  1. It's kind of shitty, just like the Trump re-election campaign and the RNC merging their field and fundraising programs into a joint program called "Trump Victory"? Wonder how much fairness Weld and any other candidates who might announce will be shown by the RNC.
  2. A decade ago I quit a job I hated on the spur of the moment, and while I was looking for a more permanent position, I took a job at a private children's ranch to help with expenses. It was for kids that had gotten in trouble with the law, but the state felt they had extenuating circumstances that caused their bad behavior (usually mental health related stuff), so instead of being put in the juvenile system, they were sent to live in group home with other children their age and attend a school run by the group home (ranch). When the kids were not in school they stayed in one of the group homes where they were supervised by 2 staff at all times. I had a job as a supervisor in one of those houses. A lot of these kids had severe emotional issues. Because of that staff were given access to their files so we could better understand their situations. A large percentage of these kids, boys and girls, had been sexually abused/raped. Parents letting their drug dealers rape their kids for drugs. parents pimping out their kids for cash, parents/relatives raping the kids in their care, kids getting raped by their parent's friends (often drug related) who crashed at their house. Stomach turning shit to read about, life altering shit for these kids to experience. The girls homes were the worst. A lot of these girls were cutters and had nasty scars up and down their arms and legs. They also were the ones who had the highest incidence of sexual abuse. The ranch had a policy of only using physical restraint in cases of the children being a danger to themselves or others. The supervisors in these girls homes were always female, but when girls where a danger to themselves or others they would call in male staff from other homes to help with the situation because of what always happened next. It sucked major ass to be called to one of these girls homes to help out. When male staff were forced to restrain them for their own safety, they would start screaming they were being raped and almost always 2-3 other girls would start freaking out as well due to flashbacks about the abuse they had experienced and often had to be restrained as well due to trying to self harm or attacking staff/other girls. It would just turn into a chain meltdown among the other females in the house due to what these girls had experienced. I can't even imagine the extra damage these girls would have experienced to their mental health, if forced to carry a baby to term from the incest/rape many had gone through. And if they kept the baby and tried to raise it, the damage that would have likely resulted to the child due to the mother's fragile mental health. Why do you think people who go to prison for crimes against children are brutalized by the prison population if they find out? It's because the prisons are full of people who were physically and sexually abused as children. Unfortunately, sexual abuse of minors is far more common than we would like to think.
  3. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing Jesus he wanted Hillary Clinton to win the presidency.
  4. People are pretty much the same all over the world. Most are good, a few are bad. Some are smart, some are dumb. Some work hard, some don't. Most just want a better life for themselves and their families. More Americans need to travel abroad and learn this. Too bad only like 1/3 of us even have passports. You get a better perspective on people and the strengths and weaknesses of the USA when you live or visit other countries for an extended period of time and get to know the locals.
  5. Grats to TTU. Go win it all.
  6. Look for a nuclear South Korea and Japan in the near future. Our nukes prevented allies from developing their own since they trusted us to use them in their defense, if necessary; however, we have now become an undependable ally. Decades of relationships being torn down in less than two years based on the whims of one person. Nukes guarantee you can make any conflict no win for the other side, even if they are much stronger than you, and regardless of alliances. It's the reason NK was never going to give them up. Maybe a few Euro countries look at the option as well.
  7. It's the first time "amazing 10 inch" has ever been used in connection with Trump.
  8. When you marry a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery, you never know what kind of hobgoblins you will sire.
  9. This did not age well.
  10. I think Kansas could tell Texas and Florida to hold our beer if we were the same population size. EMAW! I shudder to think of what Oklahoma or Alabama could do.
  11. They should build the wall out of Hilary's emails. Many people seem to have a hard time getting over them.
  12. No weak stream! No weak stream! You have the weak stream!
  13. Trump is doing this so Turkey will drop their investigation into the Khashoggi murder at the bidding of his Saudi masters. Turkey gets to go after the Kurds, who we abandoned after the first Gulf war and looks like we are going to abandon again. This is terrible. We once again demonstrate we cannot be depended on as an ally on the world stage. Russia is loving this.
  14. Well to be fair to Trump, it did not have colored stickies everywhere he needed to sign. How is he going to figure it out without stickies? DO SOMETHING!
  15. Only hire announced so far. Not sure who he will retain, if any, from the previous staff; however, most seem to think Hull has been offered to be retained, but might be weighing other offers. He was the one pulling guys out of LA and was the RB coach.
  16. I like this a lot. MAC recruiter of the year in 2017. Pulled four 3 stars from GA in 2017 (8 total from GA) to Ball State . Might give us a new territory to recruit in (GA). He also played at LSU when Pelini was the DC there.
  17. The best part about being with Ivanka is you know you can measure up to her father.
  18. You blast Osborne for being a hypocritical Christian and then defend Baylor and Briles? Fuck Baylor and fuck Briles and their rape enabling ways. Yeah Briles did not pretend to be something he is not ... like a good Christian. Not hypocritical at all. Not a ton proven? Multiple players convicted of rape, a high number of women paid off to avoid going to court and having lawyers crawl up Baylor's ass with a microscope. Starr and Briles forced out. The university intentionally limited what PH could investigate then only wanted a verbal report and a short summary, not a full written report, because they knew if it got out they would be fucked in court. Baylor refusing to be transparent and hiding behind their status as a private university to avoid disclosing things that a public university would have to. The scandal was probably worse than we think because Baylor did everything they could to cover it up and then limit the damage when it got out. Are you a BU grad?
  19. She is doing just enough to stay in the will.
  20. Nice to wake up to this news in Asia. Surprised that we got him for that amount per year. I assumed $4-5M. Means we will be able to more easily afford bigger name coordinators. I assume there will be heavy incentives included. Really interested to see what he can do with recruiting this class as we have 1 recruit right now. Hiring him is a win; hiring him at that annual salary is amazing.
  21. Senate will flip in 2020. Democrats had to defend 24 seats versus 9 for the Republicans in the mid-terms. Two independents, who vote with Democrats mostly, also had to defend. Next time Republicans will do the majority of the defending of senate seats. It won't be pretty.
