  1. Also better than the old bugle bird.
  2. Do we not have spies or intel anymore? They've been "on the verge" of this shit since the fucking '90s. We haven't done anything because we know they aren't close. If they were George W. would have turned the place to glass instead of fucking around with Saddam. This shit ain't hard to figure out. Bibi wants to stay out of jail, that's literally all that is going on right now, period.
  3. I don't think the US does anything different than in the past including no direct military intervention. Just more rage tweets and nonsense while Israel and Iran continue talking tough while lobbing a few pew pews at each other for the next few years. Iran is nowhere near a nuclear weapon, they've been super duper close for like 30 years, it's all bullshit. If they were really that close we would have gone full Team America on them a long time ago.
  4. I think it has more to do with his knowledge of the audience. Tons of people in the west still think that any criticisms of actions of the State of Israel are antisemetic while a ton of other people have some really strange religious views on why Israel must be "supported" at all costs. It has let him get away with almost everything. It's starting to wear thin but it still remains true that in the US no political candidate can win a national election if they are too critical of Israel and even modest criticisms were an issue in the last election.
  5. Nah, the vast majority of them couldn't name a single policy on any of these issues that they believe or that they thought their King Orange believed other than "woke dei is bad." That's literally all they cared about. They couldn't even tell you what his position was on war becasue he never had any other than just shittalking Biden/Obama. That's all they hear and all they care about, the vast majority at least.
  6. Even the foul pop up in the finals a few years ago was a tough break because those are hard especially when it hangs up long enough for three guys to converge, even major leaguers miss those sometimes. LF looks like he lost it in the lights for a second and slipped readjusting, tough break. For the SS to consciously forego an easy game winning double play is flat out stupid decision making and way beyond any other fuckup from that inning or maybe any other similar situation in a win or go home situation.
  7. Looks awesome! I expect the Sunny side of the Abbott crossover to be far more Sunny (ABC v FX, light humor vs dark humor). But even tame Sunny is better than most things out there these days. The Golden Bachelor things looks like a great vehicle for Frank to be Frank, lol.
  8. Left field was a tough break. SS choosing against an easy game winning double play is an all time fuckup.
  9. Arky SS ain't gonna sleep for a week. What a colossal fuck up.
  10. The President of the United States is tweeting like a teenager in matters of international conflict involving nuclear armament. India's PM also had to fact check him in real time today when he lied about solving their recent scuffle with Pakistan. But let's not comment on any of it because CLOAK ROOM! How fucking pathetic.
  11. Well they all know by now that dotard is worthless and that nothing he says has any real meaning so I don’t think that part really matters. What Iran should be doing is kissing the rest of the G7’s asses right now to get a reasonable deal in place regardless of if the US agrees, most of them have been more willing to at least criticize Israel’s actions anyway. Trump will rage tweet, call it a horrible deal, demand that we withdraw from nato, blah blah blah same ol shit. Then we’ll get distracted by more ICE raids, protests, and fascist actions at home. The mid east tiff will be off the front page. Oh and did you see that a trans girl won another swimming medal, omg!!!
  12. Since he can't pardon state crimes I think you're going to see the President of the United States spout nonstop lies that he's a leftist and he fully supports the death penalty for leftist terrorists. All of the evidence will show that he was a right-wing terrorist but facts don't matter anymore.
  13. That looks great, perfect mix of the absurdity of the original, with the Liam Niesen badass twist.
  14. So is he just rebranding all those Obama phones?
  15. It's a clusterfuck because people, including voters on the left, demand perfection from candidates. The other side gets away with verbal diarrhea and hate. Meanwhile, the left is debating whether the word "weird" was too much or too little. I don't understand why we can't just come together and accept that the left of center today is a broad spectrum, we fight it out in primaries, than coalesce around whoever wins that process.
  16. I think the issues are probably overstated for clicks everytime some version of the original article gets circulated, but there is a very real issue of masculinity being marketed to young men these days in a pretty fucked up way and it definitly has reprecussions in the dating landscape.
  17. I'm not saying the Big XII should add Memphis, I'm saying that Memphis is as high as they can get currently in G5 and they aren't going anywhere unless a Big XII or ACC opportunity arises. I also think the Big XII would be 12 teams now if the PAC had collapsed a year earlier. They would have added UU, UC, AU, and ASU only. There's a chance BYU and UH would get considered but not right away. No way UCF of Cincy get a call.
  18. I think it's as simple as the primary media sources for that generation. Joe Rogan remains the top podcast whos primary demographic is young men and we know his approach to societal issues and "masculinity." UFC and its cast of horrible characters continues to increase in popularity and eclipsed boxing a long time ago, and boxing itself has lost most of its gentlemanly charm from prior generations. WWE used to be fun with over the top characters of all sorts, now the heels are beloved and 90% of the characters are just UFC types that aren't over the top acting, they speak directly to young male ego. The WWE did add women who can perform really well and can be considered empowering but lets be real most of the fans just see them as eyecandy. I don't know the solution, you would think that if women were rejecting them, they'd figure out that being a macho man dickhead doesn't work and they'd start acting normal but the nonstop onslaught of media trying to tell them that their definition of masculinity is correct might be too much to overcome even if pussy is on the line.
  19. I don't get the continuing discussion of Memphis. The PAC having WSU and ORST has some appeal but I don't see how PAC is supposed be considered better than AAC overall. Even if there was some marginal difference, or if they manage to get more money per program in media dollars, the travel would still put them at a monetary negative. Memphis is finally upgrading the Liberty Bowl but still have issues. It's Big XII or ACC for them if they move up, not the zombie PAC.
  20. King Orange can’t pardon for state crimes so he’ll probably just have any DA that tries to prosecute arrested. Unless they can actually pin it on a “leftist” in which case death penalty. US Justice everyo everyone.
  21. You related to the pope?
  22. I don't know shit about fuck, just speculating. If America get's directly involved, we're all fucked, and I can see it being part of the crazy evangelical bring on the rapture bullshit. I'm convined these days though that most of them don't actually believe their religious bullshit and know it's all a pretext to be a supremecist asshole so they might not do it knowing goddamned well there ain't no rapture coming. I also think a nuke is going to be used relatively soon and if its used in war anywhere it's MAD thereafter. I've previously suspected that if Putin is truly in danger of losing to Ukraine outright he might nuke Kyiv out of pure desperation or as an ultimate fuck you before putting a bullet in how own skull. Maybe Bibi does it to Iran for whatever whack job reason.
