  1. another one - Michigan According to records obtained by Metro Times, State Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) — the same lawmaker who introduced legislation in September to ban all online pornography statewide and who has compared porn to heroin — appears to have maintained an account on Fling.com, a pornographic dating site that promised users they could "find sex" and "get laid tonight." It's almost disappointing how predictable this whole delicious new development has turned out to be. Can we not get a principled anti-LGBTQ+ conservative out here? Do we not even deserve that dignity?
  2. There's video of what Adam Schiff said (linked) but it's better in print because you don't have to listen to Spam make a mockery of the US by interrupting him with the most childish statements you can imagine. TNR published it. “I think it’s valuable that the American people get a sense of what you’ve refused to answer today,” Schiff told Bondi. The following questions are those that Schiff noted went unanswered, or were met with personal attacks, by the attorney general: 1. Did Bondi consult with career ethics lawyers when she approved Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million jet gifted by Qatar’s royal family? 2. Who ordered that Donald Trump’s name be flagged in the FBI’s review of the Epstein files? 3. Did Homan keep his $50,000 from the undercover agents? 4. Did Homan pay taxes on the $50,000? 5. Did DOJ prosecutors determine there was “insufficient evidence” to charge former FBI Director James Comey before he was indicted? 6. How did the administration determine whether U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean were legal? (Here, Bondi interrupted, asking the senator, who worked for the justice department before his career in politics, “Do you have a law degree, Senator Schiff?”) 7. Did Bondi discuss indicting Comey with Trump? 8. Did Bondi approve the dismissal of antitrust lawyers who opposed the Hewlett Packard–Juniper merger? 9. Does Bondi support a “compensation fund” for people prosecuted in connection with the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots? 10. Is Bondi firing career prosecutors for working on January 6 investigations? 11. Does Bondi think government officials must follow court orders? After concluding the list, Schiff made the following statement, though he was peppered with interruptions from Bondi—who brought up red herrings, such as wildfires and riots in his home state, and threw personal barbs, calling the senator a “failed lawyer.” Schiff implored members of the committee to “demand answers to those questions” and to refuse “personal slander as an answer to those questions.”
  3. haha yeah I guess I need to change my avatar but the douchebag will be ratio'd soon enough
  4. As you know but reinforcing the point, attention is just a small part of what the WH wants. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/opinion/trump-miller-kirk-aftermath.html?unlocked_article_code=1.r08.Yb1n.KsSCqgASfVIr&smid=url-share "The quickest way to piss people off is to send soldiers into their neighborhoods especially when there's no reason for them to be there. It's inherently provocative, and Trump and his team understand this. Research by the political scientist Robert Pape shows that the single most powerful predictor of suicide terrorism is the presence of foreign troops on local soil. People hate, hate, hate that. They hate the humiliation, the powerlessness, the feeling of being occupied. Once citizens begin to view their own government's security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump's team knows this. In fact, that's the point. They are not trying to restore order; they're trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns. In the end, violence serves their ultimate end: They want to create the illusion of disorder so they can tighten control and stay in power indefinitely."
  5. I agree the post implies that but it's not verified and he's not saying one way or the other. Someone must've gotten paid. The same person as above cited this https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/north-texas-pastors-step-down-removed-amid-controversies/
  6. maga threats to Rutgers history professor - turning point and others in on it
  7. magat violence cont'd... this one's horrific
  8. Unforgotten - agree. Fantastic. Blue Lights - somehow I hadn't noticed it but I've added it to my list. Gets great reviews. The Gold - had already added to my list based on the trailer. Looked like a must see to me. Karen Pirie - another British detective show. Season 1 was three years ago and episodes from S2 have just started dropping. S1 was near top-tier but haven't had time to get to S2 yet. Another good show from this year is Ludwig, where this time it's the detective who goes missing. It's on the lighter side but sophisticated and enjoyable. Also on the lighter side, the third spin-off from the Beyond/Death in Paradise series is out and imo it's a big upgrade from the first two - Return to Paradise. Based/filmed in Australia, it feels more like Brokenwood but with 1 hour episodes and a female lead detective.
  9. Oops another white republican christian pastor friend of dotard presenting as cis-gendered did it again https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/trending/article/montgomery-baptist-child-pornography-arrested-21071031.php https://archive.is/XOgMj
  10. in case you're confused, the preamble to this is what that nazi bitch Miller posted last night but I'm not giving him oxygen
  11. I'm not saying they are. But I would have accepted the W and the season wouldn't be hanging by a thread.
  12. Just two plays likely would have been the difference between victory and defeat yesterday. As badly as they played, the game likely would have had a different outcome but for the blocked punt and the errant throw by Wingo. That's rather amazing given what we saw in shitty OL play, lack of run game, crappy tackling and questionable defensive schemes.
  13. WHAT A SHITTY THROW!! Oh. Okay. Cleaned my glasses.
  14. it's probably already been answered bc this thread is moving fast but he was back out there. Announcer said it was a brace on his leg but on the quick look they gave it looked like a compression sleeve.
  15. There was a second text exchange that got exposed about this very topic earlier in the week. I had missed it and don't recall seeing it here. I dunno, maybe it's already gone into the memory hole. Just incredible. "Just a heads up. I am getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate. We bailed out Argentina yesterday and in return, Argentina removed their export tariffs on grains, reducing their price to China at a time when we would normally be selling to China" “Soy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us,” the message continued, with Rollins adding: “On a plane but scott I can call you when I land.”
  16. I figured as much. It wants to suck my dick so badly he even mimicked my name. I blocked it 25 minutes ago.
