It was two cats in a bag, with no defense from Mike Pence and no more mister nice guy causing the GOP political pain from Tim Kaine.

Magic Mike tried to make all the outrageous comments The Donald made disappear. Perhaps he has a memory deficit.

Supreme Court?

Submitted by ub on

Question: Members of the US Supreme Court are too shorthanded to extend the long arm of the law and they begin another term minus one. As the incomplete court works with uncertainty, how will cases be affected when they replace the late Antonin Scalia and the nominee is eventually appointed?
In the meantime, is long-term immigration detention illegal? http://www.theatlantic.com/…/supreme-court-immigrat…/487877/ #NewsEngagementDay

MEDIA MANIPULATOR

Submitted by ub on

The media is best when it offers unbiased news and rarely views in editorials. It should also be from all angles and on every media platform and format available. However, today's media is in a state of confusion because the medium did not see any of this coming. Trust me, I'm not lying. The Donald has managed to trump the media and continues to get away with it each and every day.

Make USFL Great Again?

The Donald claimed to make US Football League great again but fumbled after being sacked.

The 1985 USFL championship at Giants Stadium, home of the Trump-owned New Jersey Generals. Trump's strategy for the league is widely believed for its demise.

Back in 1986, the USFL and businessman Donald Trump filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the National Football League. The NFL was found to have violated anti-monopoly laws but was awarded just $1, which was tripled to $3. When it folded, the USFL lost about $163 million.

Are these great business practices? What say you?
