The precedent of investigating your political opponents doesn't scare you a bit? Sure, with Hillary it's over already investigated and debunked nonsense. But what about next time? And why be ok with the waste of taxpayer money?


I have a problem with Trump declaring her guilty and that she should be locked up.

I dont have a problem with the justice department investigating anything she might have done wrong. Unlike Trump, I trust them to do their jobs competently.

If the Democrats had power I would certainly want them to investigate Trump!

Dow goes from 18,589 on November 9, 2016, to 25,075 today, for a new all-time Record. Jumped 1000 points in last 5 weeks, Record fastest 1000 point move in history. This is all about the Make America Great Again agenda! Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Six trillion dollars in value created!


I know basically nothing about economics but I dont think that last sentence makes any sense.

Also of fucking course the Dow is regularly hitting all time records. That's what things that on average grow exponentially are supposed to do!


Is there any indication at all that job numbers are growing faster than would normally be expected?

100% finished Mario Odyssey, aside from grinding out about 19,000 more coins to get the last few outfits

The Final Moon is really something. Took like a combined 4 hours to finally conquer it. Not sure if I loved it or hated it.

The harder version of the final boss it unlocks was a piece of cake though.

What a monstrous amount of content this game has.

This is nuts.

At one point, Trump literally says he admires Eric Holder for covering up crimes he thinks Obama committed.

Can anyone defend this?


Theres a question in the game Until Dawn that asks what you value more; honesty or loyalty.

Ive seen people answer loyalty, to my chagrin, and I guess this sort of is what they mean

Yeah, but like his push was kinda... eh. He won a world title awfully quick but it seems like there was a sizeable gap between his first world title win and him being a constant main eventer challenging or holding the title.


Fair, but were kind of getting wrapped up in semantics

My point was that Vince had a vision for Taker as a top guy that went off without a hitch. At no point was there ever a concern that the Undertaker plans were failing

This wasn't exactly what I was asking. I was more asking what does Vince consider taking the brass ring? Because as it stands, I don't see much of a criteria between all of the guys who have been pushed hard.

Is just seems like whoever is fortunate enough to make the shit the writing staff comes up with smell good, which isn't always possible.


Thats kind of what I was alluding to.

The Austins, Rocks, Cenas all overcame shitty booking and characters due to finding their charisma and connecting with the audience

But you cant really do that now if youre forced to recite every line like a play.

Definitely do away with scripted promos

The guys that can talk will still be able to talk

Those that can't, if they deserve to be over, will find another way to be over, usually in the ring

EDIT: What doesn't work is stuff like Reigns being a badass in the ring, then being scripted to say "Sufferin' succotash"


Well you can still have writers help people who need it. Its just asinine to make it mandatory.

I wonder if you can attribute any % of NJPWs western growth purely to Meltzer

I feel like his rave reviews were the foundational push to get neophytes to try it out in 2012

Which gave them enough western buzz for AXS to get interested which brought more people in

Which led to NJPW World offering English broadcasts which brought more people in

Which led to Kenny Omega becoming a western star which brought Chris Jericho in which is bringing more people in

Speaking of AJ, its interesting to think that history will say he took the perfect career path. He built a name in TNA at a time when he couldnt in WWE, bailed PRECISELY at the edge of the cliff for the company, and parlayed his success there to ruling NJPW and WWE.

He wouldnt be where he is if he made the jump any sooner OR much later
