And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.

I think they think Donald Trump is the standard. It's important to remember that he isn't. That's an easy comparison, and some roadkill wins that contest. Being better than the worst isn't enough of a selling point. 2016 proved that. Be better.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America's Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

This is so much satire that it's a little hard to tell if it's satire.

But, if the goal isn't necessarily to win the election, only to absolve yourself of blame if you lose the election, then blaming 3rd party voters is the stance for you.

Could it be a poor political platform, or just not even campaigning in the state? Maybe it's just not being appealing enough to the 40% of the electorate that doesn't vote. Couldn't be.

I feel like all the hate for 3rd parties is the same as the hate for immigrants. It's all redirection and obfuscation.

He needed 2 or 3 years to explore student loans. Maybe this is more complicated, so it will take infinitely longer.

Here's the one I have:

I have another Logitech one that cost about $25.

I really, really like it. They're really durable, easy for a kid to use, and pretty inexpensive.

Only con is if you drop it and the ball pops out, it can roll under the couch.

I use a HTPC. Using a traditional mouse is the worst. For a long time I used a Mac Mini because the Apple Bluetooth trackpad is the only external trackpad I've ever used that's any good.

Then I got a Bluetooth trackball mouse. It's by far my favorite. It's rugged, easy to toss around, and it just lives on a couch arm.

The only steaming device I have is a Chromecast that's exclusively used to turn on and off the TV.

As a pretty left person who lives in Tennessee, please get rid of it. Anytime I have this conversation with folks on the right, I always point out that there are more Republican voters in California than Texas. That usually gets them to concede.

Perhaps the strongest argument that it is God punishing sinful states. The old switcheroo right there.

Can't be a coincidence that these oil rigs are in the Gulf of MEXICO, creating storms to illegally cross our borders.

Or...

Dems are trying to assassinate TRUMP again with this sad, pitiful storm. Never seen one more pitiful. Mar a Lago is great. Really great. Trump will ride out this hurricane. Never fear.

You can't use box office take to measure a movie's success.

Shawshank Redemption is often regarded as the best movie of all time. It was a box office flop.

Battlefield Earth is often regarded as the worst movie of all all time. It was also a box office flop.

Using those two examples, obviously the only true measure of a movie's long term success is whether or not they overuse Dutch angles.

If Folie a Deux doesn't use a shit load of Dutch angles, maybe it'll turn out OK.
