Helpful hint: people will think you are smarter if you stop using the word "irregardless."

She's dumb enough to believe it's true?

Why do I get the feeling that in return for the ZTE concession: 1.)China agrees to buy soybeans from the US again. 2.)Trump will cite China's willingness to cooperate as the reason he delays tariffs, and we"ll be right back to where we were 3 months ago. 3.)Trump will claim this as the greatest trade negotiation in history. Edited to add, House Republicans will nominate Trump for the Nobel Prize in economics, paving the path for the rare Nobel double-up. 4.) Drenched in semen from their euphoric circle jerk, the Trumptards will buy replacement MAGA merchandise further enriching Trump AND the Chinese sweatshops that churn out that shit. Art of The Deal, motherfuckers!

Communist kickball talk not going away....

Bullshit. The right went right so hard during and after Bush II that it is unrecognizable, except for its embrace of racism, nativism, fundamentalist Christianity...and its repudiation of science and education. With "RINO" the litmus test went full right retard, closer to Alt-right than country club fiscal conservatism. And all of the orange dick sucking adherents left on board the GOP think that the other side has gone "hard left", when in reality the opposite has occurred. They think the world is rushing by them, when in reality it's just their clown car rolling down hill.

You can write it today, USC surging. Texas has a chance since it gets the last official, but it will have to hit a home run.

He’s an excellent prospect and I would be excited to get him but I think declaring him an offense changer based on film against crap HS competition is a bit over the top.

Dude...it’s a plank of the Texas GOP platform.

I see TCU is still trying to claw their way to a top 5 class.

Guess who’s ready to see 3 more Astros homeruns today? This guy!

Paul Merson said earlier this year that he’d dress up like a muppet if Huddersfield weren’t relegated.

Wienerschnitzel is terrible. You want this

Topwater reds this morning. Also landed two cobia on the duck boat. Limit of trout brought home for the grease as well.

How would you like to die today motherfucker?

I've got a 6 yo and 9 yo so we watch America's Funniest Videos on Sunday nights while making dinner. A trivial thing that annoys the hell out of me is that the $10,000 winner is always the shittiest video, usually with bratty kids doing stupid shit. I know it's irrational to let that shit piss me off, but there's lots of really funny videos that never win.

Adorable that you can’t man up and admit you were duped. Just like you can’t help but keep supporting the traitor in office. It’s ok, you’re not very smart like other trumpkins. Just admit you were duped.

They’re looking like straight bozos He saw it coming and that’s why he went solo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I reserve the right to continue to mock you for it.

That just isn’t true. The last three GOP candidates for president were McCain, Romney and Trump. They’re all liberal for a GOP candidate. Bernie Sanders, a socialist, wouldn’t have gotten more than 5 percent of the dem primary vote 30 years ago. In 2016 he was a force. There aren’t any Charlie Stenholms in the Democrat party anymore. It’s taken over by socialists and those with a hard on for identity politics. Look at Bill Clinton’s platform and accomplishments. He’d be called a racist by the modern left.

If that peckerwood was going to get on base anyway, might as well have beaned him.

Looking good. Very uniform.

Chris Paul is 2nd in AST% all-time in the playoffs. He's top 5 in STL%, PER, ORtg, and WS/48 all-time in the playoffs..... in history, not active players. He averages 21.2 PPG, 9.1 APG, 4.8 RPG, and 2.2 STPG on 48.5/38.0/84.9 shooting percentages. It's ridiculously stupid to think he doesn't bring it in the playoffs. He had one really bad individual moment and a couple of moments where it didn't go his way. Basically every player who's played enough playoff basketball has had moments similar including KD, Lebron, and Steph. If history is any indicator, he's going to play well in this series. Really well.... Frankly, I'd be more worried about Harden and I'm operating under the assumption most of the stars play well in most of the games (I'm sure some will have bad games) and figure out ways to contribute so the stars should shine at different times. We've also spent a ton of time talking about defense and how each team may defend but I also don't think either team will shut the other one down for any long stretch of time. Defense becomes very important in the half court and typically in the last 5 minutes of halves, but these teams are gonna score.... probably a lot. Pace will be interesting to watch. Who wants to run??? When and how.

Astros will wear @HoustonRockets gear on the flight to Anaheim as a “tip of the cap” & to support them in the Conference Finals. Expect to see jerseys, current & throwback. AJ Hinch is wearing tearaway warm-up pants that have been supplied by the Rockets. Stay tuned. #RunAsOne [emoji573]

"USC really sold him on being able to start right away. He has a great relationship with Tee Martin and he plans on majoring in film these hurdles might be too much for Texas to imagine overcome. I am changing my pick to cloudy " Did I do that right?

let me see .... you lose probably your most prolific qb ever who is going to be replaced by a midget shit show IF you are lucky. being led by a guy who seemingly has picked up right why big game bob left off in both the choke job and the cock gobbling departments . couple that with mike fucking stoops leading that limp dick d and you think the future is bright ? man step away from the meth and go outside of your trailer and get some fresh air .you could obviously use it

Love Jesus all you want but lay off the hate, read the parable of the Good Samaritan and the Beatitudes and the early revelations Moses received and you’ll be better for it. Loving God and your neighbor is a bad ass theology and if pence thinks avoiding meetings with women one on one lifts them up in love then he’s delusional because all it does is perpetuate a men’s only club of power. It’s active and real discrimination. And it’s absolutely ok to call it what it is - a clear and present danger to many.

When your outspoken legitimate beliefs - accepting your homosexuality and/or your transgender nature is a sin and we don’t warrant equal treatment under the law - cause others to kill or discriminate against my people in basic fundamental areas of living like housing, insurance, healthcare and employment - I will speak out about the hate you espouse. I don’t hate pence but his beliefs, those that believe like him are a clear and present danger to the lives of many. That’s a god damned fact.

That was some shit like what you do after you screw up in racing video game, right before you hit the "Restart Race" button. If Gunther really thinks no American and/or IndyCar driver could do better than his guys, he's seriously delusional.

I think I hit all the talking points to get them riled up.

You gonna get raped by the klobasnek crowd.

Jake Smith is better than Waddle. There, I said it. Sorry EJ.

If all our recruits are 40 year old white outdoorsy dudes then that video is going to slay

Well boys, we might have found an OL coach....I'm excited.

Also, cheesy Gordita crunch

If you can think of a bigger cheetah than Lance, I'd like to hear it. (I may even neg rep myself for that one)

So no Fucks given then.

As someone who grew up Baptist, I'll weight in on this. You have to understand that their outlook on the world is an extension of their view on the Bible, which is a melodrama going back and forth between good and evil that will culminate in an apocalyptic event where the good guys win. There is no nuance. It's black and white with no gray. So, as they see the world, it's a drama in constant conflict. (They're drama queens.) The end game is the other side isn't simply the "other side," they're actually evil. It really doesn't matter if it's Hillary Clinton or Obama. They'd say the same about Biden when you take away the race and gender angles. It also doesn't matter who is on their team. Every election has the balance of the universe in question. They voted for a child molester in Alabama because babies might die! Also, it keeps them entertained, if you think about it. There's drama everywhere not unlike a teenager with a video game. Just turn on TV and you'll hear how city council elections are a battle for America or something. On a larger scale, though, they're not the dominant political force of yesteryear and it's not close. They're more of a transactional voting block now and by that I mean if a candidate can get them theirs, that's all they need. They're like the unions in that regard. Just get me what I can and the details of the candidate don't matter. The only difference is they've been draping themselves in morality for decades. The truth is they've always been the most pliable voting block in America. They were against divorce until Reagan, against draft dodging until Bush, against fun babies until Palin, thought Mormons were a cult until Romney, and against everything until Trump. They'll believe whatever they're told. (If only Wulaw and Escriva were still here to tell us how principled they are.) All you really have to do is merely say you're pro-choice and they give you a pass for everything else. On the subject of abortion, you're right in that it's a little more complex but it's not. They say that issue is their deal breaker but would they vote for a pro-life Democrat? Most of them would decidedly not. So, they say it's what makes them Republicans but there are certainly other factors. The Democrats know this, too. They know by running a pro life Democrat, they'd lose far more voters than they'd gain. The evangelicals will just want to vote Republican but they need some issue to dial up the melodrama (see Paragraph One). It makes them think they're fighting some cosmic battle.

My daughter usually competes in the highland dancing competition there but we are skipping this one in favor of camping. Any way, here’s a pro tip: The knights of the brown bottle home brew club usually has a competition there that starts at noon both weekend days. For $5 you can “join” the club and drink unlimited samples to help them judge. They usually have about 20 home brews on tap. Almost missed my daughter dancing last year. Or you can be one of the morons buying $7 pints all day.

Looking forward to the 2034 backpedaling

real men play washers

Laugh now future boy! Based on the established trajectory I'll be at 160 lbs come January of 2020!!

chuy with a mohawk looks like gremlins.

That was one of my favorites. Look, I have to acknowledge this -- over the last couple of years, is there any place in the world MORE fun to be than a Russian troll farm? I think not. Seriously, the guys get to sit around, drinking vodka, and coming up with absolutely OUTLANDISH bullshit....all of which ends up believed. "Oh yeah, Yuri? You've got them believing the US Army is invading....the US? I'll do one even better -- I'll tell them there are secret jails, ummm....underneath their Wal-Mart stores!" "Sure, Oleg, that's good. But how about this -- I"ll tell them that their precious Blue Bell ice cream trucks are going to carry all of the dead bodies!" [lots of Russian laughter, vodka glasses klinking, and stupid fucking Americans believing every outlandish fucking word the trolls can type] Our country is too stupid to survive.

We bitch about a lot of stuff on here... some miniscule and some more pressing things... but we are literally ragging on our rowdiest fans. This may be one of the most flabbergasting threads on Surly right now. we always bitch about the students not showing, or blue hairs driving up seating prices, or people not yelling or providing a homefield advantage or whatever... but jesus the HellRaisers are fine. If everyone was like them, we’d have the best home field advantage in all of football
