No, the first part of my response was "Jala's awesome." And she is. She's great in many ways & I watch her religiously every Sat and Sun morning. But she fucks up names on the reg (as I'm sure others do; I just don't watch them) & I hope that it's not held against her. And I refuse to believe that over 34 pages that La Quita Culpepper has NOT been given her proper accolades. I saw her first (probably quite literally; she lived down the street in HS).

I wouldn't credit the cheering "fans" much. They were likely a mixture of his traveling sycophants + some random they gave twenty bucks and a t-shirt to stand in the front row & make noise. It's as phony and staged as any of his events. What I can't wait to see is the GQP members in the wild wearing those hideous things. I'm sure Ted Cruz has already ordered a pair. MTG too. But when Abbott rolls up sporting a pair it will truly be the chef's kiss of idiocy.

Jala is awesome but my God she can barely read a teleprompter. One of these days I'm afraid KXAN is going to can her for being unable to pronounce names & words for shit, but maybe they're just cool with her being so bad because how many people really care at 7AM on Saturday?

Appreciate the insight as someone who never served. I get that Kubrick was trying to showcase the lack of education in many of the Vietnam-era enlistees/draftees, but that line always sounds forced to me. I'll try to hear it with new ears going forward.

Dude, he's 81 fucking years old. How much runway do you think he has left to use?

Honestly this line is so cringe in its writing and delivery it always makes me wince. Maybe the only misstep for me in the entire film.

Yeah, but Mar-A-Lago is worth $1.8 billion or more, libtard.

Holy shit did they nail it, other than making the man & woman in Oklahoma good looking with full sets of teeth.

In the Esquire article they indicate it was Ray Charles speaking up and saying "ring the bell, Quincy" loud enough to be heard by most that led to Quincy regaining control & focusing the group on the task at hand. Did that make the doc? I can't imagine how much weight Ray Fucking Charles could throw in a room just by speaking up.

He's in his afterglow during those 6-12 hours.

Baylor is heading back to their roots.

That's just the kinda hot take slorch uses to keep him warm while tech wanders the cold, desolate wasteland of irrelevance (aka "Lubbock").

They all seem to have moved to "inflation has made all of my gains meaningless."

Niners are [emoji217]

Holy shit that was a tackle.

Two key Niners players go down on non-contact plays.

Expect plenty of McCaffrey on this drive.

Chiefs line isn't moving the niners D.

Helluva punt & cover.

Niners will kick themselves if they don't get at least a fg out of this.

Mahomet with the duck for a pick. Hahahaha

Great start to the 2nd half. Lulz

And Mahomes gets smothered.

False start out of the 2 minute warning. Lulz

I hear ya, and since I'm only the SIL (least tenured at that) I keep my mouth shut when it comes to her finances. I'm here to support my wife as she tries to manage it. Her older brother is the Chosen Child and both parents have always deferred to his input. Since their dad died 3 years ago his influence has only grown. The sister is almost as much as a holy roller as their mother so whenever their mom says "God instructed me" she clams up and bows her head in servitude. The MIL did well when she sold the old ranch. For the first time in her life she was flush (the FIL was a financial idiot and unemployed by choice by his mid 40s). She bought the place she's in now w/ cash, paid for the renovations, and oh yeah, replaced her car twice inside of 2 years with newer (but smaller...yay) models. She should die with plenty of money in the bank which makes the reduced property taxes as a reason for moving ring hollow. So thankfully, her money shouldn't be an issue. She's agreed on a price for her friend's place and it's less than what she should get for her place. The bigger concern is her moving farther away from the amenities a woman her age needs. The more I look at it, the more I see the fingerprints of her son influencing a lot of this. The ranch community has features that he exclusively would benefit from. He may be positioning himself for a great inheritance while my wife & his sister get the shaft. That was the what their father intended to happen originally, BTW. But after his death & the MIL's relocation her will was supposed to have been updated for a clean, 3-way split. I'll let the other BIL dig into that deeper (he has zero qualms about putting his nose into the finances). Fun days ahead...
