  1. Jesus fucking Christ...
  2. I had the exact same experience, down to the rote memorization. I think I looked it up in an encyclopedia or tracked down it's location in the bible. Anyway, I was convinced that I was the lone heathen of the soccer team. I like to think that my coach was a good man, that he'd never intentionally make any of his players feel excluded. I think he was just looking for a way to end practice. Then you see this coach performance praying with a football in front of the Supreme Court like a Tik Tok preacher... and that tells me exactly the kind of coach and Christian he is.
  3. Top-right is looking at him the way I look at a BBQ sandwich.
  4. They will when they need an abortion.
  5. So, the next time Ted Cruz flies to Mexico, it may actually be because his daughter demanded it.
  6. And that would be my rebuttal... great minds and all.
  7. I'm sure the point he's trying to make is that SCOTUS has overturned bad decisions in past. Plessy was the bad decision overturned by Brown. He didn't word it well, because he's not good at this.
  8. Cointerpoint: They're actually okay with homophobia, misogyny, anti-democratic shit. They just want the plausible deniability of not saying it out loud.
  9. What's the point of letting him show his ass? If this were real life and he could be shamed into acting right, sure. But he's shown repeatedly that he had no shame, so we're just forced to listen to him. I say this as someone who has him on ignore, yet I constantly sees his trolling in quotes.
  10. Are you suggesting we abort the sock before it grows any more?
  11. They'll be long dead and buried. History's judgement isn't something they'll have to experience, but these Liberal tears are here and now.
  12. It's like watching Smeagol v. Gollum in Lord of the Rings... if Gollum had won.
  13. That be true if we lived in a majority-ruled society.
  14. Crazy thing that I realized today... if Donald Trump had handled his presidency the way Joe Biden is handling his, Donald Trump would have won the 2020 popular and electoral vote in a landslide. I'm talking Reagan in '84 landslide.
  15. Yes. The door is opens from the inside, but there is no way to lock it from the inside. You cannot enter without a key or unless someone inside opens the door. We used to be allowed to prop doors open or put magnets over the latches, but they stopped allowing it a couple years ago. They even sent principals around during class to close any propped doors. You are not captive in the room, but your movement in and out is limited.
  16. Nope. The keyhole is only on the outside door handle, and there is no lock/unlock switch inside the classroom. We are told to lock the classroom door from the outside and keep it locked at all times. My school also instructed us to keep the door closed at all times. If a student leaves for the bathroom they have to let back in by someone inside the room or by someone with a key. Prisons... schools... what's the difference really?
  17. He'd make Fredo look like John Wick.
  18. I was going to ask which countries he would rank higher and explain his reasoning, but you're right just identifying 3 other countries would be too much stress at his cognitive level.
  19. Yeah, that's all true too. I can see both scenarios happening exactly as we describe them. We're trying to predict the behavior of an 80 year-old toddler, it'd be fun if it didn't have actual consequences like 1M dying of a virus or the potential downfall of our republic.
  20. Trump doesn't run. The RNC will pay Trump so much money and prop him up as the Godfather meets Wizard of Oz backroom dealmaker that MADE Desantis. Trump will get everything he wants (money, influence, and the appearance of power) with none of the bothersome work that goes into being rich, influential, and powerful.
  21. We are indeed, fucked... unfortunately not by Soledad
  22. You're right, of course, but I don't know that it matters. So many people will dismiss that as "politics as usual" implying that it's something "both sides" do and will do again. Unless some substantial consequence comes out of this, I think 1/6/21 just becomes a footnote in history. I recently listened to a podcast about the election of 1876 and the chaos that led to the Compromise of 1877. I learned more of the details about what each side did to in the lead-up to inauguration, and there were so many parallels to 2020. Shit, Trump tried some of the very same tactics they used back then. Today nobody knows anything about the Election of 1876, the chaos it created, the Compromise of 1877, or that it all led to the end of Reconstruction and 100+ years of Jim Crow. I guess my point is that we didn't learn anything then. And we won't learn anything now. @Brisketexan is right.
  23. I have not finished the tweet thread, but this didn't sound right... Tex Gov. Sam Houston was against secession and suffered politically for it.
  24. The only way he's going to understand any of this is if you have a picture of Calvin peeing on the words "Your Arguement". Otherwise its all gibberish to him. I appreciate the effort and information though.
