  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. I don't think I've ever seen a team wearing special black uniforms win.
  6. Whatever keeps you comfortable. Sure, I was triggered and driven to mania. Somebody please help me.
  7. I admire your heterosexuality. I look forward to more sexual references to prove same no matter where it's posted. Scintillating stuff.
  8. Who the fuck is @Horn75? Talk about touching a touchy nerve.
  9. Sorry you're so adament that you didn't notice my acknowledgment of imperfection, so you just repeat yourself. We're all on the same team, though.
  10. Classy. OMG! She's not perfect! Yes, she's part of the old ways that are being shed. She has set up the world where those ways can be shed and a new way to emerge. Pretty good fucking contribution for an octogenarian. She pushed out the ossifying candidate. It's not something I'll likely be able to pull off in my 80s.
  11. I love Nancy Pelosi. With all the talk of the ineffective Dems, she personally stepped up. Her story must be fascinating. Being gorgeous & fighting sexism in those days that Trump wants us to return to so that she could apply her brilliance and strength to serving the country must make for a fascinating read. I'm very late to truly appreciating her. If she indeed led the bold stroke to pressure Biden out of the race even though they are friends, then she is a dispassionate patriot with a keen perspective on priority. She's always known who Trump is. She's always read the threat he is. She sees the new paradigm. Trump is the kind of opponent she's likely longed for. He's the worst in American men particularly regarding women. She has fought great rear action battles when he was on the rise; now she can go over to the attack to break and finish him. Maybe her astonishing face belongs on Mount Rushmore. It's on mine. Interesting that she was often at odds with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whom I also admire above all others in Congress. I think AOC will come to appreciate Pelosi over time. She's also brilliant.
  12. Yay, boomers! Not so much white men, but yay female boomers!
  13. Timid incompetents. He still denies the last election, dumbasses. Trump's consolation prize will be keeping his customer base intact. He'll evidently shock CNN by saying he was robbed. All new merch for the all new whine. This is our concern.
  14. HOWDY! What say we fire this mother up with some imagery? One might say one basks in warm light rather than color, or so would say the tiresome pedant in the face of a poet. This ought to be good. See how the first sentence ties into the blue basking. Nice. Leads perfectly to a succinctly presented theme that, if you study closely, you can see. Vast like the baskful blue bowl of the sky. The guy who was second in sacks in the MAC went straight to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. ETA: Oops, left out some important additional info on Cashius. Not only did he lead the MAC in sacks! Perfect bookend to a first team all Big 10 player! That's the kind of talent we're talking about! Olin now runs the No Spin Zone. Which Shemar? More Shemar: Two hours? Wow. If you had two days, you'd come up with a guy who could make all-conference. 1. Anybody would point that out. The aforementioned players are defensive lineman. 2. Thanks, Olin! No incompetence there! Olin on great defensive lines and nicknames: Great stuff! I'm excited. What will the Aggie line be called? Thanks, again, Olin. I like how you avoid going out on a pretty durn risky limb there. Mixing the obvious with the questionable. Olin, you magnificent bastard! Do you tie it all together with a sky reference at the end? Just peer past the clouds, my dull friends. And dream.
  15. Where's it grown? Next that fabulous Lake Bryan. Here the coffee farm workers take a break from the heat in the tepid waters. Photo taken minutes before units of the Aggie Corps of Cadets arrived with fake guns and arrested them for trying to illegally cross into Texas. I mainly enjoyed this bit of genius with that Aggie touch of idiocy and racism in the response: Got to wake up pretty pretty pretty pretty early in the morning to slip one past ol' Ag Tag.
  16. I see Elko is pulling in a few players for next year that are middling rated defenders. Still, I as the question here: Is Elko a great talent evaluator? He's earned his reputation as a coordinator, but does anyone know his abilities to evaluate? They're unprejudiced question(s). I have no idea of the answers.
  17. I believe you mean "they're" as in they're mean as in meanies.
  18. Thanks for the grim reminder about the persisting issue of a large part of the electorate. I used to laugh at this stuff but no more, unfortunately. It would be funny if it were just a handful of people thinking (ha! talk about choosing the wrongest word!) like this. Their impenetrable obtuseness depresses the shit out of me. Dolts content and proud to be dolts. I'm reminded that the victory of Harris will not mean the end of the struggle. At least now there is the possibility that these malign idiots will be somewhat marginalized. I'd like to go back to laughing at the yokels. Trump is a tool, indeed. The God who is a comedian playing to an audience afraid to laugh created him like everything else.
  19. I'm so glad I found this again.
  20. Him being gay and mortified by it may go into explaining his process for becoming who he is, but I think I'm with TexasHooch on this one. His statements about childless women, his alignment with forcing women to have birth, and his all-over-the-place weirdness over the years is enough to decide about him as a candidate. I'd like to add that it's impossible observe him and imagine him as president. Oh, and his servitude to Trump and Trumpism makes him more than a half-assed danger to the republic. His possible gay history is maybe the most human thing I've heard about him. We don't make that an easy path. Even the over-used NTTAWT is pretty much a statement that there is something wrong with it. But fuck him, he's a MAGA.
  21. For what it's worth, I agree with immamac. I turned it on to hear obvious lisp and slurring, but Trump sounded about the same as usual with poorer sound quality. It's not rare for him to slur going all the back to the Unied Shtase of Uhmerica.
