    And are generally the nicest people on earth.   Their religion is laughably whack, but their focus on family and relationships It’s a pretty damn good idea that more people should follow.

    Mormons are a far more well-adjusted group of people than any I have ever met. They are almost always exceptionally nice and I have no issue with them. More of us could stand to be as kind as they are to others.

    $3B .....65 miles. Money well spent. At least for the contractors that received that $3B. 

    https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2025-06-17/with-only-8-built-texas-quietly-defunds-state-border-wall-program

    State-built border wall under construction near the banks of the Rio Grande in Zapata Co. on Sept. 23, 2024.

    impenetrable 

    So to recap the new Texas. When these buffoons realized they couldn't build the wall they blamed the federal government. The party/cult of "small government" that wants Washington to stay out of their business now says flatly that this is the responsibility of the clown show in the nation's capital. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

    I think a few of us could come up with something to slap Fat Boy’s name on it and get it to him to sell to his loser dumbass cult who would buy it just because it Fat Boy is selling it. 

     

    Anyone up to make a couple of million right quick?

    Just the dumbest group of Americans in our history. These people really bring the unintentional laughs. They go to sleep stupid and wake up dumber than they were the day before.

    I don’t. I think the Epstein stuff was a step too far for Trump.  Trump has a long history of using people and then tossing them to the side. Musk does not have the ability to self-police, and has a long history of saying stuff like that.

    Musk is apparently still having to answer to the NTSB/National Highway Safety Administration as well over FSD, and the latest shenanigans with robotaxi’s performance won’t endear him to them. Trump could have made that go away but he didn’t.  

    Edit: and by the way, I think Musk was extremely angry at the Republicans about the budget bill, because it potentially hurts Tesla’s bottom line in the long run.

    I’m glad it’ll hurt at least one person that deserves it.

  5. I saw the Lakers added Augustas Marciulionis to the summer league team. I am guessing he makes the Lakers opening night roster. Randy Bennett said he’s the best point guard they have ever had at Saint Mary’s and his father Sarunas happened to be okay at basketball. Anyone else here remember his dad on the 1992 team from Lithuania that wore the-dye shirts and got the bronze medal? Sarunas was a baller.

    I saw Marciulionis play a few times at SMC and he’s an NBA guard. He’ll show that this summer I believe.

    The Wizards finally have a competent front office. He’s in a great situation.

    I pay for a subscription to Defector. They have two die-hard Washington fans in Chris Thompson and Albert Burneko on the staff. I am interested to hear their thoughts on this pick. They have seen and wrote about an enormous amount of horrific basketball going back to the Deadspin days, but they always give humorous and good analysis of their team.

  7. I was watching some of the Sky-Sparks game the other day and that was not a lot of fun because both teams are Washington Wizards level horrible. Reese needs to visit Hakeem in the off-season and get at least one post move for next season. She got blocked by a player whose feet never even left the ground. The move went right into the defender. I just cannot fathom how she can be fairly athletic and understands the defensive nuances of the game, but has no idea how to shoot. It's like watching Kwame Brown when he was a Laker.

    This one right here is so incredibly cruel and low. This man needs to be brought back the 2nd that fascism is destroyed here and given the ability to be part of the tribunal that will convict the people who did this. You DO NOT mess with a veteran that put their life on the line for all of us. He’s more American than any of these racist clowns.

    Does he really want to start talking shit about test scores?  Like Wecshler?  SAT?  Against AOC?

    TFG ACED the SAT. He’s never missed a question on any test he has ever taken. He also is a seven time NBA Champion, rowed across the Atlantic by himself in two days and graciously never played chess because his overwhelming brainpower was judged to be too much for anyone to ever compete against.

    it's always that 40% though

    40 percent of voters hold back America from making any meaningful progress as a country. That 40 percent would kill their own mother if they thought TFG wanted them to do it.

    A bit of good news.  I know, the struggle isn't over (Lee has already said he's going to try again) , but anything positive these days seems worth celebrating.

    Mike Lee is an awful person. I hope he burns in whatever version of hell he believes in. Just an astonishingly stupid person with all the redeeming qualities that a serial killer possesses.

    haha...i think of him every time i see Police ICE somewhere.  He used to come and "rap" at our school assembly's in middle school.

    He came out to Lampasas as well and did a school assembly for us. Glad I am not the only one that remembers seeing him.

    This! Put Ana's sorry ass on ignore. Don't give him the oxygen he wants by quoting him.

     

    It's a very easy concept.

    If everyone would just put that idiot on ignore he’d just be talking to himself. I did it weeks ago and it’s the best thing I ever did. 

    Yeah it's not hard. I have never argued with him because it's pointless. Putting him on ignore is pretty easy. It doesn't matter what facts you bring to the argument because invariably he will keep you responding to him with personal insults. It's what people who seek attention will do. It's just not fun engaging people who act like that and the board is better when posts by people like that are just ignored.

    Yes. This is where we are. I'm longing for more of our representatives to have the wisdom and self control of Derka. 

    You know what though, @Derka is actually really intelligent. Read through his posts in here. He’s concise and very well-informed. His contributions are great to read. Surly needs at least one of us in elected office. You put Derka there and I’ll bet we can get a congressional inquiry into the inability of WNBA players to hit open layups.
