  1. I was at the game. They were volleyball setting during warmups and just generally screwing around. I get that it’s the last game of the year, fan appreciation day, etc, but the Spurs were in a worse position and they were trying to play the game from the opening whistle while those jackoffs just jacked off.
  2. Their booking has been shit since Russo was involved in it and Dana White isn’t going to be in creative in any way.
  3. Execute him… and I say that as a staunch opponent of capital punishment.
  4. ^ Well wouldn’t you know who won the pony?
  5. The Oilers had to be the only team in the NFL with two offensive skill position players that had fans misspelling their names, both first and last, as often as they were: Haywood Jeffires (a lot of people spelled it Heywood Jeffries) and Ernest Givins (Earnest Givens). Drove me crazy with that shit sometimes.
  6. Yeah Florida wasn’t exactly the intellectual capital of the country before little Ronnie came along.
  7. There's that too. It's their best theatrical work that they do alongside "pro life" and "freedom of speech."
  8. Well they do, but it's always within the framework of "thoughts and prayers are enough" and "mental illness."
  9. You could go for a hambur-gwessa and papitas with a diet coke-oh.
  10. The preferred nomenclature is “social media personality.”
  11. That and the arguments they actually do come into contact with are not the ghastly straw men at which their favorite characters on radio or TV taught them to hack. It’s a pretty big shock…kinda like if you study for years to take an algebra test only to discover minutes before it begins that it’s actually a geography test.
  12. Just a small point of order that’s actually important: FOX and AM radio are not “sources of information.” They’re social media platforms for the exact kind of invective you described. But to even call them “sources of information” for current affairs is as accurate as saying you can learn everything you need to learn about the Civil War just by reading the plaques on all the confederate statues (something a lot of southern right wingers do believe but will never allow themselves to get caught saying it out loud). If FNC/AM radio is all one consumes, one does not know nearly enough. To me, this is the most embarrassing thing: that people honestly believe that they themselves benefit from all this Trumpist falderal. They can be talked into anything, up to and including outright fascism. They can also be talked out of anything like alleviating their own plight. But once again, this is what happens when people can’t help themselves but to feed their tribalist instincts (which are about as useful as an asshole on an elbow), and convince themselves that politics is a we/they team sport where the most important decision is choosing a red or blue hat. You’ll hear a lot of them say “I don’t view politics as a team sport.” Yeah, that’s about as honest as when Ray Comfort claimed he detested religion. It’s the exact same lie, and I wouldn’t trust anyone who said that shit even if their tongue was notarized.
  13. The Sikh hurdle is tall enough for a Democrat running for president. For a Republican? Forget it.
  14. Give that whiny-assed, performative dishonesty shit a rest.
  15. I would prefer that Bannon did that.
  16. They’re an ad hoc group of social media commentators who are constantly finding themselves having to do and say abominable things to get all the likes and subscribes. They believe this is a winning electoral strategy, largely because being a Republican has a prerequisite requirement known as “believing in belief.” Let them keep believing it…after all, it’s worked so well for them since they started doing it in 2018
  17. Yeah he’s attending some conference of nuclear physicists first and then he will address this issue just before his mission to the Moon.
  18. Well yeah, as long as that voter base happens to include “the civil war was about states’ rights” types. Blatant dishonesty is in their DNA.
  19. Dude… you’re responding to someone who couldn’t whip cream with an outboard motor.
  20. Wookin pa nub in awl da wong pwaces
  21. Matt Gaetz is living proof of the Theory of Evolution… if the theory was as Mrs. Harrison put it: five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel.
  22. Yeah they stole it as well.
  23. Yeah I have no idea where it came from and it wasn't for a lack of looking around, either. The alma mater is based on a song from the Broadway musical The Red Mill, but it seems the fight song is, as you suggest, completely made up.
