  1. The Monkey. This did deliver comedy with the death scenes. I LOL’d out loud along with the rest of the people there when they happened. This was a well done movie and it went straight to the point of things. I would watch it again. If any of you have a frustrating day mark down watching this one once it starts streaming.
  2. Because I enjoy animated movies I went to see this. I liked it.
  3. 32-10-7. Is that good?
  4. What name total is he up to now with this one?
  5. AOC is consistent on this as well, but Pete just has an ability to communicate in plain talk that surpasses the rest of the Democrats by a country mile.
  6. If he runs for president he is who I will back. I am not going to allow the opinions of morons to dissuade me from casting a vote for him in a primary.
  7. He is the smartest politician in America. I know his being gay is going to be used against him almost all of the maga cultists, but this is the person we need to chart a course that betters our country. This guy is the American Dream personified. He just has that rare ability to connect positively with people when he talks to them. I do not care one bit about who he is married to (Although by all accounts his husband is a great guy), I just care about him being someone that has the required intelligence to lead us out of this crater. The more people focus on his words the higher his profile will go. Arguing with idiots focused on his sexuality does no good. Buttigieg is a big boy and we all know he can handle dealing with the barrage of attacks he will get.
  8. Every single time he uses the r word to attack someone he doesn’t like is exceedingly cringe-worthy to me. This is a child with no idea how to act. My niece just turned six amd she would never say something like that about another person and yet this guy has a press conference in the Oval Office acting like he is the president. Just incredible.
  9. That revised edition version with that chapter is only available in Ohio. No one there can read anyhow so no big deal.
  10. If there is one thing Americans can agree on it is that they don’t like pissant kids messing with their money and benefits. Elmo will be the only person that will employ any of them once he gets his walking papers.
  11. Every single person that voted for the orange con man shares responsibility in her death. This child was still in the infancy of life. She had barely started scratching the surface of her potential and what she would become because of 77.2 million people who voted for an idiot thinking nothing bad could happen. The kids that bullied her got the message that it was okay because their environment at home did not care about the effect the election would have on children. Congratulations you idiot cultists. This child’s blood is on your hands.
  12. Well this isn’t cool. I hope he is able to come back ready for next season and that he has no long-term issues that would keep him from doing what he loves.
  13. Since the inevitable comparisons to the Nazis are going to be made here is where there is a line. Germany in the early 1930’s had a whole bunch of veterans from The Great War that felt they did not lose the war. They felt unfairly blamed for the war and the Versailles Treaty was still fresh on their minds. The Wehrmacht at that point was a skeleton of its Great War size, BUT, and this is key, they had grievances a mile long against France and Britain. You had the necessary ingredients for Hitler to be able to have a military that pledged allegiance to him, especially so because he had served in that war. Revenge was still on the minds of those soldiers and the children who had to hear for their entire life to that point that Germany needed to gain revenge against those countries and a centuries old scapegoat of the Jews. Our military is not suffering from a crisis in the confidence of itself or the values it is sworn to uphold. The United States military owes nothing to the con man, its idiot and racist defense secretary or any of the rest of them. We have a military built upon 250 years of weathering two wars with England, a Civil War, two world wars and now 80 years past that still being the dominant force in the world. It is built to weather morons like Trump. People routinely make fun of the Marines and their supposed lack of intellect. I’ll take that marine and his commanding officers and their vow to protect us. Our politicians will fail us continually like they are now, but our military I have zero qualms about trusting them. Push comes to shove they still have the big guns, tanks and planes and the orange con man has only his own plane and his cadre of secret service guards to try and overtake that. To that I say good luck.
  14. Do you believe our military doesn’t have contingency plans for when a president gets way out over their skis? Until I see it happen I will not think or believe that the United States military will choose to follow his orders over the Constitution. There are people there that take their oath seriously and care more about the country than following an orange man off a cliff. To be a real big boy dictator like his friend in Russia you have to have a military backing you up. Right now he’s still just a paper tiger in comparison.
  15. The response should have been “Yes I can tell you a precaution. Give your child up for adoption to a family that believes in science.”
  16. One of my friends took her teenage son to Japan and they are currently in the middle of their vacation and having a blast. Her son is on the spectrum and it looks like from the pictures I have seen that he is having an awesome time. I have posted that I work as a server right now (Until I'm done with school and whatnot) and the two coolest groups of tourists I ever get are from Brazil and Japan. The Japanese are just polite to a fault and anytime I mention to them that I would like to travel there they tell me what a great time I would have and that they would love for me to experience their country. I'm also not shocked at reading posts about how quiet it is there. When your population has kind of a national ethos of politeness and being nice it usually means they aren't yelling at the top of their lungs at you on every street corner. I have historical things I want to see in Japan as well as taking in the countryside in Hokkaido. Living several thousand miles closer to the country now makes it easier to visit than when I was in New York.
  17. Common gooders it’s just the power trip. No human is infallible and we’re all susceptible to falling in love with being in control of things. Some folks just willingly throw their decency out the window. I’d rather keep my decency for others intact than jump onboard this moral train wreck of an administration.
  18. He used to post on the deadspin website before all the original writers left en masse. He might post on Defector now, but not entirely sure. Chris definitely backs up his beliefs with action though and I believe that he was sent packing from Minnesota for the exact reason he stated.
  19. Folks I had to put on a light jacket recently when I was fishing after the sun went down and the wind kicked up. I swear the temperature must have dropped below 70 that night. T&P to everyone dealing with your own rough weather! 🙂 Sarcasm aside, I have dealt with brutally cold weather in my life and snow that didn't stop falling for 9 straight days and I still had to go to work. Snow looks beautiful if you live in the right places, but man it makes your daily routine so much harder to get through. If any of y'all ever want a break from really cold weather and want a free place to stay just pm me. I'll do the same for any of y'all that I have already done for one of my friends back in NYC.
  20. Team over country. Orange con man out front shoulda told ya.
  21. Jesse definitely has a face that deserves to be flattened with an extra large cast iron skillet.
  22. It’s money. You always default back to money in this situation. You get access to more it working with an authoritarian government than you do in a democracy. The American oligarchs can get billions more using num nuts than having an actual president and government that tells them to kick rocks and get out.
  23. Well eventually there is a war. Probably not a civil war, but we’ll be at war again because people in the ultimate positions of power like this buffoon like to use their shiny toys to project even more power. Basically just expect a big war, probably with China because it’s the place we wanted to exploit for profit 80-90 years ago, but Chiang Kai-Shek and his wife were incompetent and fraudulent morons that wasted everything we gave him.
