Willfully Horn

I appreciate the correction, and will not deny your characterization.

There are a select few humans I hope never to meet and face the decision whether to end their lives. I am talking about a spontaneous circumstance. This pendenjo is on my list.

Yes. Being aware of what was going on, and having the ability to say so, was her motivation; not pain,

You, amiga, are a true patriot.

My MIL (89 years) says she prays someone with excellent aim will step up.

Your first sentence is almost completely true. Not suggesting this was avoidable.

SIL arrived on schedule for her procedure last month. The anesthesiologist did not. No big deal. The gastro team went all in on fentanyl, and scoped her pipes anyway. She only had to ask twice for more drug.

Why, indeed it was. The Brits tossed it aside around the time anything associated with the US, (read Reagan,) was considered ill-bred, oafish, and uncultured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word)#:~:text=The term was in use,erroneously seen as an Americanism.

Well, it is British. I guess if we are comfortable with the terms gridiron and diamond, might as well allow the Tory’s their own fun. Pitch, as you know, first described a cricket field. Apparently you pitch those two stakes like you would pitch a tent. I love soccer. Loved playing it and now I love watching it. I regret y’all bring the cricket baggage along with the Euro-speak. https://onthepitch.org/2006/02/21/ever-wonder-why-its-called-a-pitch/

I swim laps as exercise. Over time, you get to know some of the other swimmers. Through one conversation, I learned the powers that be are putting mRNA vaccines into the nation’s vegetable and meat food supplies. Imagine my surprise,

Thanks, but no. Your wife needed the whole box to wipe up. For someone who likes to criticize others for their short attention span, you easily forget history when any chance to erode bedrock presents itself.

Never pass on the chance to foment division, amirite? LOL on the thought that fundamentalists would criticize Israel.

I guess I willfully have held out hope the legal system had balls; at least a sliver of respect for the cojones of Lincoln, circa 1861..

Right. I must have missed the legal discussions which explain why the American people have no right to expect answers to the existential legal questions that arose 1537 days ago.

Without diminishing the classified document aspect of tfg’s legal baggage, I am much more interested in Smith’s prosecutions regarding Jan 6. Those crimes, should he be convicted of them, would (to a rational observer,) erase his claim to hold office. Cannon is fodder for legal discussion, sure. But, eyes on the prize, folks. Is Smith able to get a jury’s decision before the election?

Isis is claiming responsibility. Only fools, or worse, woke Moderna borgs, fail to accept the absolute vacuum within which Isis schemes. Correlation is not causation. https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/moscow-russia-shooting-03-23-24/index.html

Put some thought tonight to the MAGA premise, focused solely on Texas. What would it take to make Texas great again? What are the glory years I would like to see again? For me, and I acknowledge from the start my answer is merely a data point, those years were my formative years. The 70s. Texas had become part of the modern era, it offered, as it always has, opportunity, resources, and elbow room. It wasn’t, by any stretch, ideal, due to its baggage, not to mention the corruption of the political party holding the reins. But, in the 70s, Texas did the minimum to look towards the future and it abided, nominally, to the structure of common understanding and law; that, to me, is the sweet spot. Texans elected folk who funded public projects, such as highways and schools. And it raised the money to get that done. Accessibility and opportunity were a source of state pride. There is no debate that we have swapped pride in our future, and our state, to political ends. For example, the cheapest way to design, build, and maintain state roads and highways is through the collective effort known as government. No question. No debate. The smartest way to honor our love for our land and it’s future. Get it done right, and don’t spend more than you must. There is no political will to so address Texas’ future. Too many people think they can use without giving something back. Fuck every last one of you ingrates. Take it from your wives and kids, there is a flaw in your soul. I was unable to find a source confirming the quote I have heard often, that Willie Nelson claimed he always knew when he had crossed the border back into Texas, for the highways were always smoother here. But I came across another Willie quote, where he claims the enduring reason he loves the Lone Star State is that there is no one in control. All you damaged goods voting to create such control, diaf with the knowledge that you are not one of us. I you are no Texan.

Taking a break from the usual frottage, college Republicans employ their plan b, trolling, and book KR to speak in front of an auditorium. I suppose KR delivered his planned remarks. The first question asked of him was along the lines of why don’t you call out this right wing influencer for his racist spew. KR chose the stance of the flabbergasted. “What remarks?” The racist charge was supported by a fair number of examples. “I don’t know nothing about that,” KR responded. Well, now that you do know about that, will you call out those comments as racist, and therefore, unfuckingAmerican-ideal? “No comment.” Then came the fleeing of the trolls. (Which begs for an agreed upon signature tune). If KR et al are your people, then you are a straight up chump.

After weighing the pros and cons, I decided I am against baby organ harvesting. I would also be against shanghai organ harvesting, but the metal dimension carries weight, and the brains, hearts, and spines in that Drury Inn are not in use.

I, for one, am not surprised the royals have a surly handle. C’mon “wills” or Nowthis, or whatever, let your joestrang hang.

The Buddha got fat after he became enlightened.

Idgaf about the royals, except to wonder when they’ll be tried for killing Lady D.

The right has deluded itself for decades. It’s what they do and why they continue to believe Republicans are fiscally responsible and that the media is leftist.

Echoes “NATO forced Putin to invade Ukraine “logic.””

I’ve already shared my family history on this site, but this is a great thread. For all the ex-pats:
