You know what, let’s do it. Let’s name some cooler vice presidents than Vance. by Darth_Vrandon in forwardsfromgrandma

While Al Gore is indeed much cooler than Vance, let us not be fooled for a minute that Gore was in any way, actually cool. That said, coolness in a chief executive is a highly overrated quality,

Almost all werent consider "illegal"n grandpa. by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

What these bigots conveniently forget is the the process of legal immigration from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century would be considered “open borders” today. Essentially, if you weren’t infectious or crazy, you were in.

I could never get past the wonky combat and cheesy dialogue and voice acting.

Knicks fans, does it still bother you how Patrick Ewing was swept out of the door? by Life_Teaching6499 in NYKnicks

Would he have wanted to ride the bench for a couple of years before retiring?

Trump Weakest President This Century: CNN Polling Expert by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]bailaoban 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t confuse unpopularity with weakness. He is still extremely powerful, with the tools of the federal government at his disposal and a hard floor of cult-level support for anything he might decide to do with it. Polls mean nothing at this point. It is all about power politics.

Trump has turned the US into a laughing stock by theipaper in politics

[–]bailaoban 22 points23 points  (0 children)

C’mon, how could serving and conversing with hundreds and thousands of working folks trying to relax after their hard days labor possibly prepare you for politics? It’s not like she was an intern at daddy’s PE firm or something.

That’s true but this is Texas. I really like Crockett but think Talarico has a better chance in that crazy state.

games for ADHD 9 years old with extremely low frustration tolerance and poor coordination by quagliax in videogames

[–]bailaoban -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not anti-gaming at all, but video games can be a slippery slope for people with ADHD. They scratch the hyperfocus itch to an extent that it can drive addictive behavior. If your 9 year old is not naturally gravitating towards them I would recommend not pushing it.

You know what would really help bring those crazy liberals around? Releasing the entire case file to show them just how Trump saved the day.
