I ran down Brock Fitzhenry and Jeremy Kerley while playing defense. I also caught a touchdown pass over Emmanuel Sanders. Got completely dumpstered by a Marlin team with Danario Alexander(MIzzou), Matteral Richardson(Arkansas), and DeNarian Wrighter(Arkansas)
wait... you're black?

Whatever. Meh.
This is what we've chosen, this is how we want things to be. Honestly, if you have even the tiniest desire to see things get better.....you need to be rooting for them to get much, much, worse. Like, incomprehensibly worse. Like, massacres of 50 kids a day in schools, every day.
We have demonstrated that we have a very, very high pain threshold. We don't even flinch at shit like Sandy Hook or Uvalde. The only thing that MIGHT get our attention is a Sandy Hook and Uvalde every single day. Things are going to have to get much, much, much worse before they have a prayer of getting better.
So, that means rooting for more pain, death, and suffering. If any of you see another path forward, I'm all ears, but it sure seems like "we the people" have spoken clearly on this point.
Speaking as a dad of two little ones, seeing a sandy hook once PER WEEK would be enough to just keep my kids home indefinitely. I imagine millions of parents would do the same, work be damned.... which would effectively grind the economy to a halt. And then maybe the oligarchs who don't give a shit about guns would pressure our elected officials to tell the pseudo-oligarchs who only care about guns to fuck off and pass gun control legislation.
So in general I agree with you, but I think the threshold we need to reach is not as far off from present reality.

But she WAS the party’s candidate for President. And the party declined a request by Palestinian advocates to speak at the DNC, but allowed pro-Israel speakers (which, by the way, leaders of the Uncommitted movement supported).
From my conversations with Muslim friends, merely allowing a Palestinian voice to speak briefly at the convention would have gone a looooong way. It was about showing a path forward and hope. The party fucked that up as badly as it possibly could have, which is a high bar for the lovable blue losers.
Democrats gonna democrat.
They let fear guide their decisions on this, per usual. Can't give a Palestine sympathizer any speaking time for fear that they'll say fuck the prompter and go off-script. That might hurt the goals of raising $1B to run ads pandering to Liz Cheney's friends.

I think/hope that the Brisket's on this board aren't actively cheering for the extermination of innocent people to teach a lesson to some Americans who voted against the best interests of said innocents. I think it's more an attitude of "this extermination is actively happening, and voting for the fascist will ensure the job is finished, while a vote for the alternative offers some hope that it'll end sooner rather than later - so all you fucktards threatening to withhold a vote or vote 3rd party better come to your fucking senses".
And since they did not, the "I told you so" part of us is looking forward to telling them "you voted for this, go fuck yourself". Same with the undocumented people who went maga and are now on the doorstep of being deported. The ugliness in all of us, myself included, is taking up a lot more space in our brains post election. Anger/Lewis Black is manning the controls for the foreseeable future.

No. The future can be much, much, much brighter than that. Ignore Trump, he sucks. He's awful. Not just repellant to our aesthetics and values, but he's actually garbage at building anything meaningful.
Look very slightly back in the past to see what we can actually do.
The problem with Obama is he eventually fell in line with the Dem party establishment and became a run-of-the-mill corporate democrat. Likely also a big reason a bunch of Dem candidates coalesced behind Biden to make sure Bernie didn't get the nomination in 2020.
I think by "trump-type" figure, we need someone who is not beholden to the corporate overlords puling the strings in DC. And who doesn't give a shit about decorum or past demons coming to light. Ideally someone who can raise a bunch of money off of their previous celebrity status. Jon Stewart comes to mind right away, but he'd never run IMO.

I am almost positive that during Obama's tenure the "cages" were created. I could be wrong though. After the first 4 years Obama was heavily criticized and he softened his stance on the border and deportations. The point is I don't think we are going to see 7 million people deported.
My memory is fuzzy on this but IIRC, the cages were used solely to house the children of known criminals who crossed illegally - primarily drug and human traffickers. The parents were kept in jails awaiting trial and deportation and Obama admin had the cages made so the kids wouldn't have to stay in jail with other (presumably dangerous) criminals.
Again, I could be way off on that but that's what I remember hearing from my sister who is an immigration attorney in the Valley.
Trump used the cages to separate families who entered through ports of entry to LEGALLY claim asylum. And of course he did it so incompetently that some families had to wait months to be reunited.

“Courts.” You’re adorable.
They’re going with Operation Wetback 2.0. Grab them, ship them across the border within hours. No process, no courts.yep. remember those scenes from Handmaids Tale where they grabbed women and stuck them in the back of police cars and vans to take to Gilead? I'd imagine Trump-style mass deportations would be closer to that than any type of detainment and due process.

My shock and rage have mostly disappeared. This laughable country deserves everything coming to it. A chimpanzee with the nuclear codes, Elmo crashing the economy, RFK heading up the FDA or CDC. This shit's going to be more hilarious than aggy football in November. They break it; they own it. Sure, people will die due to their incompetence. Otherwise, enjoy the laughs.It's not the dying that makes me sad. Everyone dies.
It's the preventable suffering that will slowly be inflicted upon people - primarily the poor, immigrants, and women. Add in some child suffering due to roll backs of vaccines and the continued deconstruction of public schools... like, as a parent of young kids, is it not a DUTY now to explore moving the fuck out of Texas or even the US? Feels like it's the least I could do for my kids future.

Yeah. They're fucking pathetic. When my daughter lived in Sweden, her flatmates would bitch about her cooking because it used a lot of onions and "onions are spicy." Pathetic.
Whatever. Laws don't apply to billionaires, especially white ones. Late-stage capitalist oligarchy out front shoulda told ya.

the quickest way to flip Texas, increase voter turnout in Houston and Dallas ….
Think about how much everyone fucking hates ted cruz. Now recall how popular and likeable Beto was. And how many of us had hope, largely because of polling numbers, that a likeable decent person could beat a shitstain fuckstick of a man... and then he lost.
Also consider that abbott won Uvalde county in a landslide. Texas is firmly red and any other assertion is fake news IMO.

There has been long term rumors about recordings made during the Apprentice filming that the exec producer has refused to acknowledge or deny they exist. And while he might own the rights to the media, it doesn’t mean others don’t have copies and could release without his permission.
Sam Harris has said a few times on podcasts that he's confirmed the hard 'R' video exists. Wouldn't elaborate on how he knows but he said he was 100% certain. But as others have pointed out, it would barely move the needle at this point because it would surprise precisely no one.

Nobody wished harm on them that I recall. They said they wouldn't feel bad when it happened. That's a significant difference.
Also, you are incorrect that a reasonable assessment based only on Arab relations would result in a vote for Trump. That's an absurd thing to say, really. Your argument makes more sense when you stick to ascribing their decision to emotion (they've seen people die) than reason. Because reason doesn't explain it, not even close.
I believe Js1 mentioned a nuke. Though it may have been hyperbole, nukes don't tend to explode in 5x25 mile rectangles. Nobody should be indifferent to a nuke hitting any part of that region.
And I agree with the emotion part. Seeing the horrors of war on a smartphone elicits some kind of feeling, speaking personally. Of course I'm able to try and think logically so I know trump will almost certainly make it worse. But I'm not muslim and have no family in Palestine.

NO, they have been fed disinformation and propaganda to get a result.
It worked.
I don't think this is accurate. Every major media outlet has a story/article when the Biden admin approves another round of weapons to Israel. Not disinformation.
And everyone who has tiktok, twitter, or instagram can see videos of kids with half their face missing or limbs blown off. I have an instagram I share with the wife and the ONLY people we follow are parenting experts, psychologists, teachers, etc. And several times now I've opened the app and the first fucking thing I see is a dead kid from Gaza. I don't think it's propaganda.

Your contention is that Kamala should have been trying harder to convince Biden to halt all weapons to Israel? And you want her to win the election? Because those two thoughts are completely incongruous.
We'll see what her actions are as POTUS, but, right now, she has absolutely no choice but to walk the tight rope.
That's correct. It's the moral thing to do. Complete weapons embargo until Israel demonstrates that they're at least trying to avoid killing innocent kids - maybe force them to stop bombing schools and refugee encampments.
Winning the election has to be about more than just getting the most aipac money they can so they can buy ads telling people how horrible Trump is... everyone already knows.

No. What they see is a slaughter that is being supported by the current US administration, and they refuse to support it. I don’t think they’re making the best choice, because I believe Democrats are more likely to come to their senses and rein in Israel. But I also can’t blame them for (a) not voting for the party whose current leader is providing material support to Israel and (b) believing a change will improve the situation, because it’s already as bad as it can get.
If you can’t understand why someone might not vote for a party that currently has the power to stop a massacre but is instead paying for it, then you’re a fucking heartless idiot.
Generally agree, but I think the bolded part is very hard to have faith in seeing as the current VP evidently cannot (or doesn't care enough to) rein in her senile boss enough to stop sending weapons to aid in a genocide. I mean, yeah there's *some* glimmer of hope that the Dems will tire of seeing dead children on social media and tell Bibi to get fucked, but it's hard to vote based on a glimmer. Of course the other side is a damn-near guarantee that the suffering will continue so voting for the fascists makes zero sense. Maybe the bad poll numbers are just very angry people venting and they'll come to their senses or at least stay home on voting day.

I’m not an expert, but I think wind tends to be more of a horizontal force. I don’t believe it exerts a strong force downward like water would.
CE here and I think this is correct. The water weight helps counter the horizontal forces (both wind and water). But I would imagine that the high cost per sq ft of fence includes some form of anchoring to help stability during high winds.
