    Du Plessis is gonna skullfuck Strickland

    I'm afraid so.

    DP is honed in on his goal and this is the culmination of his life's work. Strickland, if you believe his words and past performances, is more at peace banging in the center of the Octagon for the delight of the masses and his own masochism. This often works, but sometimes he just doesn't have it mentally to finish the kill. He admits to not watching his past fights or that of his opponents. He doesn't take fights to the ground and pledges not to in this one. Good luck with that strategy.

    However if DP presses for two rounds without inflicting too much damage, there is a chance for Sean to start to pour it on and DP's power to be limited. DP had septum surgery and his cardio is much better.

    Strickland has made up with DP although the media and UFC will try to hype it the other way. The only fight that seems to be tinged with true animosity is Raquel Pennington vs Mayra Bueno Silva fight. I don't know enough there.

    Sorry to rehash the facts but I just heard a radio report about the DOJ conclusions.  So the cops arrived just 3 minutes after the shooting began and did nothing for over 70 minutes?  So is it correct that the cops continued to hear shots during those 70 minutes and still did not engage the shooter?  

    SIAP,

    Even worse, an officer had him in his crosshairs before he even entered the school but was afraid of down-range consequences of missing. So he called in for permission to shoot, but got no reply.

    What I'm reading and hearing is that Texas doesn't want the influx of brown immigrants, illegally for sure and probably not too many of the legal ones either, and that just because we are geographically abutting the brown countries the US response, to these people, seem to be "Too bad, just deal with it and you are a racist if you don't like it."

     

    40-50% of construction jobs in Texas are immigrants. While you might think that means roofers and day laborers, it is also a lot of middle class jobs like heavy machine operators and the running of crews. But as stated many times Texas/Texans/Americans are all addicted to value and low prices, and Republicans have no interest in solving this problem going back decades, and most people don't care to be informed.

    I'm sure the numbers are much higher in other industries that employ the 3rd party contractor or recruiter model - like landscaping, cleaning services, child care.

    We were promised that the private market would ensure that there would always be enough electricity. The other promise was that prices would remain low because of competition.

    Can someone remind me again of the benefits of our electricity system?

    We can just shutdown the Bitcoin machines. No fear.

  5. Movie starts off in black and white and a traveling trailer home, great. But start the GD movie with the oldest son, 6 at the time, being alive and the tragically being electrocuted and drowning in the snow with a young Kevin finding him and a Fritz blaming God/himself for not being there.

    This is where the story and curse starts. Then get into all the growth and good shit before hitting us with the next tragic buildup, David’s developing sickness and feeling forced to wrestle through it in Japan. Kerry, I believe, soon thereafter won the title from Flair in Texas Stadium, bringing the whole state of Texas to healing.

    Also left out where a brain cancerous Fritz pulled a gun on Kevin threatening him “that he was the one son that didn’t have the courage to kill himself like his brothers.”

    A lot of the other stuff I could work with.

  6. Strickland is scared of success, it’s pretty obvious. And it makes sense with his childhood. Don’t like the pressures and confusion of suddenly attaining your highest goals, then tell your boss in press conference that you “don’t give a duck about the belt” and risk getting a title fight canceled one month out due to injury.

    I’m pretty sure he doesn’t drink, thank god.
