  1. This one? https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/john-kelly-trump-offered-private-praise-hitlers-generals-rcna176664 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-hitler-generals-military-b2633842.html https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-military-generals-hitler/680327/
  2. Yeah I just saw the CNN story. Fucking assholes need an extra-hot place in hell.
  3. Yep. I pretty much alternate between 'dipshit' and ...
  4. As a baseball coach of 12-18 YOs for many years, I heartily approve this statement.
  5. I was wondering when that was going to happen.
  6. Good point. I forgot about that. IIRC Kamala's McDonald's job was in 1983, same year I started at UT (the real one, not Tennessee).
  7. Exactly. Absence of proof is not proof of absence, and McDonald's acknowledged they don't keep records that far back. Sometimes, especially back then, if you made less than x amount, you didn't even have to file a tax return. I worked numerous jobs while at UT from 1983-89. Having to prove now that I worked at any one of them would be pretty difficult. But Trump said it, like he says so many things, so voila ... another 'gotcha' moment for the rubes out there.
  8. Harris wins, and it's not all that close imho.
  9. Great point. Someone on Sky brought it up on Friday I think, talking about the reticence of the stewards to apply penalties to both drivers rather than just one, even when both drivers were wrong. They just go after whomever was predominantly at fault. It's stupid, but I pretty much gave up on F1 being a serious sport in this regard a long time ago.
  10. 100%. Older drivers like Alonso railed against it for years, but eventually they realized that their complaints were falling on deaf ears and said "If other people are going to do it to me and get away with it, then I might as well join the party and start doing everything they're going to let people get away with". Max came into F1 after that kind of move had already become accepted. I don't blame the drivers. I blame the FIA and the idiotic stewarding system for lack of clarity and consistency, letting them get away with all kinds of things. And I blame track runoff design. If the FIA would crack down on this stuff and some other kinds of moves, they would stop and driving stndards would improve, but they don't. Of course, like I said earlier, if there were gravel right on the edge of that turn, 99.9% chance we're not even having this discussion.
  11. The answer to all of this, as it is with most things in F1, is to go retro in track construction. If there's gravel there instead of pavement, neither one of them will go off, and if they do, their races are impacted negatively at best. And the best summary of that incident I've seen, is this one, from a Motorsport Mayhem poster:
  12. I'd buy that for a dollar.
  13. So if those held, how would that EC look? (Spoonfeed me, please! I'm just an unfrozen caveman firefighter.)
  14. Love that kid.
  15. Seriously. They couldn't be much more similar. Take someone else's product and change it slightly to look more like Mickey Mouse. What could possibly go wrong?
  16. US GP fined €500,000 after track incursion by 200 F1 fans Fans spilled out onto Austin's Formula 1 circuit while cars were still on their cooldown lap at the end of the race. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/US-GP-fined-500k-after-track-incursion-by-200-F1-fans/10665198/
  17. Hell, just have Peyton & Eli do it.
  18. Buck up, brother. She's gonna win.
  19. LOL. Good ol' Donald McDonald.
  20. Gotcha. What's the Nazi tie-in? :i'm lazy today:
  21. Este, and I would no longer actually describe myself as a Republican either. Probably never will. Just gotta vote for the best person from here on out, and this year the choice is more obvious than ever.
  22. Ain't nobody got time to read all that. Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5?
