    So aside from jason collette's face, and 1Js politics, the thought that is most disturbing me today is seeing an old post by CJ and being reminded that Feral told me that he has never seen the movie Airplane. WTF? That's some podperson shit right there, right? I mean what dude who was supposedly a teenager in the early 80s never saw Airplane?!? I should have checked to see if he ever saw Caddyshack.
    I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

            So much winning! In your face, nose!
            I feel like I was the only one here who foresaw this Trade War as the epic disaster it's now becoming. It's very simple -- if goods are taxed at 25% when entering the country and paid by the importer, then three things could happen:
            - the importing company eats some or all of the cost, and it affects their bottom line
            - the importing company eats some or all of the cost, and to make up for it, lays off workers
            - the importing company passes along that cost to the consumer, which drives up prices

            But noooo, said onejay/nots/bernie/cardboardbox/chancellor etc., our economy is doing great, so you're wrong! And then I claimed that the disaster would be regionalized, and that's exactly what's happened.

            What's worse is that El Dummo (that's what my mom calls him) is perpetuating this grandiose lie that China is paying these tariffs. That right there is an impeachable offense, IMO.

                  Benedict Donald just purged the Agriculture Department’s Economic Research Service. Gee, I wonder why he'd do such a thing? Perhaps because that's the group that would track the impact of tariffs, climate change, and taxes on rural America.

                      I've been looking at a hitter video ahead of the draft, and I think I just saw the worst swing I've seen by someone engaged in or hoping to be engaged in hitting a baseball as a profession since Todd Frazier's awkward swing against Verlander in the 2017 ALCS.

                      Guy was way out on his front foot...against a fastball that beat him deep. Oooops.

                        I just defended 1J in the SB. But then I decided to delete it.

                              Was this a typical swing for him or did he just get crossed up
