Utah native. Kind of an underwhelming NBA coach, though.
I heard then talking about him being born in Utah on 1280 a few months ago. Austin didn't believe it and then they looked it up and verified it which then led me to read his wiki. No where on his wiki does it mention him being Doug Collins. Haha. At least that's who I think you're talking about.

Yeah, it's the actor James Woods. I never realized he was a native of Utah, until I looked it up now. I went to school with Woods back in Rhode Island, knew him very well at the time. Not sure when he and his mother moved here. His father died when Jimmy was still young. He was one of the true class geniuses in school. Went to MIT before heading to Hollywood. He still gets back to RI quite a bit, to visit his mom, but she may have passed by now. Big time poker player too.

That's awesome to hear. I've always like Woods as an actor. I didn't know he was so opinionated in politics - just read his twitter feed today. From what I remember, he was born in Vernal, but moved when he was 4 or 5, so his ties to Utah are pretty small.

When infection said he was kind of an underwhelming NBA coach, it made me immediately think of him referring to Doug Collins because they look a like (kinda.) Haha. I didn't realize there was an actual NBA coach named James Woods. *face palm*

Why didn't you guys get along?

I was referring to Doug Collins. I've never heard of James Woods the coach.
 
I agree on most of those. The only reason I'd want to keep Pelosi around is she is an incredibly effective Majority Leader, something that will be vitally important if the Democrats win back the house.

Last time didn't she result in the biggest ***-whuppin' ever seen by Democrats? I think people vastly overrate Pelosi. Imagine if people were given the option to vote Democrat to put a fresh new face in the House for Democrats. Pelosi is an anchor.

She's was effective in whipping votes to pass legislation. Majority leaders aren't really in charge of electoral stuff.
 


I'm pretty sure this is Thriller jumping around this old dude, or at least I imagine it's him. I mean, hey, if he's gonna call me "alt right."

This video, for me, shows where we're at in bipartisan political America. You got the old guy, who's the tone-deaf Trump supporter on one side. And then you got the insanity of generation Z, who's completely obnoxious, violent, and suppressive on the other. They're this way because they're enraged and controlled like sheeple by the MSM, fake news and agenda driven media or because they read polarized headlines that popup on their Facebook and Twitter feed.

USA! USA! USA!


Seriously, though, these people need to be firehosed for the lame "Hay, hey, ho, ho" chant. I mean I can excuse or even support crazy, but you got to make it interesting.

Democrats had a filibuster proof majority and basically got Lilly Ledbetter (which apparently did nothing because they still complain about the issue) and Obamacare. They got Obamacare, but it almost destroyed the Democrat party. Seems like "effective leadership" should mean more than forcing people to drink poisoned koolaide.

Obamacare alone is no small accomplishment, given how many red state Dems she successfully corralled to vote for it. Same goes for the Iran deal after she lost her status as majority leader.

There's a reason she's one of the most hated figures on the right, she's damn good at her job.

Oh, and Filibusters don't take place in the House. They had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate for a hot minute, but that has nothing to do with Pelosi.

Who knows, we were just kids. He was a smart ***, and I was quiet and kept to myself. So I made for an easy target. Kids being kids. You know, everyone forms cliques at that age. We weren't enemies, just had our moments. We were in a lot of the same classes. It's funny, a lot of times when I saw him in films years later, I'd think "He's not acting, that's just Jimmy being Jimmy".

He claims he's blacklisted in Hollywood now because of his politics. I don't think it helps anyone to spend that much time on Twitter spewing anger, but maybe I shouldn't talk, although I don't have a Twitter account. Good thing, lol.

He and his younger brother, who I never knew, used to drive all over the country entering poker tournaments. It was like a second career for him. When his brother died of a heart attack, they were very close, and he sued the hospital in RI where they took him, because Woods felt the ER did not perform up to snuff. Woods won, after a protracted legal battle.

A Filibuster free majority in the senate allows you to pass almost anything you want into law. Those laws are generally introduced in the House. You could have "solved" immigration, legal reform, imposed higher taxes, passed all kinds of things Democrats scream about now. Nancy didn't. Either she didn't care, or couldn't "corral" those votes.

The "Iran Deal" was imposed by executive order.

I mean, sure, support Pelosi to "own the cons!" but don't think she is some sort of highly capable, female Mitch McConnel. She ain't that, not at all.

She was able to get enough votes to stop legislation that would kill the Iran deal.

There are political realities that limit wat can be accomplished, even with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, especially when it comes to the famously difficult to manage Democratic party. The idea that Democrats could have enacted sweeping changes with the tax code, immigration, and health care all while working to dig the US out of the great recession just isn't grounded in reality.

As for Pelosi not being a female Mitch McConnell, thank ****ing christ for that.
