  1. It did not disintegrate entirely because the idiot traitors lost their war. This time it's idiots throwing away a country because of abject stupidity and zero understanding of anything other than that brown guy is taking my job washing dishes that I really wanted. This actual breaking down of society for no real purpose is the one we have not seen yet, but probably should have at some point before now considering how we historically treat people.
  2. People give in to their worst inner impulses. Hate for others is the driver here. It’s not shocking to me in all honesty and it’s because we see this happen over and over throughout history. Once enough people latch onto an idea or movement, no matter how ridiculous or destructive it is or will be, people ride it out until it collapses. We are not a special people. We never have been. That this took 250 years to happen is probably the part that is shocking considering our history as a country. I told the woman at work that I mentioned that I will never forget TFG telling people to vote for him in 2024 because “what the hell do you have to lose?” She just looks at me and says “a lot.”
  3. I’m getting my fill of war movies right now with this class I am taking in the fall semester called World War II in film. The first one was They Were Expendable which is pretty good and it was cool seeing Robert Montgomery alongside John Wayne. Having an actual person who fought in the war was really cool. This week is an Italian neo-realism film called Roma Città Aperta which is one of the best films about the horrors that f fascism that I have ever watched. That the movie was even made is fairly extraordinary if you read the story about getting film from the US Army because there was nothing left after the Nazi’s left. This week has two films and the other is Das Boot. It’s cool because there is a lecture about it from one of the German professors that helps teach this master’s program. Dr. Benkert gives great analysis of stuff like this.
  4. You keep your hands off our guy! Dillingham is really good and still growing as a coach. We’re still a couple of recruiting/portal classes away from being a serious challenger once in the playoffs. We’re out on this year thanks to our QB being hurt, but man I have to hand it to Dillingham for having kept the season together when you quite literally have nothing behind Leavitt when he’s hurt. There are posters on this board that would be as valuable to ASU football as Sims is when he plays.
  5. When is the loosely coordinated anon going to start putting their names out there? We all know this part is coming and that is when it really hits the fan. Once people can’t hide anymore and a name and face is put to the fascists doing this is when you see some sparks really fly.
  6. Well let’s hear it!
  7. Of everyone I can’t wait to see get theirs this is the one. That guy will have to hide in North Korea by the time this all unravels.
  8. These wannabe Italian Blackshirts arrested the husband of a co-worker. He was due to be in court soon because of a DUI arrest. These societal washouts/incels arrested him instead and have marked him for deportation because of the DUI. His wife spent 1500 to get a lawyer that did next-to-nothing to help and his bail was raised. What really hacks me off on this is that he works full-time and provides for their family. Unfortunately he’s from Papua New Guinea so he’s definitely the wrong color to expect any leniency from these ghouls. We are an absolute farce of a country. Seeing my co-worker now have to figure it out likely without him is really on-brand for the US in 2025. I can’t wait to leave and never return once I go. I’d rather be a citizen of New Guinea or The Solomons than continue being an American.
  9. Maybe UT should get this guy in the portal. That's what 3 or 4 games worth of yards from Manning.
  10. That was one of the coolest moments I can remember watching in my childhood. Just pure unadulterated joy from Joe.
  11. You and half of Japan. I had the day off and the Japanese tourist contingent is full up on LA hats here. Incredible to see how a country gets behind one athlete like this. I am sure there are Yamamoto and Sasaki fans as well, but this one guy added a country to the fanbase.
  12. It's only annoying if you read it. It's not worth reading or responding to. The entire schtick is based on taking an obscure stance that that poster knows will invite people to respond to so that their vitriol and contempt for people can come out. It's the same thing every single time. Reading someone who takes absurd stances just to argue and get attention is just not worth the time or effort. Go look at a montage of women @Vic Mackey is smashing instead.
  13. Aww man that’s awesome that he helps kids who are going through what he did at that age. I remember President Biden had given out his personal number to several kids (pre-presidency) who stuttered like he did so they could talk to him when they needed help. I am sure Springer probably is in contact with several of the kids in that same way.
  14. Big XII TItle game will either be Arizona State vs. BYU or Tech. Cincy has at least two losses coming. I think everyone would much rather see ASU and Tech play again. That would be a great rematch to watch. If those two are playing they should both get an invite to the playoffs.
  15. Can you imagine telling someone that came home from Europe in 1945 that 80 years later the guy with the nazi tat might possibly be the best choice for a senate seat because the current Senator keeps siding with people trying to act like nazis? What a time to be alive.
  16. In the 4A ranks. 1: Art Briles Rape Apologists 2: Brownwood 3: Lampasas 4: Burnet
  17. It’s also not telling the entire story of Ruth’s accomplishments without saying they came in a segregated league that did not have all of the best players in the same league. MLB now has the best of the best from the many different parts of the world that play the sport. To me that is a far greater accomplishment. I still like Ruth, the accomplishments, the life outside of baseball and whatnot. I think the only time MLB players saw a Japanese pitcher before Nomo (shouldn’t say only, but the first time of any significance) was in the 30’s in an all-star game in Japan where a 17 year old teenager went to town on a team of American barnstormers. https://www.mlb.com/amp/cut4/the-day-a-japanese-high-schooler-struck-out-ruth-gehrig-and-foxx-in-succession-c.html
  18. A 100 years ago. Ohtani has already passed him on the list of greatest players. Like it, don’t like it. Doesn’t matter. I’m not even a Dodgers fan. The guy is simply the best to ever play the game.
  19. That one guy, as great as he was, was not this guy. I thoroughly enjoy reading about Ruth and the stories. This is the guy that every single player will be measured against though once he is done playing. He is as complete a baseball player as has ever existed and we’re all lucky we get to watch his career play out on a real MLB team instead of Anaheim.
  20. How many of those teams had Ohtani on it? Everything gets thrown out when it comes to facing this group of Dodgers. Also the American League was trash again this year just like last year. Dodgers win 2 in a row. Get ready to see them win several more titles after this. I can tell you that most baseball gear you see here is for Ohtani and now Yamamoto. Sure it won’t be long until Sasaki starts selling a decent amount of jerseys as well. You can ask people here from Japan that do not follow the sport that well how the Dodgers are doing and they can tell you solely because of Ohtani. The Dodgers have money to burn, a once-in-a-lifetime talent and more great players around him than anyone else has. I think it’s cool that LA will win again. I hope they keep winning because Ohtani is so much fun to watch and he is, by far, the best ambassador this sport has.
  21. I actually was having a conversation over the weekend with a professor that teaches at UH Manoa from Germany. She got her PhD in Electrical Engineering in Finland and I told her what I'm doing for a masters. We talked about the nazis and her grandfather was a party member if I remember right. She finds America to be a pretty odd place overall right now.
  22. Did you bring along some Japanese tourists to clean up after you?
  23. We’ve hit the rainy season here and the temps are going to really go down. I may see some high temperatures in the 70’s soon. It’s hard living in a place that gets so cold like this.
  24. The Art Briles Family Rape Palace.
  25. No kidding on that. This is a huge deal. I have been to games there (Was at the 2008 game when Daingerfield ended their 10 year home winning streak with a team full of sophomores.) Coach Elliott is built like Sgt. Slaughter. I mean this is a pretty big thing for that town to deal with. Almost nothing shocks me about people, but this is something that has to be dealt with harshly. Dad can get the benefit of the doubt unless evidence shows he knew and did nothing. You just cannot have people like this around kids.
