Good move.

Thanks. Found a great Lager and broke bread with some neighbors.

Figured it all out yet?

Now just because Vivek suggested (not seriously, mind you) moving up the voting age to 25 is no reason to insinuate that he's a weirdo.

Like me some some Vivek.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t care on Memeorial Day Weekend.

Looks like the "tourists" pulling down up to 18 yrs. in the slammer.

Thank you. That’s all I can say/give.

No matter how hollow it rings.


Edit: It seems the punishment is a bit unusual and somewhat cruel, no?

Will it be 18 years or will he get pardoned by the next (republican) president?

Well, maybe Phan. Or you can vote for more of the same.

In celebration of Memorial Day weekend, I'm confident someone on this board must have forked over $35 for a six pack of Ultra Right beer.
It should have shipped by now.
How'd it taste?

(I can't find any news releases about it shipping/arriving, so I hope it's not another grift by a far-right person)

I'll drink one with you while you enjoy your Bud Light. Jackass 2: The Butt Chug - YouTube

This is truly the most amazing macroeconomic graph out there. What's been done to our economy by those that have been in charge is truly criminal:

"Chart #1 compares the level of real GDP to historical trends. The green line represents the trend growth rate the economy averaged from 1965 through 2007 (3.1% per year). The red line is the trend that has held since the current recovery started in mid-2009 (2.1% per year). A one percentage point difference per year doesn't sound like much, but over time it really adds up. If the economy had remained on a 3.1% annual growth path, it would be 25% larger today."

Haha, this guy’s going to get “discredited” real soon for being correct. Just ask Laffer..:)

I can’t wait to hear; “but incomes are up” like people don’t understand the difference between real and nominal wages…

What is it with Trump, and Trump associated people, and their grifting of elderly people?
Seriously, this seems to be a conservative playbook; are there any similar liberal rip-offs?
It it's not a fake university, a fake charity, a fake build the wall....now it's "Trump Bucks."
