Which is why he’s a nationalist. Nationalism is politics for…basic people.

The thing is, politics doesn't work the way 3rd party candidates portray it. It is not an issue of "sit on your hands for four years, we will conveniently show up about a year or so before the next election and start bitching about the two major parties, offering mere platitudes as solutions." Enough people can see right through that, which is why the real goal of running 3rd party is to thrust issues into the mainstream of political discourse (see Perot, Ross and Sanders, Bernie). But Lieberman? That's just a bridge too far. No Labels is literally "both sides" embodied by a political party...a political party that has no real legislative agenda. All they do is, in their own delusion, proclaim that R's are as far to the right as D's are far to the left, leaving out these poor old centrists that just want to meet everything in the middle for middle's sake. It's a canard that only really accomplishes identifying people who think they're too above-it-all the actually know anything about public policy. Just check out this loathsome position they declared a few weeks ago: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4052216-no-labels-pledges-to-end-third-party-push-if-biden-way-ahead-of-trump-in-spring/ Yeah that may sound good to the superficial-minded. But that first sentence just as easily could read "political organization No Labels committed to end its third-party push if polling shows Mitt Romney "way" ahead of Bernie Sanders." This is the actual political spectrum, and not the self-serving ones that hack shock jocks like Dan Bongino cling to: Purely in terms of policy, the establishment Democrats are located around the "C" in "Conservatism" and the establishment Republicans are around the "T" in "Traditionalism" (the MAGAts split the difference between the two F's). That's not a huge difference and it's fucking asinine to believe in this dog-and-pony show with which No Labels seeks to entertain us by splitting the difference. They want to make the makeup of their party seem all involved, precise, legitimate, fair, even-handed, etc. Well yeah, splitting a frog's hair in half is a delicate procedure...and it's also a pointless one. In 2016, Bernie's run ultimately failed to secure the nomination, but it did a major service to thrusting socio-economic issues into the discussion. What idea are these fucking clowns going to thrust into the conversation? "Cut rich people's taxes, but don't be mean to blacks?" "Same sex marriage but with fault divorce?" Based on how they've performed in the last 3 election cycles (2018, 2020, 2022), I seriously doubt the D's are nervous about this.

Exactly what I was thinking when I got to the bottom of this page. Goddamnit

Geez it's almost like they only do it in advance of the GQP calling arbitrary shenanigans using questionable claims from unreliable sources based on insufficient information. How do the D's always know when the GQP is gonna pull that shit before they do it? I read the indictment in full. I guess I've become numbed to the whole thing because I kept thinking the guy they were referring to was the bastard son of Richard Secord following in his father's footsteps. But yeah, if this is the guy that the GQP is relying on to bring down the Biden Crime Family...well I guess I've become numbed to their standards as well because none of this surprises me. At all.

He plays the main character in that preposterous snuff film Mel Gibson made back in 2004 in order to incite people against the Jews.

“Compensation & Benefits: - Selected players will be paid $100 per practice and $800 per game. - The league will also cover travel expenses for games. - Preseason: 6 weeks with 2-3 practices per week (practices held outside of normal work hours - Season: 8-10 weeks with 2 games & practices per week.”

I wouldn’t bother pointing out the hypocrisy of the SCOTUS. For every time you can find the six stooging themselves are for the two-faced bastards they’ve always been known to be, they’ll say “fuck you, don’t care,” assuming they say anything to you at all. Uncle Ruckus screamed bloody murder about how the Harper case was moot, yet he wants to vote in the majority on an actual fake case. The thing you said about Kavanaugh and loan forgiveness. Just about anything that comes out of Alito’s filthy fucking mouth. We have to stop referring to these characters as “justices” and refer to them as what they are: carefully handpicked political operatives that are selected specifically to service an ideological agenda…and to wear a robe while doing it.

The lawyers on the other end of his next phone call:

Dies? Dies would be an improvement. Everything he touches full on fucking explodes. Trump University Trump hotels Trump Casinos Trump Steaks Trump Airlines Trump Mortgage The Plaza Hotel The USFL And yet what did he run on in 2016? The idea that he's a successful businessman that was financing his own campaign. HA!

And make no mistake, those new measures to which you refer will cause the cost of college to go up. They’ll essentially create new de facto “departments” that bridge diversity with admissions and they’ll employ people to work on exactly what you’re referring to. Colleges and universities are the social capitals of DEI. They’re not going just turn their backs on that because the SCOTUS rendered a ridiculous decision today. All they’re going to do is, as you say, find a workaround. What happens when institutions get more clandestine with their practices? It gets more expensive for them to execute their goals, and that expense is passed onto the consumer. Great. College was so affordable until today…

Which proves two things: 1. How intellectually limited the average American really is 2. How spectacularly soft the American Right is in particular Seriously...mental toughness? That ain't their game. Their game is being a 24/7 victim. "They're gonna take our guns away" "They're gonna take our gas stoves away" "Trump is being persecuted for being a conservative" "Trump is being persecuted for being a Christian" "I'm persecuted because I'm conservative" "I'm persecuted because I'm a Christian" "Trump's house was raided because Biden is weaponizing the Justice Department" "Death panels" "The homosexual agenda" "The LGBTQ agenda" "The atheist agenda" "CRT" "Obama's madrassa army of angry negro ACORN volunteers" "Saul Alinsky" "Antifa" "Communism" "Marxism" "Socialism" "Fascism" "Anarchism" "Sharia Law" "Immigration caravans" "MS-13" "Obamacare Death Panels" "Chem trails" "Jade Helm 15" "Water turning frogs homosexual" "The illuminati" "The federal reserve" "The IRS" They're always a victim of everything except their own piss poor decisions...and yet they're always bragging about how they're the "mature, adult, personal responsibility" people. Whatever. Right, but who needs reality when we have Donald Trump saying words, amirite?

It's not that I disagree with this, but I would like to point out that any time Roberts crosses the aisle is a huge win for the population. Reason? Kavanaugh votes with him well over 90% of the time. In fact last year, he voted with him exactly 100% of the time. Those two are birds of a feather, even more so than when Thomas was eating Scalia's shit and legit loving the taste of it for nearly a quarter century. If any lawyer is paying attention to this dynamic, they'd know full well any and all briefs and oral arguments they submit have to be tailored to essentially pander to Roberts, much like the whole goal of winning a SCOTUS case in the early days of the Roberts court was to target Kennedy. So yes, let's all please continue to throw shade on the SCOTUS if that's what it takes for him to actually go to fucking work instead of just coasting by as he did but for all of like 5 cases since his appointment. Now, would it be better for all of us if (at a bare minimum) Alito and Steven Clarence got hit by a bus and/or drowned in a fishing accident while they were on vacation this year? Absolutely. But even with those two soccer hooligans, there is a path (however small) to victory in even the most sensitive/serious cases, and that path runs right through the Chief Justice. Ideal scenario? No. Realistically speaking, I'd love nothing more than for 1) Biden to win re-elect, 2) for the D Senate lead to expand, 3) for them to kill the filibuster and 4) for Biden to begin his Legacy Years Tour by unpacking the court vis a vis appointing 4 young, flaming environmental lawyers to the SCOTUS to square things up. However unlikely that scenario may end up being, it's far more likely than Uncle Ruckus' and/or Fredo's removal by way of impeachment. For now, I'll take what I can get. I'd rather Roberts rule right for the wrong reasons than to rule wrong for even wronger reasons. Btw for those that have yet to read Thomas' dissent in Moore v. Harper, it reads like 27 pages of an Eric Cartman-style rant in legalese about how "the case is moot goddamnit!!!" Even Stevie Wonder could plainly see that he was simply pandering to Massa Harlan by trying to backdoor a scenario where "Pence has the right to send the issue back to the states" essentially becomes a reality instead of a mere batshit John Eastman "theory." It's pathetic. Even when Trump is dead and gone, those 3 are still going to be butthurt-like-shit that Biden won in 2020. This is the three of them admitting they will never get over that, especially Alito. Honestly, I think the reason Thomas wrote the dissent is because Alito was incapable of resisting the verbalization of his anger over this. Question for the lawyers: when you heard the decision was 6-3, and before you saw the names, did any of you guess that the 3 would include anyone other than the 3 who did dissent? In other words, were you expecting a combination of anyone else? Clarence is the poster child for affirmative action. He's legitimately the very last being on this planet that has any business railing against that concept...which is exactly why he will do it.

Uncle Ruckus ain't retiring. Ever.

Honestly, at this point in history, I liken the Tech perspective on that whole matter to belief in the Easter Bunny. ”Daddy, Mike Leach locked a kid in an electrical room for 3 hours and his bosses said he had to apologize and he didn’t and he got suspended and he sued to get his job back for the bowl game then he got fired!!!” ”Sure sure, Timmy. Chocolate bunnies and colored eggs.”

It wasn’t a both sides issue, and I’ve yet to see a single person that “forgets” Leach was suspended first. What people do forget to use is the word “wrongfully.” As in “Mike Leach was wrongfully suspended and subsequently wrongfully fired.” Yes, there are certain defenders of the faith in Kent Hance and Craig James’ provably false make believe and pretend bedtime stories that do indeed forget to use that word. But that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Sports bring out the stupid in everyone. After all, there are still people who believe in Mike Nifong.

What's also been coming out of Crenshaw's feeble mouth is that this fantastic, movie-style rescue effort he's describing could have been accomplished "no later than Wednesday morning." Folks, I'd hate to be the bearer of shitty news, even to a degenerate scumbag like Crenshaw, but that vessel had already imploded well prior to Wednesday morning. Even if Biden/the Navy/the Coast Guard deployed vessels right at the timing of the loss of contact with the mother ship, nothing could be done. This was a ridiculous endeavor made by rich idiots with their stupid toys. They were warned years in advance that the safety of the vessel was inadequate, and the response to it was: "You know, at some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed, don't get in your car, don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk-reward question." But you do you, Danny. Never miss an opportunity to turn an apolitical something into a political something and (predictably) blame the Democrats for something over which they had no control.

So fun fact: The confederacy lasted about as long as Milli Vanilli. Seriously, that’s this wonderful “heritage” they love to scream about like frustrated little school kids when they’re not pretending to be tough by ostracizing trans kids that play sports.

As opposed to moderate Karens?

BUT FETTERMAN!!!

And according to Trump’s earlier bizarre admissions, they pay in cash

Trump’s lawyers on FoxNews=WWE CM Punk Trump’s lawyers in court=UFC CM Punk

Necro bump: Yeah, Lauren’s mother is/was a lying whore (shocking I know). Of course it does explain why poor Lauren is so easily given to conspiracy theories: the fucking bullshit is genetic.

They'll look like Portland did in the WCF of '99

I would love to send this to Nifong https://www.highlandparklacrosse.org/news_article/show/1273128
