  1. But the 2nd amendment doesnt say that, that wasn’t the original intent, and prior to 1990 and for 200 years thats not how courts interpreted it. We banned the shit out of guns, with broader authority given to States. Congress can set the number of SCOTUS seats. Should democrats secure control over both bodies, they should ignore the gentlemen’s agreement and use their authority to set the number of seats. There is no unspoken rules about these things anymore. And it’s not even unethical. It’s authority they have. But it’s largely academic, If we talking moving our country to being a functional democracy, there’s about a dozen major things that need to change.
  2. It would be far easier to have Congress use their authority to pack courts than repeal 2nd amendment. Or same difference.
  3. S4 is Citizen Kane compared to S2, which made me have to look up apoplectic. I’ll take a whole Navarro episode over any Kelly Reilly scene.
  4. Or, we get judges on the supreme court who correctly (or more correctly) interpret the 2nd amendment as it was for 200 years. We banned the shit out of weapons of war at the state and federal level for the longest time. The 2nd amendment permitted communities to raise militias with adequate arms without obstruction from a central government. Militias are codified in the Constitution, even to repel armed insurrections when called. The federalist papers outlined this need, so citizens could defend themselves from “Natives, Foreign Invaders, and Armed Factions.” But, militias were made irrelevant with the need for a professional standing army and reserve guards. Alas, the right wingers have redefined this right as a right to open carry and get any weapon, whether the person is properly trained and/or willing to serve to protect their community and be accountable.
  5. Seeing a decade of horrific officiating, where we were outpenalized 90% of the time must have been impactful to our decision-making.
  6. Shanahan has walked into the Superbowls with inferior QBs vs Brady and Mahomes.
  7. MTailor Jeans “before” jeans are absurd. The FUPA cameltoe on the dude is something i hope i never see out in the wild. But their spokesperson is impressive. Jaclyn Kelly Shaw is googable, but nothing too racy.
  8. Hudson is every other poster on Surly following a loss or close victory
  9. I understand your sentiments but no one deserves online and in-person creeps, including but not limited to full-on pervs, and implicit and explicit threats of violence and rape. This is what women have to deal with. Know two women that received these types of threats, for having the temerity to express their opinions online as subject-matter experts in technology and football.
  10. Sucked in? He was the ring leader for Trump’s version of the brown shirts. He was standing by until they announced the date to disrupt the peaceful transition of power.
  11. Agree. Dont understand the issue. That there’s not a 1/2 empty commercial tower there?
  12. Remember me, you do not Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. In 1983, there werent any mofos complaining about ewoks in ROTJ in a movie trilogy that featured tons of little people in outfits. After the internet was invented, people heard about the change from Wookies to Ewoks, reflected on the prequels, and started that shit.
  13. I’d take a Haley victory right now over any double digit % chance dotard regains presidency. I detest her politics but am more confident she’s not a Rapture candidate or the last President. Biden is not a strong incumbent and is vulnerable to say the least.
  14. Augie should no longer be coaching at UT as well. RIP
  15. He works 20 hours a day, is making deals with dozens of foreign countries to make America great, still gets 36 holes in, and is banging a supermodel. With any luck he’s got the Nobel Prize already.
  16. it is easier for a camel toe to go through the eye of a needle dick than for dotard to enter the Kingdom of God!
  17. The poison apple scene occurred in part of the movie showing a young physicist trying to find his calling and he was flailing. It was later used to establish scenes with Nelson Bohr (Branaugh). The poison apple was used here at various points to set up various ethical questions about Opp, including how could a man make a bomb that could destroy the world. And you’re worrying about the one time he poisoned an apple for one man?
  18. Take it to the WTF thread or equine thread
  19. It was me. Can we keep this between us? I’d hate to lose my teaching job.
  20. She’s got a two decade head start on them, which is more than she needs. Taylor’s got friends in every town and toyota center from here to the Indianapolis, she sings in a dozen genres, knows every local custom, she'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see her again. With any luck, she's got the presidency already.
  21. Buy low, sell high Under few circumstances should an up and coming team dedicate finite resources longterm on aging assets. Agree on Noah Brown. Think Texans are fine at receiver. Dalton Schultz is a JAG. He also struggled at end of year with hands. It’s frustrating to see teams think guys are tight ends when really they’re just big possession receivers. Want to see a real tight end? watch George Kittle work.
