This thread moves so damn fast, so nsiap ...

Yeah this is what Popok was talking about in the video I posted earlier.

nsiap ... Former DHS secretary Jeh Johnson worked a lot with Tom Homan and says that he doesn't recognize the Tom Homan he sees speaking publicly now. He says he would never ask an agent to seperate a U.S. citizen child and from their parents, calling that an inhumane policy. He stressed that criminals & national security threats should be the top priority, and that there are more than enough of them in our jails right now "to keep ICE very, very busy.

Yeah this makes sense with what I've been seeing with the poor passing. I just didn't know how much of the setting inaccuracy to attribute to the poor passes, and I haven't seen enough action and stats with each setter to know how much better or worse the offense was running with either of them. I do see Avery making her fair share of poorly located sets, often too tight with hitters really reaching or just having to tip, but that's been happening with both setters. She also seems to struggle with consistency setting the middle. Yeah it's hard for me to get my head around winning a NC with a freshman setter who's playing hurt, and then demoting her for a smaller setter who puts you in a bind on the block half the time. If the offense worked well enough to win it all with an injured Ella setting from the ground, then let her set from the ground all the time. Hell, Avery's jumpsets probably aren't coming from a much higher point than Ella's flatfooted sets anyway. If we lose Ella and Devin over this shit, that will not be cool.

Awesome. Just started it on MAX.

How do we know who wrote it? Not doubting you. I wanna use this on another board.

Says it's disabled here. Is he in the UK, or where? Asking for my vpn ...

Yeah I just don't get it. Out of the 3 options (6-2 ... 5-1 w/Ella ... 5-1 w/Carlson) it seems like 5-1 with Carlson should be the least attractive option. Ella gives you a much better block in the 5-1. What am I missing here? Is Ella setting the ball that poorly compared to Avery? If not, I struggle to see why Ella would be relegated to the bench. Someone help me make sense of this, please!

nsiap ... For the last few days, whenever I click the play button here on imbedded youtube videos, I get a message saying I need to sign in to verify I'm not a spam bot - but I'm already logged in both on YT and on the surl, so I can't play the video in the surly post. Pretty weird. Never seen it before. I tried loggong out and back into YT, but I still get the same shit. I was on the Cloak Room when I first noticed this happening. If I copy the video link and then open it in a new tab, it works fine. Weird. ETA: Chrome, on a windows laptop.

Love this Popok dude ... Here he delves into lawful orders, unlawful orders, court challenges, and how military leaders might respond or push back against unlawful ones.

Fantastic video. It's like Frank is inside my head. I mean ... almost word for word. Thanks for posting.

Yep. You might be onto something there. I think that might qualify as norms being thrown out the window.

McConaughey & fam on the DKR sidelines today, taking photos arm in arm with Hinchcliffe and the Undertaker ...

Alonso looked pretty rough getting out of the car in Brazil, and requested a check by the medical team. The bouncing he talked about was nuts ....

nsiap ... So this is a thing now. 😡 Racist texts about slaves and ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people as state AGs, colleges and police probe their origins https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/07/us/racist-text-messages-post-election/index.html

Yep. My 20 yo sent me this today, from Bernie Sanders in 2003, talking to h.s. students about the ways the Republican party divides and conquers in order to sell things like gutting SS and Medicare. It coulda been recorded yesterday, except Bernie is a lot younger there. I never voted for the guy, but an idiot, he is not. He laid it out so crystal clear for those kids. Good video imho.

My man. Couldn't find a "Hey now" gif, which is shocking imho, so I'll just go with the "I am Hank Fucking Kingsley" gif.

Yeah I took this one harder than any other loss by the candidate I voted for since 1984 ... and it's not even close.

nsiap ... hint: It's not all jokey-jokey. He followed this with 2 segments with the Pod Save America guys. Good stuff.

Yep. He could say in front of a national audience that he's gonna kill all of us, but he'd kill the white people & his supporters last, and his supporters would just cheer him on.

Yep. I frequently remind my boys that even though we don't make a lot of money, we have a house that's paid for and everything we need, and we have the luxury to take lots of trips to all kinds of awesome places that most people can't believe. In other words, a great many people in the world would gladly trade places with us or most Americans. So many of the people who think they have it so bad in this country just have no fucking idea.

Hey, anyone know of a video clip for that? I could definitely use it in a discussion on another board.

I mean ... it worked pretty well for Trump.

Yeah I went to bed around 3:30 or so. Still couldn't sleep. Last time I looked at my phone it was 4:45am. I've never taken a presidential election loss like this. This one is very, very different. I see America very differently now than I did yesterday morning.
