  1. "...mental health excuse". I take issue with that. Mental health issues are not an excuse for being an asshole.
  2. Which just reminded me of "Sir Denis Eton-Hogg" and I laughed my ass off.
  3. Roy Moore's LadySmith pistol was more masculine.
  4. IIRC, Vance Bedford lives in Loveland
  5. Just got a full price cash offer, 15 day close

  8. Smartmatic has settled a lawsuit accusing San Diego-based One America News of defamation by falsely claiming that the voting technology company rigged the 2020 presidential election to help Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. It’s the third settlement involving the right-wing network whose reach has dwindled in recent years. A lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against OAN is still pending. Terms of the latest settlement are confidential, Smartmatic’s lawyer Erik Connolly said, but the company voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit filed in 2021 in Washington, D.C. Smartmatic had estimated that OAN’s false claims wiped out much of its business value, reducing it to less than $1 billion from more than $3 billion. Lawyers for OAN did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The lawsuit was one of several accusing right-wing or conservative-leaning media of spreading lies about the election to drum up viewership, and boost advertising revenue. Smartmatic still has lawsuits pending against Fox News and Newsmax over their election coverage. It is seeking $2.7 billion in the Fox lawsuit. Last April, the voting technology company Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787.5 million settlement with Fox, as opening statements at a trial were about to begin. OAN positioned itself to the right of Fox and Newsmax, sometimes airing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, the Jan. 6, 2021 attack at the U.S. Capitol, and vaccine safety. It suffered financial blows in 2022 when Verizon and AT&T’s DirecTV stopped carrying its programming. Smartmatic, based in Boca Raton, Florida, accused OAN of causing irreparable harm by “spreading disinformation” about the election and its technology. It said OAN eroded trust in the democratic process and abandoned a pledge by Charles Herring, president of its owner Herring Networks, to provide “reliable, credible, fact-based news with substance.” In court papers, OAN said awarding Smartmatic more than $2 billion would silence “one more, albeit conservative, voice” from what the U.S. Supreme Court has called the “marketplace of ideas” protected by the First Amendment. In May 2022, OAN settled a defamation suit brought by two Fulton County election workers, and posted numerous corrections. “Georgia officials have concluded that there was no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at the State Farm Arena in November 2020,” an OAN announcer said on air. Similar concessions of fact were posted on OAN’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. But in settling another defamation suit last September, OAN went radio silent. A search of its website didn’t show the name of the plaintiff, Eric Coomer. The Smartmatic settlement also isn’t mentioned on the OAN website. Coomer, OAN parent Herring Networks and chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion jointly agreed to dismiss the case brought by Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems executive. Coomer and the defendants “have fully and finally settled the disputes among them concerning Plaintiff’s claims against Herring Networks … and Chanel Rion only,” the filing said. The case is Smartmatic USA Corp et al v Herring Networks Inc, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, No. 21-02900.
  9. I remember a lot about the hornfans days as I was very involved, but the Loree thing is a blur to me.
  10. Difference is, a kid HAS to go to school. If I go to a bar that's full of assholes and get picked on...well, I don't go to the asshole bar ever again. I find another, better, friendlier bar. I don't want anything bad to happen to Derka. But I happen to believe that this board is bad for his mental health, and, "IF" (and it's a BIG FUCKING IF IMO) Derka is actually getting professional help for his mental health (from a REAL professional) that professional would conclude that his participation here is bad for him. And, I also believe that one can be both mentally ill, and be an asshole. I was married to both. I've seen post after post, many from Derka himself, about how the "old" Derka was bad but the "new" Derka is so much better. Looking through my lens, it's the same old bullshit from this guy. Derka, if you're reading this, go get some real help. God Bless your mom, and Bob too, but dude, you need somebody with a professional degree helping you through your struggles. It may take a very long time, but it's worth investing the time.
  11. I watched that again recently. "DOG HOLE" was so damn funny
  12. Never heard of woodcreek. I've lived in Ontario, Upland, and Alta Loma. Baldy Lodge pool was a really easy place to get pussy back on those days.
  13. Foosters is a Los Angeles criminal defense guy. He's fighting the good fight. A fight that NEEDS to be fought.
  14. Barron is graduating High School (presumably in Palm Beach). And the judge has yet to issue a decision on whether dotard can go
  15. just dull and grimy. Thanks for the tip
  16. Perhaps you haven't noticed over the years, but I'm a bit of an asshole.
  17. I'm on the west coast. If at some point, it comes down to "stay tuned for Sting", I'll probably go to bed. Sting is a bore. Summers propped that asshole up the entire time.
  18. fucking douchebag drummer. Indoors, at MSG, wearing a cap, with the sunglasses on the bill of the cap. The douche trifecta
  19. I stayed home that night to watch the Lakers take on the Spurs. In '82, I didn't need to rent a tux to get a blowjob. And, I hate dancing.
