    First Super Bowl with two big ass asterisks. **

    Yep.

    It's the old NBA/Lakers shit all over again.

    I really have no rooting interest at all in any of these matchups, but after watching that non PI call in the Saints game there's zero interest left in who wins the phony "championship" in a few weeks.

    Well done NFL

    The "I'm just a contrarian" act falls flat when the President is Donald Trump and you spend all your time opposing his opponents.

    All my time?

    Yeah, ok.

    Shift the truth however makes you comfortable 09.  That demonization/rockstar thing serves you so well amigo.  Who am I to try to take your toys away?

     

  3. She's spot on about both sides in that Tapper bit.

    Spot fucking on.

    Aside from that, I have no idea whether she's a good candidate or not.  She lent credibility to Joe Rogan, so I'm leaning not.

    They probably should have just stayed safe and sound behind the Great Wall of San Antonio.

    Well, that, and the fact that you are correct, one video alone doesn’t tell the whole story - look at the others where these prizes of American patriotism and manhood are taunting an old, veteran, Native American in muntiple ways (chant, several different hand gestures, and yep, build the wall).

    Continue to elevate these fine young men. They are everything you dream to be and more.

    San Anotonio Catholics.  I hate San Antonio Catholics...

    For me it was the sorority thread.  I may have been sitting at an office desk making the world safe for capitalism, but I could open my browser and be transported back to a time before mortgages and kids.  A simpler, more innocent time  when chasing poon was all that really mattered.

    Chasing poon IS all that really matters.

    Catching it sometimes matters.

  6. I think you need to ask DDD.  I assume they do the bidding of the right wing and/or Trump nutjobs. 

    There are so few, if any, without an agenda these days irrespective of which agenda that is.

    Why would majority of posters fawning be the most relevant qualifier? I would say the most active thread on the most powerful politician is more relevant. 

    Don't overanalyze Al.

     I don't know if you remember the police thread from the old site.  It was a bit more of an even split pro/con wise.  The pro side tended to paint LEOs as "heroes", beyond question individuals that we were all lucky to live in the shadow of.  You know, a lot like a certain someone in the shot caller chair now. Ooph.

    That drew me in.  It just struck a chord with me and got me chirping.  There's a certain level of discomfort, for me I'm saying, when people start rockstarifying and putting capes on mf'ers in control.  If you remember it my posting was similar toward the cop rescue rangers on the thread.  

    It's the same here. 

    That's all.

  8. You read way too much into that.

    Find me the thread here on Surly where the majority of posters are fawning all over the grenade juggler and I'll respond in a way that will make you ever so happy.

    And regarding the question of binary false choices, the way Drifter structured his post/question to me in the original response was the very definition of  that.  So in that case, it was in fact not less a case of binary choice.

    That's what I was responding to.

    Or just admit Trump is dumber than her.

    Oh, that's what you're fishing for?  My bad.  You should have just said whataboutism, would have save some time.

    Ok, Trump's dumber than her.

    So, we've got one knucklehead hitting herself in the head with a hammer and the other who likes to juggle live grenades on a unicycle and we're going to fawn over hammer girl?

    I mean, since we're doing the binary thing and this is the game then that's your plan?

    Well, that was a non-response.  Try again.

    A non response to a false choice is the only response.

    You know this deep down.

    Coudn't agree more with the hate/love win/loss response.

  11. Pay this man

    That's not the point. If the left engages Trump in his race to the bottom they are part of the problem and only fuel his fire of hate and the people that support that thinking. 

    It's like when you have a screaming 5 year old who is having a temper tantrum because you won't let him eat a bowl of ice cream for every meal. Yelling at the 5 year old doesn't fix the problem. 

    At some point there needs to be an adult in the room to fix the mess. Acting like the 5 year old isn't going to cut it. And of course the left isn't going to go as low as Trump but allowing oneself to be pulled into his vortex is just as bad and will turn off a shit ton of people. 

    The old "I'm not an asshole like Trump" campaign isn't a winning won. 

     

    And for the record Trump didn't win because he was an asshole he won because a large segment of the population wanted different. If you asked a large majority of those in the middle that voted for him I think most would feel at least some regret. Sure the fringe lunatics wouldn't be changing their vote but unlike what cable news likes to tell you those aren't the people that win elections. It's the mostly silent majority in the middle that swing elections in one direction or the other and has for years. Nobody talks about them however because it doesn't make for good TV and to a much larger extent RATINGS.

    That's the fucking problem. 

    Pay this man his money!

  12. False choices are fun, aren't they?  Whataboutism is a great game too.

    Which is it Drifter?

    That you can "think" of only two reasons is why you're lost here.  Bop till ya drop my man.
