    You'd think the coaches would make them have eye exams as part of the process. In Worthy's case I'd add an ENT, a Psychiatrist, and possibly a Oncologist for Brian Piccolo disease.

    You neglected to mention a gynecologist for his sandy vag.

    Poor Bag, a 2%er, who is stuck with that aggy label on his degree begging and pleading, "we are better than that."

    I'm sorry Bag, your cult has demonstrated repeatedly that no, they are not better than that.  Just run away Bag, they are irredeemable.

  5. That's a bullshit call and Kiffen and ole miss are right ro be pissed.  How do they know MSU would recover.  Everyone stopped on the whistle.  This is Big12esque officiating.

  6. I didn't start this thread to handicap who will be speaker, though if that's what this thread turns into it, I'm cool with it.  I'm trying to figure out how the Speaker will be determined and the more I look into it, the more I realize I don't understand how it all plays out and I'm hoping some of the House experts in here can give an opinion on how it might play out.  I'm going to assume an R majority of about 5 seats.

    I know you have to get 218 votes to be speaker and I keep reading the Freedom Caucus may use their leverage to prevent Kevin McCarthy from being speaker.  But, what's to prevent another caucus from forming and demanding different concessions?  If the difference is really 5 votes, I guess any 5 members can say, "I won't vote for McCarthy and demand Steve Scalise!"  If that happens, couldn't 5 others not vote for Scalise?   I know there are deals that get made, but you can't make 218 individual deals and have everyone happy.

    Is there anything to prevent a coalition of moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats from voting for a particular candidate to be speaker?

    Finally, what if it's a 1 seat majority?  Do they have to hold new elections for Speaker should 2 in the majority, die, resign, get sick, or what have you?  And then do they have to do it again if a special election overturns another majority?  

    I said I wouldn't handicap it, but my prediction is Kevin McCarthy will not be speaker.  If he is, I hope it's more miserable for him than I think it would be trying to shepherd Boebert (if the cunt wins!), MTG, Gaetz, and a few of their other wack jobs.

    I'm on NO R House R Senate @ 0.28.

    I got the same except I got my shares 0.26.  

    I got Fetterman shares at 0.39 and felt like I overpaid.

    Most of my others were longshots in horserace.  For example,  McMullin in Utah and Barnes in Wisconsin.  I' need to watch the returns closely now in Wisconsin, that market is moving.

    This is actually another great fucking idea. Sure, those athletes can stay home and play for some Russian league, but we all know with their economy and sanctions, they won't make fucking shit compared to the NHL. Cut them out of the Olympics. You're taking away another avenue for Russian success and Russian pride. 

    I've wondered if this would come up and it finally may.  Alexander Ovechkin is an NHL star and I would be interested to see what  he would do if he was confronted with this.

    I'm sure there are quite a few more Russians in the NHL, but none with the star power of Ovechkin.  Last season, he tried to lay low and downplay his relationship with Putin.  I would like to see Hasek's idea gain some traction and force the issue.

    Full disclosure.  I'm somewhat a Caps fan and won't bitch at all of he were forced out over this.  We should do everything we can to stand up against evil, if that hurts my team, so be it

  9. I know that whiny pos doesn't care about the law or even the appearance of fairness, but it seems like there is an obvious legal case for unequal access to voting rights and I hope it's being filed.

    He enjoys kicking people when they are down more than your average shitheel.  Someday, he's going to get his ass kicked and I hope I'm around to take delight in it.

    Fuck me.  

    I listed a little condo for a crazy woman and closed it a little over a year ago. 

    Today, I get an email from the buyer, who I did not represent, and she's asking for my mailing address and a mailing address for the seller. 

    Well, shit...that adds up to one thing, and it's not good.   

    Her agent was cool, so I call her and ask WTF.  She says that buyer called her a couple of months ago, saying that there are foundation issues at the condo complex, and that the seller should have known and didn't disclose.    I saw no evidence of foundation issues, there were none noted in the inspection, and none of the nosy neighbors mentioned anything.   So, there's a really good chance that I'm going to get pulled into some bullshit lawsuit that has zero to do with anything that I did or did not do. 

    Seems like the issue is not with the seller (or you) but with the condo association.  If foundation issues were mentioned in a meeting, it should be in the meeting minutes and disclosed in the resale package that were provided to the buyer.  If they had gone so far as to hire an engineer to investigate, that definitely should been in the resale documents along with the results of that investigation.  You may get dragged in because they will drag everyone in, but if was a known issue to the association and not in the resale documents, you (as the agent) ought to be in the clear.  The association, on the other hand, might want to consult with their attorney and prepare their anus.

    Jan. 6 defendants held in D.C. jail request transfer to Guantanamo Bay

    WASHINGTON — Nearly three dozen people charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol who are being held at Washington, D.C.'s jail have asked to be transferred to the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, if conditions don't improve at their facility.

    On seven pages of yellow legal pad paper recently submitted in federal court, the 34 defendants described the jail in the nation's capital as having "medieval standards of living" and "hellacious conditions" that it "insists on tormenting its traumatized guests with." They demanded that their problems be addressed, saying they no longer want to be "trapped within the wretched confines of cruel and unusual punishment."


    The group listed numerous concerns and complaints about their experiences across more than two pages. They said, for example, that they "continue to endure" things like "begging for help/water/medical aid." They claimed they are not allowed visitations, access to religious services or access to their attorneys. They reported that their laundry has been returned with "brown stains, pubic hair and or reeking of ripe urine."

    The inmates said they have found "worms" in their food and have not been provided with calorie counts for meals. They wrote that "due to malnourishment," they have experienced hair loss and loss of eyesight. Defendants said they have seen mice and cockroaches in their cell blocks and have seen rust in the water and black mold on walls, floors and vents.

    Serious complaints about inhumane living conditions have been lodged against the Washington jail for years. In November, for example, the U.S. Marshals Service transferred 400 inmates at the jail because of such conditions and treatment to a prison in Pennsylvania, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The Jan. 6 detainees also wrote in their complaint that they have been presented with critical race theory "propaganda" on tablets, along with "re-education propaganda" and "racially-biased information." They claimed they have been physically harassed, Maced and assaulted by guards.

    "We hereby request to spend our precious and limited days, should the government continue to insist on holding us captive unconstitutionally as pre-trial detainees to be transferred and reside at Guantanamo Bay," said their letter, which added that the Cuba facility, which houses detainees charged with terrorist acts, provides "nutritional meals, routine sunlight exposure, top notch medical care, is respectful of religious requirements, has centers for exercise/entertainment."
