  1. Spread a little money around for protection.
  2. The Dred SCOTUS.
  3. They didn't look too happy about it at the Trumptastic Military Parade Birthday Party. I'm not betting they'll move, but it's not out of the question if Trump issues illegal orders which he will do.
  4. It's a war. We need the Army. Not better messaging.
  5. The NFL must sign players for more than a few years to get them. They pay for time beyond the athlete's prime to secure part of their prime career. Therefore, their salary pool will necessarily be invested in guys who must only be capable of standing around the bench. College players cycle quickly. Ewers' portion of a limited salary pool becomes free immediately. That seems to be a profound difference from the NFL. It's my understanding from those in the know around here that Texas worked to establish a sustainable level of funds. Rather than believing we burn out and see decline, isn't it more apt to see the level of talent and potential talent assembled at any given time will be typical? The only thing that changes are the names. Further, I don't know shit about any of this. Maybe my premises above are incorrect. I'll add that recruiting nerds, such as all who post here, can't change their focus from the immediate and the minute. The program, to me, seems to be in a good place with every reason to believe that's where it will remain. There's my airplane. Shoot it down. I'll at least learn something.
  6. Some of these people were likely visiting their doctors who explained to them what the bill means for future care. They're not reading newspapers or watching anything other than FOX NEWS, they will learn the truth from alternative sources. The realization will be only a trickle. Trump will blame Hillary or Obama. The idiots will bite.
  7. I forgot about that.
  8. The swelled ranks of Proud Boys will set fire to them and roll them into the police barricades to seize the Capitol. Fine people.
  9. Two observations about the below: The visual contradicts the story. Lazy. Stupid. "Badly missing..." is pretty amusing use of understatement and irony. I sense a trapped independent thinker among the college boy journalists.
  10. Holding all the cards joins deal, like no one has ever seen before, and big, beautiful as phrases to be worn out by Dear Stable Genius.
  11. Are you designated to replace Rush Limbaugh as Democratic spokesperson to the right?
  12. What has 200 legs and 66 teeth? The front row of an Arkansas Music Festival. Big. Beautiful. Maybe a silver lining to the Murder Cult.
  13. Okay, I'll shut up after this. There was a Sherlock Holmes movie, Murder by Decree (1979), with an all-star cast. Pretty good. The great Christopher Plummer plays Holmes. He is working against a corrupt gov't official protecting the Ripper because he is a royal. When Plummer comes upon the man now wounded, he stops only long enough to say (again, Plummer's voice): If ever you fall under my hand, expect no mercy. I suppose it has nothing to do with the subject of the thread and has just randomly crossed my mind.
  14. There would be the benefit of getting better films. Fewer remakes of Batman, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. It would be more like that period in the 70s that Spielberg helped put an end to. Think South Korea.
  15. You really don't get it, do you? Name a dictator concerned with being liked? It will become the Fascist Fashion of the New Big Beautiful American Era. "John, that's your name isn't it? You could use a little more color in your face." "Right away, Mr. President, sir. Do you see the tears streaming down my face in the direction of my giant hairy arms, sir?"
  16. If we only had more trains to make to arrive on time. Sigh.
  17. You wanna have a hot sweaty job in the fields with your family or nice, well-dressed job in the Massa's house with his family? It's a shame that I don't have the moral vacuity to enjoy being part of the Massa class.
  18. They wouldn't convict when he was impeached for violent insurrection. They vote for a bill that is a nakedly wicked piece of legislation mainly comprised of cruelty and greed. It's all right there for all to see. This is what utter defeat looks like.
  19. How does one view holding an elective office in Washington D.C.? It's employment to feed your family and get great perks. It's like working at a big corporation where you put in your time eat the shit you must eat for the sake of your family and yourself. The actual job description is to support the Constitution and act in the best interests of the nation and your constituency, but we all know that's all bullshit. This thread has been very depressing the last few pages. The buffoonery surrounding the actions of a hateful tyrant. Wearing baseball caps, selling perfume, name-calling, the president unleashes an army of masked thugs on persons of color whom he villifies at criminal with absolutely no evidence. Ironically, it's depressing because it makes me want to laugh dismissively although I remain murderous. Maybe those ingredience combine for malaise and melancholy. Oh well. Sort of a pointless post. Nothing fresh or amusing. Like our world at the moment.
  20. It's a genetic condition that creates an optical illusion in beholders of the thumb toe?
  21. So, if we get three of four from Sarandon, Graham, Biel, and Fox, we'll have a top 3 class?
  22. I stopped watching the trailer half way through when I remembered the book. Even know what you're talking about, I didn't want to see it before seeing the movie. Luckily, it was in time.
  23. We can trust the death committees to make the right decisions.
  24. I'm going to a July 4 party hosted by a Dem that will have many MAGAs present. In the past, nothing has been said about Trump. I'm feeling acquiescent just attending the same parties they do. I want to put a Mexican flag on our fence on the ranch road we live on to show Latinos some of us don't think they're dangerous criminals, but that would be too provocative according to my beloved. She's not a Trumpist. She sends more money, by far, than I do. Writing here and talking only among friends who agree begins to seem and feel cowardly. I give a piddling amount of money to groups that are more active, that feels like too little as well. Getting membership emails from GLAAD doesn't really make me feel like I'm part of the fight. They surely are; they're on the front line. I'm struggling with this. My disapproval turns inward. Napoleon instructed all of his generals and marshalls that they must always march towards the sound of guns. I'm not really doing that. Makes me feel complicit in the coming defeat.
