    To be fair, Mike was old enough to be our Dad then anyway. That was back in my conservative era, but always had a great deal of respect for Tigar.
  2. Well, to a certain extent, a college campus can be pretty self-contained and the city/locale becomes a bit less of a factor. Therefore, schools in crappy locales may not be ideal, but they will still be able to recruit. Probably by selling that the campus is self-contained, whether actually true or not.
  3. Directed by SSGT John Martin, E Co., 2d Bn., 506 PIR, 101st Airborne Divison, USA. He's actually had a fairly illustrious directing career.
  4. Unfortunately, he's a Princeton grad and as a "non-woke' Hollywood type, will carry Homan's nutsack (NB it is not large but extremely saggy) and Barbie's makeup case around and occasionally appear on camera with them.
  5. The problem is TikTok, I'd suggest. It seems to be the dumbest social media that doesn't constantly pump disinformation.
  6. Well, when the economy goes to shit and it's all his fault, he can retract the tariffs. And, it is still possible the Federal Circuit and SCOTUS undo all these emergency tariffs.
  7. Well, bicameral legislature and electoral college are issues. As is the failure to delineate executive power. But three branches that check each other and judicial review are pretty standard good things.
  8. Is that a second time? IIRC UH threatened to sue her. ETA: apparently, they did not sue her, but took her and her surgery center off their approved list, which is hitting hard. https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-a-surgeon-facing-retaliation
  9. Grimy little pimp.
  10. How so? That's a pretty factual analysis.
  11. https://www.lecturiels.org/lecturiel/2489.pdf He knelt down, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and spread it over Francis Macomber’s crew-cropped head where it lay. The blood sank into the dry, loose earth. Wilson stood up and saw the buffalo on his side, his legs out, his thinlyhaired belly crawling with ticks. “Hell of a good bull,” his brain registered automatically. “A good fifty inches, or better. Better.” He called to the driver and told him to spread a blanket over the body and stay by it. Then he walked over to the motor car where the woman sat crying in the corner. “That was a pretty thing to do,” he said in a toneless voice. “He would have left you too.”
  12. Intel's newish CEO is a Malaysian-American, so not Chinese. He was CEO of Cadence when they got busted for selling chip design software to Chinese entities in violation of export restrictions. He's also a VC/hedgie that has invested in Chinese companies. So, hard to tell if a quasi-legitimate rant or not. A bit more rational than a lot of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lip-Bu_Tan
  13. Really good piece breaking down Gabbard's bullshit on Obama, Comey, et al, https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/from-russian-interference-to-revisionist-innuendo--what-the-gabbard-files-actually-say
  14. 76. 999 million people have no idea what it means.
  15. But where is Mad Mike Hoare?
  16. The defunding of the CPB provoked me to noodle around pbs.com which led me to two American Experiences worth watching. The Gilded Age https://www.pbs.org/video/the-gilded-age-nun3cr/ and Nazi Town, USA, about the German American Bund https://www.pbs.org/video/nazi-town-usa-y4vqkt/ What we're seeing today is not entirely new, in America.
  17. Actually, I think the framework is pretty good. The drafting is often poor and the itemization of powers, particularly Article II, needs reworking.
  18. Yeah it really isn't history that's been unkind to the Jews, it's been their contemporaries. Unless history to you is conspiracy theories about blood libel and the Rothschilds.
  19. What's a Cat Peer? I duckduckgo'ed and got a bunch of articles on cat urination?
  20. The guy that got his ass kicked by a couple of teenagers was Big Balls Edward Coristine. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/trump-threatens-federal-takeover-dc-crime/6360126/ https://apnews.com/article/washington-dc-crime-assault-doge-05aaaeb09d106ca1af673b46e89d60e1
  21. I didn't say can't change em. You quite could, but it would be expensive. Most lawdogs and certainly most of their clients would love that. But, the justice system was operating well within longstanding norms when it couldn't secure a final, indisputable conviction in four years or less, assuming all available appeals are taken. As long as a conviction was subject to appeal, MAGA was never going to believe it would stick, and even if SCOTUS had denied cert on everything, it would have been some weaponization TDS conspiracy bullshit. But it gets back to brisket's philosopher's dilemma. We have one party and their demagogue that wants to shred the social contract, particularly as pertains to the rule of law, and the rest of us that hope for survival of and a return to norms. How much should we rip the contract and destroy the norms in order to return to them?
  22. Well, as far as I can tell, it was always insurgent groups that may or may not have been supported by Rwanda, and not Rwanda itself, that was warring with Congo. Seems this is more of the same. I guess Rwanda could get up on some Ugandans, but the "war" seemed to be a proxy war that Rwanda may be content to leave be.
  23. Look! He's in Joe's garage with a bunch of classified documents!
  24. Well, there's a bit of an intervening cause here, really a superseding cause: the motherfucker got re-elected. Which points to the other huge problem, none of this would have made a shit anyway.
