Looks bad. Awkwafina was the only amusing thing in Crazy Rich Asians for the hour I managed to complete. She's not enough to carry a shitty movie. Thanks for the warning.

Sooooo, Mr. @PRONG HORN believes that an attack on "we're not going back" should be launched at the Dem's inferior record on the rights of women? You do this without selecting Right to Choice as your battleground or a comparison of each party's record on women office holders and influence. No, you go to the wording on Title IX language. You evidently fucked up even that narrow line of attack. We all know how much you hate Donald even though you carry his water. He still represents the party in opposition to the party you like to take pot shots at. That is, your best choice for opposition to the Dems on women's issues is a pussy-grabbing rapist who leads the party determined to force women to carry every conception to birth whether they like it or not. Thus is the path of the return to the deluded notion of American Greatness. But, of course, you're just an unbiased arbiter of right and wrong with no political affiliation. I have no idea what the cartoon at the bottom of your post represents. I'm sure it's another obscure reference supplied to you by disingenuous operatives as yet another masterful stroke against the ebil libs. It packs the expected amount of poignance and wit. You guys really aren't very good at this when you're not preaching to the choir. Even then, you're not very good at it; it's just that your audience is largely comprised of degenerate, hateful fools.

Marc, what kind of law you thinking about going into? I don't know. Maybe election law. [Guffaws] There's no money or future in that! WTF is the purple thing? Then, you have two dorks pointing at a bottle of soda and laughing...at what? I suspect one of them just used it to pee in. I know there was some stuff about Mountain Dew before, but who really recalls that now? God did such a nice job healing that ear. Dreamy. Here's your story, CNN. Every line below is newsworthy from a person seeking the presidency. Just add the lede: Today, here's what Trump had to say at his rally: But, but, but we don't have anything to balance it with from the Harris campaign. That's why it's news, you incompetent imbecile! My wife isn't white, but I still love her. Natalie looks like bimbo, but we still think she's smart. Tailgunner Dotard.

Why? They already had the Aggie vote.

He's absorbed our toxins, and now he does our bidding.

They pay the lying buffoon for this: Agtags, ring emblems, and stars! They need to belong. They need to call new posters "rooks" because it makes them feel like war veterans. They're in this together! Together, but still friendly enough to say HOWDY! by rote. Cults gonna cult.

Billy so tired. So wonderful. I knows his desires, interests, and career. And this guy. I think y'all are more familiar than I am. It's an obvious but pertinent question. For what? I'm guessing a furniture moving business opened up in Bryan. EXPERIENCED! An Olin adherent. Ummmm

Michigan is an obscenely difficult place for effective woman to hold statewide office. I take your point. Perhaps some of my Kamala optimism was making me hope something subtle was going on rather than something malign.

After all that we white men have been through, how can you be so callous as to write the above? We'll never get out from under the lead boot of racism if you won't even recognize it exists. Nobody says our lives matter. Such suffering.

Others made the point before I did.

I get it. I don't want to be tedious with them. I'm usually moved to do something like that when the thread is sinking. I feel kind of guilty slapping Olin around, but I've had an unbalanced jihad going against what sportswriters are doing to language and thought for a long time. Thanks for the comment.

Excellent. My early observations about him in the GOP debates was that he was the only onstage actually talking to people rather than reciting shit. He got off some good lines. I never thought he'd get the nomination, but I could see his appeal. This was before the shit about the wall and the other absurd promises. Also excellent. He's an old gasbag that doesn't realize the funny stories he's told a hundred times are now suffered through rather than laughed at. Evidently, Lenny Bruce's act became him reading about the legal persecution he was experiencing instead of entertainment. He lost his audience. There are few things more boring on this site than people pontificating about the perfect way to cook or eat something. Gotta have two burn points per square inch and two cups of jalepenos to be a real taco. In this case, it's not only boring, but it's adding deadweight to a thread already moving at a torrid pace. I become a scorn. I'm guessing this is like the flyers put on East Side businesses here years ago telling people they would have to leave to make room for gentrification. Too many people took it literally and missed a solid point being made with absurdity. I doubt this sign is from Trump followers but actually ridicules their racist, violent, stupid hatred.

Olin opening: Faxinating. Let's get to these five reasons, my learned friend. [nobody needs to read the below] The above is ten paragraphs of Olin, so secure in his objectivity, explaining that, "No, really! I'm not a homer!" as he picks the Aggies over ND with reasons! Let's see number one non-homer reason the Ags prevail: Non-homer reason? It's a home game! But there is reasoning! The Irish won't mind the home crowd, they're used to raucous. Okayyy. The unimposing road team went 3-2. Olin omits saying who ND lost to on the road where they always face raucous crowds and usually a peak level performance by the team they're playing that day. Hmmm. Aggies usually like to compare losses to show their own true worth. They surely can't compare road wins. Wonder why famously objective Olin didn't go there. A&M was clearly better than ND because they had 3 road losses to ranked teams while the Irish have only 2. Advantage A&M. No need to show ND's road wins, I mean, should we count Notre Dame's wins over lowly Pitt and Stanford? I mean, they really just squeaked by. Clearly not a formidable road team. Kyle Field will be a high hurdle for the Fighting Irish. Location is working against ND. What about climate? There you have it. Gonna be hot. Can't argue with that. Heat will be an advantage for the team that's used to it. Nice one, Olin. But wait! No, it's not really the heat after all! Olin is so good at these reversals. Lay it on me, my man. Thank goodness they had the good weather for these games: They're losses otherwise. Reason number 2 is gold, Olin, gold! Fuckin' weather, again. So, what do we conclude, Olin? Wow. If you're not throwing picks to LA-Monroe and New Mexico, what hope does one of the top takeaway teams in the country have? Notre Dame better pray Touchdown Jesus comes through with some precipitation. Olin assembles a solid argument. Not bad. Your line should be more than good. I'm sure you won't miss linebacker Cooper who roamed the field like a bird of prey. That number 3 defense from last year don't mean shit if it don't rain or get cold! As for receivers and expecting improvement there? Thank goodness they got rid of Ainias Smith and Evan Stewart! No tint of Maroon in Olin's glasses!

Those aren't kids. They're invaders threatening the security of our border. After they drop this whole innocent act, they'll be killing and raping us and polluting our precious bodily fluids. And the Black jobs! Think of all those poor Blacks losing their jobs!

I think it's weird that they don't worry about the loss of Edgerrin Cooper who became quite a force on their defense last year. We're losing two star DL and there is no way to recover. They lose their best defender at a key position, and it doesn't even merit a footnote.

I just see what you're seeing.

Lovely Saturday in just over two weeks if ND overwhelms A&M. This doesn't need much analysis, but... The apologist twice points out that Zuhn was chosen as captain. Add that C beside the SEC patch and you've got yourself a special player! Let's elect the competent one! Experience counts for a lot. Evidently it earned Bisontis another post-high school graduation star! Those guys competing for spots must really suck if you judge the starters by how they did when gaining experience. But, they are competing for spots! It's that new culture Elko brought. Guys showing up to practice! Guys running laps! No more grab-ass in the huddle! Putting on their pads right! Saying HOWDY! Rolling. Ball. Of. Butcher. Knives.

I wouldn't likely care about much of anything but revenge. I would become and likely reduced to bloody bits by an Israeli 1000 lb bomb (stern America denied them the 2000 lb ones) that would take me, the Hamas terrorists, and a couple of apartment blocks out should any be left standing in Gaza. My point stands whether the video is true or not. When we bomb the fuck out of people, we think they'll cower and submit. Nope. They get angry and want to find a way to hurt you back. I don't expect anyone to remember all of my posts so I will restate that Israel had every right to strike back with a heavy hand after Oct. 7. This isn't about that anymore. It would be foolish to think that, in the face of horrible fates for innocent people, a Palestinian wouldn't feel the same way as an Israeli. It does occur to me that you're being wry. If so, my compliments.

I think it would be more like a gross Aggie joke from the late 60s. An Aggie set the world record by picking a 15 pound booger out of his nose. Sadly, his head collapsed before he could eat it.

Actually, shooting at his dick. It's not an easy target and it hides. Ladies and gentlemen, the new auctioneer on Storage Wars! "I promise to take bids more slowly so the stupid childless cat ladies will understand me! Sure, some of the cat ladies aren't white, but we still love them." This would be so humiliating if any non-shameless person was in his shoes. Walking across an empty asphalt parking lot to ascend the dais set up in front of loading docks would seem endless. Then you arrive, and there is nobody around except for some malcontent extras who didn't like their box lunches and hate you. Should you have a dream like that, it would be a nightmare of sinking stomach and heart. That is, if you were not shameless.

Had my home been destroyed indiscriminately and members of my family made homeless, starving, or dead or all three in sequence, I'd be helping them with that rocket aimed at Israel's capital. I might have to crawl throught the rubble of apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, and historic sites to get to that spot, but I'd be there. I wouldn't be defending the actions of Oct. 7. I wouldn't even give a fuck about helping Hamas. I'd likely hate them starting all of this, but I would be determined to strike back at the brutal invaders and destroyers of my people. Israel needs to stop the terror attacks and obliteration. Now. Kill every Hamas guy you can find. I won't shed a tear. But stop this abomination now.

Man, that's a great observation in the middle of a great post. When a mass of protesters of different causes would arise at international conferences in the US or even political conventions, they had no clear message. They just all showed up to get their tickets punched as protesters. The local news media always covered the events as police problems, so shame on them, too. Protesters, cops, local media idiots all getting their tickets punched for following the template. Even the chants from the '60s are tired. What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now. They can't even come up with something specific. No justice. No peace. Yeah, you show up for a couple of hours saying that and it's self-parody. Just wait a few hours and, oh look! Peace! Idiot World. Some good causes likely could have been advanced by not blending in with 20 other causes just so the crowd is big.

Don't forget keenly worded posts on the internet! I did my part! The above enrages me towards those in the public who lead opinion and debate (Dems, News media) and my own failure to find even a little way to change minds. I'm not built for an argument-proof world. Maybe the electorate wasn't ready for it until the spectre of the choice between an old crook who could still sound vital and a good man too old for the job. Anyway, better days, my friends!

It's not exhausting. They choose blind faith because it's easy. Critical thought takes effort and, frankly, honesty or at least an honest perspective. A little pandering. A little hate mongering. Some simple dogma to memorize. Mix it all up, and you have a Get Out of Brain Free card. It doesn't rely on stupidity to work. Lots of smart people don't want to keep thinking about troublesome things like their world changing or monumental universal issues.
