  1. Past hour
  2. Guy's a great, great follow on the socials and can absolutely shoot his ass off. I know he does some competitive shooting, just no sure how much, ala Taran Tactical, etc?
  3. The president is all up in the epstein list
  4. Trump sets deadline of 10 or 12 days for Russia on war with Ukraine - Reuters Link
  5. Just trying to have a discussion instead of a shit war with Ana. Whenever he posts, there are only repeated, tiresome diatribes against him. I think he does troll now, but I suspect it's something of self-fulfilling prophecy. He's not one of the MagaGops who come here so they can run back to their safe space and lament how mean everybody here is. I think there is plenty of room for Anastasis' voice here. He shows up. He writes well. I'll quote whoever the fuck I want to.

  7. "I'm still miserable, prices keep going up, and he's selling us out to billionaires. Come to think of it, almost every single one of his policies is unquestionably bad for me, and the guy really is a dick. But, you know what? Overall I'm still happy with how things are playing out, because he's going after the browns." It's an impenetrable white supremacist cult. https://apnews.com/article/trump-approval-polling-favorability-presidential-approval-poll-f7eee34a49d2db7670577f4491e1caf0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Eric Hildenbrand has noticed prices continue to rise this year, even with President Donald Trump in the White House. He doesn’t blame Trump, his choice for president in 2024, but says Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats who control his home state, California, are at fault. “You can’t compare California with the rest of the country,” said Hildenbrand, who is 76 and lives in San Diego. “I don’t know what’s going on in the rest of the country. It seems like prices are dropping. Things are getting better, but I don’t necessarily see it here.” Voters like Hildenbrand, whose support of the Republican president is unwavering, help explain Trump’s polling numbers and how they have differed from other presidents’ polling trajectory in significant ways. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in March found that 42% of U.S. adults approved of Trump’s job performance. That is a lower rating than those of other recent presidents at the beginning of their second terms, including Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush. The most recent AP-NORC poll, from July, puts Trump at 40% approval. While that is not a meaningful change from March, there is some evidence that Trump’s support may be softening, at least on the margins. The July poll showed a slight decrease in approval of his handling of immigration since earlier in the year. Some other pollsters, such as Gallup, show a downward slide in overall approval since slightly earlier in his term, in January. But even those shifts are within a relatively narrow range, which is typical for Trump. The new AP-NORC polling tracker shows that Trump’s favorability rating has remained largely steady since the end of his first term, with between 33% and 43% of U.S. adults saying they viewed him favorably across more than five years. Those long-term trends underscore that Trump has many steadfast opponents. But loyal supporters also help explain why views of the president are hard to change even as he pursues policies that most Americans do not support, using an approach that many find abrasive. Persistently low approval of Trump’s job performance Trump has not had a traditional honeymoon period in his second term. He did not in his first, either. An AP-NORC poll conducted in March 2017, two months into his first term, showed that 42% of Americans “somewhat” or “strongly” approved of his performance. That is largely where his approval rating stayed over the course of the next four years. The recent slippage on immigration is particularly significant because that issue was a major strength for Trump in the 2024 election. Earlier in his second term, it was also one of the few areas where he was outperforming his overall approval. In March, about half of U.S. adults approved of his handling of immigration. But the July AP-NORC poll found his approval on immigration at 43%, in line with his overall approval rating. Other recent polls show growing discontent with Trump’s approach on immigration. A CNN/SSRS poll found that 55% of U.S. adults say the president has gone too far when it comes to deporting immigrants who are living in the United States illegally, an increase of 10 percentage points since February. “I understand wanting to get rid of illegal immigrants, but the way that’s being done is very aggressive,” said Donovan Baldwin, 18, of Asheboro, North Carolina, who did not vote in the 2024 election. “And that’s why people are protesting because it comes off as aggression. It’s not right.” Ratings of Trump’s handling of the economy, which were more positive during his first term, have been persistently negative in his second term. The July poll found that few Americans think Trump’s policies have benefited them so far. Even if he is not a fan of everything Trump has done so far, Brian Nichols, 58, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is giving him the benefit of the doubt. Nichols, who voted for Trump in 2024, likes what he is seeing from the president overall, though he has his concerns both on style and substance, particularly Trump’s social media presence and his on-again, off-again tariffs. Nichols also does not like the push to eliminate federal agencies such as the Education Department. Despite his occasional disagreements with Trump, though, Nichols said he wants to give the president space to do his job, and he trusts the House and Senate, now run by Republicans, to act as a safeguard. “We put him into office for a reason, and we should be trusting that he’s doing the job for the best of America,” Nichols said. Overall views of Trump have been fairly steady since 2019 Trump has spent the past six months pushing far-reaching and often unpopular policies. Earlier this year, Americans were bracing themselves for higher prices as a result of his approach to tariffs. The July poll found that most people think Trump’s tax and spending bill will benefit the wealthy, while few think it will pay dividends for the middle class or people like them. Discomfort with individual policies may not translate into wholesale changes in views of Trump, though. Those have largely been constant through years of turmoil, with his favorability rating staying within a 10-percentage point range through the COVID-19 pandemic, a felony conviction and attempted assassination. To some of his supporters, the benefits of his presidency far outweigh the costs. Kim Schultz, 62, of Springhill, Florida said she is thrilled with just about everything Trump is doing as president, particularly his aggressive moves to deport anyone living in the country illegally. Even if Trump’s tariffs eventually take effect and push prices up, she said she will not be alarmed. “I’ve always had the opinion that if the tariffs are going to cost me a little bit more here and there, I don’t have a problem with that,” she said. Across the country, Hildenbrand dislikes Trump’s personality and his penchant for insults, including those directed at foreign leaders. But he thinks Trump is making things happen. “More or less, to me, he’s showing that he’s on the right track,” he said. “I’m not in favor of Trump’s personality, but I am in favor of what he’s getting done.”
  8. The PGA and LIV announced their plans to "merge" in June 2023, which was a complete shock to everyone. A script for HG2 almost certainly existed in some form before then. I'm guessing the rival golf league was initially a much more on the nose stand in for LIV. Then, everyone in the golf world had to make nice, so they probably pivoted to the Maxi hip surgery and ridiculousness to lessen the LIV comparisons. And allowed them to bring in Bryson and Brooks as good guys in the fight for the future of "regular golf."
  9. It's the internet. There are plenty of places to see boobs without seeing Clay Travis. You're there for Clay Travis.
  10. It’s a great film although it is clunky and Elliot Gould is such a weirdo you almost fee like you’re uneasily stumbling through it with him. I haven’t read any of the books so don’t know how faithful it is. Marlowe smokes a lot. I dig the theme song, and how Altman weaves it into the movie in a multitude of ways. “This is someone I love” was quite a scene. Cameo towards the end one of the best ever.
  11. We were in Boston for less than 24 hours. Focus was on Fenway and the area. Some highlights. 1- Got my fix on Clam Chowder. 2- Son got to meet and have a beer with one of his idols, Jonny Gomes. 3- He found his new Sox hat. 4- Chapman drives an APC. No weapons, but the mounts are there. That sensor on the top is worth a pretty penny.
  12. They have a great daily article with lots of boobs. I like boobs.
  13. If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries. Bill Parcells.
  14. Hiked up to Emerald and Dream Lake yesterday evening. While sitting at Dream lake while it got dark evidently a bear was there right on the trail according to a lady waiting for her husband in the parking lot when I got down. I heard something not human when leaving but didn’t see anything with my headlamp.
  15. I Wish kicks so much ass. I love on the chorus, the first 3 brass hits are on the downbeat, but then that 4th one is on the previous last 16th beat, like a punch in the chest, my favorite part of the whole song.
  16. That was the exact sell ULM used for Ahmad Hardy and it worked for everyone involved: https://mutigers.com/sports/football/roster/ahmad-hardy/28684
  17. In Season 7, we got a speaking version of Diane in the hole. Beth Prime says that her mother left Rick in one of the early seasons.
  18. Choosing to give Clay Travis clicks is definitely a choice.
  19. Normal dude saying normal stuff.
  20. I'm sure they have no players on their current squad from Houston who speak like VY speaks. The shit about Jamaal is even worse -- the guy literally has a learning disability that he overcame and subsequently was able to achieve 10X more than that racist tool ever did.
  21. holy shit!, I did not post those in the Holy Shit thread.
  22. MBG guys have it already posted.
  23. A career in NIL contracts or family assistance seems like the move. I am sure there are plenty 3 star families that need help sorting through the madness.
