    And guess who controlled the White House and both houses of Congress when the deep cuts to mental health spending and institutions began?  Hint:  It was during the early-to-mid 60s. 

    I don't give a fuck who cut funding 50 years ago. I want someone to actually do something about this now. You say it's mental health? Fine. Let's address that. But the President and congress won't do that. It's fucking hollow deflections from transparent, hypocritical, unashamed cowards. .

    I’m not upset at all. I was only commenting on the predictability of reactions we see these days, that’s all.

    I’m very pro-Israeli and consider to be on the same team with Jews, so the murders are what upset me. 

    You know what's even more predictable? That racist homicidal maniacs with easy access to guns will go to churches and/or public gatherings and indiscriminately kill multiple people. And then those in charge will continue to blame it on "mental health" all while cutting all funding toward mental health programs. That's even more fucking upsetting.

    “A lot of energy was spent on a mistaken identity, but what we are telling you as a police agency is that we would rather do this every single day and be wrong then somebody thinks 'I don’t think this is worth calling the police and then something happens,'” says Kraus [of the Lake Charles Police]. 

     

    Thank you for that, officer.  "People say it is bad to surround and point a dozen guns at a dude, making him credibly fear he is going to be blown away right in front of his child based on literally nothing.  We would rather do that every single day."

    Thought the same thing when that dipshit said that. These fucking cops just do not get it.

    Eh, it's at least a pretty much guarantee for being immediate/relatively painless after the initial millisecond of touch down. However, not being able to say bye to ppl definitely drops its 'way to go' rating. I'd go middle of the pack. 

    I don't think it's about the impact. I think it's the terrifying descent during which one must reconcile imminent and unexpected death that would be the real kick to the balls. 


  5. Just FYI, it is normal to sign players whose positions are already occupied by current players.

    Not if you really want a guy next year and you promise not to take anyone in his position this year to remove the possibility of competition because it’s a sure thing that guy works out and we don’t need any QBs anyway. Right?

    Maxine Waters?  The resistance?  Calls to confront anyone on the right in public, antifa protesting conservative speakers on college campuses, etc, etc.

    Maxine Waters isn't the president, dipshit.

    Correct. He committed there without even visiting and having cousins that currently play for Texas.

    To be fair, everyone and their mother knew that our coach was going to get shit-canned when Dobbins went to OSU. I can at least understand his decision. Now, Garrett Wilson? If he ends up at OSU, then fuck that guy.

    My FB feed is full of people I grew up with in West Texas predicting bloodshed if the dems "seize control" with the midterm results.  They seem resigned to some loss of GOP control, and are prodding each other into escalating levels of anger and rage over the loss of the 2nd amendment and the hordes of MS-13 members that will be streaming across the border to rape, murder and pillage.  Given that, lock her up, Charlottesville, the softball shooting and now mail bombs, It got me contemplating how close we might be to a real uprising and what it would personally take for me to get to the where I am willing to take up arms against other Americans.

    I don't think we are close to some organized revolution, but I do think the context is in place for the ignition of a chain of violent events.  Most of these people preaching armed resistance are intardnet tough guys that won't act, but it takes only a small fraction to be worked up into enough of a frenzy to kick some crazy shit off.  We've already seen it happen with police shootings, corresponding riots and the cop killings in Dallas, LA, etc...

    For me, I've got young kids, so shit would have to get personally bad for us for me to risk them growing up sans padre.  Our daily life would need to be impacted, or their future to become so dark that it would trump my responsibility to shepherd them into adulthood as decent human beings.  If our Democracy went full Brisketopia, and Trumpism became entrenched and endured beyond Trump's time in office for an extended period, I would start to become very uneasy about the future world they would live in.  Basically, it would probably boil down to whether our current context is an anomaly and our democracy stabilizes after a power-shift back towards the middle.

    I'm curious what others think, either in terms of how close we are edging to a real revolution or what it would take for you personally to seriously consider violence and bloodshed as the best solution to America's internal problems.

    While you, sir, seem like a thoughtful and reasonable man, the people you grew up with are enormous fucking pussies.

  9. The taquitos and the jap cheddar sausage sandwich are insanely delicious. But nothing compares to the honey butter chicken biscuit. It's breakfast perfection. It's the Babe Ruth of fast food breakfast, while the taquitos and jap cheddar sausage sandwich are Ted Williams and Willie Mays.

    Most Olympic sprinters achieve a similar or same top speed as Bolt. He blows them away because he's able to maintain that top speed longer than his peers

    I'm no expert on olympic sprinting, but this seems like bullshit to me. The 100 meter dash is over in less than 10 seconds. Is it your position that these dudes run out of energy and slow down after like 5 seconds at top speed? Seems to me getting to top speed fastest and having a higher top speed is what makes him better. Not that he has more "endurance"

    He's been further off than simple poll aggregates in every major election - including 2012.

    The one thing Silver does in life, someone with 30 minutes and a calculator does it better.
