  1. Generally speaking, the 5th Circuit is a bit right of Alito and Thomas. That particular panel, though, was on the liberal end of things.
  2. Over generalization, perhaps, but not wrong. Accurate Christian extremists supporting a bunch of Jewish extremists because the Christian extremists want to accelerate the end of the world Accurate while the Jewish extremists believe that their sky daddy gave them some special dirt along with permission to kill everyone who's already living on that dirt. Accurate a bunch of Muslim extremists pissed off at the Jewish extremists because some magic man floated up to a sky paradise from that piece of dirt, plus, they were already there. Accurate This, and an unquenchable thirst for oil, is what's driving our foreign policy for a big ol' chunk of this little blue dot we all have to share.
  3. False premise. The original question was: is Iran a nuclear threat to us or the world? That question subsumes both whether they're close to a nuclear weapon, and, like North Korea, whether being a nuclear power poses that much of a threat, really. A different question was whether Iran was a terrorrist threat to us or to anyone else. The clear answer to that is yes. But that wasn't the casus belli. And, as usual when we provoke Islamic terror states. there is a high possibility of terroristic action.
  4. Fuck LSU. Just saying.
  5. It's intentionally ambiguous. In some circumstances, it's perfect. I like to use it on posts with sexual content. The more outre, the better.
  6. And many we fumblefucked away.
  7. Russia doesn't give that much of a fuck about its own Orthodox citizens and fuckin expelled most of those Jews or made life unpleasant for them. That's a smokescreen for something else. Just like today, US politicians are mostly deathly afraid of crossing/losing AIPAC. There may have been some actual concern at one point for worldwide Jewry but it's pretty much all AIPAC and Fundy eschatology these days.
  8. We fumble fucked around with end stage Gus and Augie and here we are.
  9. This is all pig's fault.
  10. What's really incongruent is the number/quality of plastic surgeons.
  11. The loser switch sides is an interesting thing the ladies do.
  12. Except for the the part that brought us here. That kind of sucked big ass dick.
  13. Goddammit. Fuck you Coastal. No Anthony Marks on this team.
  14. Other than the pig shitjinx I have found this to be a boring ass CWS.
  15. Yeah, our main ally in this seems to have pretty outstanding intelligence, among other capabilities. That might place this firmly in the W column in other circumstances. Like with a more reflective and deliberate president, with competent advisors, and relying on straight Israeli Intel. The politics are such that I don't think we can trust Israeli intelligence, or what they'll give to us on this. Referring here to the urgent need for this strike and also any reported results of it.
  16. Here's the thing, though. As alluded to above, the average American will never know whether the Iranian nuclear program was actually damaged or destroyed. Hell, even the directors of the CIA and DIA will never know for sure. But someone, who lies an awful lot, is going to tell the average American that he destroyed Iran's nuclear program. Certain elements of society will gobble that right on down. Others will remain skeptical, as they should. Am I allowed to hate that state of affairs? And that orange buffoon taking complete credit for something that may not have even happened? And either way, we have set into motion a chain of events that will extend quite into the future that no one can predict.
  17. The biggest single issue is, just like the last 20-30 years, we don't KNOW where their nuclear program "is at." Even if it is currently destroyed, I'm guessing we gave them a huge motivator to start it right back up, and apace this time. If you think this is some kind of final solution to the Iranian nuclear problem, I think you are deluding yourself.
  18. Sobering piece. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/middle-east/america-verge-catastrophe-middle-east
  19. I got more gibberish than the Bible got Psalms.
  20. I loved it. Dirt. Bags. All the way. Ten strikeouts isn't what you expect from a team with no player having double digit HR.
  21. I was just expecting more dirtbagginess from Coastal. Disappointed. Great pitching from their starter, though.
  22. Well, wish there weren't two outs in the last AB.
  23. There was a good bit of luck for LSU on that, as well. Like blOwU softball. I don't think they're all that, but you can't dick around with them.
  24. More pffffttttffft.
