    We know Hamas uses people as human shields, but some of y'all have what I think is an incorrect assumption that Israel's strikes are all targeted at Hamas targets. Their intelligence wasn't good enough to stop the initial attacks and things have been pure chaos ever since. I don't see any reason to think they have a good idea where Hamas militants currently are. They're reducing whole neighborhoods to rubble and they've bombed the crossing into Egypt, where tons of Palestinian civilians had fled to hoping to get out. 

    There's no way to completely avoid civilian casualties in war and I wouldn't expect Israel to do so, but I think it's reasonable to expect them to not commit war crimes. All that's asking them to do is adhere to their own training. 

     What?

    So because Israel doesn't have perfect or infallible intel they should what? Stop all bombings? 

    Bullshit.

  2. Extremists (and they usually seem to be religiously motivated - not just Muslim) don't care about how many lives they take in pursuit of their holy war. We've seen this time and time again. 

    Imo Israel, being in the middle of a war/terrorist attack from Hamas, is under no obligation at this time (maybe later) to show "mercy". Israel is at war. They are fighting an enemy that calls for the destruction of Israel. They don't have the luxury of mercy.

  3. Tech is like your well-meaning, half-way likeable cousin that knows they aren't as good as you, but every now and then pulls one over on you. But, even if they don't admit it, they know their place.

    aggy, on the other hand, is like your retarded cousin with a mother that tells them they can do no wrong and are just as good as everybody else. But everyone knows they aren't. Eventually, everyone around them gets sick of their shit and laughs at them to their face.

    Hidalgo basically pissed off Democratic DA Ogg because she wouldn't do her bidding so Ogg decided to play some dirty politics in retribution is how I saw it.  Republicans jumped on it because that's what they do and Ogg hand fed them.

    Kim Ogg is a disappointment.

    Lina Hidalgo is not.

    latest rumor: Trump has fired the entirely of his counsel and will represent himself in all future proceedings.

  6. Don't know if this really belongs here, but ....

    Everything we needed to know about Trump was revealed to us when Sean Spicer (may he rot in hell) lied repeatedly, unabashedly about the crowd size during the inauguration. Contradicting photographs, even. Don't believe your lying eyes. 

    Reminds me of the Star Trek episode (not that I'm a big fan, but a fan) when Picard is being tortured (more or less) and the bad guy says (iirc) hey, it's all ok if you just tell me that there are 5 lights instead of 4. No biggie, right? 

    So, just tell me that the size of Trump's crowds were bigger than Obama's crowds. No biggie, right. 

    Fuck those people. Trump supporters are the very definition of anti-American.

  7. Love this thread. 

    I'm going to be up in that area in a couple of weeks. Haven't been to the cities in a long time. Traffic sucks. 

     Would like to catch a Twins game, and/or a Fargo Redhawks game. Cuz you know, Fargo. lol

    Absolutely. That is no reason to minimize what she actually did.

    Sure, let's all hop on board that train. 

    While we conveniently turn a blind eye to the conditions that led to it. The more we can demonize young desperate women the less likely we will address the anti-Roe/anti-women's health issues. Kind of an old testament, GOP mentality, imo.

    I mean this as politely as possible, but what the f*** is this show? Vice Principals was a dark comedy. This is a piece of shit in comparison.

    I don’t even know what they’re parodying. The outfits, hair, and make up are so over the top, that they could never been confused for any mega church personality. Maybe the Bakkers, but they’ve been irrelevant for a generation. 

    I’ll be the first to admit I have some Danny McBride fatigue. He’s the same guy yelling big ass titties in Tropic Thunder in 2008. He’s a one note comedic actor and hasn’t improved at all in 15 years at HBO. 
     

    This is a show that has managed to waste Goggins and John Goodman. It takes a special kind of incompetence to pull that off.

    I respect what you said but disagree with just about all of it. 

    The show is a comedy. Right? Maybe not a dark comedy but it's pretty funny. Stop comparing shit. It's the thief of joy.

    Also think Danny McBride has greatly improved over the years (not a high bar) and he's done it in this show. 

    Goodman does an excellent job, imo.

    I didn't like Fonzie getting the rap for the murder.  I don't even understand what evidence there would be to pin it on him.  The $250,000 went from Barry to Fonzie, not the other way around - which you would expect in a scenario that Fonzie pays Barry to kill someone.  

    To borrow a line from a famous lawyer - Johnny Cochran (on Southpark):  "that does not make sense!"

    Lol, of course, but as I often tell my wife when watching tv shows "it's not a documentary".  :)

    Just enjoy the drama and the acting.  (it's taken me a long time to get to that point).

    Prime is basically a great athlete with a not completely incompetent set of brainwaves. If he's on your side, he's a goofy, but tolerable, show-off. If he's on the other side, he's a major asshole. If and until he pulls CU up to the status of a Top 10 team, he'll be amusing and colorful. If he does manage it and gets in our way, fuck 'im.

     

    I view him as a talented assclown. 

    But he's making the game about him. Imo, he's an egotistical dipshit, so he fits right in today's environment. Doesn't mean he won't win.

    That's all one needs to say. Pieces of Giant Shit. Or Giant Pieces of Shit. Take your pick.

    Before you confidently declare Trump is going to get smoked in the general, take a look at your 401k or IRA. You think Biden is secure?  

    Yes, at least as secure as any politician can be. And very secure relative to the current crop of GQP bozos.

    It’s dumb to use one tournament run (good or bad) as the basis to hire a coach.  

    No, it's not. A good tournament run can be a valid basis. Win 6 games and win a national title? 

    How is that dumb? 

    So let's use two tourney runs. Is that better?
