  1. ‘71-‘76 and ‘84-‘88 didn’t help either
  2. My old man just did his 63rd in a row yesterday. Overall record? 30-30-3
  3. We have. You just couldn’t be bothered to notice, given that you were tending to your fucking shine box
  4. They’ve broken practically every single ceasefire they’ve ever signed with Hamas. And they’ve admitted to that in their own internal documents. What would be shocking, at this point, is if they did not do such a thing.
  5. It really does suck. Last year I went to JerryWorld to watch my alma mater compete in the state title game. Saw a pack of old geezers a few rows in front all donning the red MAGA hats. Sickening. Like…I’d never been to a football game at any level and saw more than one person (if any at all) wearing a political shirt/hat, and yet in total I saw a dozen of those stupid trucker hats at just that one fucking high school game. Seriously there was more political bullshit at that one game than in all 36 years I’d been attending sporting events combined.
  6. Have to say that’s where I was on the RC. Always pulled for the home team especially when it was here but that was just such a bad touch in so many ways. I saw that the Euro players trolled Trump during their locker room celebration and I absolutely loved it. And I know full well some MAGA morons are reading this and they’re contemplating saying to you/me/us that we’re “traitors.” Let me just save time for anyone who is contemplating that: if you really think that exchange will have a happy ending for you, you’re either a bucktoothed fool or you really haven’t been paying attention.
  7. In Karen We Trust With Kevin, All Things Are Possible
  8. I’m surprised the OP didn’t pop on the Kirk thread with the rest of those DT losers
  9. Wouldn’t be the industry of Make Believe and Pretend without another one of its laughably, indefensibly, and embarrassingly wrong predictions!
  10. if any of you are still having trouble with the app, try the "catch up to live" option. It'll show the key plays, then gives you the option to "go live" and it works.
  11. It’s one of our proudest traditions: veto shit that would at least make major steps towards ending the conflict. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of when we started doing that shit at the UN
  12. Yeah it’s only one of about 10 sovereign nations in the world that hold it as such.
  13. Unfortunately this reads like “Random French Basketball star calls on IOC to recognize 1972 US Olympic Basketball Team as gold medal winners.”
  14. See even that was a farce because watergate was hardly Nixon’s greatest crime. He intensified COINTELPRO (there are people even on this board today that have no idea what that is), J Edgar Hoover was never questioned about it before Congress, they ended up retracting the Cambodia bombing from the impeachment articles, etc. Watergate was comparatively a minor crime but it was morphed into a major one in its presentation and for one reason: because instead attacking poor Cambodian peasants or Black Panther leaders (in some cases having them murdered in their sleep), which was apparently seen as good; with Watergate, he was attacking one half of the power system in Washington DC, and was evidently seen as bad.
  15. Fucking disgusting little creatures Oh but by all means let’s keep supporting them!
  16. And this actually ties back to a subject that was covered earlier: this idea that Charlie Kirk was all for open debate/discussion. Yeah, no. Sorry. I’m here to call absolute bullshit on that one. The entire premise of his debate format was exactly in the title: “prove me wrong.” That in itself is logically fallacious. That’s shifting the burden of proof. When I first saw him doing that shit, my first reaction was exactly what it is today: “no, motherfucker. That’s not how it works. You have to prove that you’re right and then you get to ask if we can disprove you.” ”Prove me wrong” wasn’t just some label that he used either. Just watch that video and many others like it and you’ll notice the same problem: Charlie Kirk never met that challenge. All he ever did was bloviate his stupid and ignorant opinions to college kids. There’s no need to “prove him wrong,” there. He failed to live up to the burden of proof to demonstrate his positions as factual/accurate/true. Every. Single. Time. For example, when he says “prowling blacks go around for fun targeting white people. That’s a fact!” How was it a fact? Had he presented credible evidence to establish such a fact? Or was he just blowing more of his horseshit out there and packaging it as “fact,” as so many right wingers just love to do? Well it’s hard to assume the former because I actually did watch a few formats of this “engage the college kids” nonsense and he never did that. It was just drive-by internet troll horseshit. In doing these ridiculous presentations and editing out the few actual strong rebuttals he would encounter along the way, through the miracle of social media, he was able to convince millions of rubes that he was smart. He was able to convince people that he had powerful points. He was able to convince people that because college kids couldn’t prove a negative, his general political persuasion was the right one. It was intellectual fakery to the absolute max. So no, I will not concede the point that this piece of shit was a champion of open discourse. He infected open discourse with the intellectual equivalent of AIDS, cancer and Alzheimer’s all rolled into one.
  17. Either that or they had to do their best impression of Steven from Django Unchained. You can’t tell me that David Clarke met any sort of meaningful requirements other than “appeal to racists, morons and conspiracy nuts.”
  18. Yeah they kinda weren’t the only ones that left, and it’s not accurate to say “well the others left because of them.” No it was because the PAC12 had a shitty media rights structure and it just so happened that UCLA and USC left first. But the Arizona schools, Oregon, Washington, etc were going to leave as well and for the same reason the LA-based schools did
  19. Hell, anyone left of Attila the fucking Hun
  20. Oh that’s a phrase that’s used by so-called conservative Christians. It’s the new “homosexual agenda.”
  21. Take the word “internet” out and it still applies
