  1. So I know this is an old show I guess and probably talked about on this thread at some point but just started watching, “The Chef Show” with Roy Choi and John Favreau.  Really enjoying it.  It’s like a more “cheffy” version of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives without having to listen to Guy Fieri but you still get the food porn and more cooking techniques.

    Even in a world where Trump is president - this seems like a really big fucking deal. 

    US intelligence reports that Russia is offering bounties on US troops and the president does nothing about it. 

     

    Actually, that’s not true, Trump did something - he tried to force Russia into the G8 over the objection of our allies and invited Putin to the White House. 

     

    This is one can’t just fade away. Can it?

    I asked Putin if he was doing this and he very strongly in that beautiful masculine voice said, “no” and I believe him so what do you want me to do since this is fake news?   -Trump

    Why did I read that “Always, Always, Always” like he was saying Marcia, Marcia, Marcia?

  4. After completely falling apart the last few weeks with a 100, 101, and a “stop counting score after 3 holes I suck so bad” I dropped $80 on a lesson and read the Art of Putting.  Went out today and shot a 92 but really struggled with the short game other than putting.  I have not rolled the ball that well ever and I just read the book this week and haven’t really practiced what the book teaches yet.  I have never been taught how to putt after all these years so maybe just learning the grip he teaches in that book and the motion helped but it was quite enjoyable.  Now I just need to read Art of the Short Game and maybe that will help my chipping and get me back to mid 80s.

    The GOP healthcare plan is to keep things as they are so they can therefore outlive you.

    Prove me wrong.

    The GOP health plan is to figure out as many ways as possible to funnel extra money out of the public sector and into the private sectors they can make more money.  As far as actual health care for the citizens of this country I don’t think they care one way or another as long as the corporations involved and Wall Street make enough money (along with the GOP politicians)

    That's Nandor the Relentless, sir.

    Yeah, I know.  Wanted to point out he is a vampire for the uninitiated to the greatness of that TV show.  Knowing he is a vampire makes the scene so much better.

    SIAP. This woman manages to hit all of the highlights in a minute and a half: wearing masks, Hillary, the deep state, pedophilia etc...
     

     

    She seems sane.  Anybody doubt that if she ran for congress in a red district she would win?  Hell, she could run for senate in Alabama and if she somehow was on the ticket against a Democrat like Doug Jones that state would vote her in.  Freaking ignorance is something to behold.

    I'd heard that the Amazon Dark Tower and HBO GoT prequels were dead.  Are they back on?

    I think they canceled one of the GOT prequels with Naomi Watts so they could focus on another one that is based on House Targaryen.  It’s called House of the Dragon.  HBO bought the full prequel series or something like that.  

  9. Shot a 101 yesterday.  Can't seem to make a good golf swing with any club.  Called the pro at my club and set up a hour lesson for tomorrow.  Maybe he can fix me although I am worried he will see my swing and tell me to quit golf and take up water polo.

    I hope it's not the end the story and that Trump threatens to arrest people who make bogus ticket requests. 

    Although more likely he'll run with the "violent protestors kept thousands of people away" angle. Because he's always looking for pathetic excuses for his failures, especially if they demonize his opponents. 

    This is what his campaign is running with.  Just watched a few minutes of Chris Wallace this morning and some Mercedes lady said most of the people wanted to attend but were afraid because of all the violent protesters.  Sad.

    Did he just advocate for imprisoning people who burn the flag?

    For one year!

    This would work if not for that document.....what’s it called.....Oh yeah, the Constitution.  

  12. So on CNN the header is about small crowd at Trump Rally.  Switched to Fox and the ticker says Trump saved 100K lives.  This is some sick awful propaganda by Fox.  The first thing Biden should do if elected is fix the Fox and OAN issue.

    I've said it several times -- part of me wishes that Roe v. Wade would get completely reversed, so that states that want to ban abortion can.  Because that is literally the ONLY reason that many folks try to use to claim any sort of "moral high ground" when it comes to Trump.  It doesn't matter what evil he does, "at least he doesn't support murdering babies!"  Okay, let's take "baby murder" out of the mix.  NOW what's your moral high ground?

    There isn't one.  Abortion is just a pretext and excuse for white evangelicals to support their actual loathsome beliefs, many of which relate to dark-skinned people being a plague.

     

    Not sure what you are arguing so I may get this wrong but if Roe was overturned these same people would jump to their next cause.  I am guessing it would be we need more religion in public schools.  After that they could go back to attacking gay rights, welfare should be done by the church not by the government, etc....  There would never be an end until we are a backward assed Christian Theocracy (No offense to the sane Christians on this forum).

    Is this real?  Maybe he should just pass the SC justices a note with that question and a yes/no check box.  Just make sure the teacher doesn’t see you passing the note.  What A Loser.
