Thanks for the tautology…

Starts July 26… Probably won’t watch much, maybe some hoops (not the men) and field hockey…

Yeah I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but I know that I thought that there would be a lot more about the bomb and Trinity, not after the war with his clearance…

Just finished watching this…. Took me two days to get through it…. The scenes that dealt with the bombs were cool, but the back story was blah IMO…. Though mostly true back story it felt like the back story of Titanic to me…. Could have cut about half of it in both cases…. It was decent but I am glad I didn’t see this in a theater…

Jimmy Carter?

I am not a fan of his politics, but I am very excited that he finally decided (probably with family help) to not run in November…. He really needs to enjoy the rest of his time left on this planet and running the country for four more years (if he won) just wouldn’t do it… Hopefully he will be able to enjoy it and not go in to any more decline…

Did it count for two home runs?

I wasn’t watching the game, but I was hoping that South Sudan would win as well…. I always want the men’s team to not win gold…. I know other countries send professionals but I still liked when the US sent their college kids…

Sweet…. I have never been a fan of the events where a judge determines your score….

I have no idea what kind of politician she is but if she does win I am hoping that she is competent enough to run the country…

Rest in peace and thank you for your service…

Must be nice to be able to fork out $3200 in bets… Props to @The Real timschochet in paying off debts and not being a welcher or crybaby like others have been in the past…

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/mar/8/house-votes-favor-illegal-immigrant-voting/ House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice. The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting. “We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in,” Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure. The 228-197 vote came as part of a broader debate on Democrats’ major legislative priority this year, HR 1, the “For the People Act,” which includes historic expansions of voter registration and access, as well as a major rewrite of campaign finance laws. The measure would have had no practical effect even if it had passed. Illegal immigrants — and indeed noncitizens as a whole — are not legally able to participate in federal elections. But Republicans had hoped to send a message to localities such as San Francisco, where noncitizens are now allowed to vote in school board elections. “It sounds like I’m making it up. What kind of government would cancel the vote of its own citizens, and replace it with noncitizens?” said Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican. He pointed to last year’s vote, when 49 Democrats joined the GOP to decry noncitizen voting. On Friday just six Democrats voted in favor. A 1996 federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but there is no prohibition on localities, and indeed a number of jurisdictions allow it, to some extent. Famously liberal Takoma Park, a small jurisdiction in Maryland, has for several decades allowed noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in local elections. Experts say as many as 40 states or territories allowed noncitizen voting dating back to the nation’s founding. San Francisco in July began allowing noncitizens to vote in school board elections — though they must be parents or legal guardians of students.

It is not just that...

This is pretty much the case... Even though it has nothing to do with politics, it would enter into each thread somehow...

This is definitely true... They are beginning to click for sure... And you are correct, they do need at least one more pure shooter...

RIP Professor Proton... One of the best of all time...

One for the books in her last game before the break, though they did lose to the worst team in the league... 24 points and a WNBA record 19 assists... Becoming the second player in league history with at least 20 points and 15 assists in a game... Her scoring or assisting on 66 points also is a WNBA record (broke the record of 65)... Also, 26 games into the season (14 games left), Clark has scored or assisted on 915 points, a rookie single-season record. Her 213 assists on the season are the second most by a rookie in league history and are approaching Ticha Penicheiro's record of 225.

Before others weigh in with the same thought...

Maybe you should asker her on the moon...

Good for the WNBA... Of course, I would think a huge majority is because of Caitlin Clark... I wonder how she will be treated on the court now?

More crappy rule change suggestions from Manfred... I wish he would just leave the game alone...
