  1. I vividly remember sitting in my apartment off of Clayton and Cameron when the news broke.  My roommate and I just sat there quietly for a few minutes.  He broke the silence with....

     

    "Well, we're going to get fucking drunk tonight.  Let's go downtown."  And get drunk we did. 

    That was one hangover I didnt mind having.

    So weird the alt-right/now mainstream right bee-lined to using a relatively obscure fetish as their insult-of-choice to hurl at the left, as if consensual sexual acts were somehow a deep, internalized sense of shame, the very root of narcissism, only to be a bastion of this very specific fetish.

    Manafort, Stone, and Falwell could literally start an online community.

    There are three parts to the Conservative deviancy triangle:

    1.  Closeted gays who rage against homosexuals and their immoral "lifestyle".  Mike Pence and Lindsey Grahama are possible examples of this.

    2.  The cuckold who enjoy being humiliated because someone else is better at screwing their wife than they are.  Falwell, Manafort and Stone fit this mold. 

    3.  Powerful men who pay women to degrade them.  Piss, shit, domination, you name it.  This is Trump.

    To recap

    Falwell is a cuck

    Manafort was/is a cuck and his daughters have texts talking about how it was fucked up

    Bannon let his wife walk all over him and let her stay in the house after their divorce while she was with other men

    Roger Stone paid/posted ads to find men to fuck his wife

     

     

    I thought Stone also paid guys to  fuck him  too?

    Someone needs to drop a Q message that Trump has been replaced by a Deep State clone and his words cannot be trusted. He's promoting 5G!

    There is some weird stuff happening in this picture. Palin appears to be taking an oath while Trump holds up the pizza like a flag. Swearing fealty to a pedo ring?

    That picture behind Trump looks like an older dude is mounting a younger dude. Who is the minor in the photo and why are they facing the gay porn poster behind Trump? The paper plate says "Family Pizza". Hmmm... Notice how the parmesan cheese is pushed up to the "diet" Pepsi?

    Is he having a slice with Lisa Ann?

    Hanks/Spielberg/Howard are making an 8th Air Force series for HBO, and if it does well, would be fantastic to do a Pacific War series.

    I don't know that a series on the whole Pacific War is doable or even interesting enough for other than WWII junkies.    The naval side definitely but slogging from island to island fighting pretty much the same kind of battle time after time doesn't really do it for most people.   I think that's why the Pacific one done based on Sledge's book isn't looked at like Band of Brothers is.

    But back this up and you have the Marshalls raids, Coral Sea, Iron Bottom Sound/general naval fights around Guadalcanal, Midway, Marshalls/Gilberts again, Philippine Sea then Leyte Gulf (and give the Last of the Tin Can Sailors their due while talking about Halsey's wild goose chase.)   Book end it with Pearl,  Repulse and Prince of Wales getting sunk (and how that scared the shit out of the British), the ABDA disasters, PT Boats in the Philippines (BUT DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT ASSHOLE McCARTHUR!!!) as the prelude to all of it and end it with sitting in Tokyo Bay on the Mighty Mo as the surrender is made official.   Toss in the USS Indianapolis and run it during Shark Week. 

    There's all sorts of room to talk about torpedo problems, aircraft development/improvements, commanders (explaining the shift back and forth between Halsey and Spruance, etc.) and awesomely brave but possibly reckless stuff like Mitscher turning on the lights at the Philippine Sea.  Skip ANYTHING home front related.   Showing us momma back home worried about Sonny on his destroyer is worthless.   We don't need to see Flyboy's wife at Pearl worried about her handsome man.  Besides, by 1943, there were not a whole lot of dependents left on Oahu.   It was easy for the Navy to let officers bring families with them when there were only 3-4 carriers at a time operating in the Pacific.  By the end of 1943 there where 50 plus carriers, escort or fleet.   Most of those were based in the Pacific.   Home life was not a thing for most sailors or officers until the end of the war.   They left home and stayed in theater unless they were wounded.  

    This could easily be 10-12 episodes or even two 7-8 episode seasons.   Done right, this could be Band of Brothers quality.   However, there is a decided lack of cast continuity because the only ones who would pretty much be constant throughout would be the senior commanders.   What made BoB so special was the "regular guy" quality of Easy.  

     

    Oh, and someone brought up Walter Lord.   His book on the Coastwatchers is a good one.   Mostly British and Australians who really did risk life and death to watch for boats and planes coming out of Truk and Rabaul down to the Slot.    If they got caught they were pretty much dead men.

  6. I said it before and I'll say it again....  They fucked up by not making this a mini-series.  Could have opened with Pearl, done an episode on Coral Sea, emphasized the code breaking and getting Yorktown back out to sea.  The lead up to the battle on June 3 and the climax with the actual fight.  Skip all the wife bullshit and that crap.  

    The movie was just shitty as is.  There was no reason to have the Roy Pearce storyline and the Doolittle raid wasn't worth the mention either.  When Dixon calls Best on deck to see Doolittle's B-25s was just  laughable.  It's not like they had been in the hangar the whole voyage.

    And Best dropping his bomb dead center on the Rising Sun of the Hiryun? Bwahahaha.  At that altitude the bomb would have probably skidded right off.  And it's really not even known if Best hit the Hiryu.  Now, the dude had giant brass balls. Dont get me wrong.

    But the movie was shit.

    Oh, and STILL think Carriers should be named Yorktown, Lexington, Hornet, Saratoga, Ranger, Essex, Intrepid and Wasp, Enterprise (yes, I know Ford class CVN named that is coming). I'm ok with Nimitz and there should have been a Halsey and a Spruance. 

    Now get off my lawn.

    Yes the reason is fuck you don’t ask.

     

    Remote is coming for everyone.  There are just some who are still in denial.

    Yep. Our distric is heavily Trumptard.  Lots of people did not want to start online. We're supposed to let those who want back in the class start on the 24th unless they pull their heads out in the next 3 days.

  8. Our district (Humble) has said they will not release publicly when there is a case or school closure.  We'll find out by word of mouth until it's bad enough to get picked up by the news. 

    So if 3rd grade Johnny's math class is quarantining because he has Covid but he has a 7th grade sister at the middle school and a freshman brother in high school you wont know unless you had a kid in Johnny's class or Nextdoor/Facebook/Name your favorite social media shithole blows up. 

    So we got that going for us which is nice.

    Yep.  If you don't punish the perpetrators to the extreme, they will just do it again.  Shit, the way this country votes, we may only have 2 years, assuming Dems take the Senate of course.  Speaking of, if Rs hold on to the Senate, wtf is Biden going to do?  Just try and EO the country back to sanity?

    No.  You have your minority leader(s) of the separate chambers come up with common sense moderate bills and propose those to the other side.  When they hem and haw and do nothing you attack them in the press relentlessly pointing  out their slow play and disregard for legislation that benefits the American people.
