  1. Reading the article would give an answer to this comment.
  2. That's beautiful man. You like to use the term "good egg". Well, you and the people you know are a whole good carton of them. Tell that man he's doing God's work and there are people on the internet that he does not know that think what he's doing is pretty awesome.
  3. These people…Hoo boy! We’ve got a dictator stealing millions and millions of dollars of our money and they decide to try to force AOC to pay more for a dress she rented four years ago. I want the House Democrats to form a new committee when they have control of things and have it called the committee on morals, social media and internet related ethics. First thing to investigate is Mike Johnson’s computer to see what VPN he is using to view porn. Might as well make a complete spectacle out of that cowardly little person. Right after that they can investigate Jim Jordan for the Ohio State wrestling abuse.
  4. On my mom’s side of the family there were Scottish ancestors. Her mom’s family came over from Scotland in 1640 or so if memory serves correct. One of them founded Wofford College. I think that @Ghost of LL would find that humorous and he knows why. All of those wonderful Scottish insults of TFG sit well with me.
  5. He's right. Every single generation gets conned into believing their wealth is being stolen from them. That one party keeps doing this successfully to each generation does say a bit about the average intelligence of the citizenry to keep falling for it.
  6. Do not let the guilt fester. This has nothing to do with knowing and not having power to stop it. You do not need to feel guilt. What you do need to do is keep talking about what is happening. Talk to anyone you have a chance to talk about this to. Be vocal and warn people who might not be paying attention to what is going on that America is in a really dark place right now. Bad people are always going to exist. Stephen Miller will be replaced decades from now with some other heinous trash that has similar thoughts about immigrants and will try to act on them. This is the story of humanity. It has played out thousands upon thousands of times in recorded history and plenty more before that. If your goal is to fight back you do it creatively and in a clandestine manner. The Resistance in Europe to the Nazis did so in secret. Same thing here. You don't need to get a bullhorn and tell everyone what you are doing to make ICE's work harder. You just find something you and perhaps a few friends can do together to resist and you keep at it. Never give in to guilt though. The only time I want to hear guilt is when the y is added to the word and we get to eject a few million traitors from the country to spend some quality time at Guantanamo and eastern Russia.
  7. I'd do it for free just so I could ask him what it feels like to know that formerly oppressed South Africans all hate him. What's it like knowing that your beloved apartheid was a massive failure?
  8. This movie was a 10/10 for me. I’m not even a gearhead and I loved this one. The soundtrack from Hans Zimmer killed it. The racing scenes were intense and actually made me feel like a fan. Javier Bardem is still great. Brad Pitt was so freaking fun. My father was a lifelong gearhead who began working on Mercedes back in the mid-50’s in war torn West Germany at age 9. This movie would’ve been right up his alley. If you don’t like watching this you might want to just stop watching movies altogether. Lewis Hamilton is right and that they need to wait a good long while before doing anymore F1 movies. Let this one get all the accolades it deserves and build on it when the time is right. Just a beautifully done movie in every single facet.
  9. That is what a soulless and completely garbage human looks like. I can’t wait until he gets caught up in TFG’s web of grifting. Rubio is the very definition of a heartless coward who has no moral principles to follow. He took the Linda Graham route and does whatever he has to do to advance his career no matter the cost to the people who live here. Find one of those Jewish space lasers and use it to shoot that guy directly into the sun.
  10. I think you will be. I never was a Superman fan as a kid, but I loved the newest movie. I like the retro futurist vibe they used for this one. Kinda neat to see honestly.
  11. I know I’ll go to see it just because I like the Avatar world and whatnot. Aren’t they supposed to have some kind of Avatar VR world or something? I feel like I heard that mentioned at some point.
  12. Great point here. No one can, with any degree of accuracy, say how America and the world will look in a decade. Too many unknowns. The best you can do is attempt to use history as a guideline for what can possibly happen and how we all should react to the changes we will have to deal with. If you told Hitler in the summer of '33 that by the summer of '43 his cities would be getting bombed day and night he would not have believed it. Americans especially would not have believed their boys were the ones doing much of the heavy lifting of sending bombers over the Reich. Again all you can do is prepare and attempt to anticipate changes. The only thing I know for sure is that fascism does not work in the long haul. How long that is I do not know, but I do know it will fail. You just hope that America and the rest of the countries on this planet haven't all gone to war again by the time it does fail.
  13. Just got back. Watched it in 4DX and it definitely made viewing it a whole bunch of fun. I don’t like every movie in this format, but they nailed it with this one. I had the same feeling leaving this movie that I did after Superman. It made me feel good and hopeful. More of these movies from Marvel and DC please. Just a great film. Loved Pascal’s character. Nothing bad to say about any of them. I’d also like The Silver Surfer to teach me a bit about being a better surfer when she has some free time.
  14. Can I blame Mexicans for not moving en masse to Hawai’i so I can enjoy some great Mexican food?
  15. I think you know. They were “forced” to do this.
  16. I think the finding out process has started already. Running off world class professors and researchers means you will now see students look elsewhere to go to school. Really sad time for the United States and schools like UT that are seeing a brain drain because 80 million clowns decided to elect one.
  17. That seems really problematic.
  18. Odds on him attempting to have Trey and Matt arrested sit at a greater than zero chance now. No way he doesn't find out about this. I mean, wow, that was a Shohei Ohtani sized homerun of an episode.
  19. I'll be there this fall for about a month exploring the country. Looking forward to it.
  20. This is not true and for the reasons stated by 956.
  21. I am so glad she chimed in with that. Perhaps off the top the NBA can recoup some of their investment. Let’s give them back 60 million which is five years worth of financial support. Now split the money from there. The NBA wouldn’t do that because it’s a pittance compared to what they haul in, but thinking all of a sudden these players will just get to take in 200 million when only one player is getting them attention right now is silly. Bueckers will be her own cash cow for the league soon enough, but not yet. The team owners can basically let them hold out and strike if they want. They are not in any kind of position to be making demands yet. Not that these women understand they need to have long-term thinking. I expect them to make ridiculous demands, go on strike and then come back to an owner-friendly deal due to their lack of planning this stuff out for the long-haul.
  22. I want the league to succeed, BUT I hope the cash infusion/actual positive revenue flow happens AFTER most of these clowns are out of the league. I wish reporters would hammer them after every game and really drive home the point that the minority of people watching this league are fans of someone other than Clark or the Fever. Without Clark this league stays forever attached to the monetary infusion from the NBA. Nobody is tuning in to see these jealous clown frauds. I hope Clark sits out until the playoffs so we can once again get a reminder that Clark is the SOLE REASON for the attendance and ratings jump. These players are just not bright. This isn’t just jealousy. This is flat out stupidity with zero ability to read the room or the financials for that matter. Demanding money that is not there yet and then still trashing the only reason you have a shot at being financially solvent for the first time in league history is very on brand for this league.
  23. Yep nothing more than that. He’s throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.
