  1. I wouldn't even put it past some of the gentlemanly, old school class acts of the early UFC like Ken Shamrock or Tank Abbott.
  2. All fair enough but I'm going to judge a college kid a bit differently than a 60 something year old man like Clemens. A lot of the people on this board (not me, I'll have you know) were Republican YCT types back when they were in college. I'll allow a person some time to grow out of that idiocy. Also, Roger is a piece of shit for a whole host of reasons other than politics: narcissism like giving all his kids names that start with K, using PEDs then blaming his wife and doing the Lance Armstrong thing where he tries to destroy the lives of his accusers, a likely affair with a 15 year old when he was 28, hitting Mike Piazza in the head because Piazza used to kill him (8-19 in 22 plate appearances with 4 homers and 10 rbis) along with the bat throwing incident. Always denial, never apologies for any of his awful behavior. Fuck Roger Clemens.
  3. First, they came for John Bolton and I said nothing because fuck that guy and may the leopards feast on his ugly face and grotesque mustache. Then it occurred to me that these assholes aren't going to stop with John Bolton.
  4. He said the same about the El Paso shooting.
  5. Even though it's blatantly unconstitutional, I'll say it's much more likely he'll be on the ballot in '28 than in the ballet.
  6. I have several back home type facebook friends that frequently post memes about AOC that are an unflattering picture of her with a caption that'll always be something she never ever said. One of those captions recently was "If we ban Tik Tok, the clocks won't work." Some of those dipshits actually seemed to think it was a real quote. They frame the narrative of AOC as her being a bimbo, too far left, out of touch with regular people. Then people just go along with it and don't counterpunch. The counterattack is "what did she ever actually say that you think is stupid or that you even disagree with?" Nah, let's just let the Maga dispshits frame all the issues and retreat. Just resign ourselves to we gotta nominate old straight white men to have a chance. It's either fascist lunacy or Chuck Schumer and his reading glasses.
  7. To me, this is the blueprint for responding to all the accusations about woke, pronouns, latinx, litterboxes, or whatever. Dismiss the attack and counterpunch. "What the hell are talking about?" "Let me ask you a question..." followed by one of the painfully obvious counterattacks that's just sitting there wide open. I'm not saying we abandon anyone or cooperate in any way with their fucked up agenda but always call them out for their stupid deflections and don't let them always be the ones to raise or frame the issues.
  8. It was back in '95 or '96, I worked at the Black Eyed Pea on South Lamar when it was rebranded as Black Eyed Pea Market Grill. Some changes I remember were we started having to wear white long sleeve dress shirts and black pants rather than the polos and khakis, smaller portions, smaller glasses for iced tea and water, and the introduction of this chicken pasta marinara dish that was pretty horrible. It became Pluckers not long after that.
  9. Except don't they put cinnamon in it?
  10. Maybe kinda racist but never trust a person with no lips. There are countless examples of them being awful.
  11. What should be a way bigger part of this whole Epstein story is the scale of the trafficking ring and the extensive, sustained, and continuing coverup. I just scrolled my phone's newsfeed and nothing about Epstein for the top 50 stories. Just looked at CNN.com and not a damn thing about Epstein that I saw. The story has died for now even though Maxwell was just this Friday transferred to the country club detention facility. And, hahahaha, we all seem to be largely pinning our hopes on MAGA, QAnon dipshits staying pissed off about this. The free press is dead. Consolidation, right wing bullshit, control of media by the new mega billionaire class, the end of outlets like daily newspapers with nothing taking their place is what brought us here. The president's involvement in a child fucking sex trafficking ring used to would've been a story with some legs. It's estimated that there were as many as 1000 victims. Not a single living man has had any sort of criminal consequences. The one woman that was ever held to account now sits in the softest detention facility imaginable awaiting a likely pardon or commutation against the wishes of the victims. I know they've successfully flooded the zone with other outrages but I can't help but think about how different this would've been in the past. These are such bizarre times. Again, adjust your expectations downward, evermore past what you imagine to be the bottom of the abyss, you sweet summer children of the ledge.
  12. I used to feel this cartoon was perfect but lately it bothers me that the rich man's cookie pile isn't way bigger for the sake of accuracy. If hard hat man's one cookie represented a net worth of $500,000, rich man's cookie pile would be at most $15 million. If rich man has a net worth of one billion, that's 2000 cookies. If that were Elon, Bezos, or Zuckerberg the cookie pile would be need to be between 450,000 and 800,000 cookies. Anyway, here's a picture of those 3 at the inauguration with some other rich pricks. Between those 3 people, they have about 1.8 million cookies if hard hat man's cookie represents $500,000 net worth.
  13. This is unfortunately so true. NPR seems to have as much fear of being labeled biased as anyone in media. If Ana had ever listened to 5 minutes of NPR, he'd realize he's a minor league both-sideser compared to them. On the other hand, public broadcasting stands out as different and better than most because it's less concerned with profit and with doing the propaganda work of mega billionaire owners.
