Well, he's a St. Louis Cardinals fan, so... pretty sure you're right.

Well he cares too much to be a Cubs fan...to them there is a game going on during their party

Still struggling with that. Much the same as I've heard through the grapevine that Jon Hamm is a gigantic ****** in real life, not just on Mad Men.

I hear ya. I got used to it with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer.

Apparently the best place to monitor a hurricane is a golf course in Sterling, VA.

Yes there is. They're the cheapest source. That's all that matters to American businesses, and American consumers.

I still can't get over it with Mel Gibson though. Younger, Mutiny on the Bounty Fletcher Christian Mel Gibson, sorta, but crotchety old current day Mel Gibson? Nope.

It's tougher with Mel, I agree.

If Medvedev wins US Open will Trump invite him to the White House?

They won't, cause they're puzzies. Don't want the Repubs to say bad things about them. Better just to keep your head down, and be safe.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I have a hunch that all of 'em have a little dirt they don't want brought up, especially this early in the process where it could tank them.

Although, if I was on the bottom end of the polling, I'd take the shots. Might be enough to give a quick jolt to my numbers to get me through campaigning a little longer.

Not just the ones running for president. All of them. Surely Nancy or Shumer or someone safe in their seat can be messaging this sort of stuff.

Not even the elected. Someone, anyone high up in the DNC, any liberal organization can be saying this stuff. But they aren't.

Cause they're all puzzies.

And that's the perfect response. If only more Dems had the balls to do stuff like that.

Trying to reconcile the contradictions here: Trump ‘doesn’t necessarily need a deal’ with Beijing to be reelected, says US-China Business Council.

Is this wishful thinking on her part?

U.S. President Donald Trump “doesn’t necessarily need a deal” with Beijing in order to be reelected in the 2020 presidential race, says a senior director at the U.S.-China Business Council.

“As long as the trade war that we’re in right now isn’t having an impact on the United States’ economy that is demonstrably bad for regular Americans ... being tough on China, looking tough, is probably enough,” Anna Ashton, senior director of government affairs at the U.S.-China Business Council, told CNBC’s “Street Signs” on Monday.

Ok but...

Still, she added, the new tariffs that went into effect over the weekend — along with those that will take place in December — will “hit every consumer product that Americans buy.”

Globally, the trade fight has roiled investment markets and dampened world economic outlook. Domestically, American businesses from farmers to manufacturers to tech firms have been hurt by the tariffs and are urging both sides to refrain from further escalation.

“I have a hard time imagining that we will get to the 2020 election without seeing a significant impact to people’s pocketbooks,” Ashton said.

Ashton said China appears to be showing some restraint in the face of U.S. provocation and that “seems like a positive thing.” However, she added, the reprieve might only be temporary.

Once retaliation resumes, “I think that we will just see more high-stakes brinksmanship from the U.S. side and this could go on and on and keep getting worse.”
