  1. I'm glad you added France to the end of that. We all would have been confused, thinking Arafat's widow and daughter live in Paris, TX. I'm not sure you're right though. Paris, TX would actually make more sense, since it's only about 2.5 hours from Palestine.
  2. As luck would have it, Dusty Dvoracek has some experience with this.
  3. Someone needs to find that whistling prick and beat the shit out of him.
  4. Sark seeing BYU on the jersey and he's getting flashbacks to playing for LaVell Edwards.
  5. They see it. It's intentional.
  6. Brigham Young was a slave owning, racist, pedophile who forced children and already legally married women to "marry" him. Fuck BYU and anyone that proudly wears the name of this piece of trash. Let's make them eat shit and then never play these fuckers again. \m/ TEXAS!!! \m/
  7. Yes, but I also question the power of evolution. Evolution gives us lots of MTG types, but only rarely Susanna Hoffs.
  8. Much of it is based on Archbishop James Ussher's calculations in the 17th Century. Based on who begat who in the Bible and some absurd lifespan estimates, Ussher decided not only that the world was ~ 6000 years old, but that the world was created on October 22, 4004 BC.
  9. Truth. It's a special kind of intellectually lazy stupid that I particularly loathe. It's a dangerous, malignant stupidity, which betrays an intentional ignorance that is impossible for me to comprehend. There are ~ 900 described species of dinosaur (not counting birds). The ark was supposedly ~ 440×72×43 ft. I've excavated a single sauropod sacrum (middle hip bone) that was 10 feet wide by itself. The whole animal would have been around 100 feet long and 50 tons. There are probably at least a dozen known dinosaur species in this size range. There are many, many other stupidly huge species as well. It's like someone saying they put the actual Mt. Rushmore in their pocket for show and tell. If someone went around insisting on that, we'd institutionalize them, but we're letting someone that stupid and intellectually dishonest be 2 heart beats from the Presidency. This really is the dumbest timeline.
  10. Spot on. It's disgusting contempt for the lives of other Americans. The number of dead citizens they are okay with as long as they get to keep their guns is ∞.
  11. Not just gay marriage. Dude is flat out anti any premarital "sexual conduct". I don't mean to diminish the very real threat the GQP poses to our LGBTQ+ posters, but I want to focus on the implications of that broader statement. Saying pre-marital sexual conduct is evil and that states can discourage it is extreme Christofascist bullshit. Also he's a lawyer who is watching his language. He's usually very precise in how he says things. Note he didn't just call out premarital sex, he specifically said ALL "sexual conduct outside marriage" is evil and governments have the right to discourage that "evil". That is really broad. He just skipped quite a few places on the "First they came for the _____" list. As awful as he is, the GQP forcing Mike Johnson's Puritanical values on the rest of us is doing everyone a massive favor, because it's ripping the cover back quickly to show what's underneath. I actually appreciate his hubris and audacity, because the enablers love to say that these kind of posts are hyperbole, while Johnson's own words show that the threat is very real and represents a threat to all of us. We're at the "they are coming for us" part of the list while there are still a lot of us left. We have to hope enough of us are listening to do something about it while we still can.
  12. We have never needed a vomiting rep response as much as we do right now.
  13. Those factories should already be 2 foot tall piles of dust. Killing the supply chain for Iranian drones and missiles is much cheaper and more effective than trying to knock all the missiles and drones down once launched against our troops, Israel and Ukraine. We also need to add much more severe sanctions against anyone supplying the Iranian/Russian missile and drone programs, as well as add substantial prison time for any executives from Western companies that attempt to circumvent sanctions. Further, we need to figure out what we can do to aid the Iranian people in overthrowing the mullahs. Proportional responses don't work with fuckwads like Iranian leadership. We can escalate WAY past what the mullahs can. It's time to remind them.
  14. I'm surprised she can pronounce insurrection on the first try. It's not easy to make human noises with a caveman hyoid bone.
  15. Goddamit. I was going to be lazy this year, but if these Baba Yuckos are against it, I guess I have to put up the Halloween decorations. Slava Ukraine and Slava Samhain motherfuckers.
  16. Scratch off #2. He's one of the seditious fucks MOST responsible for trying to overturn the election. The other seditious fucks approve of him, or are too stupid to look even slightly into his record.
  17. Elon could partially redeem himself by launching Trump as the first man to Mars, but actually he just has to clear orbit and run out of fuel. Alternatively, Elon could always do the Elon thing and blow him up during launch. That works too.
  18. In Kinzinger's defense, at least it's the proper framing. Republicans theoretically have the majority. If they cannot chose a Speaker and govern, it is on THEM to approach the Democrats and offer something that seriously moves the needle for Dems, WITH guarantees that make it virtually impossible for the Republicans to lie and back out of, which they would otherwise 100% attempt to do. Which brings us back to the same place. The only thing approaching impossible for Republican reps to back out of is formally switching parties. Based on repeated Republican lies, backstabbing and ratfuckery, Democrats would be colossally stupid to give anyone still calling themselves Republican any benefit of the doubt.
  19. Agreed. Same as the assholes that put a cross/fish on every sign and business card, while making sure to pull the cross out of their shirt so it's prominently visible. If you have to do this, it's because your actions clearly stamp you as a shitbag.
