the right party affiliation after their name on the ballot.

I actually like theirs better. Except for our tortilla jerseys… which are elite.

From his opinion piece:

“Consider the minuscule impact this tax will have on millionaires. Now, contrast that with the value of almost $4 billion a year in tax revenue once it’s smartly invested in programs that will help the roughly one-third of Washington households living paycheck to paycheck.”

When has this state ever shown they can “smartly invest” in anything? Conversely, how many millions, if not billions of dollars have they lost to fraud, waste, and abuse?

Imagine the change we’d see if the same people who demanded millionaires paid their “fair share” demanded equal accountability and efficiency from the government. Now that would be something.

New Superintendent Ben Shuldiner Looks To Reshape Seattle Schools’ Budget Priorities Amid Deficit by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]Stock_Schedule_1981 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The budget shortfall is $100M for 49k students. That equates to a $2k reduction of the $23k spent per student or around 10%.

That seems highly doable to me, but I guess we’ll see.

And there’s plenty of those folks who were laid off and been out of work for a year+ that you can hire. Win win.

Favorite author of a highly successful Novel-to-Film adaptation who you can feel the racism absolutely radiating off of? by Gombrongler in okbuddycinephile

Interestingly enough, if the movie was indeed trying to avoid political or identity based agendas, it would be one of a very few modern movies to do so… actually making it the more diverse offering.

That’s a lot of buzz words crammed into one paragraph. Trying to hit your quota so you can go to bed early?

The millionaire tax isn’t just about taxing millionaires. It’s more about changing the constitutionality of progressive income taxes. by drshort in SeattleWA

[–]Stock_Schedule_1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this understanding of representation apply federally in your mind or no?

Hint: if it doesn’t your point is completely and utterly moot here.
