Donald Trump 2019
I didn't serve, but I still believe that all men should serve 2 years right out of high school. It would solve a ton of problems and who cares if you start college/work/etc at 20 instead of 18. Did Sgt Rodriguez and Sgt Sanchez come into the country legally or illegally? If legally, then the wall/border issue doesn't apply to them specifically unless someone wants to lump illegal immigrants in with those who followed the current legal process. If they came in illegally, then maybe the idea of military service could be a more talked about option for a path to citizenship. It is a shame we don't take this border wall fight to the logical conclusion of total immigration reform with liberal work visas and an easier path to citizenship for those who are eligible.

7-year old girl killed in unprovoked drive by shooting in Houston
I've told this story here (TOS) before, but several years ago I wrote my congressman to ask for a formal inquiry into how she was able to get a law degree from UVA. I explained to him that I had a daughter at UVA and how the reputation of the school and it's academic excellence was tainted with someone as obviously dull as SJL touting her education there. One of his staffers replied back with a form letter about working with people from both sides of the aisle. tl/dr: SJL is a horrible human being and also, in no way has the brain cells to matriculate thru one of the top public law schools in the country.

2020 Democratic Nominee
Isn't Harris considered the most progressive senator out of all of them? See this link from a liberal/progressive site. http://www.progressivepunch.org/scores.htm?house=senate Or was your comment sarcasm that went over my head?

Because he received more than 270 electoral votes and no other candidate did. Pretty simple actually.

The Watch Fanatic Thread
Package from Europe came in today. It was a Nomos Tangente 38 Datum. It maintains my German fetish and it is quite a contrast from my two Sinns. I wear my Sinn 104 as a daily work watch and got the 6099 as a formal/event/picking up bitches watch, but this Nomos can be worn for both. We will see how it fits in and how much I wear it. Unless senility sets in and I get my dream of a rose gold Lange & Sohne, I think that I am satiated with these to rotate thru.

Texas State fires Everett Withers - Jake Spavital WVU OC hired
- Our monetary system is insane
I would think that the safe (ish) haven will be minimal-to-no debt so that you don't have to worry about servicing it. It is interesting to read the guesses on inflation vs deflation if things seize up. I would think the logical thing would be a mixture (I've heard it called biflation but there might be a better term) where things that are typically bought with debt will drop in price, whereas other things like consumables, etc., will rise.- Our monetary system is insane
Not enough people understand how important us being the reserve currency is to our current economy and our debt laden government. I have often felt that none of the social issues or current banshee screaming issue driven loons will bring us to our knees, but rather a combination of: 1)us not being the reserve currency (watch as oil trades in other currencies/barter), 2) our total public and private debt and the interest paid, and then 3) the pension/SS and health care promises. These three will eventually take us down (or might be in the process of right now). What is the saying...A fiat currency works until it doesn't. And also remember, that all fiat currencies thru history have eventually failed. PS; Sometimes, if you sit and think about it, how exactly does one get away with charging interest on a fiat currency? With a system of fractional reserve banking/a central bank, and a fiat currency, and with a high debt driven economy, it's almost like all a bank charter is now is a license to print money.- 7-year old girl killed in unprovoked drive by shooting in Houston

Our guard play is terrible so far this year and with no Sags inside we outright suck. I wish Jevon Carter hadn't turned 40 and had to leave.- Famous People Who When They Die, You'll Lose Your Shit
The whole country should do this. If I'm president, i'm declaring a national day off for such mourning. It will bring the whole country together. PS: I don't think I will or did lose my shit over famous people that I enjoyed/admired dying, but admit I was a bit melancholy when Gene Kelly died. He brought me a lot of enjoyment.- Donald Trump 2019
87.6% of all numbers that Trump has spouted since he was elected are made up.....bigly.- ESPN replacing Coaches' Film Room with new broadcast crew of Jason Witten & Booger McFarland for the NC title game
Damned if you aren't a one trick pony here at surly. I don't remember you being like that at the other site. I guess I just missed a lot of posts.- CFB coaching carousel
I've been saying it will be Dabo for years now, but he has built such a program at Clemson, I'm not so sure now. He may turn out to be the "Roy Williams" (remember he didn't replace Dean), and have to come save the program if the in-house replacement fails.- ESPN replacing Coaches' Film Room with new broadcast crew of Jason Witten & Booger McFarland for the NC title game
What channel is showing the roundtable coverage with Maria Taylor, Sam Ponder, and Katie Nolan?- CFB coaching carousel
We were paying Dana $3.8 MM/yr, so unless it is stupid money or a blueblood program, we have the resources and willingness (thank you Big12 $$$) to pay to keep someone we want. - Our monetary system is insane
