    A Jew

    He changed it from Mitch Cumstein.
  2. He’s an absolute moron. This is definitely a simulation.
  3. Oh please, people like him, true narcisists, have zero clue about the "impression" of others, he thinks he came off as a strong competent leader. He's being sheltered from the backlash and probably doesn't even know people are out there talking about his comments in any sort of a negative light.
  4. There is zero chance he understood any part of that question (the one about reserve currency and protectionism).
  5. Dumb as shit but I'm not sure NIU and Toledo can turn down the revenue increase.
  6. I don't really distinguish between the two. The DEI conversation is also appropos. The entire republican party is of the opinion that DEI is bad, and the majority will always feel somewhere inside that minorities that suceed were because of affirmative action, etc. That's a huge percentage of people. If it was a small percentage, major corporations would just ignore them, but they are actively killing off their DEI programs, which itself tells you all you need to know about how widespread this shit is among the American population.
  7. There's some of that, but also plenty of people who genuinetly respect the dark skinned minority that made it to the board room or otherwise succeeded, but use it as evidence that institutional racism doesn't exist. If this guy made it, it just proves that the rest of "them," you know those on the north side, are just lazy and predisposed to being criminals/hoodlums/thugs/etc. In my experience, there's far more of that going on in Oklahoma. The "I have a Black friend/co-worker" form of racism.
  8. Oh I fully believe that at least 45% of the country is racist/sexist. Prior to 2016 it was much more subtle or just not said in mixed company because there was still some shame involved, but the 2016 election gave them the green light to be far more vocal. In Oklahoma, people sometimes comment on how "nice" people are, and you'll hear plenty of stories in Tulsa and OKC especially that gay people aren't openly harassed very often and you won't hear a lot of people yelling at Mexican's to "speak English" but the vast majority of people who live here harbor that hate and vote accordingly. At best, some of the 45% aren't racist/sexist but are okay electing those who are which is just as bad in my opinion.
  9. Since we're bitching about the media, this one is bullshit too. It refers to Harris questioning his "mental acuity." First, when Biden had his debate issues, the headlines were about his competency or whether he was "unfit" for office, the term "mental acuity" is much more benign. Second, the media itself was asking the questions about Biden's competency, this places the questions on his opponent, which is easy to brush off as just campaign rhetoric. Just because 70M people like his idiocy doesn't make it right, the media should be hammering him for being a complete idiot whose mush brain is far worse than any time over the last 9 years.
  10. Heroes. Keep hammering him until he has an aneurysm. Not firing McCarthy after that abomination of a playoff performance is the icing on the cake for his pathetic ass. He’s a full on piece of shit.
  11. Didn’t he come out like an hour later and backtrack saying he didn’t mean it that way and making clear that Rogan Luv Trump?
  12. Won’t Trump also do Rogan? I hope he publicly says that he’ll only do Rogan if he refuses to invite Harris and Rogan tells him to fuck off. I know he wouldn’t say it that way because he loves Trump but I could see him saying he’s not going to avoid Harris because Trump asked him to and makes him look like real pussy.
  13. I’ve only seen a few episodes but I think the host’s interview skills are the main reason the show is so popular. I was impressed.
  14. Only concern about Rogan is that she’ll have to correct him multiple times and we all know how that is perceived coming from a Black woman. I think he’ll push back a lot but even if he doesn’t again the very fact that a Black woman is correcting him could piss off his primary listener. I don’t think it would lose her any votes but I could see it inspiring some of his listeners who weren’t planing to vote to vote against her for any combination of racist or misogynist reasons. But she might also convince a few that she’s not the monster that dotard portrays. I honestly don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. I’ll trust their internal decision making I guess.
  15. So are yarn gifs just not compatible with Safari? Posted one from my laptop earlier and doesn’t show up now on my phone. Got two reactions so others are seeing it.
  16. Certainly in his wheelhouse, but why would they take the people there, then ask for payment, then not take them back? Ask for payment upfront and if they refuse tell them to fuckoff.
  17. Only hope is that whichever of the kids takes over, they don't have the same ego and need to micromanage and take credit for everything. I don't know enough about them to know if they would hire a GM and just bask in the money. That's what I would do.
  18. I thought I posted this before but couldn't find it in the thread. The review was clearly mixed. I think the author here is probably right, it praises Carmy as an obvious genius but criticizes the staff for failing to execute consistently, including with service. His concern is that he's going to have to address that the staff he's put together isn't good enough. Because they are key characters they aren't going to be fired, but there is going to be serious drama in how to make them better and he's going to struggle with how to do that without becoming a complete asshole like Joel McHale's character. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/28/nx-s1-5020609/the-bear-season-3-ending-finale-restaurant-review
  19. The roster's have been decent to good to really good over the years. It's why they've managed to win the East and make the playoffs far more than they should. The reason good coaches don't want to work for Jerry is because he wants credit for everything and has to be hammered over the head if the coach wants a player drafted that Jerry doesn't like, and they often seem to lose those arguments. It's why we get nothing but fat fucking retreads or guys in their fucking 80s hanging on. Those clowns couldn't win a title with Pat Mahomes because they are fucking losers who can't keep up with the game. Can you imagine how boring Mahomes would look if Jason Garrett had been in charge of his offense? JFC, just the same drop back nonsense that works sometimes and when it doesn't, no adjustments, because they are too stupid and lame to fight back.
  20. I did yard work all day. It stopped being appointment viewing several years ago. Up to even last year I usually listened to Babe and Brad but didn't even bother yesterday. Full meltdown felt inevitable. Oh well, fuck Jerry.
  21. Who fucking cares, once he loses, he's fucking done, and we can all move the fuck on. Let the republican party try to move past him, not our fucking problem anymore.
  22. I don’t see the base being as fired up this time since he’s not currently in office but Biden will definitely out the military on high alert to prevent another insurrection. Also more cameras to catch them all and lock them the fuck away.
