    As a recovering conservative, that's not theoretically true.  Conservatives are for measured change among other things.  I have always been attracted to innovative ideas, but to proceed with caution.

    I'll grant you that recent iterations of conservative seem to be against just about any change.

    Right it’s not about conservatism any more. It’s about nationalism with these dunces.

    Moreover, Republicans offer no solutions, let alone good ones.  About all they can come up with is raising penalties and sentences, and they haven't even seriously tried to do that in a while.

    Their whole modus operandi is:

    Step 1: Say Democrats are bad

    Step 2: Rarely offer specifics as to why

    Step 3: Say “vote for me”

    Step 4: Be asked why you’d make a better candidate

    Step 5: Rinse and repeat

    That’s the hardcore Republican mindset…to a T. And the mindset is that strong. Those two double digit IQ bozos with the “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat” t shirts? Yeah that’s them in general.

    They “follow” politics at the most superficial of levels, they have no engagement in same sans the dates every 2-4 years that they show up to vote against their own interests, and they can never bring themselves to vote for a Democrat because they’re that wrapped up in their stupid, feeble identity politics. It’s not about policies, it’s not about candidate “qualities,” it’s about “is there a D or an R next to his or her name?” That’s how you get 74 million voters for a career conman who never actually succeeded at anything worthwhile…and they said they voted for him because “he’s a success.” Yeah, he was a success at continuing to fool idiot rubes like them into supporting him when he didn’t give two bits of a shit about them. 

    And as to the same ones that keep coming back here just to get knocked back down like a bowling pin in the same two-bit alley they’ve always been sitting, I have no idea why the rest of you are even bothering. You already know that they are terminally ill with Dunning Kruger. Their capacity to actually learn something that runs contrary to what they feel they want to believe? Yeah, that’s a dubious proposition at best.

    the people who lead @Cement around by the nose know that he's gullible enough to believe their lies that a woman wakes up one day, damn near 9 months pregnant, decides, "fuck it," and then somehow finds a doc willing to do the deed.  and he is, in fact, that gullible.

    Oh there’s no question. When you see someone saying that the reason “liberals” want(ed) to keep Roe alive is because they’re just itching to see a rash of late/partial abortions, you’re dealing either with a dishonest person or a stupid person because every word of the underlined portion of this sentence is absolutely wrong about absolutely everything that it says and/or implies.

    They know full well that around 90% of all abortions performed in the US are done in the first trimester, damn near all the rest are in the early stages of the second trimester, and the token few (less than one percent) that are late/partial are done as either a medical necessity, or resulting in previous lack of access, in its isolated circumstances.

    If they don’t know it, they’re willfully ignorant. This isn’t secret information, and it’s not new either. A quick Google search turns up a 1984 article from the NIH:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6519237/

    First line: “Late abortion remains a complex and difficult issue in the United States, where about 10 percent of all abortions are performed at 13 or more weeks' gestation. The reasons why women delay having abortions appear to be largely personal, and most are not amenable to public health intervention.”

    So that information is at least 38 years old, so the snowflakes who perpetrate this “38 weeks” crap have no excuse. We know to at least a 90% degree of certainty that they’re just straight up lying through their teeth, and the rest are just dumber than a screen door on a submarine.

    There’s also a tremendous shortage of human decency and morality that would drive someone to say something that hideous and that pitiful. You’d have to be an extremely pathetic and weak individual to produce the kind of useless, feeble, garbled drivel that was posted by Cement.

    Exactly.  That wasn't directed at you.  I fear that if Bolso wants to make a Trump-style shit show out of it, it could be a near thing between the military and the corrupt judiciary.

    That’s exactly my concern. Like I said, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Lula sits in that chair for a single day come January.

    And a much less robust and separate legal system.  As much as you fuckers like to bitch about it, our legal system stopped Trump in the months following the election and are about our only chance at bringing him to heel.

    Our legal system is pretty screwed up but not near as much as the one that allowed a judge to basically steer Lula into a fucking jail cell for nearly two years and ultimately wound up with a high profile position in the Bolsonaro administration. I’m sure we can trust them when they say no quid pro quo was involved…

    Meanwhile notorious criminals like Jaír Bolsonaro run roughshod over that place with impunity. I would like to suggest the reason he’s refusing to concede is because he fears prison like Trump, but no, it’s just because power hungry little shithead’s gonna power hungry little shithead. Prison is very unlikely for him even though every clear thinking person with the slightest modicum of understanding of Brazil’s affairs knows he certainly deserves it.

    But sure let’s just sit back and watch while the “both sides” morons churn out the greatest hits from the “stupid people’s ideas of smart things to say” album.

    He’s absolutely going to pull some Jan 6 bullshit.

    The concern is that he’s got a much bigger following of the military than Trump did here, so it very well could succeed. The bells are sounding loudly now so the whole world will know that when he does pull that bullshit, it’s precisely and exactly because he’s a fucking loser, a fucking pussy and corrupt as shit. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Lula actually serves a single day as president.

    I’ll never get this argument. How could anyone not have respect for what that guy has done and is still trying to do as a football player?

    Just more if the same. Motherfuckers drinking the haterade. And if any of them truly believe there’s a more elevated purpose to it than that, they’re the type that enjoy the smell of their own farts.

    I have zero issues with him grinding it out until someone else or the league in general tells him to hang it up. Fuck quitting until you have to. I get that’s not for everyone but if that’s how it is with him I can completely respect it.

    Right I mean it’s posh and trendy to call him old and they look at you weird when your reply is “yeah he’s old, and he’s still better than whoever your QB is.”

    The sports media, in their fervid desire to stir up the hysteria, is trending in this direction that suggests we need to start comparing Aaron Rodgers to TB12. Why? Because they did so wonderfully comparing Peyton to him? That’s not a knock on Peyton either but it’s kinda the point too: you’re gonna have a hard enough time saying Rodgers compares to Manning…and some want to commit the egregious breach of etiquette by skipping him over and going straight to Tom? Man, kill that fuckin noise.

    And you miss the whole fucking point.  Allies understand that women should have bodily autonomy.  They may have feelings about abortion, but they keep them to them fucking selves.  Unlike your cunty both sides ass who wants policies that make women second class citizens.  Fuck off and die in a fire.

    I wouldn’t bother. You’re responding to someone with chronic cases of confirmation bias and the Dunning Kruger effect. His whole gimmick on this thread has been project, deflect, and distract. I’ve got him on ignore because well, that’s just what I do when I detect posters with a determination to not understand anything or not accept any information that contradicts what they think they know.

    It’s the same reason I won’t discuss biological evolution with someone from Answers In Genesis. That’s the level of fanaticism you’re dealing with here. It’s not that what he says about this topic (and many others) are laughably, indefensibly, and inexcusably wrong; it’s that he and people like him are bound and determined to stay that way. There are people on this planet who are into that kind of thing, and it’s precisely and exactly because that’s the kind of thing they’re into. 

    That’s not to say that there are 0 people on the other side of this issue worth speaking to and even attempt to persuade. I once did that with a person who previously believed that almost all abortions in the US were performed late term. I merely showed him the data that conclusively shows the exact opposite is true and he’s now pro choice. Those things are possible with reasonable people. They call them reasonable people because their standard on persuasion is “give me a reason to believe you and I will believe you.” By and large, the pro-life movement does not fit this description.

    I don't watch his show so I don't know what he said, but given Rwanda's long and complicated history, I would be interested in reading a transcript to see how he managed to make an analogy.

    Oh he can’t even half-assed recite the actual history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. What would make anyone with an IQ above room temperature believe he could even locate Rwanda on a map?

    I turned it off as soon as Herschel said that diabetics need to eat better rather than focus on insulin prices. Type 1 is called insulin DEPENDENT for a reason ya dope.

    Oh it was even worse. He tried tying it to grocery costs as well. Ok so governments the world over have the ability to negotiate drug prices, but even the most lunatic dictatorships would struggle to control grocery costs…and this dumb motherfucker wants to lay that all on the Biden admin.  

    And grocery costs have absolutely nothing to do with “eating better.” Eating healthy on a budget is more than doable. His stupid ass is conflating two things and he cannot for the life of him complete a syllogism.

    Also, have I been asleep for a few decades? When the fuck did this common ignorant slob become an expert dietician? This motherfucker is notorious for having a really weird diet. He says he has one meal a day and is vegetarian except for the occasional indulgence of chicken.

    Ok that works for people with the kind of metabolism he has. Essentially he’s telling people to be born with better genes. But he doesn’t see it that way because, again, the whole ignorance thing.

    It’s the same reason that Ben Agajanian was the world’s greatest kicking coach and Doug Pelfrey was a fucking joke at it: because some people recognize that simply saying “just do it exactly like I did it when I was younger” isn’t actually teaching people anything. If we could all play basketball “exactly like” Michael Jordan, doesn’t anyone think at least some of us would have?

    Telling people to eat better would obviously go a long way in preventing Type II diabetes. But to treat/manage already existing insulin dependent Type I? No, you’re gonna kill someone if you use a microphone to tell such people “just eat like I do,” and for that matter, the same applies to people who already are Type II diabetic.

    This. Even during the OU game, there was a ton of dooming even though we kept scoring and forcing punts

    I just caught a cursory look at the whole article and then pulled up a store count in some ancient spreadsheet I had.  But if Safeway and Albertson's are together and Tom Thumb is part of Safeway, won't an Albertson's acquisition by Kroger effect Tom Thumb?  Again, I probably have this wrong.  

    But yeah, the assault on DFW by HEB/Central Market that has now begun phase two...this could be nothing for Texas...but I suspect will have larger implications for the western half of the nation.  

    Assault? They’re barely touching the very northern tips where Market Street was the big dog. That’s not to say they won’t expand (and I’d gladly welcome that) but there’s a reason they didn’t start in the downtown area…or inside the 635/20 loop…or south of the GBT…or even south of 121.

    I was busy and only caught the end of it. I missed the absurdity of the police badge. From what I saw, Walker was better than expected — not good at all, but relatively coherent. He marginally exceeded my depressingly low expectation.

    I wasn’t a fan of the non-answers from Warnock, but he’s been a good senator and good leader. My Mondays are booked up, but I’ll be voting for him Tuesday morning.

    The fact that they felt the need to have a no prop rule, much less enforce it, seems sad to me. Maybe it’s SOP for debates, but it still makes me sad. 

    It’s the same principle as “Don’t Whiz on the Electric Fence.” They wouldn’t need a rule about it unless it either was a problem in the past or someone (ahem) had recently been threatening to do it. Far be it from me to ever suggest Officer Dingleberry would ever threaten to do anything, but you know the old saying: tell your therapist you’d like to have a shootout with the police and the sky is the limit.

    Didn't alphahydro or whatever his handle was also do post-game analyses?

    Of course, @hpslugga still shares his grades, albeit they are now player-centric. Would love to see how the team as a whole graded out yesterday on the old system.

    I haven't posted anything this year, and for good reason. I do intend on posting a full season report card at the end of the year, but none of this weekly shit.

    I will say that a preliminary look at Saturday's game does suggest a grade of 44/50. Offense 19/20, Defense 16/20, ST 9/10. That's all I'll say on it for now.
