  1. I felt the same. It's also overwrought with every person involved in command positions breaking into tears. Sure, do it with a few for impact, but, jeez, not everybody in the movie. I particularly hated the non-ending. Chickenshit. Amateur. Too bad because they assembled an outstanding cast.
  2. Sounds like you know more than I do. I did a quick scan this morning and thought the Senate compromise funds SNAP and pays federal workers. I don't know what the status of the thing is in the House.
  3. Thanks. I had no knowledge of that. Still, isn't she talking about a gambit that is working? You kids.
  4. Places still exist where there are rules. Not everywhere is the United States political shambles. Not sure what your point is in entering a pretty specific discussion about a journalism bastion. Why even write about football or any subject? I'm with you on the exasperation in general.
  5. I laughed when the Aggies impaled themselves on their guaranteed contract to Jimbo with no conditions. I thought is was a one off. Now, it makes me sick to think of institutions of higher learning risking 100s of millions of dollars then loosing it. I also don't know how comfortable I would be if I were already worth 10s of millions of dollars taking all that money in failure. Integrity? That still a thing? Maybe I never understood it. It's all a big toilet swirl of fiduciary suicide and greed. I have no idea how to fix it. The schools can't form an illegal trust and they can't even remember why they exist. Crazy fucking world these days.
  6. The donkey also opened the SNAP food supply to people who are suffering. Anything short of total victory is a defeat for Dems. Anything they can claim as victory is victory for the GOP criminal organization. The newspapers quote them when they say so, so it must be true! Such a fatal spiral.
  7. I completely agree. It's bad journalism. However, if the BBC recognized it as such, they should have forced those guys out at the time. Waiting all this time is a terrible look for them as a once respected news organization. They either ignored bad journalism (damaging their credibility which used to be a big deal to news outlets) and waited until forced to take action, or they don't think it's bad journalism and they are abjectly capitulating to POSUS (sic). I have not seen the tape. The fact is that POSUS did incite an insurrection (treason, fuck the letter of the law) and you'd have to doctor it up pretty fiercely to make him look worse, so why do such a useless thing? Either way, the Beeb (a friend of mine who worked there referred to it as such. Kinda catchy.) has shot themselves in the gonads.
  8. I guess I missed the code lesson. Still, I don't think it was intended as ironic nor are people responding to it as though they are. Whatever, my friend.
  9. He should also be under a jail somewhere if not swinging at the gallows.
  10. Everything is a total fuckup by Dems according the "we're losing because of messaging" crowd. The republic will fall, and Democratic historians will blame the Democratic Party instead of the actual perpetrators. It's self-crippling. It's blind to the game at hand. It's also evidently an addiction. As to the post, what is not praiseful about the word "masterful?"
  11. @Rip76, I included that. I think the big point here, if I'm not mistaken, is a head of state choosing to sue a foreign newspaper. Period. Petty and embarrassing. No. I'm not used to it.
  12. skin thinner than a grape's
  13. This just in, whiny litigation across the water:
  14. Mildly amusing. Aggies think this proves how good they are. More fart huffing: Pure Aggie Yes, we envy A&M's achievements in that same period of time. We won two MNCs right before the 55 year mark and won the SWC 7 years in a row ending in 1975. We've played three times for the MNC and NC in that same period of time.
  15. I've kind of fallen in love with Indiana. I had a similar feeling for Iowa State when we were Big 12. Indiana football is pretty old school tough discipline. I enjoy watching their games. I pretty much think they deserve their ranking. I'd love to see that matchup. I'm glad of the expanded playoff because of the wild possibilities. We'd be the story of the decade if we took it all (must win out). What a ride! A footnote of pleasure would be doing in the year the Aggies have their best chance since the 90s (fuck the Covid season).
  16. It's pretty wild and fun when you can't really point to a dominant group among the top ten teams. It felt like it would be that way from the beginning. I'd say Bama, Georgia, and Ohio State are the barely elite. A&M has done with their easy schedule all that can be done. I suspect that they belong lower in the rating, but it's so hard to tell for sure. If we get our safeties back and Arch keeps growing, we might end up being the national monster. Big if. If Arch can execute from the start, I think we can jump ahead of Georgia early. Sark's specially designed plays will work. Then we have to see if we can hold off their furious fourth quarter comeback.
  17. Worldview is such a nice word for psychopathy. They'll probably use Epstein's plane as the ultimate flaunt to their blind Church of the Cruel Jesus supporters. Not only are they teenagers, but they look pre-pubescent! Jackpot!
  18. Don't be stupid. Be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party! A little rictus. A few years ago, I caught a video of him going from normal to this pose with such creepy ease. It's like a switch. I'm sure he can go from full stupor to this plastic expression in a millisecond.
  19. Really classes up the neighborhood.
  20. * Yes, the joy around here could hardly be contained after beating Kentucky and Mississippi. We're just easily satisfied fans, I guess. ** Oh, you're a sly one. *You funny. ** TexAggy (see post below this one) *** Non sequitur incoherence. Stroke? * TexAggy Is that you, William?
  21. An actual Christian leader uses the term religionists to describe these awful people. They've joined a cruel club with a Christian name but embrace none of the philosophy. In the 80s, the big thing from the found-Jesus-hogs was some quote about "stewardship." That allowed "stewarding" wealth which is, somehow, way different than owning more shit than you need. I was at a small gathering where a dickhead I really loathed was arguing the Bible doesn't require you to be generous. The nuns he was arguing with kept coming up with Bible passages to dispute him (of course, they were killing him), but the dickhead felt safe because he had his one or two passages where he and his type found what they were looking for. This went on awhile. I was already irreligious, but I liked cold debate. I, not a Bible scholar or even possessed of a passing knowledge of it, interrupted them and they politely waited for what I had to say. I know you have quotes and stuff from the Bible, but doesn't everything you (dickhead) claim go against the way Jesus lived and led and spoke? What a stunning moment! The nuns pointed at me and said, "That's it! That's it!" Dickhead was silenced. They were so tied up in quote wars, that they lost sight of the big picture. Pardon the tldr story. Goddamn you, Carton! Your slovenly ways and resemblance to an effeminate French noble have inflamed me to action! We shall meet at the TexAgs parking lot and settle this like men. When I am done with you, even Dr. Manet will not be able to save you! I suggest you train with Lord Liucci. You will not escape the cold point piercing your worthless, rotten heart, but maybe you'll be able to put up some sort of fight. Weak man! We shall see.
  22. I've said more than once that a white male born when I was missed the draft to Vietnam, always had a safety net with mom and dad, could always find a job so long as your record was clean. All of this in the most prosperous time of the most prosperous nation in the history of the world. That said, the so-called Greatest Generation would have been the same as me and I as them had we switched birthdays. Same with you and me. Fortuna smiles on some and not on others. And we're not all the fucking same in each generation. The Greatest Generation paid their dues in the Depression and WW2. Next? They lived in a country that controlled 50% of the world market. They fought for freedom and didn't extend it to negroes or women or people of color. They became just another rapacious generation of Americans who fell in love with Ronald Fucking Reagan and happily rolled back government efforts to share a miniscule amount of the budget with those in need. Fuck them. Fuck us. Fuck you. Fuck me. A birthdate does not bestow moral superiority. In the words of Sgt. Hartman,
  23. One of the cleverest and most cynical reads of the Dems ever. The Dems can't say no to a Black candidate. They're terrified of losing the Black vote but don't respect them enough to let them decide about what a shit heel Thomas is. They are also not cynical enough to see the Black vote won't be swayed to the GOPs over this issue. The Dems are so cowardly, they drag in Anita Hill instead of just voting their conscience. Of course, they compound their weak leggedness when they cave on invading Iraq thinking they'll be saved by some double talk language in the bill or whatever it was. And I vote for them. I hold my nose sometimes to do it, but the alternative since Reagan was elected has been out of the question for me.
