  1. Dodgers and Pads are about to see a lot of each other. 3 in LA, 3 in SD
  2. A staff mutiny forced the management of a plush British countryside pub to turn away JD Vance, just weeks after the same venue hosted Kamala Harris, according to reports. The vice president had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire, an early 16th-century countryside pub with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a prestigious award from the Michelin Guide that highlights restaurants offering excellent food at moderate prices. However, the staff reportedly staged a mutiny, telling management that they wouldn’t show up to work if the venue accepted Vance’s dinner booking, according to a Popb---- newsletter from Thursday. The rejection is all the more embarrassing considering that former Vice President turned presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, dined there just weeks before, as part of the pre-wedding dinner for Steve Jobs’ daughter, Eve. She married Harry Charles, a 26-year-old British Olympic equestrian, in the Cotswolds, a sprawling area of natural beauty in south-west England, at the end of July. “It’s been the talk of the village-it’s the most exciting thing that’s happened here for a very long time,” one local told British tabloid The Sun of Harris’s visit. “Unfortunately, I’m not able to comment,” a staff member told The Daily Beast via phone call when quizzed on Vance’s reported rejection. She referred the Beast to the owner of the venue, Public House Group, which has been contacted for comment. Representatives for Vance have also been contacted. Charlbury, a small town near the 18th-century manor where Vance and his family stayed while in the Cotswolds, was also the scene of a colorful protest against his visit on Tuesday. The “Dance Against Vance” protest was punctuated by placards dubbing him a “war criminal,” and images of a meme that shows a bald and baby-faced Vance with rosy, swollen cheeks. Residents in Charlbury and the tiny hamlet of Dean, where the manor house is situated, quickly grew weary of Vance and his entourage of vehicles and Secret Service agents. Even the deputy mayor of Chipping Norton, not far from Dean, spoke out against his vacation. “We’ve had a curtailment of our freedoms here, just by his mere presence, in terms of where we can walk and where we can be,” said Steve Akers. “And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles.” His latter comment relates to reports that his protection detail had demanded social media profile information from those living in the area. Thames Valley Police, the British force that supported the United States during the Vice President’s visit, denied these claims, however. “Residents were under no obligation to answer any questions and were not asked about social media,” a force spokesperson said. “The whole charade was obscene. No respect,” Alice Chanders wrote on a local forum. “Good riddance….." added Rosemary Bennett, as the Vice President moved on to Scotland. He flew on Air Force Two with his family on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, the first full day of his visit north of the border, Vance played golf at Donald Trump’s Turnberry course in South Ayrshire. It comes just weeks after Trump himself visited the course.
  3. It happens often on Texags.
  4. Here's the whole transcript, and it's a doozy https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.434676/gov.uscourts.flmd.434676.100.0.pdf
  5. hey dipshit, you're MIL is about to be "homeless", and you're standing there with your cock in your hand saying "I told you so" instead of making it better.
  6. exactly. OP, you need to make a phone call. MIL should be getting FIL's payment if it's more than hers. Instead of bitching, educate yourself.
  7. not a hockey fan, but in case you missed it, one of the FL Panthers is from Sandy Hook, and he dropped by the school with the Stanley Cup a few weeks back.
  8. is Tulsa safer?
  9. My kid? 2 combat tours as 11-B. Team leader, squad leader. Drill Sergeant. Now Apache Pilot in Command. Does he need a gun class? He probably know more than the instructor. My GF's kid? Served honorably in USAF. Re-enlisted. Honorably discharged. Now serves in the Air National Guard. His service is every bit as honorable as my kid's but, if he touched a gun, he'd probably shoot himself in the dick. IIRC, he had a couple of hours at the range firing M-16's in basic. He hasn't touched a firearm since then. He would totally ask for my advice about guns, and I never served. "Military" means different shit.
  10. DO SOMETHING!
  11. I'm white as a fucking sheet. If I had any color at all, I'd get the passport card and carry it with my credit cards, etc. The passport is too bulky.
  12. I don't know a lot about CO, but a state with a gay, Jewish GOV is probably a safer place than the land of Abbott and Paxton.
  13. I know one, but he drinks too much and fucks around way too much on some website for a school he never attended.
  14. You and your husband need to get the fuck out of Texas right now. Vote with your feet. Texas doesn't want you there. As soon as SCOTUS rules, your marriage will be invalidated, by your fellow Texans. Fuck those guys. They don't like you, they don't appreciate you, and they would be much happier without "your kind". You will find a welcome home in CA, where the validity of your marriage is enshrined in our state constitution. You will find good jobs, a great climate, and like-minded people here. Move NOW. Texas will be worse-off without you (but they will be happy to see you go) It was a good idea that got vetoed by board management. I disagree with that decision. EDIT: A fucking dumbshit cocksucker that claims that prescription drugs costs will go down "1200%" needs his own thread, and, in fact, it should be the lead story on every network every single fucking night. Some dipshit that read "on the internet" about Hillary's secret sex basement at a DC pizza place got his assault rifle and drove hundreds of miles to "free the children".
  15. who really gives a shit? Great player, but who gives a fuck about his "journey"?
  16. He had a house on Lake Arrowhead. He'd stand in the front yard and wave at cars.
  17. A guy I used to know...he's Irish-American, and very wrapped up in the Irish thing. When he and his brother graduated college (about 30 years ago) they had inherited some dough from grandma's estate. They decided to take a year off, move to Ireland, and buy a pub. Just for the experience. At the end of the year, they'd sell for whatever they could get for it. He told me that priests are really hard on the bottom line, because it's widely understood that they drink for free. He said there were nights when there were more priests in the place than there were paying customers. That's from a sample size of 1, so YMMV. edit: I thought it over...it had to be 40 years ago.
  18. a real estate developer is fucking this up? who could have imagined that?
  19. I felt the same way, but went on a Celebrity cruise and enjoyed it very much.
  20. Thread's already derailed, so what the fuck... Guy I've recently become quite friendly with has lots of dough. He lives in FL. His daughter lives in the Bay area. She got married last year. He wrote a check for 250,000 for the wedding. Last year. A couple of months ago, she comes home early, and "husband" is balls-deep in a woman 15 years his senior...that he's been fucking for 9 years. Daughter loses her shit, of course. Daughter and Son in law were supposed to join by buddy and his wife on their European vacation, two weeks after she caught him. The wife comes alone and cries the entire time and ruins their vacation. To put the icing on the cake, buddy tells the daughter that when the vacation is over, he needs a week to catch up with work, then he'll fly out to SFO and go with her to meet with divorce lawyers. She sheepishly tells him that a lawyer won't be needed, as the wedding was just a ceremony/charade, and they didn't even have a marriage license. So my buddy pissed away a quarter million so his daughter could cosplay as a bride. He's livid.
  21. It's not "certain Christians", it's the great majority of them.
  22. muchos gracias. And these fuckers were really solid.
  23. austin to columbus, a party bus full of longhorns is gonna have a major "shitter's full" issue before it ever leaves the state of texas
