  1. We’re now actively abandoning our position of helping people around the world that desperately need our assistance and intervention. People will start to die because Elmo is getting revenge on a government agency that he has a grudge against. Screw the people who chose this. The thing I care most about in life is doing good for others. Everything else is a distant second. Seeing this just really, really makes me even angrier with those cretins who voted for this. The simpleton morons that chose this path decided that harming others is the way to go. All 77 million plus of them hopefully lose everything they hold dear in life. What happened to Job would be too good for them.
  2. This sounds good, especially for Williams as he is freed from basketball purgatory. If AD is going to get the nickname street clothes then what does Williams get? Davis played in 71 percent of the games he could have been a part of for the Lakers. Williams has played in about 40 percent of the games he could have suited up in for the Hornets.
  3. Not the best idea to give an extremely impulsive narcissist control it seems.
  4. Yes. They are an insanely dumb lot of people. I think that they should be shipped to Gaza and the families that have been displaced by this war should get to take their place.
  5. One of the things I am extremely hesitant to do is put a Nazi label on just anything. Overusing that diminishes what it means in my opinion. /Stephen A. voice activated HOWEVAH, what will eventually happen is the children born in this country that are deemed to have Autism or other things that cause some severe developmental disabilities. You can put children with Downs Syndrome in this group as well. What I am alluding to here was something from Nazi Occupied Europe that happened in Vienna. It was at the Vienna Children’s Hospital. A young doctor there had been one of the early pioneers in the research and identification of children that shared some common traits that would eventually be called autism. He was a fierce advocate for the children and thought that with the right education and opportunities that they could function as a normal part of society in most cases. Funny thing happened with that guy. As almost every other doctor, psychiatrist and psychologist fled Europe in the mid 1930’s, he stayed behind to continue his work in Vienna. He would never officially join the Nazi party, but as time passed his views on these children changed and their most fierce advocate turned on them and thanks to the meticulous record keeping of the Nazis, we have a record of his transformation on paper. That doctor was a man by the name of Hans Asperger. If you have wondered why the term Asperger’s Syndrome has disappeared from the lexicon this book might help you understand. I read it and it killed me. I just about became apoplectic with my current boss for using the term due to his own ignorance of the history of Asperger. I do not think a single one of you will make it through it without the room getting dusty several times. This is thoroughly researched and is so important to me for reasons I have previously shared. If you eliminate educational opportunities for children like these who depend upon public school programs that offer special education, you turn your back on our most vulnerable. Those lights out in front of the old building? A marker for every child who died in that hospital during the occupation. Over 800 in all. Most starved and labeled to have died from pneumonia instead. Read that book and read what the survivors in it said they saw. Read it and let it sink in because if a man entrusted to care for those who had no advocate can turn on them then so can Americans.
  6. Don’t you dare insult such a good dish like that!
  7. We’re coming up on three years now of this invasion of Ukraine. To put that in perspective imagine if this were December 7th, 1941. Now think of all that transpired by that same date in 1944. Kinda frames it better for all Ukraine has had to deal with in three years time. That Ukraine has held on this long speaks to their resolve in the face of an onslaught from a country that does not value the lives of its citizens. It continues to throw away hundreds of thousands of them in an effort to bleed Ukraine dry.
  8. If they go up into the mountains to do that then all the restaurants near A-Basin, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Breck and Vail are screwed. Imagine that’d severely hurt Winter Park and Granby as well. I worked with some really amazing people up there years ago and this would definitely affect some good people doing jobs that white people simply refuse to do. This is all just so very, very dumb. One shot at life and this is how these people in positions of power are using theirs.
  9. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/zelensky-tucker-carlson-putin-russia-b2692257.html
  10. I saw that Lee Zeldin not only is running the EPA, but that three Democrats voted for him in committee. That is Fetterman (LOL) and the two senators from Arizona. Not cool on their part to vote for this worthless traitor and I don’t care about political implications where they reside. YOU DON’T VOTE FOR A TRAITOR. To recap this is a guy that attempted to run for governor of NY and failed. Amidst his failure, his white supremacist supporters out in Suffolk County on Long Island attempted to turn in 13000 duplicate signatures to get him on a third line on the ballot. That is, you guessed it, election fraud. https://kathyhochul.com/press_release/memo-lee-zeldins-election-fraud-scandal/ He also was one of the traitors in congress that voted to not certify Biden’s election. This guy now has a prominent national post governing the environment. Just an incredible time to be alive.
  11. Not one dime he received is going towards a library. He can specifically say the money is going towards buying him his first big boy book to read about a cat and a hat and he is still pocketing it and sending it to Russia to pay off his debts.
  12. This is early 1920’s Italy. It took 20 years, a sitting king who did not like him, the Greek misadventure that ended with the Wehrmacht having to bail out the 3rd world level Italian Army and a populace that got sick of Il Duce before he was deposed. We quite literally have Mussolini with a dash of Japanese flavored nationalism from that era thrown together with your typical idiot white racists at the controls. Anyone expecting this to end quickly or peacefully might want to reassess this current national crisis.
  13. What a slacker. Tom Thibodeau would have played him 48 minutes a night in the playoffs. I don’t have any issue with his build other than staying healthy. If you can be like Jokic and look like someone on the court at a 24HRFitness, but still produce at the level of a Hall of Famer, then who cares. Just get out there and do your thing. This is entirely different from Zion who shows zero ability to stay in shape (Which his body day is telling him he needs to weigh less to stay on the court) or be on the court.
  14. Of course Lee Zeldin got a spot in this farce. A stone cold loser that New York did not want so here he is now on a national level stage being the same clown he was before.
  15. According to your GM he guards the other team’s 2 guard. I’m shocked that a SG might be guarding a SG on the other end. You have a GM worse than Sam Hinkie. Magnitudes worse. Trying to tell you that you will enjoy Christie when your franchise just got shipped out is no solace. I quit on a pro team in the NFL about a dozen years ago and just stopped following the sport. Had a bunch more free time in the fall that I have enjoyed ever since.
  16. There’s that as well, and you’re not gonna believe this, but it will not benefit American families and businesses. I know I can’t believe this either. Job losses, cost of goods going into the stratosphere for millions of households and the rich get shielded from the brunt of it. This is all just so dumb.
  17. As I am sure has been stated several times in this thread, tariffs are not good for the American consumer. Inflation will creep higher and higher and your purchasing power will decrease. Only the wealthy will not see any real change in what they buy. The average American household will be taking it up the backside for years because this is how garbage like this inevitably works. Good luck to those of you with kids because they just got a whole lot more expensive to feed and take care of.
  18. Face-punching emoji needs to be added.
  19. The alarm, while the right thing to do, will change nothing right now or anytime soon. The alarm should have been his election in 2016, not that he got his old grift back 8 years later and has now got a whole cadre of racist morons and grifters joining him for the sequel.
  20. Anything he creates that involves money is being created to benefit him monetarily. The name he gives it or whatever he says it does is irrelevant. It’s a grift and this is easily recognizable to anyone not in the death cult. To the death cult though this sounds like a brilliant idea from their god king.
  21. The law no longer matters. It only matters insomuch as when the orange god king says it matters. Outside of that it’s all just words on paper, much like our Constitution at the moment.
  22. AD would’ve been good enough to keep it within 35 at the half.
  23. I just listened to Harrison talk for five minutes. He spent the better part of a month trying to trade Luka to LA. He also does not sound like someone who should be a shift manager at McDonald’s, much less a General Manager of an NBA team not based in Charlotte.
  24. The Lakers need to acquire a center. Robert Williams would make sense with Doncic as his PG. My best guess is they get him.
  25. @Sbbruin is enjoying a nice vacation right now. I would imagine if he had heard about this trade on the ski slopes that he probably would have hit a tree. One of my two best friends lives in Dallas and is a Lakers fan. He almost drove off the road when his wife told him what happened. My other best friend is a life-long Mavs fan. I am a few hours behind him and he was asleep. I told him to check the texts I sent him when I finally got a hold of him. He looked at them and said “well glad that the Mavs decided to start over again. I’m going back to sleep and pretending this trade didn’t happen when I wake up.”
