Johnzo - I finally heard back from my friend, but it may be a moot point at this point anyway given yesterday's developments. Here's her response (I've asked her to elaborate a bit more as I don't fully understand the response):

Fair point, but their other choice for President wasn't that great either. I realize that the standard response will be "she couldn't have been worse than this" and the truly partisan will say that it was a no-brainer that she was better, but I don't think so personally. The US really got a raw deal this election, that's for sure.

the tank is definitely on

Yikes! Did he look like this guy?

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a large man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor! Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on , could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1 ? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to discuss with some friends over a latte and try to come to a consensus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Republican's Answer: BANG! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Redneck's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.... (sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?' Son: 'You got him, Pop! Can I shoot the next one?' Wife: 'You are not taking that to the taxidermist !

She lives in Washington State.

I will ask her.

political donations anyway.

Hey Bluto! How are things!?

would Kaepernick stand for the Canadian anthem?

Morrissey really impressed in his game last year against the Canadiens. Will Nogier be the next Morrissey? No. But good for him for filling in and helping get the W. I am sure he was uber-nervous out there. BTW what's wrong with Trouba?

Ok, yes this administration is acting like one that has no political experience, and of course, the top guy is a spoiled man-child. But that being said, something had to be done about the failing Obama-care. It wasn't working. I asked my friend (the same one who voted for Trump because of the Democrats ignoring illegal immigration) about Obama-care, and what the problems are in her mind. Here's her response: So something had to be done, in my view, and in the view of actual voting Americans who were unhappy with the system they had. Will the Republicans fix it? We shall see. It's a bit early yet to judge though, isn't it?

no one told Blake Wheeler I guess.

not for me.

late starts?

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/democratic-party-favorable-rating right now the Democrats are running around 39.5% approval, so right around Trump's approval rating. Talk about the US really not being confident in their leaders right now!

More on my earlier post about Sanders and the DNC: Trump is a pretty bad dude, but the DNC is imploding rapidly. The US really has no where to turn at the moment. http://observer.com/2017/03/bernie-sanders-democratic-party-sinking-ship/

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/17/everyone-loves-bernie-sanders-except-democratic-party Looks like Bernie is saying that the DNC is the Titanic. As bad as Trump is, it appears that the DNC is even worse. Those thinking that the US is going to swing drastically to the Dems in the 2018 primaries and in 2020 should re-think this feeling. The Dems have to figure out first who they are and what they represent, because right now it's not the majority of US citizens.

looks like a good one all right. I expect the Jets to go D heavy in this draft, seems to be quite a few available. That being said, if we can luck out again and be in the top 2 then seeing Nico Hischier on a line with Nikolai Ehlers and Patrick Laine has me convulsing. That line could be legendary, like Bobby, Ulf and Anders legendary.

That's what Rick DiPietro said.

Roslo and Connor developing some serious chemistry. Roslo scored a beauty last night too. Now if they could just get Compher out of Colorado....
