You mean this fucking bullshit from FoxNews http://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-video-trump-obama-north-korea-848618

Live From Here (formally known as Prairie Home Companion), hosted by Chris Thile (Nickle Creek, Punch Brothers, Goat Rodeo), recorded a live taping of their show Saturday at the Raivinia Fest in the Northern suburbs of Chicago. If you are not familiar with the show he and his band perform a instant song request, where he will pick a song suggested by twitter (a song, which they have never performed before). This week he did a cover of I am Trying to Break Your Heart. He also had some nice words to say about the YHF and the boys in the intro to the song. Here is a link to the whole show,

Working in the financial services industry (my company provides software for banks) the time right before the financial crisis was awesome. Banks were spending money hand over fist and when the crisis hit man did it suck. So I guess I hope the banks rolling in it lasts for another 25 years until I retire.

I have given up caring. At this point I guess we should all expect to lose a friend or love one to gun violence. Fuck it.

Anyone else see the benches clearing "situation" in last night's Marlins v Cubs game? https://www.mlb.com/cut4/kris-bryant-tickles-starlin-castro-during-dispute/c-275893980 Hilarious that it end up with Kris Bryant tickling Starlin Castro.

I didn't think the impetus to pulling out of the deal was Iran's non compliance. I understood that it was that Trump thought it was a bad deal. Really in all likelihood it was because it was something Obama did and honestly his sole purpose as president is to undo every single thing Obama did.

The only reason Kim is sitting down with POTUS and S. Korea for nuclear talks is because his test site has collapsed and is unusable. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/26/north-korea-nuclear-test-site-collapse-may-be-out-of-action-china He is playing into the vanity of POTUS and trying to get a lot for really nothing. If the site was still usable there would be no way he would sit down for talks.

I think the MAGA crowd probably think it is great. You know cause it is the worst deal in history of all deals. Our foreign policy is a joke. We do not have people in key positions around the world, we have a President that consistently contradicts his foreign policy advisers, we have a President who will simply tear up an agreement rather than try to renegotiate. Why would any country sign any type of agreement with the US? All this and we have top level advisers saying the best thing for Iran is a war. Well, we humans had a pretty good 200,000 years. At least I get to say I g

This should point out that not all mass shootings occur at schools ( probably most don't). So doing things like "fortifying" schools or arming teachers are just a false cry and will do nothing to prevent things like this.

I wonder if the Red Sox weren't taking a sub 500 team seriously and were returning to the beer, chicken and video game days.

Thank you Captain Obvious. It was more a question of disbelief. I think they are at the top or near the top every offensive category and the hottest team in baseball. It seems odd that a big drop would happen. Though I doubt it will last long, this is just a slight bump in what looks like a great season for the Red Sox

How did they get no hit yesterday?

It amazes me the mental gymnastics that Hannity and his supporters are going through to explain his relationship with Cohen. This is what I have heard so far: Hannity is not a client, but yet had the Cohen on retainer. So even he is not a client, his communications with Cohen are subject to Attorney Client Privilege. So the biggest question I have right now, if Hannity's claim is true, why would Cohen perjure himself in federal court and say that Hannity was indeed his client? This certainly does no good for Hannity or POTUS, who as we know is the biggest cheerleader for the Administ

I always tend to vacillate between thinking the President is playing a long game manipulating the American people to further enrich himself and his friends at the expense of the American people, to the fact he is an illiterate moron. The more and more I watch what this guys does I believe the latter. He has no sense of history, he probably doesn't even know that GWB used that exact same phrase. He probably thought the words sounded good and forceful.

This attack will probably be about as effective as the one we did last year. I guess it is away we get to mark the coming of Spring in the Trump Administration. What honestly I think is most troubling here, is the fact that President is mired in so many scandals we really don't know if this is a wag the dog situation. This past week had Paul Ryan quit, Michael Cohen stuff, the story about the National Enquirer paying Trump's doorman, more Stormy stuff and Comey's book. Support him or not and regardless if you think these things are made up (or overblown by the MSM) you have to look at n

I believe it was a targeted attack of a chemical weapons factory, thus hampering the production of these types of weapons. Of course the Syrian government says it was a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

Bombs away in Syria. While I don't necessarily disagree with the decision, I don't POTUS is capable or has a team around him capable enough to deal with the aftermath.

The huge irony in Ryan's reasoning for retiring is that he spent his whole poltical career (and moral philosophy) slashing social programs so people have to work more and spend less time with their children. In essence, he is fleeing a sinking ship. I honestly think he is fed up with POTUS and his insanity and just wants to GTFO before he caught up in POTUS mess. Cause when POTUS falls it won't be just him that falls, there will be a wide net cast.

This raid will result in the firing of Mueller (among others). Shit is gonna get real interesting.

Bumping this thread up so we can finally kill the 2017 MLB Thread once and for all. Unless Lammy resurrects it again. so, Rizzo is out until 4/16 (or later). Funny I don't seem too worried.

It's not 2017?

Season 2 of Legion premiered last night. Prolly the weirdest/best shows on TV right now.

But when you score 14 with 6 HR you can give up 4 in the first. On the Cubs note (even through they beat the AAA Marlins), should I be worried about Lester and the circus that is Kyle Schwarber in left?
