  1. Current front page. Just stunningly bad shit.
  2. I was going back through her IMDB, and she was also in a small indie movie that was filmed in Austin a few years ago called "Mr. Roosevelt," which I've actually seen because someone I had a few dates with has a small role in it. Lower didn't play the lead, so I didn't remember her from it. Looks like it can be rented on Amazon for $3.99. It's an "okay" movie -- kind of your typical small indie that feels like it was made in the 90s.
  3. Never heard of the guy (I haven't followed the NFL since the 1990s), but he's got my attention and respect now.
  4. I do know how to read, and according to the article, NASA does (or did) indeed have a planetary defense program.
  5. So, does anyone know if NASA still has a planetary defense program right now?
  6. Yep. Just keep hammering away on that same consistent message over and over again across the spectrum of issues we'll be facing until it belatedly dawns on the dumbasses.
  7. Yeah, I quickly started to quietly reflect on that after posting. I suppose I could go back and edit it to something like, "America doesn't support European dictators," but the best choice should've been not to post any of my own commentary and just let the image speak for itself. Well, I've learned my lesson.
  8. Got these from some European-related subreddits. Warning: They are royally pissed at America right now.
  9. America does NOT support dictators!!! Well, it didn't used to.
  10. Accurate, but I think this better captures the lead-up in our timeline.
  11. My Church of Christ grandma told me (a child) point-blank that her daughter (my mom) and all of our family were going to hell because we were Southern Baptist. Attending her nearby country church as a kid was made especially painful by the awkward-as-fuck way that every hymn started without instruments or universally understood downbeat.
  12. At the risk of going off on too much of a tangent that would belong in a religion thread, I'll briefly piggyback on these comments from earlier this morning to state the obvious--while still being a profoundly interesting religious observation--that American "Christianity" has basically dispensed with the merciful, forgiving, and kind Christian god of the New Testament, only to have gone back to the angry, jealous, and vengeful god of the Old Testament, which I'd argue couldn't possibly be the same omniscient, omnipotent god (different thread topic). I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge nowadays (at least around these parts) that psychological studies have demonstrated Republicans/conservatives generally lean much more heavily toward an authoritarian mindset than liberals/progressives, which obviously goes hand-in-hand with all that fire and brimstone shit. So, I guess it makes sense why they mean to make us all regress back into being like the foolish Old Testament Israelites who could never learn a fucking lesson. I guess all we can do now is just await god's judgment, wrath, and punishment for falling for this anti-Christ. The End Times, here we come.
  13. For your typical nonfundie, the thinking goes: "I want my child to have a leg up, and getting my kid into an exclusive club ensures a better chance at that, which means we're going to have to start excluding certain people. Yes, I understand it'll hurt other kids, but that only goes to serve my little shit getting that leg up." Then, there are all the other reasons cited in previous posts for the reich-wing zealots and/or fundagelicals.
  14. Trump is playing the role of Stalin across the table from Hitler (Putin) if you consider the current negotiations regarding Ukraine as parallels to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
  15. I believe the final agreement for German reuinification wasn't signed until 1991, so would this include former East German territory or nah?
  16. Ah, yes, but recall that the head of the current regime tried to defund that very same newspaper a little over four years ago, the last time it held power. It, therefore, must be "fake news," so who's to say what the story really is? It's a good thing that one of the previously mentioned illegal immigrants, who's been placed in charge of an experienced team of crack budgetary policy experts to unconstitutionally hack away at Congressionally authorized and funded programs, controls a reliable media outlet that totally isn't known for intentionally misleading the public.
  17. Point to the post where this guy was being lionized. Also, take a moment to reflect on the felon, who's the grandson of an illegal immigrant by today's standards, who hires illegal immigrants, and who's married to an illegal immigrant, attempting to unconstitutionally strip the rights of American citizens born in this country. While the universe does, at times, have a sick sense of humor, I wouldn't call this funny or a laughing matter.
  18. Let me know if I left someone out
  19. I mean, if a situation wherein a felon who's responsible for the deaths of thousands convicted for falsifying business records been found liable for sexual assault defrauded students with a fake university barred from running a charity a tax cheat attempted a coup on the United States married to an illegal immigrant enabled a different illegal immigrant to now unconstitutionally dismantle the federal bureaucracy, and now allowed to be in charge of shit and hypocritically deporting other illegal immigrants doesn't prove our point, then I don't know what does. Hmmm...
  20. @52-80 Let me ask you about a third hypothetical: Imagine a scenario in which a woman comes to the US on a tourist visa but breaks immigration law by getting a job as a "professional model," should that person have her citizenship revoked for committing visa fraud?
  21. @52-80 What are your thoughts on an immigrant who falsified their papers and, by all rights, should be considered “illegal” radically, recklessly, and illegally defunding large swaths of our federal government? Should that person be deported?
  22. Since you're so concerned about convicted felons being responsible for perpetuating violence, I wonder how you perceive a different convicted felon who's directly responsible for literally thousands of American deaths, directing the deportation of other non-violent, non-felons.
