    I’m not aligned with him politically and am against ignoring sexual assault, but his office was extraordinarily responsive when I had an issue with the VA. They quickly identified and solved the problem and communicated clearly the entire time. My experience with getting help with the VA from other congressional offices has been very negative. 

    That doesn’t excuse some of his poorer traits, but he seems to run an efficient and responsive office.

    Thanks, that actually is an important service that Congressmen should provide.

    Still doesn't answer why tjhooker thinks he's one of the better Congressmen.

  2. Listen, @bad_teammate, this is a complicated situation and I actually do see the logic in both sides of the end result positions. But that's a lot more complicated topic I don't have time for right now. What I do have time for is to tell you that if you spell it Columbian just one more time I'm going to have to neg you. I mean the irony of someone arguing in favor of Latin American self-governance with zero American intervention but then spelling it Columbian instead of Colombian is rich as hell and I enjoy it, but enough is enough.

    Have a blessed day.

    What it would have you believe is Hillary Clinton is not president (SEE: Thread title). She used/uses the liberal left as part of her get rich quick scam, it worked, pretty well.  Emotionally driven idiots that they are.

    Uh...

    I assumed I'd have to  find a new message board when I created the thread.  :)

    So far it looks like the most popular reaction to a coordinated campaign against a major religion in America is that 'Christians deserve ridicule".  

    So what do you have to say about how you were completely wrong regarding the reaction? Do you think your incredible misread of a segment of society and being completely wrong about their intentions and beliefs might be relevant to your thread idea here?

  5. Two of the most repped posts here totally twist Johnny Sack’s words around. Sack is totally correct. 
    I guess that depends on which contradictory post you're talking about.
    If someone had their retirement wiped out by Enron that means they were stupid and greedy.
    That sucks and was not his fault.
    All those Arthur Anderson partners near retirement took a nice butt fucking too.
  6. Great pivot moves ending in a left-handed shot? At that weight? Yeah, this is one of our lowest-ranked recruits.
    Needs to trust his drop step more. Had an easy layup if he followed through with the first move. Definitely not a 5 star basketball recruit. Do not want.
  7. Just wanted to note that we flagged the “hmmm....something smells about this one” back around post 76 (I read the first info about the victims and posted about it, Lat followed with his concerns not long after). Historically, we’re not too bad at sniffing bullshit like this out. Hell, see how the initial reaction to the Jussie Smollett report around here was “yeah, that sounds fishy AF.” Pretty decent bullshit detectors around these parts, when we deploy them objectively.

    Most of us have always deployed it objectively. The UVA Rolling Stone story had bullshit called on it within 20 posts IIRC. There was arguing on that thread only because a couple of posters intentionally turn their bullshit detectors off when it comes to sexual assault claims.

     

  8. We'd have to remodel the bathrooms.
    Not joking, btw. The rumour back when he was at KU was that their athletic department spent ~5 grand on custom plumbing to install an industrial-grade bidet that could hold his weight in the coaches' restroom.
    Your general pessimism and negativity is one thing, but I've had about enough of your British spellings here lately, sir. You are on notice.
  9. He hates us. VY SO. Year, they had us beat just about and a 3 rd down Offensive PI Gave us the ball back. Rest is history, 4th and 16 conversion etc..etc..  he blasted the conf saying we were given the game. 
    Yes, we all know the story. VY made sure Mangino paid his penance the next year.

    Oscar De La Hoya probably had more coke on him when this pic was taken than was found in the house on Harding Street. 

    And he's still by far the most trustworthy and honorable man in the picture.

  11. Not sure how much sense that makes given that they didn't find any heroin in the house. I'm not much of a drug trade expert, but wouldn't they almost certainly have a decent amount if they're dealers?

  12. It just seems selfish to surprise people with information they may not want after all these years. Suppose your father had been one of her 2 living sons and suppose he had a wife and kids. That news could break up a marriage and destroy a family. And for what purpose?

     

    Obviously it's selfish because it's based on self-interest. But it's also absolutely not wrong.

     

    None of us chose to be born. However, the vast majority of births were because a man and woman chose to have sex. Once you make that decision and a human being results then tough shit if that human someday wants to know more about their personal and genetic history. The child didn't force you to get your dick wet.

     

    There are of course rare cases where the pregnancy was due to rape or where the revelation could carry a significant risk of abuse or violence. But that still doesn't make it wrong for a child to seek out their history.

  13. Well they certainly weren't better than the 1942 team but for some reason that team didn't play Westlake.

    Combination of down Westlake teams and well above average Austin High teams. Probably accurate to call them great teams on the Austin High scale.

    According to Maxpreps you are correct. In 2007 they won 27-24.

    Ha, forgot it was back to back. Austin High's 2007 quarterback was Josh Page, not sure who Westlake's was. But that does mean another Westlake Super Bowl winner had a loss to the Maroons (Justin Tucker).
