Unfortunately, there are at least 3 of us here. The only silver lining for me is that I'm heading to London in April and this run is keeping ticket prices for the Brighton match at rock bottom prices. It seems ludicrous to suggest after only 4 matches -- but they probably should let Tudor go...

I'm willing to hear you out for sure. Can you quickly summarize the course of action you'd be in favor of? You say we should be facilitating a revolution. From where we stand today, in 3 or 4 sentences describe what you think Trump should do next. The tweets of new explosions and gas hikes will...

You just confused me, is all, when you misspoke. I haven't read the entire thread so I guess I missed the horse beating portion. You said we're at war but only Congress can declare war. So we're not actually at war. Carry on.

Maybe haul Hillary back in to depose her on when exactly she knew Iran was building nuclear capabilities

Whether or not the OT is historically accurate is a completely different argument. You're trying to shift the goal posts from theology to archeology. Back to the point, the NT authors treat the OT as authoritative scripture. Over and over in the NT Jesus is depicted as upholding the scripture...

You're not the first Christian that has wanted to distance themselves from the god of the OT.

The notion that there even will be something called the Second Coming of Christ is also unbelievably, laughably, hysterically unjustified. But that's a separate thread.

FIFA is ready to announce the winner of the FIFA War Prize

Anyone who might try to make a recommendation will probably need to know how complicated your taxes are. How many different sources of income? How many different types of deductions? Any big changes last year? etc. Not saying you need to share all of that here but it would be helpful to have a...

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled potato, for those old enough?

Could be some overlap between population-level behavior dynamics and political systems. Shortly after you have one of the world's most infamous cheats, womanizer, wanna-be playboys convince the party of "conservative ideals" that this man was their savior. I wouldn't be surprised if some Harvard...

We are not

Jones and Adam spent a good bit of time talking about whether or not it was the latest at the top of their Rapid Reactions show. They said they had been discussing it between the two of them. It wasn't obvious to them so I thought it was an interesting anecdote to acknowledge about the rivalry. 🤷‍♂️
