They want him to be nominated because he’ll be easier to beat. Moderates and suburban moms will swing heavily to Biden simply because he isn’t Trump. 
 
The best definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. 

Only one wife?  None of the others?

I don't think it's gotten that dire yet. Just bring syrup.

I would have reversed those:
He's having trouble with words, Biblically speaking.
Do you know a Russian, in the Biblical sense?

It's just a staff retreat. I'm sure we'll be gone within 3 days. 😁😁😁😁😁

Most Christian denominations would appreciate the article's emphasis on the differences between Father and Son. Trinitarians agree that the Father and Son are distinct beings. The main area of disagreement would be the doctrine that human intelligence was eternal in the pre-existence. 

I don't know what this means, biblically or otherwise. I don't want to know what it means.

I don't have anything meaningful to contribute, but I have found a way to spice up the current discussion:
He's having trouble with words, in the biblical sense.
Do you have knowledge of Russian, biblically speaking?

If you mean party involvement, I have stayed a registered Republican in an order to vote in the primaries for better candidates.

I vote for Grunt!

BTW, I'm very happy to hear it, @Jamie123. I sincerely hope things are trending upward for you. As we say in America, you've had a hard row to hoe.

This is much closer to how George Bernard Shaw wanted the story to end. I agree with him. Higgins is (a) much too old for Eliza and (b) much too big a jerk for anyone. Shaw wanted her to marry Freddy, who may have been "a bit of a silly arse", but at least he was Eliza's age, and he could have matured as he got older.
Modern feminist versions have her marrying no one, but striking out as an independent woman.
I'm happy with either - just so long as she doesn't marry that old fossil Higgins, who just cares about having his slippers brought to him.

@Just_A_Guy's reply reminded me that there's leadership by formal position, and there's leadership.  @Dylan, don't worry about the administrative leadership (beyond what's already been said), be a leader regardless.  (That's not a suggestion to usurp authority from those who hold formal positions.  It is a suggestion to be the kind of person people will look up to and follow, regardless of their formal position - because of your integrity, kindness, honesty, etc.)

In Utah, for what it’s worth:  DCFS maintains what the statute calls the “management information system” (colloquially, we call it “SAFE”).  If Intake decides, based on a report, that a CPS investigation should open, then the system will hold the case activity logs of the CPS worker who handled the investigation (they should be logging every contact, conversation, forensic interview, etc), and the case will eventually close with one of four findings:
1). “Supported”:  basically, the caseworker thinks there’s a greater-than-fifty-percent chance that abuse or neglect actually occurred.
2).  “Unsupported”:  the caseworker thinks there’s a less-than-fifty-percent chance that abuse or neglect actually occurred, but can’t conclusively disprove the allegation.
3).  “Without merit”:  the caseworker uncovered information enabling them to prove that the allegation was false.
4).  “Unable to complete:  the casework was unable to locate the family, or wasn’t permitted to interview the child directly.
The SAFE system is confidential and may only be used for internal Utah Department of Human Services (DCFS’s parent agency) purposes, including vetting foster parent license applicants and potential DHS employees.  (I have heard that school boards have the option to access the system to vet potential teachers, but the people I’ve talked to who are in a position to know for sure, get really vague whenever I try to pin them down on this issue).  (Utah also recently enacted a regimen for expungement of “unsupported” and certain types of “supported” findings, though it’s still relatively new and they’re still working out the wrinkles of how to apply it.)  However, “supported” findings of severe and/or chronic abuse or neglect (including sexual abuse) do get forwarded on to the “licensing information system”, which is accessible by various state agencies that handle licensing of various professions.  
Parents may appeal a “supported” finding by requesting review by DHS’s Office of Administrative Hearings, and may appeal the OAH by requesting a hearing before a juvenile court judge.
Parents have the ability to pull the complete (unexpunged) SAFE history of their kids.  So, a divorcing couple could access reports of abuse or neglect involving the children and try to implicate the other parent in court.  But an unsupported, without merit, or UTL finding isn’t going to get them very far with the court (and may not be admissible at all under evidence rules); and even if there’s a “supported” finding—the parent would still probably have to subpoena the same witnesses DCFS spoke to in their investigation, and have them testify in court firsthand; the DCFS records would only play a secondary role from an evidentiary standpoint.

The cognoscenti have long realized that Bambi is a nickname for Baphomet.
