  1. That was hilarious. So many quotable moments. I'll let others see it before I say anything. @Parliament that was a spot-on comparison.
  2. You fight fascists by making fun of them. Newsom and his team finally came to the conclusion that others have throughout history that making fun of them and belittling them constantly is what really riles them up and causes the implosion sooner rather than later. The key though is Americans joining in and doing the same thing. It has to happen across the political spectrum as well and on social media. This is a good start though, but it's only the opening drive.
  3. About to watch it this evening. I did not see the first one, but the preview looks like a movie I’ll enjoy.
  4. Now ask the average American to recite this to you. They can’t. Now say the word socialist to maga and you will invariably hear them talk about the nazis. The word socialist needs to be reclaimed as being a good word here. It’ll take a good long while to do that, but you have to. The AOC part of the Democrats gets this. They own the word socialist. Socialism is a good thing for people. The humor of magats railing against socialism while getting a SOCIAL SECURITY check is never not funny.
  5. This word needs to be reclaimed as being good. The association with Nazi Germany needs to end. You cannot keep allowing these clowns in the Pedo Party to dictate things. Shying away from the use of the word is not a good thing.
  6. That ending will make me laugh every single time I see it. One of the finest endings to a movie I’ve ever seen. Everyone was laughing while it was happening.
  7. I went to that “violent hellhole” twice in 2020. Once to protest for the first time in my life for a week and again for election night. I never felt anything but safe there even during that time. This is what fascists do though so the truth of the situation matters none.
  8. How little has been learned 80 years on. Also the wording of this “surrender”, as all of you know, never actually used that word in the speech and it’s amazing how different this version of Japanese sounds from the common version of Japanese we all recognize when we hear it.. It’s no wonder Japan and China still have unresolved issues from this war when Hirohito would not even call this a surrender.
  9. I want the Mojave Desert. Once they are sentenced drop them off by parachute over the most remote and barren part they can find with no food or water.
  10. The party that condones pedophilia should rightfully be called the Pedo Party. Time to go full on with rhetoric based on what they have allowed to lead their party/cult. The time for being nice to anyone that supports it has long since passed.
  11. I was wondering when this would be posted. This happened nine years ago and of course it was the Bills Mafia that did it.
  12. Looks like the grass has really let itself go. I thought they made sure no one walked on it by punishment of death.
  13. He sounds just about like I thought he sounds. There is no way he is not a person suffering from depression. Woj realized how dumb it was to continue doing a pointless job just because it paid seven figures. Shams hasn’t figured that part out yet.
  14. Maybe he gets better playing next to one of the best players in the league. Would I hand him that contract or have traded for him in the first place? No, but sometimes a new environment can work wonders for a player and how valuable they can be when the team and hopefully coaching staff is better around them. Some guys just aren’t winners. Years ago I remember LaMarcus Aldridge before he even made it to Texas and thought this guy is really skilled, but not a winner or someone you build around. He made a bunch of money, scored a lot of points and never came close to winning anything of consequence. I’ve been able to watch a whole slew of guys who aren’t winners the last 15 years in Lakerland who put up good box scores and little else. I guess we get to see which guy Fox is now that he is in a more stable environment.
  15. I encourage him to continue not buckling up.
  16. I trust zero that comes from this clown car dictatorship. I’ll listen to what other countries think about human rights violations. We are not to be trusted on anything, but especially reports like that.
  17. Lefkoe and Long I do not know. The rest of them I do. I remember Wire playing for the Bills. I believe he was a safety. To add some random Takeo Spikes knowledge, the last time he played in a playoff or championship game was his senior year at Auburn when he lost to Manning and the Vols in the SEC Title Game. He is one of only seven linebackers in NFL history to start in over 200 games (219) and he played in more games than any player that never played in a single playoff game. Every team he played for got better and made a playoff appearance after he went to a new team as well.
  18. I can't recall ever hearing Takeo Spikes talk, but he had a really good career in college and then in the NFL for 15 years. Looks like a pretty solid group in the studio.
  19. If any of you on here ever need a break from life due to the stress on you piling up or you just feel completely worn down you are more than welcome to stay where I live on O’ahu. I purposely got a two bedroom solely so people could come out here. Things are just getting more expensive with hotels and whatnot. Anyhow if life is kicking you in the face and you want a break just let me know in a PM. I had a friend come out for a week and it gave them a chance to recharge and get some time to relax. Where I live it’s easy to get around and the beach is about 15 minutes away.
  20. Well I would think most people should remember that part of history. We were all taught it. Without France we do not get independence. Britain’s Redcoats were a professional army, but they were fighting thousands of miles from home and the strength of their military was that they were a worldwide naval power. The colonies were too big and spread out to be brought to heel.
  21. Two months+ of having had the new switch and still I just do the free roam on Mariokart. One of the best ways I have ever experienced in just turning off my brain and relaxing. They ought to market the roaming around as some free therapy. So peaceful.
  22. Most people will stay. Making less money in a free society seems like a good choice. No amount of money or property could keep me in this country any longer than I have to be here. Too many folks around this world need help and I’d rather dedicate whatever amount of time I have to still live helping them. To those who are staying it will be harsh, some of you will wind up in prison, but they will not win in the end.
  23. None. I am pretty good at taking punches though! Just never have been a violent person.
  24. Sports has pretty much lost any meaning to me. I’ll watch a few games for Arizona State when I can, but football, or any other sport for that matter, is just kinda whatever until we get out of this.
  25. The splitting up won’t happen. A lot of things seem unlikely when you’re in the midst of the storm, but there’s always the other side of it. Human beings, as tribal as we are, will eventually decide this whole fascism thing didn’t make life better and eventually the whole thing will come crashing down. How long it takes to get there is just guesswork because the populace and how it eventually reacts is the key to the length of it..
