There's nothing wrong with tax cuts if those cuts will bring in revenue to make up the loss.  So far though it sounds like that's all they're banking on and I think even some of the members of the GOP aren't going to support that, or so I hope.  They had faux news on at the gym and the lady they were interviewing said nothing being discussed yet is addressing long term issues like the growing interest on the debt, SS and medicare.  I'm not going to get my hopes up considering whatever Trump wants to propose he will while touting it as the greatest tax plan ever but only time will tell.    

I believe it but it still trips me out.  I could nerd out and reminisce for days but as I've mentioned before in other threads I played TFC a lot starting about a month after it came out and eventually played CS for about 6 months when it first came out.  The tournaments back then were more grass roots style while the tables, LAN and so on were set up in part by the players.  Now you've got guys sitting up in front of a big audience playing while they wear or use sponsor gear and it's streamed online.  I guess it's my 'back in my day' moment now that I'm getting old and trip out on the fact that something I wasted so much time on as a kid turned into a big money maker for some.  Especially when one of those games is CS which has been around in some form for almost 17 years now. 

I still remember when I first saw you use this probably like 5+ years ago. I totally stole it and have used it.

This is gayer than 7 guys having sex with 9 guys.

Some months back I was watching some of the CS tourney they had on TNT or TBS and some of the commercials they had where these chubby pasty European dudes trying to peddle headphones and other gear.  More power to them but it was amusing seeing them stand there like they were Lebron James with their arms folded across their chest trying to look intimidating.   

It's a traffic jam, when you're already late.

Based on WAR he's been one of the Angels best players (if not the best) behind Trout from 2014-2016.  He's also been one of the players who is more enjoyable to watch.

Trade Kole who is 4 years younger and owed 19M total the next 2 seasons with a 14M option in 2020 for Braun who is owed 56M through 2020 with a 4M buyout in 2021 if his 15M option isn't picked up?  No thanks.  That swap gets us an older player who has been suspended for steroids in his career while being owed more money and it doesn't make the Angels contenders rather it takes away some payroll flexibility in the future.

This is one of those situations that trips me out because a few people made the call that led to the situation escalating.  That small group of people are responsible for a major backlash against the airline, the stock price falling, jobs likely being lost by people who had nothing to do with it and the list goes on.  If the CEO didn't double down like an asshole I'd maybe feel sorry for those impacted that had nothing to do with it.

You gotta read the fine print.  It's like in 2012 when they convinced the good voters of CA to raise taxes on the highest earners using the "think of the children" rallying cry saying so much of it would go towards schools, prevent teacher layoffs and so on.  However, the money raised went into a fund that required a much smaller percentage to actually go towards education.  
This is why anyone who supports raising taxes needs to have their head examined because the amount of mismanagement and waste at the state and federal levels is ridiculous.     

If it wasn't for family I think I would have moved out of state by now.  Once we have kids depending on the state of OC and CA in general that may be the push we need to move out of state.   
Tank - I can't imagine retiring here even if family is still here.  I think I'd be more likely to live somewhere that's a short plane ride where it's a fraction of the cost for a much better quality of life.   

Saw this earlier today and it's not like he's a guy you hear a lot about but I had no idea he was battling cancer.  57 is too young and next to Chapelle he was the funniest guy on that show while he was a part of the best skits.  RIP.
