  1. We all knew this was coming, and somehow it's still shocking. And it's gonna get so much worse. I feel like we're on the edge of a very long fall, and half the country is gleefully pushing it.
  2. Why not? They thought Dems were letting illegals in because they wanted the votes. Half of this country will believe whatever Jesse Watters tells them to.
  3. Maybe so. But even that is hugely problematic. It weakens our standing in the eyes of many of our partners around the world. It scares field workers and construction workers into not showing up for work. Our economy is about to get donkey fucked. And it likely emboldens right wing shitheads around the country. What are they capable of when they think the President is behind them and will pardon them? Even in a best case scenario where this is all just for optics, it's really fucking bad. And where does it go next??
  4. Yeah, the Chiefs are great. I already said that I don't think they're necessarily getting more calls than the 80s Lakers, 90s Bulls, etc. Great teams tend to get a lot of help. So do great players who are also great at diving. Patrick Mahomes is a Neymar or Arjen Robben type, if you follow the other football. It's okay to not love that about him. Whatever. Go Eagles.
  5. People are imagining it? This was the 12th consecutive playoff game where the Chiefs had fewer penalties than their opponent.
  6. The Texans (last week) are the only team in playoff history to outgain an opponent by 100+ yards, have 0 turnovers, and still lose. Yeah, they were never going to beat the Chiefs. You got that part right.
  7. Yeah, there's a point here. I don't think the Chiefs are getting any more home cooking than a lot of other dynasties or great players. That doesn't mean I have to like it when my team gets absolutely ass fucked like they did last weekend. And people aren't imagining it. Greg Maddux's strike zone really was 3 inches off both sides of the plate, Michael Jordan's traveling really was 4 steps when everybody else's was 3, and Patrick Mahomes gets calls other QB's don't. It doesn't mean those players aren't also great. But millions of people's eyes aren't deceiving them, either.
  8. Patrick Mahomes is gay Tom Brady.
  9. I hope the Eagles beat the Chiefs by infinity.
  10. How's it a decision, Romo?
  11. Yeah, it's hard to win a one-score game when the refs want the Chiefs to win.
  12. They'll get a 3.75 yard spot either way...
  13. UFC isn't fixed; it's just plagued by judges who don't understand how to score fights. Half the time, Dana is pissed because they screwed over his next big thing.
  14. After getting called out by pretty much everyone for violating the Texans repeatedly last week, I thought they might.
  15. OPI coming very soon....
  16. Except that we've been invaded by 11 million painters and busboys! And like 4 of them killed white people. Plus, they're shipping Fentanyl across the border, and that's making the insider info our hedge fund managers are getting from Big Pharma worth a little less to our portfolios, so it's Gulf of America time. Might even be Boot Up Yer Ass time soon, Pedro. Murka. Fuck yeah.
  17. Colombia 1 Trump 0
  18. This is what I'm hoping for. But I'd have more hope if one of our new leader's closest advisors hadn't thrown out a pair of Nazi salutes on Inauguration Day.
  19. True. I saw that something like 70% of Americans are in favor of deporting illegals with criminal records. They're desensitizing us to these images by using a group that most people don't feel a lot of sympathy for. The problem is that they will slowly start expanding this shit as soon as they realize we've lost interest. Or they'll give us something else to be outraged about instead (Reichstag Fire in 3... 2... 1...).
  20. I asked this same question to a friend. She thinks/hopes the Dems are putting together an organized and major response for first part of next week. My mother wants to keep fighting and still thinks the good guys are destined to win somehow because "this is still a good country." I think the fight ended in November and the bad guys won for the next generation. I wonder if the Dem silence is an acceptance of that, at least for the short term. Maybe the only thing left for them to do is watch it burn for a year or two, then try to win the mid-term in a huge way as people who voted for this shitstorm start to realize their mistake. What else can they do in the next couple of years that will actually matter? Hell, I really don't know anymore. It all just looks bleak as fuck.
