I never thought my candidate would pull it off, honestly (granted, I don't understand the tears we saw from the Hillary Camp - I didn't plan on crying or going into fetal position if Trump lost; but to each his own). I do like his desire to be a president for all Americans. Here's to the next 4 years.
Anyone played against the Blood Moon Jund? It is your standard Jund, adding more basics to support a maindeck Blood Moon. It doubles down on discard in lieu of stuff like Abrupt Decay. A heavy BR skew, with green mostly being there to splash their Tarmogoyf.
I mean, its not like the folks out there don't indulge in a bit of *****talking amongst friends. Take when a group of us ended up at a strip club because one of the girls in our pack suddenly decided "hey, let's go to the hustler club!" There were a couple of working girls that had obviously had some c-sections or two in their lifetime - and the ladies in our group were making cracks about "this is why we can't have nice things" while they worked the poles. We were pretty much groaning at the larger workers, but they could get downright vicious lol.

I do get the outrage over the tax loophole - I assume most of those outraged weren't sharp enough to look for loopholes to save a bit of money.
The people angry about the Rosie comment aren't Rosie O'Donnell, they're strangers - and the meat of the comment, her weight, is something O'Donnell could change if she so desired. Since its directed at a specific individual, and is changeable, I don't get why total strangers would take offense at the comment. In Rosie's case, its a simple matter of putting down the fork, finding an exercise regime and sticking with it.
I think this behavior that I'm asking about - people getting offended by Trump's comments, seemingly on Rosie's behalf - is what the alt-right calls "virtue signaling."
The point isn't to find a way to soften it or excuse it. Its crass - but I don't see why people are getting outraged on Rosie's behalf (given my prior examples of female friends kinda ribbing at fat people via the Jabba pic or the 'what's your excuse' motivators). Since I don't understand this perspective that motivates the individual to express outrage on another's behalf for this sort of targeted issue (as opposed to something more general like the slurs against Mrs Kelly or the reporter with the neuro deficit), I decided to seek education here in the Trump thread from the regulars.
You got the right of it, you are confused. A woman can't choose to not have a period, no more than that reporter could not choose to have his neuro issue. Rosie could do something about her weight; since that's under her control, the kerfuffle over the comment came across as overblown. Those comments about Rosie didn't seem any different at their core than when, say, one of your female friends posts a "what's your excuse" type exercise motivator after they've had a kid, for example.
Not at all. I don't approve of it, but I don't see why its an issue given it was directed at one individual. Yes, the period slur was thrown at Mrs Kelly - but that's not exactly something you can control. Its slightly different: something the individual can do something about vs something that's just a part of your natural physiology (the period thing is about the same as when he made fun of that disabled reporter guy; crass and over the line).
That's something the media keeps bringing up. It didn't make sense to get mad there since you can control your weight. It makes more sense getting mad about his period crack to Mrs Kelly since that's biological and pretty much just a fact of life.
Question about the "Rosie is a fat cow/pig" comment from the Rep Primaries...why would anyone other than Rosie get offended? I mean, this one time in lecture we had a heavyset lady professor speaking, and one of the girls in our fantasy league messaged a picture of Jabba the Hutt with "who does this remind you of? Lol" during the lecture...I don't understand this particular bit of outrage. It makes more sense to be mad at Trump for his position on abortion, or other issues, that would have a wider application than to one individual.
He's more a nail in the coffin. The dragons do your heavy lifting, but I'll test out a third Reveler in place of the Mad Man. I also like how Swanland's Ob Nixilis kind of looks like the Incubus (moreso than the Revelers anyway).
I know the Skreddies like their Boros Reckoners. We've got Fulminator Mage for the mana denial plan.
Scout's Warning is bad. Also - I'm not a fan of Grixis, so Brainstorm's out of the question. Scroll Rack has no place in a deck outside of Academy. None of that's worth it.

b.) I disagree, but Blinking did a fine job of laying on the rationale for it. So now I have a better understanding of the why.
c.) No arguments from me.

Thoughts on making room for Fulminators?
