This FFP rule is moronic beyond belief.

How else would you determine it? Fly both teams and have a penalty shoot-out?

This actually seems like poor strategy. Part of the reason McConnell's decision to block the last SCOTUS nominee was so devious was that in brought out republicans to vote who may have stayed home otherwise. "Oh jeez if we don't win guys we'll lose this seat wink wink." I feel like if they did the same thing here, it might swing several key senate seats.

Then again, the risk is that it implodes and they still don't do well in the elections. But I think even worse case scenario, Republicans have 51 senate seats and a bunch of moderate democrats that have shown willingness to work with Trump in the past. I don't see the benefit to rush to confirm here.

If that group could get someone like Neil Gorsuch in then I imagine they don't need the senate elections. Republican Senators are still likely to remain the same or even gain and I feel they don't want to risk the advantage.

Egypt should win this next game. Russia is much worse than a 5-0 win over the worst team in the tournament will have you believe.

Yeah, big game for both teams, winner likely qualifies with Uruguay. Moreso for Egypt as Russia could qualify by defeating Uruguay and will likely have the goal differential advantage.

This stat from 538s Pollapalooza irked me

58 percent of Americans (43 percent of Democrats and 81 percent of Republicans) believe that the U.S. benefits from having a class of rich people, according to a new Gallup poll. Thats a 9-percentage-point decrease in Democrats who believe a rich class is beneficial since 2012. Still, Democrats are just as likely as Republicans to want to be rich.

If you are a Democrat or left-leaning in general, and you support the redistribution of wealth, but you still PERSONALLY want to be rich, youre a real fucker.

You can want everyone to have a livable wage and still want to be rich.

Graham and McCain have been RINOs on immigtation for 13 years.

Before Trump, wasnt the Republican stance on immigration a lot more tolerant?

Some form of amnesty was very favored by people like the Bushes

The Bushes were big RINOs, that's why they're friends with the Clintons. <emoticon>

But I can't see a solution at this point. I can't see how they can devise a bill that lets illegal immigrants stay without Republicans being afraid it will turn into Democrat votes within one generation. It needn't even actually do that, the fear of it is enough to sink a prospective bill.

Maybe if Republicans focus on conservative values without putting down non-white people they'll make some head way. This is one of the reasons why the turn-out rate for immigrants are low.

Echoes have even less differences than clones, but aren't a straight pallet swap.

For example if they change the weights of the Koopalings they would be echoes and not costumes of Bowser Jr.

so for those of us that didn't watch e3 what precisely IS an echo fighter? Just another color or?

Basically a pallet swap with slightly different properties. For example Lucina is essentially Marth without tip damage.

If the article is correct Southern California would drop to around Georgia's level of GDP per capita. Not good, but not terrible.

But probably with much higher living expenses than Georgia. Maybe with double the housing cost?

Would it though? I imagine housing is cheaper there already compare to those that would be in "new" California.

Considering Canada is getting a lot of refugees from the US (due to Trump) it would be funny if they built a wall and paid for it.

Wow, I guess Vancouver Canada just doesn't have a soccer stadium or something?

Super cool that the world cup is shared between three countries. But I would also find this pretty obnoxious if I was travelling here from elsewhere took the week off and wanted to watch the whole thing. Some 5 hour flights between rounds o_O

There's BC Place, but it uses artificial turf. Though the main reason is that Vancouver withdrew citing demands made by FIFA, essentially they wanted a blank cheque and could demand anything extra to be added.

Mexico and the US typically qualify so really it's only a free spot for Canada and with an expanded field I don't think CONCACAF will have issue with it...

The most interesting part is how much Nintendo seems to value FE.

Most Fire Emblem games are unrelated so it makes sense that the series will have more characters.

A Pokemon, a Fire Emblem character, an ARMS character, Rex/Pyra
