Anything on Biden’s wet behind the ears son raking in the cash in the Ukraine? Or how about Hildabeast selling the Russians access for $35 million for 20% of the USA uranium resource? Of course not. Not the NYT.

bnwBlockedYeah, I can’t complain, Joe. I count myself as lucky.
WV, no desire to watch the Rams. It’s weird not looking forward to football season. But, in a way, it’s liberating, too. I’m going to have a lot more time on my hands for other pursuits.
Great time of year for other pursuits. However with the GamePass you can watch the game around 7 pm CT or any time later as all games are archived for you. I found it opened my day up big time watching it my way.

bnwBlockedI bought GamePass last season and really liked it. Hooked the lap top to the big TV and it worked great. Had to wait until all the 4 pm starts were over which meant I could start watching by 8 pm ET. You don’t miss any game either as all NFL games are archived and the archive goes back years. Lots of commercials are cut out too which makes it nice to watch. Only thing is you have to avoid hearing about the NFL to not spoil the game which for me being outside during that time of year is very easy. I had my doubts getting it but it has worked out great. I’ll get it again this season.

August 13, 2016 at 3:26 pm in reply to: What would a Trump Presidency Would Be Like? Look to Maine #50770bnwBlockedSometimes I don’t read articles till I post them. To me, this article is superficial and barely scratches the surface.
People said to me, don’t worry about LePage, his ideas are so crazy he won’t be able to implement them.
Well guess again.
He has done incredible harm.
“Incredible harm”? Maine is always ranked high amongst the states for quality of life issues. Perhaps that is why LePage was voted in as governor then re-elected as governor with an even greater plurality?

bnwBlockedGoff went to UC Berkeley for chrissakes. UC Berekeley has a high bar for entry. I was stunned he didn’t know where the sun rises. It was slightly disturbing, really, but I work with young people – high school kids – and it is hilarious what they don’t know at times.
I borrowed HBO Go from a friend, and watched this last night.
I liked it. But there is no WAY I would waste time on this show if it wasn’t the Rams. It isn’t that interesting unless it’s your team.
I smoked a lot of pot in high school. A LOT. But I also read a lot of books, too. Anything I could get my hands on. That’s how I learned to tell the time of day by placing a stick in the dirt. Had to be at least six inches, though. And yes, I knew at a very young age, no matter how stoned I was, in which direction the sun rose.
Kids today. Sheesh.
What most of us don’t realize is that we’re really fucked.

bnwBlockedI enjoyed the episode immensely, as I knew I would as a fan of the show. But for some reason I was very unsettled by Goff not knowing where the sun rises. I can’t imagine Andrew Luck (or even Carson Wentz) not knowing this? Does that strike anyone else as strange?

August 12, 2016 at 3:59 pm in reply to: Rams announce they are going with home whites all season #50702bnwBlockedCowboys always wear whites at home too…
Allows the visiting team to wear their home colors on the road when they visit Dallas and now Los Angeles.
I wonder if this is a Jerry Jones influenced thing to Stan or a Tex Schram thing that influenced Dallas when Tex left the Rams for the Cowboys.
BTW, NERams, when the Rams were considering moving from So Cal to STL, the Rams also considered Hartford and Baltimore. The Baltimore Rams or the Hartford ESPN Rams….had that happened….. do you think St Louis might have ended up with Art Model’s Browns (Ravens)?
Or the Jaguars franchise.

But you can lie to the people while enriching yourself through government service and breaking the law with impunity as president ala Hildabeast?
Again, if these things really bother you — lying and law-breaking — you can’t in good conscience support Trump. He’s spent his entire adult life doing that. Lying, cheating, stealing, breaking the law. And he’s obviously enriched himself a great deal more than the Clintons in the process.
I can understand a principled stance against the Clintons, and the Dems, and the GOP. But to then choose Trump?
That defies all logic.
No not the same. Trump is a capitalist and you view that as cheating and stealing while I don’t. Hildabeast will sell out this nation like Bill did with the Chinese back in the ’90s. It is treason. The Clinton Family business model. No thanks.

August 12, 2016 at 12:08 pm in reply to: Rams announce they are going with home whites all season #50687bnwBlockedYes but NEVER a Super Bowl!
They won a pre-superbowl championship in 1945.
Then again in 1951. Championship. Before the superbowl.
And then they lost one in 1979 (though it was a great game).
Then they won one in 99.
Then they lost one in 2001.
See, to me? Same team, same history. A championship in 3 different cities (Cleveland, LA, St. Louis).
There’s different perspectives. One way to approach that is to announce your perspective several times a day in case no one gets it yet. Another way to approach that is to assume there’s different groups with different perspectives and we all belong to the same community here.
Still not a Super Bowl winner in the all white uni history. Regarding the perspectives I’m firmly in the former until StanK makes amends. JT summed it up well.

August 12, 2016 at 8:23 am in reply to: Bernie Sanders Buys Third House – A Mere $600k “Summer Vacation House”… #50665bnwBlockedUntil Trump’s supporters take Trump to task for not releasing his tax returns, I don’t want to hear their thoughts on other candidate’s private purchases. Sanders was right to throw his support behind Hillary, simply because Donald Trump is not fit to rule this country. You can’t bankrupt yourself out of trouble when you’re President.
But you can lie to the people while enriching yourself through government service and breaking the law with impunity as president ala Hildabeast?

You know actually the Fisher Rams have always been in the top third of the league in throwing long passes…meaning, percentage of attempts that go 31 yards or more.
True but only completing the passes is exciting.
Which they do at a good rate. I did those numbers too.
Sure in garbage time which isn’t exciting. They earned last place for WRs in the NFL.

August 11, 2016 at 10:53 pm in reply to: Bernie Sanders Buys Third House – A Mere $600k “Summer Vacation House”… #50637bnwBlockedAw but that wouldn’t get you three houses at the same time. Especially a $600K summer home. Not one chair at a time.
Well, they managed that over the course of half a century, and she sold her family’s summer home to get this one . . . which is quite modest. Just 1800 square feet. Not exactly a palace. They didn’t buy all three houses at the same time, obviously. It took a lifetime for them to get there.
And, btw, they aren’t capitalists. As far as I know, the Sanders have never been capitalists. See, one of the most immoral things about the capitalist system is it functions to radically limit who can and can’t be capitalists in the first place. It can’t work if it doesn’t do that. The vast majority of Americans aren’t and never will be capitalists. Ironic, isn’t it?
In the alternative I envision, and those like it, we’d just scale up to make sure wages and prices match closely enough so everyone is quite comfortable. That’s something the capitalist system can never do. It wouldn’t be “capitalism” if it focused on the needs of citizens instead of capitalists. If it couldn’t concentrate wealth, income, power, privilege and access at the very top, it wouldn’t be capitalism.
So, in the alternative, the focus is never on a few owners and how to make them rich at everyone else’s expense. The focus is literally on everyone. How do we match wages with prices enough to guarantee the highest quality of life? We’ve already solved the funding problem with the completely separate revenue stream, as mentioned before, so all we need to do is match prices with wages. And when everyone gets the vast majority of their necessities for free, anyway, simply for being citizens, that job is all the easier:
Free cradle to grave education, health care, transportation, access to cultural venues, parks and recs, physical fitness, transport, etc. etc. All free. All the highest quality. Cradle to grave. “Purchases” are in addition to all of that, and that’s where we need to make the match.
Capitalism can’t compete with that alternative when it comes to the well-being and quality of life for at least 95% of the population. It can only offer a better deal for the super-rich, cuz they won’t exist in the alternative.

August 11, 2016 at 9:33 pm in reply to: Bernie Sanders Buys Third House – A Mere $600k “Summer Vacation House”… #50624bnwBlockedNittany,
From wikipedia
“Democratic socialism is distinguished from both the Soviet model of centralized socialism and from social democracy, where “social democracy” refers to support for political democracy, regulation of the capitalist economy, and a welfare state”That’s why all the hysteria about Sanders was so out of place. He was actually pushing FDR, New Deal policies, updated for 2016. They weren’t even Democratic Socialist, a la Michael Harrington. And while he rightfully talked about how well Denmark works for its citizens — far better than our system, and it’s not close — he didn’t even go that far.
My own vision is anticapitalist, and that we need to repeal and replace our current system. And by “capitalism,” I don’t mean “commerce” or “business” or “trade.” Capitalism isn’t synonymous with those things. It’s a unique and unprecedented form of economics. Non-capitalist commerce, trade and business have been around for thousands of years, etc. I’m talking about M-C-M and exchange value, with a capitalist purchasing labor as a commodity, in order to get workers to make commodities for money, which the capitalist then appropriates (exploitation) for himself or herself.
One could easily have a non-capitalist business by avoiding the above. As in, you make your own custom chairs for sale, all by yourself. With your own two hands. You don’t have employees. You sell them yourself. You’re not a capitalist and do not own a capitalist business in that case. You become a capitalist, however, when you hire employees to build those chairs for you and collect the surplus value they generate as if you had done all the work yourself.
You could, of course, grow that business without it ever becoming capitalist if all new chair builders share equally in surplus value, and you didn’t have an employer/employee structure.
A society with nothing but sole proprietors and democratic co-ops would not be “capitalist,” but could produce the same things as a “capitalist” society.
Aw but that wouldn’t get you three houses at the same time. Especially a $600K summer home. Not one chair at a time.
