    I saw this resurrected thread at the top of the page, and I was looking to see if I'd already replied to it ("Final Cut" by Pink Floyd was going to be my reply). Scrolling down the first page, and I saw your comment that I missed in real time. Anyway, a belated thank you. I appreciate it a lot.

    This point has rarely been mentioned (what with all the high-level corruption, nepotism, and treason), but it's a legitimate grievance.

    I keep an am radio on in the garage just to hear what talking points Rush is delivering. And lately... holy shit. Joe Biden’s supporters are systematically murdering the entire police force, and Black Lives Matter are coming to kill the white people. Only Trump can save us. (It’s not even coded)

    Uppity?

    That's exactly how I read that quote. She never said she'd vote "no."

    Superb post (says the also-a-former-Republican). The 2016 election is still hard to wrap my head around. I think you could argue that Hillary was simultaneously the most qualified presidential candidate in history while also being the *only* candidate who could have lost to Trump. The Republicans did a brilliant job of identifying potential Democratic nominees and then demonizing them on a daily basis for literally decades ("Vince Foster!!!" "Benghazi!!!").

    That's what he does.

    You can say the same for McConnell and whoever he nominates. Hence my earlier comment that this is the event that lights the fuse.

    This is going to be the spark that ignites the powder keg

    WaPo has another pool boy story today. Says that when the media started running stories in 2019 questioning the whole bizarre relationship (including photos), Granda texted Becki that his life was ruined and he was contemplating suicide. She told him, “Stay off social media. It’s full of left wing nut jobs.” You could spend an hour unpacking all the hypocrisy and bullshit in that text, starting with the fact that newspapers are not “social media.” It reminded me of an exchange I had earlier this week, where several people were talking about the dangers of social media, and one guy says, “Thanks to social media, a lot of people now believe that Trump is a racist.” JFC

    Good Lord, the quickness of Collins... that's impressive.

    I'm a pretty avid college football fan, but I couldn't have told you the mascot of either Houston Baptist or Coastal Carolina before today...

    I mean, both the eyeballs and the stat sheet says he's our best returning player at maybe our thinnest position. And he seems like a great kid (and yes, I'm aware of the tweet).

    Those last two throws were shit throws by Sam. Eagles is gonna be fine. Ease up.

    What if that physicality happens "in space?"

    It will be interesting to see how the Lakers adjust, because outside of a brief sequence where they went to Davis 3 or 4 possessions in a row, it was hard to even tell what the fuck their offensive strategy was. Lot of standing around. Lot of floaters, off-balance drives, and low percentage shots. I'm sure they're capable of winning the series, but that was a pitiful second-round showing from a 1-seed.

    Wow. Spitting image.

    I won't talk you out of it on whichever thread you prefer.

    So you want us to be skeptical, except for when you present utter bullshit that makes no sense?
  21. Paul Wesley
    No. It didn't.

    So *HOW* does the bounty story undermine withdrawal efforts? It makes NO sense to me that anyone would have believed that such a story would make Americans and their representatives want to stay in Afghanistan (or escalate).

    I mean, at this point, it's so completely and totally cult-like, the Republican Party shouldn't even bother to come up with a platform of beliefs for 2020, and instead, they should just make a public statement that effectively says, "We don't have beliefs. We just support Trump."
  24. Paul Wesley
    You say this like it's a fact, and you've ignored requests to back up the claim. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you seem to want to cast doubt on: 1) Russians actually did offer bounties for killing Americans, And you seem to be offering a different explanation for the "bounty" story: 2) Certain American individuals, perhaps those who Eisenhower would have identified as a "military industrial complex," made up a story about Russians offering bounties, because they thought that once this story hit the American news media, it would create public and political pressure for America to **remain** in Afghanistan. And #2 makes no fucking sense. What am I missing?
