THis sounds like Rush wrote it.
Rush is what Jonny Carson is to late night and Jon Stewart is to comedy-news. He invented it. Rush created a political industry, all without any help from the DC-NY axis.
Carson made a generation laugh late at night.
Stewart got a generation of people to laugh by pointing out the lunacy of elected officials through the use of humor.
Limbaugh got millions of Americans to hate their fellow human beings because of skin color and country of origin. There is no humor here. Just a legacy of anger, bitterness and profiteering off of hatred of those deemed lesser than that no self-respecting individual would want to be the mark they left upon the world. He had an opportunity to spend the final year of his life trying to right the wrongs he committed, but he chose hate and stuck with it to the end.Â

I would say LOL but it isn’t funny at all. Shit like this is why I have started leaning more left the last 2 years and I hate saying that. Jk not really but kind of
I think what you find is that if you are more in tune with what you hear from someone that would be categorized as being a left-leaning person then you are probably finding out something positive about yourself. I do not like to use right vs. left that much when I talk to folks. I categorize it as decent human beings who genuinely care about others versus those that do not. It is not an easy thing to digest hearing it put like that for a lot of people, but sometimes you just have to level with folks and tell them how their actions towards others are isolating and alienating them from the rest of the populace.Â

I left the state for reasons not related to politics, but looking back I am okay with being where I am now. I am from Texas, but I will never live there again no matter what political party controls the state.
ÂI personally find the Texas exceptionalism attitude to be just as out of touch and divisive domestically as the American exceptionalism attitude comes across abroad to both friends and foes. We are all just people trying to make it in this world and differentiating what person or group of people is worth more based on where they are from is an attitude that needs to be retired permanently. Just way too much toxicity in thinking in such terms about our fellow human beings.Â

Yeah that seems like bullshit. I know the Panhandle has snow blows, and I'd imagine NE Texas does too.
I wanted to see if I could find out if that was actually Texarkana by zooming in on a business sign in that video. I googled the sign that said Tri-State Auto Sales and that is legit also because of the street location for the business. I am guessing someone flew a drone overhead to get that footage.

This sums up how I feel about his death. I am not going to celebrate it. I understand the feelings of people who are glad this day finally came because of a lifetime spent saying the absolutely most hateful things he could think of. I believe I commented some months ago that he had an opportunity to right some of the wrongs of his life once he received his diagnosis. Instead he doubled down on hate.Â

Wal-Mart was closed today in my hometown in Texas according to my mother. HEB, however, was open for business. They had a wait, but my brother was able to get what he needed for the family. I was down there last month and had not been in an HEB in almost six years. I walked around the store for awhile just to remember how good they are. They put a Wegman’s in Brooklyn and while it is cool I would still gladly take an HEB every single day of the week.

THAT IS AWESOME! This is such great news to read about. I hope that she makes a full recovery and I am doubly glad to read in that message about the outpouring of support the family has received. People have it in them to be kind when they see a hurt child and a family in pain. Thank God she is awake now.Â

Can his wife run for something too?
Â
I have heard her speak once and it was after she was recounting being yelled at in a grocery store by a Death cult member who recognized her and knew who her husband was. It was ridiculous, but she handled it as well as could be imagined under the circumstances. She seems pretty intelligent from what little I know about her. If she ran for her husband’s spot I believe she’d win.

I'm not even interested in going that far, necessarily, but I am over the fucking moon at the 2A freakout that's gonna hit the wire tomorrow. Oh hell yes. We're gonna get the guns.
Guns have not been a part of much of my life and I have little personal interest in them, but time to push legislation through on this with or without the members of the death cult. The time that they used to take advantage of in order to stall legislation is over. Let's get this ball rolling and get something signed into law. Then onto whatever the next item on the list is and so on and so forth. Just keep those bills coming at a rapid fire pace.

I think this is where the narcissism really kicks in. Â
It is the overriding theme of his life. If he is not afflicted with NPD then there is no one that has it. I think that combined with whatever trauma his father inflicted upon him as a child really made him into what he became. He's still a monster that tried to overthrow our elected government though. Nothing changes what he did on January 6th. The ensuing fallout from those actions that have continued to empower the death cult to stay together and feel like they are back on good footing is something he should wear around his neck like a millstone.

My favorite player growing up was Dan Majerle and I’m a Spurs fan. Why? Don’t know.Â
Thunder Dan Majerle! He was, for whatever reason, fun to watch. He always looked like he had just spent the day tanning at a pool before coming to the arena. He could play though. Found this about one of my favorite video games from back in the day.Â
QuoteI'd only play as the Suns, as if being another team would somehow trigger the Apocalypse. NBA Live 95 featured the 1993-94 roster (minus Charles Barkley due to licensing issues). It was rare that I controlled someone other than Kevin Johnson, but when I did it was Dan Majerle. With seemingly unlimited range - not unlike real life - as soon as Thunder Dan crossed halfcourt I felt he was open and shooting the ball would be a good idea. Because NBA Live 95 is awesome, most times the gamble paid off.

I like your spunk but three bills, the maximum amount of bills that could pass through reconciliation, is a far cry from a "whole bunch of bills".Â
Or do you think the Dems nuke the filibuster?
The filibuster is a tool that has outlived any useful purpose. I am in favor of it going away. The death cult can vote in favor of bills that will better the lives of constituents on both sides of the aisle or they can needlessly try to stall this country’s ability to move forward. Bi-partisan legislation happens when you have two sides willing to come to an agreement where both get some of what they want. When one side has zero interest, and we can all say quite clearly that the death cult party does not want to budge an inch on legislation because of Trump, I am okay with skipping right past the death cult and their never-ending stream of negativity, anger, and storefront racism in order for things to get done. I want so many bills passed that while they are ranting and raving on Twitter, or one of the propaganda channels about the latest bill they are spewing hatred for, another bill is being passed and signed into law to help the country go forward.Â

One of my trump spunk junky friends sent me a derka style rant about how Biden is already the worst president ever, he has no covid plan, he’s just piggybacking off Trumps plan(no, seriously. He said that.). Made fun of Jen Psaki, and even said Ken Paxton was perfect for border security and a lot of other crazy stuff. I just laughed. Makes me extremely happy he’s this fucking pissed off. Let’s ram left wing policies down these cocksuckers throats. Don’t like it? They could move. At least that’s what they’ve told me the last 4 yearsÂ
I think we are going to see a whole bunch of bills passed in short order now that the 2nd impeachment trial is done. It will be nice to see a functioning government that will skip right past the part of said government that wants to derail what President Biden said he would do. Time to really ramp up vaccine production and get the public vaccinated because COVID has taken more than enough of our fellow Americans. Passing the stimulus whether a single member of the death cult votes for it should be right at the top of the list and then pass a comprehensive infrastructure bill so we can get a whole bunch of Americans back to work across the country. There is a lot of other important legislation that needs to be brought into law, but those would be a good start.

The Lakers trailed by 20 at one point tonight against Memphis and won by 10. Dillon Brooks poked the bear, a bear that was going at about half speed in the first half, and FAAFO what happens when you do that. James said something to him after every shot he hit from near the end of the 3rd until he left the game. He had three shots in a row where he was playing a game of horse against himself. It was one of the more humorous sequences I have watched this season from anyone.

I thought there was something weird with that when I tried it. Like they aren’t real episodes or something.They're there. I watched two of the three thus far. Seeing the character development of Bright and Thursday in these two episodes has been interesting to watch, among other things.Â

Surprising that Steph and Klay never did this, but I suppose a game like that would have been too out of hand for it to get to that point.
Â
Good on them for pulling that off! After watching LaVine look like vintage  Jordan this year in the first game against my guys it is not surprising he went off. This won’t be the last pair of teammates to do it. I would expect great shooting nights between teammates to become much commonplace with how the rules are as well as guys that can just shoot better. Players have evolved their games and we get to witness that with a performance like this one. I think it’s cool to see the evolution of the game and how it has changed for the better in most aspects.Â

If someone had told me the Purple and Gold would be 20-6 at this point in the season I would have been more than happy for that to be their record. I believe we have the most talented roster this year, but with the new schedule featuring back-to-back games against the same team I figured that would be a hindrance to the overall record. Other teams are definitely having issues with it. Knock on wood with COVID not really having sidelined anyone yet. I figure it is coming at some point unless there is a league wide vaccination that takes place down the line. I don’t advocate for the players to get to skip the line as there are many millions of people who direly need it before they do. It seems somewhat inevitable for it to hit the Lakers at some point this season since we still do not have a grip on COVID yet as a country.

The Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated near Tehran in November was killed by a one-ton gun smuggled into Iran in pieces by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, according to a report by The Jewish Chronicle on Wednesday.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-scientist-idUSKBN2AA2RCSo that accounting sounds about right to me. I do not endorse what the mossad did here, but when the United States abdicates any real responsibility for what takes place around the world this happens. What I personally believe is the same sentiment that others could say about their program though. Are they undertaking a nuclear project for peaceful means? Yes I believe they are, BUT it is because having a nuclear weapon acts as a deterrent to ever being the possible target of bombs from a foreign adversary. They were not undertaking their program for energy purposes. I think we all know that. I would say that North Korea developing the bomb, as well as having China as a neighbor, has put up a deterrent to there being war again on the Korean Peninsula. That would be the closest similar circumstance I can bring up at the moment. It does not mean I think Kim Jong Un should be in power, he clearly should be at The Hague for crimes committed against humanity, but we can see what a nuclear weapon does in regards to how a country is negotiated with versus those who do not possess one.
I also personally believe that Iran has a lot of positive things to offer to the world. They have an almost unmatched history that goes very near to the core of human civilization. Their contribution to science, mathematics and history is extraordinary. The Iranian people, at least those I have known over the years, are jovial and good human beings. I think that we as a world should be far more inclusive instead of exclusive. Bringing Iran fully into the fold of the modern world, that means having good relations with the United States and others at the moment, is a net positive for all involved. As a species we could do so much better and should be striving to do better.Â

His own words over the entirety of his tenure as a senator show someone who will say whatever he has to in order to get what he wants. He is not changing now and no one should believe a word he says on anything. Lying to achieve his personal goals is ingrained in his DNA at this point.

If you are going to throw out something incendiary like that it is incumbent on you to prove your assertion.Â
