He said float. The BLS couldn't possibly mess up the jobs numbers for the 29th time in the last 30 months. I don't know if I believe him.

But yes, the entire Democratic Party apparatus, from leadership, to marketing, to strategists, even to fundraising needs to be excommunicated. This is the party that managed to lose to Trump, twice. You know that lifelong politicians across the globe have been shaking their head in dismay at the party's results when running against the embarrassment that is the current GOP. Saw an article earlier that Kamala isn't going to run for Gov of CA, which makes all signs point to her making another run for President. Any money spent on that campaign may as well be lit on fire. How the people in charge of the party aren't laughing her out of the room with this idea to run again says everything we need to know about the party's future. What's that famous Jeff Daniels quote? You know why people don't like liberals? Cause they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so god damn always?

Never believe that fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Well you see, Chief Justice Roberts in his infinite wisdom said that "racism is solved" and so we didn't need the Voting Rights Act anymore, which also happened to do away with pesky rules and checks like you're suggesting

I'm ignorant of Algiers and France beyond knowing it was a big thing in their joint history. I have wondered if indigenous resistance to an invader or ongoing colonial power can really be called criminal terrorism. A people of an occupied country cannot raise a conventional army, navy, or air force. Does this mean they can't use other violent tactics? I don't think so. Then, you have other issues. How long is one allowed to use terrorism against an occupier? Northern Ireland, for example. Where are the invaders supposed to go? The only place the could return to is literally where they're standing. On the other hand, why should a later generation not be allowed resentment over something taken long ago? It gets endlessly complicated. The silly construct of good guys versus bad guys is of little use other than as a rationalization for destroying one side (see Gaza) (see Manifest Destiny). The 10/7 attack simply as an attack may be as justifiable as the atrocities committed by Israel in the West Bank. What stands out is the gleeful psychopathy of the attack. I'd be interested to read what you have to do to convince a military unit to do what those young men did. Brainwashing? Drugs? What? Their actions are beyond the worst things I can imagine doing no matter the extent of my rage.

What would prompt the Pilkingtons to name their son Konnor? To distinguish him from the many Connor Pilkingtons out there? Good grief.

To be fair, a dutch baby is not calorie dense at all but very filling. Those 3-400 calories fill me up for most of the day. -
Speaking of...... I've been shooting the MAC 9DS Comp in 4.25" and the MAC 9 DS 5" fitted with a Cerberus Compensator and I love them. Good guns / value price - Lotta room to upgrade and still stay well under $2k including quality optic. I'm very pleased. Also love my Bul Armory Tac Pro 5" SS. Bit more money but also a great shooter. Been fun to work on breaking through some of my sight confirmation bias and shoot with more speed using all three of these. I've always been an aim small guy with hunting rifles so it's been a challenge but I'm enjoying the competition with myself to see how much I can improve times.

Texas Football 2025 Fall Camp - Kicking the Sonofabitch In

I’ve officially talked myself into Jerrick Gibson becoming RB1 (1b with Wisner?) this year, so I hope he can make up for some of the difference we’re seeing post-Bijan -
That isn't what I said. You said Hamas is running rampant in the West Bank in response to me very obviously asking about IDF-backed settler terrorism in the West Bank. Back up your assertion with evidence. That is not the reason. Again, post evidence of your assertions instead of just making shit up and expecting the rest of us to play along.

The Colorado detectives, including FBI, claim they read Chris Watt's* deleted texts to his mistress the same day he was interrogated, which was only two days after he committed the murders. They must have some pretty amazing software. *Chris Watts is the moron who murdered his pregnant wife and two young daughters in 2018 in Colorado cause he was having an affair with a co-worker. The story captivated the internet because he was so freaking normal, and because it was one of the first case where every aspect of it was recorded on camera. It's really amazing to go back and watch all the videos on YouTube, especially the interrogation, since the detectives did a masterful job of getting him to confess. This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks so much.

It's going to take some sort of cataclysmic catalyst for any third party to have a viable chance at election success. And by catalyst, I mean nothing short of WW2/Great Depression sort of suffering, where everyone feels the pain, regardless of where they fall on the wealth spectrum (who am I kidding the 1% will always live a life of luxury, even if they're ruling over the ashes). I don't see any other route for a 3rd party to come to national prominence.

Oh, good lord. No Hamas in the West Bank, now I’ve heard it all. No, they’re understandably scared of Hamas and/or sympathizers.

I know this is a stupid question but how is mid-decade redistricting based on nothing whatsoever even legal?

Y'all keep talking shit about the lineup!

Yeah, I've always loved those Crown "space chord" warmups, but their director has a tiny bit of douchiness in him. Comes with the territory in that field, I suppose.

I'm hoping not even Nerris can blow this lead
