Mental illness on display. Don't be angry at him, pity him. Then ignore him. He knows he needs help, but refuses it.

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
There was a bit on The West Wing about a message board made for fans of Josh Lyman in which Josh muses about the moderator being a dictatorial leader wearing a muumuu and chain-smoking Parliaments. Made me think of Katy when I heard that line.

Would we know what we know w/r/t the OL if Sark didn't want it known / didn't care if it was known?

The Real DBU
I haven't looked into it, and I was still in HS at the time, but I was convinced an Aggie threw the flag on that play. Weakest unsportsmanlike I can recall seeing live.

Trump’s America

Where in his quote does he talk about an action this statue prohibits? I'll help you out: it doesn't. Being here "illegaly" is what he talked about. Presence in this country without authorization MAY be the result of a criminal act, but is itself, with no other information at hand, not a crime. If no other information can be ascertained, then only civil actions and remedies can be brought to bear. For a look into the reality of how this plays out, see TH's post above, #320. I point this out to show you that your comment, while not only being a textbook example of misapplication of law to facts, is also totally unneccessary and redundant.- Trump’s America
Eh. Shadow Docket will fix that.- The Democratic Party
I'm not disagreeing with you when I say he did a stellar job relative to the landscape his presidency existed on, especially considering the makeup of Congress. Now, had he rolled in the WH with 57 Dem Senators to go along with the majority in the House? Yeah, not great Bob.- The Democratic Party
As someone who has done quite a bit of court-appointed criminal defense, the way we treat, and the offerings we have, for mentally ill people is immoral. Often the only results are perpetuating a cycle of misery and endangering the public. Much of the mental health services that would be "available" to "crazy" people isn't just "available" to them, it's judicially ordered. For now we just offer them your local county jail, followed by prison. You won't solve all of the problem of homelessness in this country with CJ/MH reform, but it's where we should start.- Trump’s America
There is that lake of fire bit, for the liars.- Trump’s America
So is this the imminent eschatology thread? If God has a sense of humor, I could see this being the beginning of the end times.- Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
And we know it's a politically charged issue not because of laws, but because of races.- The Democratic Party
The Problem isn't that the media continues to do what it does. That's never going to change, so identyfing it as The Problem is only useful insofar as it informs and urges party reform and (lol) unity of message. An underlying cause of that problem is that The Groups, it seems, tend to put the need to justfy the existence of or grow their organization first, and not the primary need of the party, which is to win fucking elections. Really this is just Exhibit eleventy-billion of this not being an organized political party.- The Democratic Party
Lack of accountability is a symptom. FUPM is the disease.- The Democratic Party
Someone can certainly correct me if I'm wrong, but when I see "the groups" I don't think folks like you, that is constituents that have certain lobbies out there advocating on your behalf. I think of the advocacy groups themselves. Folks that are largely justifying their existence by bending pols to their will in order to keep the donation cash flowing. IOW, the sometimes usefull assholes that usually just stand in the way of policy that could help all the people, not just their small or even tiny underrepresented minority. This is the United States of FUPM. In the end, that's why we're so very fucked.- The Democratic Party
By the time the bolded period came around, establishment Dems had become circa 70s/80s Republicans. It isn't just messaging hurting the party. Too many older Dems lacking the willingness to make a dramatic left turn on economic policy still hanging around. Just another reason I don't see a course correction in our future absent a major shock to the system. Something bigger than Covid.- Trump’s America
Dotard is Count Dooku, except played by a fat terrible community theater regular instead of a total badass.- Trump’s America
Spoon. It’ll hurt more.- The Democratic Party
I don’t think they had a lead, but otherwise, spot on.- The Democratic Party
Its association with the Soviet Union is what really made the word toxic. That and the indestructible American idea that it's the socialists (among others) that are keeping you from a life of fame and luxury, not their own stupidity and laziness. I'm gonna just keep harping on it. Billionaires own the thing that binds our culture together. Until they totally fuck everything all the way up (and historically that always happens at some point), nothing changes.- The Democratic Party
Motto worthy. It's Newsome way ahead of the pack at this point.- The Democratic Party
Democrats and democracy are fucked anyway, so might as well not come down on the side of evil and agree with GOP hysterics meant to further marginalize minority groups. Just going to have to do right by our neighbors until the bloody end, if need be. The only way out of this is a near total collapse of the established order. The electorate is hopelessly addicted to an integrated social and legacy media monster fully weaponized by our tech oligarchs to ensure a government friendly to their every whim, and willing to shovel tax dollars into their pockets. And there's no allied western liberal army crossing an ocean to save us from ourselves. - Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
