  1. Not sure this is the right spot for this, but I felt the need to share with a bunch of assholes. She would have loved it here. She was 91, and just diagnosed with covid within the last week. She wasn't doing so well for the last couple months though. She was cajun, from New Iberia, and the last generation in my family to grow up speaking French. She gave me my first beer, first oyster, and was sitting next to me in what i think was my first memory (a john boat bayou ride with alligators going under us from one side of the shore and up onto the other). She once tackled me and covered me up when i stumbled on a yellow jacket nest. She was stung 17 times, but I never was. When I was accepted into UT, she gave me this burnt orange mold of a hand doing the hook 'em horns that had to be 30 years old at that point. She was so fucking happy for me. As a father of daughters, i can only pray that I've prepared them to live their lives as she has. I'd be honored for them to have her integrity and work ethic, love and tenacity. As I'm sitting here drinking rye, listening to "I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight" on repeat, and crying my eyes out, I'm trying to push myself into being thankful for the time I had and all the wonderful gifts she's given me, but fuck I'm sad. Here's to you meemaw. If I happen to end up in the same afterlife as you, we're making gumbo and dirty rice and drinking wine in your kitchen for eternity, all day every day.

  2. Comic sans: We’re in an acrimonious period of partisan tribalism and have been for some time. Both parties are guilty of overwrought denunciations of their political opponents. My criticisms are often aimed at Democrats; on the anniversary of Jan. 6, I’m addressing squarely those Republicans who for a year have excused the actions of the rioters who stormed the Capitol, disrupted Congress as it received the Electoral College’s results, and violently attempted to overturn the election. These apologists say those who stormed the Capitol were innocent patriots, tourists visiting the seat of the national government to petition their elected representatives peacefully. We’re told that these harmless, ordinary Americans are being persecuted as political prisoners Let’s stipulate that while the thousands who went to the Capitol a year ago were wrong to insist the election was stolen, most weren’t violent as they exercised their First Amendment rights to gather peacefully on the Mall—just as I had seen liberals gather to protest both inaugurations of President George W. Bush. But last year there were several thousand protesters willing to use force to disrupt Congress in its constitutional duty to receive and certify the electoral vote. Some went to Washington with that purpose in mind. Others were swept up in the moment’s savagery, led astray by stronger wills with dangerous motives. The leaders of this group were intent on committing violence, some having planned to do so for weeks. Many wore tactical gear. Some came armed with chemical agents, flagpoles, batons and sticks. They broke through barricades and assaulted approximately 140 police officers, in some cases with an officer’s own shield or gear. They smashed doors and windows, illegally entered the Capitol, ransacked offices and searched for leaders of Congress, and made dire threats about what would happen if they found them. More than 725 people have been charged so far, and law enforcement is searching for hundreds more suspects who appear on video or social media, some recorded attacking police officers. At least 163 people have pleaded guilty, and 71 have been sentenced. Only one defendant’s charges have been dismissed. Many of the most serious trials have yet to be held, as lawyers prepare defenses or negotiate plea deals. So, on this anniversary, here’s a simple thought experiment: What if the other side had done it? What if in early January 2017, Democrats similarly attired and armed had stormed the Capitol and attempted to keep Congress from receiving the Electoral College results for the 2016 presidential election? What if Democrats claimed that Donald Trump’s razor-thin victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin resulted from extensive voter fraud and should be rejected, despite having failed to establish in a single court that extensive fraud had actually occurred? What if some of these Democrats breached the Capitol defenses and threatened violence against the Republican speaker, Paul Ryan, and Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell ? What if they insisted that in his role as Senate president then-Vice President Joe Biden had sole authority to seat Hillary Clinton’s electors from any contested states and thereby hand her the presidency? If this happened, would some of my fellow Republicans have accepted it as merely a protest? Would they have called patriots those charged with violent acts against our country, its laws and Constitution? Would they have accepted such extralegal means to change the outcome of a presidential election? No they would not. I’m certain of that. If Democrats had done what some Trump supporters did on that violent Jan. 6, Republicans would have criticized them mercilessly and been right to do so. Republicans would have torched any high official who encouraged violence or stood mute while it was waged and been right to do so. Republicans would have demanded an investigation to find who was responsible for the violence and been right to do so. To move beyond Jan. 6, 2021, we must put country ahead of party. For Democrats, that means resisting their leadership’s petty habit of aggravating partisan fault lines by indiscriminately condemning all who came to Washington that day. We Republicans have a heavier burden. I’ve been a Republican my entire life, and believe in what the Republican Party, at its best, has represented for decades. There can be no soft-pedaling what happened and no absolution for those who planned, encouraged and aided the attempt to overthrow our democracy. Love of country demands nothing less. That’s true patriotism. Mr. Rove helped organize the political-action committee American Crossroads and is author of “The Triumph of William McKinley” (Simon & Schuster, 2015).

  5. Fuck all of you. If some dares to accidentally post something about a '23 recruit in the '22 thread, they get shouted down by five posters in 2 seconds. If someone spends fifteen fucking pages about shitty movies, it is perfectly fine. Just because nothing is going on doesn't mean you should fill the fucking thread with drivel. All that does is make it difficult to figure out when shit actually happens because you have to sift through 10 pages of faggotry and rambling. When there is no rain for a few weeks, no one fucks up the rain thread with talk about movies and chicken fried cocks. When no one posts food in the Shank thread, no fill the fucking thread with talk about harry goddamn potter. There are threads for movies, there are threads for harry potter, there are threads for fucking cheese. Use those if that is what you want to talk about. Continuing to do it in this thread is stupid af.

  6. I know the "librul media" trope had been around for a while but this fuckstain took it to 11. Same with wedge issues like gay marriage and abortion. Wasn't he the adviser that led the "John McCain had a Black baby" campaign and the one that shat upon John Kerry's war record? Yeah, fuck your "both sides" bullshit. Plenty of people noted the dangerous path back then and where it might lead and were called alarmist. The crowd he trained refused to accept universal media coverage that no fraud was detected in the election, and a year ago they literally tried to overthrow a legitimate government. There is no truth for these people except what their overlords tell them to believe despite all evidence to the contrary. His role in all of this is enormous. He can fuck himself in his fat fucking ass.

  10. There comes a time that the other side has to put their fucking foot down. Spreading lies and misinformation and asking the other side to stand down for the sake of "unity" is as disingenuous a position as can be stated. The right spent 4 years investigating Hillary Clinton for some mistakes over use of a private email account. Ted Cruz just last week said a republican senate would impeach Biden for immigration policies. Just think about that, an outright admission that in the future the president might face impeachment over policy disagreements. One side has taken this shit way too far and are a legitimate threat to our continuing democracy. That side needs to give in first. Until then, the left has no choice but to fight back. I hate it, but that's really the only option at this point. What you're really asking is for the left to stand down and let the right continue their takeover, because "unity." Fuck off.

  11. Your party LITERALLY continues to excuse and protect a violent treasonous attack on MY country....so they can do it again. OVER SEVENTY FUCKING PERCENT OF GOP VOTERS SUPPORT THIS BULLSHIT LIE THAT IS BEING USED AS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE ATTACK AND MORE PLANNED ATTACKS. It's not a "fringe:" You can fuck right off to hell, you treasonous fuckstick.

  14. Is that the biggest threat? Or is it claiming in the months leading up to the election that there will be widespread voter fraud. And then after losing the election, which even the head of your DOJ says went off with no evidence of widespread voter fraud, trying to use procedural tactics and the courts to overturn the will of the people? And when that fails calling for and carrying out a violent attack on the literal halls of our republic? Might those things be a bigger risk to democracy? I just don’t know

  26. Lifelong lefties have experienced decades worth of right-wing assholes slandering the political opposition with sleazy racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, jingoistic garbage that sought to consolidate power within the GOP by running on culture war divisiveness. This is not new, this was going on during the racist dog-whistling Reagan administration/campaigns (see: states rights, Willie Norton, welfare queens etc) where that side weaponized the insult culture through people like Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, all of it culminating in the rise of Trumpism and an armed insurrection on our nation's Capitol with the goal of preventing the defeat of a disgraced POTUS. And this Donkey mfer thinks the threat to democracy is there aren't enough Rodney Kings???? The threat isn't just from the right-wing crazy reality-deniers. The threat is from lazy brains like Donkey who believe in simplistic fairy-tales about politics where "getting along and playing nice" are goals in and of themselves, bipartisan agreement is the pinnacle of virtuosity, political disagreement is to be avoided at all costs, the self-described independent voters are the key demographic, and all issues cannot have an objective right/wrong but must be always split perfectly in half so "both sides" are equally represented, regardless of how abhorrent one side may be.

  29. Necro-bump here. My kid transitioned from being an Infantryman with two combat tours, to Drill Sergeant, to fucking PILOT!. He's now a Warrant Officer, and has completed "common core" at Ft. Rucker, which means he has completed flight school, flying Airbus Lakota Helos. He's awaiting (in the next few days) his assignment to his final airframe (Blackhawk, Apache, etc) and then will have another 3 or 4 months training on that airframe, and will move on to his next posting. He's come a long way from E-1 to Warrant Officer. I'm more proud of him than I am capable of articulating.

  30. It doesn't, but I'll give a short one. Jamaal Charles's YPC dropped by over two yards from 2005 to 2006 despite the OL returning 4 future NFL players, the difference was QB play. RS freshman Colt McCoy wasn't a bad QB, but he was much worse than the previous year's QB. QB play affects what people think are OL issues just as OL play affects QB stats. Vince Young winning 7 games with this year's team is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

  34. I doubt there's ever been a moment where one of us hasn't been annoyed scrolling through pages of either bad, bad takes from football board mouth breathers, or cheese puns, or geography shit, depending on the day we're having or our mood. That's just going to be the skin in the game. But watching guys show up to the thread, who never contribute anything of substance, bitching about having to boo hoo read some words to find out info when there isn't any, all the while having years of history as a clueless poster who can't understand much of anything is...chef's kiss. So fuck it, let the good times roll.

Knows sit, down, stay and knows that when the pickup beeps, you go sit by the door of the truck. I'm really worried about her hips. Have appt with our vet on Monday but if we can give her a few good years, all will be cool. We used to have a GSD that was a trained hearing assist dog so my wife has wanted another for years.
