Fuck him. The moment he couldn't resist downplaying McCain's service opened him to a lifetime of derision and mockery by simple contrast. I've never made a sacrifice like that for anyone or anything. And i never will. Any enlisted person who went to Kuwait for a month just to sort mail has far surpassed my record of sacrifice. I possess just enough dignity and respect to never run my fucking mouth about that person. Our records speak for themselves. The fact that he even felt slightly defensive about that part of McCain's life clarifies that he's soft. No matter how unfair, Trump earned a lifetime of that derision for being a loudmouth. The truly weak resent and loathe any sign of strength they detect in another person. John McCain flew planes and Donald Trump failed at closing an umbrellas before entering a plane. That's the end. Trump earned that narrative.

Some of the comments on the FWK\Shepherd business are flat out embarrassing. If the FWK is really for sale, we just need to write a bigger check. If that's the game, we need to play it. The NCAA ain't doing shit. Shepherd is committed to us, at least for now. Talking shit about a current commit is a bad look. He flaked on multiple aggie visits. He hasn't even visited them since committing to us. Why don't we wait until he does something worth criticizing before we shit on him? Practically everything you're upset about concerning Shepherd is coming from $9.95'ers or a 3rd party twitter account.

Lol

Seems like the First Responder Bowl would be the most ideal bowl for a disaster....

Sounds like A&M will have alaka linebackers

Service vs Draft Dodging has been a political issue for 30 years. What's new in Trump's case is that we've never had a Draft Dodger who openly talks shit about people who exaggerate their service or who didn't serve. The level of hypocrisy is astounding, and it's mind boggling that people continue to defend it with the "well, lots of people..." bullshit.

You wanna play the dumbshit head in the sand bullshit game, ok. Let's close every American base and every mission and occupation immediately. Let's do it. Send them all home. And as a former deployed soldier with two brothers and a close cousin with family deployed, we're much easier going places than having a pathological liar and his fuckshit supporters to deal with.

Over the past six months, number of site visits: MSNBC: 29.88 million Fox News: 327.84 million CNN: 513.19 million Pornhub: 3.04 billion. TAKEAWAY: CNN is beating Fox. Fox is beating MSNBC. And EVERYONE is beating their meat.

And this is where the stats become reality. There's arguments above of "real adjusted dollars" and all that shit. That's noise. Let's talk about what reality is. Reality is 1) what your income has to go to, and 2) what money you have left over and what you can buy with it. In other words, because dollars are fungible with what they can be exchanged for, we can and should couch income in terms of fungible items -- e.g., people used to get monthly pay equal to 3X their monthly housing cost. Now, they only get paid 2.4X their monthly housing cost. Certain large-ticket costs have gone up dramatically (outpacing any wage growth): housing, health care, and higher education. Once the average family pays for those items, they have LESS buying power left over than they did 40 years ago (the buying power to acquire a car, take a vacation, etc.). We spend a shitload of time ranting against socialism, or capitalism, or globalism, or automation, or the death of unions, or whatever your pet rant is. But the whole point of this thread is that all of us should pause, take a deep breath, and look at the rising flood of inequality that threatens to swamp us all. History tells us in simple terms that a huge disparity is not sustainable, and ends in collapse/violence/etc. The water is rising, and right fast. Telling the folks who have been taking it in the shorts for the last few decades to keep bailing, while the folks living in the fancy housing on the high ground sip cocktails and talk about how people just need to work harder, does jack shit to fend off the flood. And when the folks in the low land get flooded out, they are coming for your high ground, and they'll take it however they need to. Solving this problem is in EVERYONE'S best interest. It would be smart if we could start looking at solutions unencumbered by our pre-existing biases (meaning that some of the solutions are likely to be more "socialist" than those on the right like, and some of the solutions will be more "capitalist" than those on the left would prefer, and we need to have the spine to just go with those solutions). But we won't. We're too wedded to team and talking points. We'll accuse each other and argue about this shit as the last bit of the ship bubbles and sinks beneath the water.

I’d have zero problem with every whaling ship on earth sinking and taking their crews with them. Evil cunts.

I stopped giving a fuck about Shepard around October. He can go flop with the rest of their line for all I give a shit. He's a project take, so it's not like he's going to be starting for us in 2 years or some shit. Maybe 3 year, but even then Christian Jones would probably be ahead of him, and another grad transfer every year. I don't consider him committed, nor do I care if he comes here.

Your bullet would be intercepted.

I don’t know why y’all are wasting your time with the bone spurs shit. Nothing matters to Trump supporters except making liberals angry. It doesn’t matter that he is a draft dodger who insults heroes. If this hypocrisy makes you angry, that’s a feature of his appeal, not a bug. The only thing that will cause his supporters to abandon him is adversaries celebrating victory, and then like all toadies, these will slink away.

Vic never stopped slaying whales.

At my work Xmas party, some chick gave me a BJ saying she needed to practice for Xmas day. I got a Whataburger Yeti cup in the gift exchange. I gave it to her as a thank you.

They knew what they were getting into..... I say let ‘em crash

Here's phd jr's rig I bought for Xmas... really sweet intro git and that Squier Frontman amp down there is an awesome little porta, puts out a lot of volume and it's a blast to play with the gain/vol to get the overdrive. Fun little combo. The boy has been on it almost 24/7 since yesterday. Diggin' him diggin' it. (yeah those are socks... lol the boy doesn't want to scratch it up so he has socks covering the metal/rubber).

Baker is a very talented QB. He is also a grade-A cunt. These are not mutually exclusive. Not sure what the argument is here.

gosling's ginger beer I missed the 10 o'clock meeting, so here's a share on the most recent subject - Struggling in alcoholism was the worst - apart from a brief window of early stage escapades that would have been better if I could have moderated anyways, there was no good part of that. But fighting (and almost losing to) alcoholism has given me a ton of perspective that I would not otherwise have, a deep well of empathy for other human beings of all stripes and sorts (even if I don't always express it well), and a framework to organize and turn productive my most destructive mental traits and proclivities. The types of things that most of us here deal with. Neurotic obsessiveness, possessiveness, envy and spite. Superiority, inferiority, anger, and depression. Quick temper and impatience, an inability to understand why others struggle to get with my program. Whatever crazy mix of all of that shit. All of it driving me to numb my senses with alcohol, which in turn caused me to not function properly and then began to kill me. I'm thankful for alcoholism because in recovery I've been forced to rewire my brain. I'm sure that my brake horsepower is still way higher than what I'm getting at the wheels, but I have wheels now. With tires, and a transmission between them and the engine, and that's where my car knowledge runs out for this analogy. Even before the booze I don't know how functional I was, and I'm not sure if I'm moving fast in absolute terms or it feels that way relative to the stasis I came out of. But it feels good to move, it's better to be quick than to be dead, and I'm thankful for alcoholism because that's the road that led me to recovery and where I am now. Which is good.

I can't help but laugh every time one you conservatives come along posting these old quotes from Democrats saying "illegal immigration is bad" like it's some kind of gotcha moment. You only think you're making a point because you believe the conservative media's bullshit narrative that Democrats are for open borders. They're not and they never have been. Of course Democrats and liberals are against illegal immigration and want immigration reform. That doesn't mean they think people who come here legally asking for asylum or even the ones that do break the law should be treated as subhuman and abused as a deterrent. Democrats and liberals (and many classic, non-Trumpkin conservatives) also don't think a $50+ billion symbolic wall is the answer to the broken immigration system when it's been pointed out a million times how most people don't illegally immigrate into this country by sneaking across the border. Especially considering that we're already nearly back to recession level deficits (thanks to the party of fiscal responsibility) and we can't afford it, we would have to steal land from private property owners to build it, and it's been said it would be detrimental to the local environment. So yeah, Republicans are not called "Nazi Racist Fascists" because they have an "R" next to their name. They're called that because so many seem okay with kidnapping children from their parents, letting them be mistreated, abused, and even die. They're called that because they go on TV and talk about how these people are dirty, diseased, rapists, and criminals who bring their problems to this country. It's about their words and actions, not their political affiliation. But feel free to keep thinking videos of Obama and Schumer saying we need to do something about illegal immigration is the same thing.

"Why can't we get any momentum going?! Why aren't any of these plays working?! They worked when we practiced them by my van down by the river!"

Well, you look at this machine, and it's all about the tradition of dry cleaning.

I hope we get Minnesota just so you can stop using those awful nicknames. Of course I am sure they're the Viqueens to you.

I support decreased foreign military deployment. I don't support the leader of the country telling fighting men and women that they've wasted their time and blood in overseas shitholes when they could have been deployed saving us from the ebil caravans.

This is hilariously accurate

I’m for more college football, not less. Some of you would cry about a paycheck being too much.

Three things that would make Jordan Moore not appealing to Texas 1. He’s slow 2. He’s slow 3. He’s slow

They bought their tickets....

Just because, Russian spies...

I bet they had to drug him like B.A. Baracus.

You don't. Present him with the opportunity to buttfuck himself. Repeat. Never negotiate with a psychopath. He's playing a different game than you are. So change the goal of your game -- your goal is to make him look like the erratic, impotent failure of a human being that he is. The emperor has no clothes. Your job is just to pull back the curtains, shine the spotlight on him, and point and laugh at his tiny mushroom dick. That's it. That's all that can be accomplished in this climate, so do it.

Made it to bowl #1. Left Austin at 545AM got to Dallas by 915. First beers. Let's go.

Sure they are. They are hearsay, but they are definitely evidence. What you probably mean is that they aren't "definitive proof," which would be a correct statement. Of course, sadly, the ship of "facts, proof, and shit like that" sailed long ago, and sank to the bottom of the Trump trench. So, the facts are whatever we want them to be -- those are the new rules. And I want the facts to be that Trump was a selfish, cowardly shit, who dodged the draft. From what we know of Trump, that's probably ALSO the truth, if that mattered anymore.

The problem is that to me the best person to do the job of POTUS is a moderate who is going to work toward balancing the budget and would piss off progressives and old Christian motherfuckers. In our electoral system, that kind of candidate might make Trump look formidable.

Yeah, because whenever a team loses, clearly the winning team's quarterback is the better quarterback. Please learn football before posting about football again.

I saw that post. Had to laugh. It is as if they are holding a competition to find who can lower the value of the A&M diploma the most. I have a gift for the ags I am working on. I have their federal regulatory financial filing and am going to tear through it to find the answer to a question I have. In 2015 they announced a $4B capital campaign they claim has raised $3B so far. The problem is that compared to the net assets of the A&M System prior to the capital campaign, net assets have fallen. How do you raise $3B and be worse off financially? I’m going to figure out what happened and then give the story to one of my financial markets reporter contacts (probably either Bloomberg or Forbes). Let’s start 2019 with some national exposure of aggy financial ineptitude. Whoop!
