    The worst part about it for Trump is this:

    She speaks the truth.

    And he knows it.

    And because of his disease, his mind won’t allow him to accept it.

    And will lash out accordingly, in order to protect itself.

    Not much different than a drug addict. The drug addicted mind will do whatever it takes to fool the body to keep taking the drugs it wants, and in fact needs. 

    That’s our president. 

    And here's the thing -- a creature like that is one of stimulus-response.  If you want him to do a certain thing, you just provide the correct stimulus, and it will elicit the intended response.  Just like pushing the gas or the brakes, you can get him to do what you want with just the right input.

    She just pushed the gas pedal.  He can't help but rev his engine of idiocy.

    The reasoning is pretty simple: killing dirty brown people, by definition, cannot be a crime.

    The president of the United States is saying, with no shame or reservation, that it is the official policy of the United States that murder of dirty ay-rabs is A-OK, and not only is it not a crime, we should thank anyone who does so.

    I know, in a list of atrocious things done by this admin, it's hard to make room for all the super-shitty ones, but this one belongs in that top tier.  But it probably won't even get a mention on the news.

    Read MM’s twitter feed- Pete Sessions is his client- Sessions took the contribution and wrote the letter demanding her removal. Mackowiak is flacking it after the fact.

    I’m not saying MM did anything criminal, I’m saying he’s a party after the fact to a nasty and shameful bit of business. Hope he’s well paid for it.

    Ok.  I don’t doubt what you are saying, I just wanted to read about it.  A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I considered MM a friend.

    There are multiple people in this forum who did. And I used to respect him a lot, because he used to actually be a conservative.

    These.  

    And my wife and I were just discussing this/him the other day.   We are trying real, real hard to keep considering him a friend.  But he's making it damn near impossible.  There's a good man in there -- or there once was.  He could be counted on to step up to help someone in need.  Now....he gets his greatest political capital from attacking the most vulnerable (homeless people, LGBTQ people, etc.), and he shamelessly and relentlessly defends a man who, if he were a Dem doing the exact same things, he would have rightfully attacked for being a threat to the Republic.

    Oh, and he has mentioned in the past that he talked to Roger Stone pretty much every week.

    None of my serious acquaintances has been convicted for a bucket full of federal crimes.  None.  And I'm a lawyer.  This says a lot about what MM has allowed himself to become.

  4. I don't know why you all want to fight Jr. dirty.  I'd gladly fight that idiot in a fair fight using standard boxing rules, mostly because I'm shorter than he is, probably have a significantly shorter reach, and look like I could be Jewish, so it'd be really funny and extraordinarily embarrassing for him when I still clown him.

    I don’t want to just clown them.

    I want them all crushed to a point that they go the fuck away forever.

    Gloves-off time, fuckers.

    LOL the caller from Florida thinks everyone in the room serves the President, and the ambassador and the Democrats are "breaking their oaths".

    Jesus.  Crack a textbook.

    Members of fucking CONGRESS have actually said "I work for the president."

    Idiocracy, dude.

    It would be awesome to see the look on his face when you hit him and he realizes no one is going to step in and save him. I remember that look from elementary school. When you stand up to the bully and punch him right in the face...the shock first, then the fear. It would be glorious. 

    Best feeling in the world, or at least one of them.

    I vividly remember turning and whaling on the middle school bully (athlete, much bigger than me -- I just whirled around on him and started beating his ass).  The best part was during first period that day, when the principal came and pulled me out of class (having heard of the fight that happened right before school started) -- she gets me in the hall and asks "so...what happened?"  "He just kept fucking with me."  Long pause.  "Ok, go back to class."

    Fucker steered clear after that.  

    The entire Trump clan needs to be popped in the fucking face, and hard.

    He’s hippy though- you’ve got to go hard on the ribs and liver with hippy guys starting right at the bell, because they can wear you out leaning on you and crowding your space.

    Oh.....you think I'd fight him fair.  How adorable.

    Little bitch would get a kick to the nuts and a 2x4 upside the head, then I'd piss on his unconscious body.  Which would still be more dignity and respect that he deserves -- I'm just too lazy to shit on him too.

     

  8. There is a reckoning coming for the Special Forces after this presidency.  They've essentially moved out side of the chain of command at this point. 

    Yep. Again, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Abuse your position and privilege, and it works fine...until it doesn’t.
  9. Quit reminding me we are still in college football season.

    It’s actually a good reminder.

    As a Texas fan, I’m an honest evaluator: we aren’t very good. If I was a Trumpkin, I’d complain about the deep state refs, and what about Ohio State cheating years ago?!?!?

  10. Didn't their parent's ever tell them that life isn't fair.

    Trump fan: “It’s not fair! All the facts about my guy are incriminating!”

    These guys whine that it’s not fair when the team playing their team is light years better than theirs. Fuck em. They’re fucking losers. It’s their fucking brand.

    Agreed. I always dice small and fry them up first so they're well cooked. Usually dust them with fajita seasoning towards the end before adding the sausage and then the egg.

    The ratio is  important too. 2:1:1 for potato:egg:sausage.  Egg should never be the majority ingredient. It can be equal to something else like a chorizo-egg taco should be 1:1 but preferably it would be maybe 1.5:1 in favor of chorizo.

     

    One of the best tater egg and cheese tacos I used to get was at a long-gone diner on 183 out past Bergstrom.  Old army cook ran it.  For the potatoes, he used shredded hash browns fried on the flat top in a ton of butter.  Then eggs.  Then melty american cheese.  It was glorious.  And about 60% potatoes.

    Tator tots also make a fine potato to add.  I actually like to save good leftover french fries and such, toss them in the pan to crisp them good, then add the egg.

    If I was writing for the Bare Naked Ladies, I'd be working on a new verse for "If I had a $1,000,000". Something along the lines of.........

     

    If I had a $1,000,000

    I'd buy myself an ambassadorship

    If I had a $1,000,000

    I'd tie my legacy to corruption

    If I had a $1,000,000 I'd help bring down the President on bribery charges.......

     

    ....but not a REAL President, that's cruel.

    It’s fucking horrific, but my guns still haven’t killed anyone.  I’m sure everyone advocating for gun control laws on here habe voluntarily turned in all of their guns, if you owned any in the first place.  Rogan and Crenshaw has an interesting discussion on this, it’s so complicated that any one reaction is probably going to be an over reaction and not solve the problem.  I don’t know the answer.  I have one kid in 1st grade and a toddler.  It fucking turns my stomach to even think of this happening in our community, but I don’t know the answer and I’m not going to shout from the rooftop that “this one thing”, whatever it may be, is going to solve the problem.  Truthfully, until our politicians start acting like fucking human beings and not deciding policies on sound bytes nothing will be solved.

    The rational minds are needed to address this issue... I don't think anyone has ever been opposed to that. Nor has it ever been just "this one thing." 

    My perception is that it sure seems like one particular political party in our country historically doesn't approach that stance in good faith. 

    See the bolded above, and see the quote directly above.

    I would LOVE to see that kind of thinking applied to: gun violence.  The war on drugs.  Immigration.  The threat of terrorism.  Just for starters.

    Think I should waste a single second of my day hoping for that to happen?  Yeah, me neither. 

    When we have one party that reacts to gun violence with "don't do anything, not a single thing with respect to gun control -- but actually wait, let's arm EVERYONE, including teachers!", and they react to illegal immigration with "deport everyone! build a wall!  close the border!", it's pretty clear we're not going to have a rational, good-faith discussion about anything.

    But what do I know?  I'm just a half-messican gun owner who doesn't want my kids to get shot at school.

    We've spent years telling "mainstream" Republicans that if they keep going back to that racism well they were going to hit a big fucking pool of antisemitism, and their response was always "I don't have a racist bone in my body I just support stronger borders and you'd call anyone you disagree with a nazi! I LOVE ISRAEL ISRAEL IS MY HOMEBOY HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BE DOING ANTISEMITISM!?" 

    It feels kind of rewarding to be proven right by history.

    Lie down with dogs, get fleas, circular firing squads, all that shit.

    Courting hate is never a wise strategy.  But they still went all-in, and REMAIN all-in....

    This is EXACTLY what they get.

    Problem is, they're the party in power, and they're going to take down the whole fucking country with them.

    Uh ... because we don't have a transcript?  Or is that a rhetorical question?

    It's fluent Stupidese, being spoken by a native-speaker.  So, it's understandable that you don't get it.

    See, the Stupidians speak a dialect that is interwoven with nonsense and lies, and it's often hard to distinguish the two.  For example, they refer to something that actually states that it's not an exact transcript as a "transcript."  They also ignore the testimony of witnesses to the conversation who say that material statements were omitted from the purported "transcript."  They also ignore the fact that DOTUS didn't just communicate with Zelensky one time, through one phone call -- he communicated with him numerous times through intermediaries acting upon his direction -- Rudy, Sondland, etc.

    They just yell "transcript!" at random, like a person with Tourette's might yell "douchebag!", except someone with Tourette's has an excuse for random nonsensical verbiage.

    I didn't say they couldn't or shouldn't be admissible on retrial of the Stites case, but it still strikes me as wrong to say "well, we may have porked the pooch on the Stites case, but look at all this other shit  . . .  he needs to die."

    This.

    And understand that there are two answers to this, depending on which level you look at it.  If we just look at it in the vacuum of only Rodney Reed, then that statement definitely makes perfect sense.  He's a bad dude.  There really isn't any question.  His imprisonment and/or death will make the world a better place.

    But if we look at it in terms of the proper functioning of the criminal justice system -- which should matter to ALL of us, so that it works better in ALL cases -- then we need to evaluate this case based on the facts of this case, and this case only.  Note that the facts of this case only still may well support his conviction.  But the process matters.  Because the alternative is the voice of the mob -- either to hang him, or free him.  That's not a good path.

    Oh, and in any case, the folks saying "Rodney Reed is innocent" and "free Rodney Reed" are dipshits.  The most they can say is that "there may be reasonable doubt."  And based on what we do know about the other crimes...."free Rodney Reed" doesn't seem wise.  Even if acquitted of Stites' murder someday, the proper next step would be immediate arrest for the other rapes, and no bond because he's clearly a risk to the community of re-offending.

    I know, boring lawyers droning on about the rule of law.  But I don't want either alternative.  I don't want the Kardashians storming the Bastille to free Rodney Reed, and I don't want a system that fucked up executing him.  I want it done according to due process and the rule of law.
