    This. Yeah we all wanted to see the spectacle but that was never happening. They were as guilty as shit and didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell surviving that case were it to have gone to the jury, and they knew that. The best they could have hoped for was to settle with terms that allow them to be as swagger-ish as possible about it. 

    That last line in the tweet was a good move, though. Fox loses either way with it.

    Spurs Mavs to wrap it up. What a matchup! cue the McGregor-whos-that-gif

    I have a dim hope that Silver takes away the Mavs top 10 pick for faking injuries and sitting starters/pulling Luka vs the Bulls. I'd love to see the Cuban pout face over that. Probably just get fined though, if anything.

    Here's to one final TST.

    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.

    White needs to clean house. Their creative team is shit.

    Their booking has been shit since Russo was involved in it and Dana White isn’t going to be in creative in any way.

    Amazingly enough, it was spelled Jeffires. The first time I saw him play in preseason I thought they had fucked up and just misspelled his name on his jersey…

    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.

    I mean the only criticism I would have is that I would want variety from those taco trucks. I need representation from all regions of Mexico. 😄

    You could go for a hambur-gwessa and papitas with a diet coke-oh.

    This kind of shit is why we're fucked as a society. If I was a bad faith actor trying to stir shit up, I would have "reported" that I'm hearing that Fetterman's condition is even worse than they're letting on, and his team is trying to determine what the best path forward is before making it public.

    Nuance, believability, probably even a kernel of truth in there.

    But, nah, these days you can just go off the fucking deep end--"He's brain dead, and they're going to put him on ice until September, so Democrats don't inevitably lose the special election...you know, because GOP candidates have been doing so great lately in PA state-wide elections"--and plenty of people will still lap that shit up.

    The preferred nomenclature is “social media personality.”

    It's like they really never come into contact with anyone who doesn't agree with them on everything.

    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.

    You're only left with FOX and anti-Lib radio. You adhere to this narrow source of information (such as it is) and opinion (invective) only to come here and suggest that anyone who doesn't believe as you do is brainwashed.

    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.

    You will be the death of this republic. You support fascists who tried to overthrow an election. You'll probably feel saved if/when the overthrow succeeds. You will do this by declaring, without irony, that you and people like you saved the republic from illusory enemies.

    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.

    The GQP is not a serious political party.

    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

    He gargled Trump's balls and chugged the gravy during his previous gubernatorial campaign -- shit like pretending to "build the wall" with his kids and whatnot.  He's 100% a pandering, racist piece of shit.  100%, as in there is not a single molecule of his being that is anything BUT a pandering racist piece of shit.  But he'll get support from plenty of "I'm not racist, I just like his policies" types, even though all of his fucking policies are racist/hate-based pandering.

    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.

    Lol

    I’ve my share of encounters with folks who wanted to take a swing at me. Most didn’t, but I gave them the opportunity. Those who did learned I can do more than just take a punch. Never threw one first, though.

    Dude…

    you’re responding to someone who couldn’t whip cream with an outboard motor.
