I think people tend to forget that even cable news have "straight news" programs and "opinion" programs. I do not watch any of them, but I always take opinion shows and editorials with a grain of salt as everyone should. Fox hardly is alone in intentionally or unintentionally parroting disinformation red meat to the Idiocracy.

Don't think this is going to end well. California smash-and-grab thieves were back at it on Friday — with one crew hitting up a Home Depot to steal sledgehammers, crowbars and other tools, authorities said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the Lakewood store’s entire hammer section had been cleared out by the mob of eight during the robbery, which took place at around 7:45 p.m. local time, Fox 11 reported. The suspects — who range in age from 15 to 20 — fled in getaway cars parked outside the Home Depot, the sheriff’s department said. It was one of several brazen flash-robberies in the area on Black Friday. The Los Angeles Police Department said it issued a city-wide tactical alert after a large group raided a Bottega Veneta store in the ritzy Beverly Grove neighborhood, CBS LA reported. The robbers pepper-sprayed someone inside the Melrose Avenue boutique and made off with several high-end items, cops said. Three armed men also stole a Rolex watch from a jewelry store on Melrose Avenue on Friday night, according to KTLA. The suspects used a handgun in the incident, which occurred just before 7 p.m. local time, the report said. The robberies came after more than $25,000 of merchandise was plucked from the shelves at a Nordstrom in LA’s Canoga Park neighborhood on Wednesday. The Golden State has recently been plagued by a troubling trend of smash-and-grab raids, prompting one San Francisco tech store to hire bulletproof vest-clad security guards for a staggering $30,000 each month. ://nypost.com/2021/11/27/california-black-friday-robbery-suspects-steal-hammers-from-home-depot/

Years ago had a good friend (much older couple) who grew up at the end of the Galveston heyday. Galveston and the mob is a fascinating story that probably deserves more national attention ... probably would make as good of a movie as anything about the five families or the Outfit.

Thanks. I forgot about Lloyd and the buckle bunny (I have a genetic defect where I cannot remember movies / TV shows at all). Agree with bill ... fighting seems like would be pretty regular and hardly an offense worthy of taking the train, but ...

And I'm still unclear on why 1) Lloyd and Rip hate Walker so much and 2) what Lloyd did to deserve a trip to the train station (if he had not done so much for Rip and John).

I think for me I can't really get excited about the premise: these guys just magically do things for inmates and prison guards and keep the entire system stable and peaceful? Maybe if the show develops some sort of interesting back story, but having a hard time caring about anyone.

Remember when closing the border was

Trying to fight through the post-Yellowstone preview. So far I'm bored.

It's like you don't read the papers that tell us we're the fattest fucks in the world.

I have to be honest. One must simply just stand in wonder of the intellectual powerhouse that was able to turn such a phrase. Dylan? Ginsberg? Kerouac? I must admit the awe in which you have left not just me but all of us. Thank you sir. I hope your candidacy for the presidency of the rapist-misogyny club is everything you had hoped and more. Please give us more privilege hard and deep.

It's hard to hate the Pokes.

So basically they mis-invested the swagcopter gas fund into a guy that unironically goes by "Jimbo."

This is a tragedy where no one acted wisely. Custody battles have claimed more than a few lives. I ultimately blame the mom for being an insufferable See You Next Tuesday that caused the entire thing. I've known plenty of family law folks - the horror stories are unreal. She intentionally is both antagonizing her ex and putting her new toy with an obvious Napoleon complex in a shitty situation. I'm guessing the guys wishes he would have said "FU" and re-activated his Tinder account.

It's perfect #clownworld. - Idiots enact measures that encourage crime - Crime increases - Businesses leave - Idiots blame ...

And alumni aren't going to bust your balls for nutting up and going for the win when you're clearly the inferior team. Someone should have told Harsin his QB and kickers are walkons. Might have changed his calculus.

Same as when we played OU. And Herman played for OT instead of the win. As the weaker team, you should always go for the win. Just like Kansas did against us. There was no chance in hell Auburn was winning that game by keep prolonging it and hoping Bama makes a mistake. Go for the jugular. You are 6-5 for fucks sake. You were a 21 point underdog. Even wifey knew this. Stupid decision. Harsin and Herman must have the same esthetician. #brazilian

The ideological media has mailed it in and gone full clown world.

That was my first reaction. Let's just keep filming while this guy is dying on the porch.
