  1. I get that a lot of people like the Heat, but no-brainer rooting for the Lake Show. The ghost of Kobe won't let the Lakers lose in 2020 anyways, but Anthony Davis is such a great player and good dude and someone for me that is easy to root for.
  2. So, you guys who don't say fraternity, would you call your country a cunt? J/k. Frats at UT are cool; this situation/OP is of course not cool.
  3. Chuck is a man after my own heart.
  4. You know what they say when you're great? / It's not murder; it's assassinate SO ASSASSINATE ME B***H!
  5. Jimmy "Homeless Jamie Foxx" Butler.
  6. I know one thing; anything is better than that 1-Train.
  7. crosspost from the hilarious stand up thread, but this is so topical about looting and racism I thought some folks might enjoy some levity.
  8. Also, maybe it's my age, but there was nothing more ubiquitous in the late aughts then this playing at every house party you went to at some point:
  9. I watched this until the tape skipped:
  10. I think it's open to fair game to question a Catholic (or Muslim or Jewish person, etc.) on their religious or spiritual beliefs and how it informs their values and political beliefs, when looking at vetting for a political appointment. The opposite would be true too, if you had an atheist candidate it would be fair to similarly "attack", and I use air quotes there because it's just normal, good vetting and not an attack, to understand what sort of heathen and sinful beliefs (if any?) the atheist might be harboring before wanting them on the Supreme Court, e.g. believing abortion at any stage or age is murder or being cool with killing babies at 39 weeks and 6 days.
  11. What is the difference between Batman and those in Louisville tonight who will like to loot and riot?
  12. I don't know, I think it was great because it was both a call-back to Delonte embarrassing and disrespecting Lebron with his own mom (yuck!) while also calling attention to the present-state Delonte, a man ransacked with drug addiction and mental illness that he lives on the street and has no teeth, and then makes two hilarious and haymaker points as subtext which are fully loaded in that sentence, which is to say that a) Lebron would get his butt kicked in a fight and b) This guy with no teeth is the caliber of man who your mom goes for. Just savage in my book. All that said, Go Denver!
  13. I agree with the sarcasm, who cares about nobody bare knuckle fighting rubes. But this one had the best savage take-down line I've ever seen done so pithy and succinctly. It's beautiful and art.
  14. "LOL at the snowflakes that believe @KingJames could even last 10 seconds with me!" Covington said. "If that coward had the balls or the ability to kick anyone's ass, Delonte West would've lost his teeth long before his meth habit!" https://www.insider.com/colby-covington-lebron-james-fight-insults-mother-2020-9 Following his win against Tyron Woodley at UFC Vegas 11 on Saturday, Covington said he was tired of "woke athletes" like the Los Angeles Lakers forward and called him a "spineless coward." The American mixed martial artist, who has been vocal in his opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, also tweeted last month that police officers had "the toughest job in America" and that James should quit playing a "kids game" if he really cared about racial inequality. Though James did not respond to Covington's comments, Covington again came for the Lakers star on Monday, this time on Twitter.
  15. Have we talked about maybe the best diss I've ever seen, coming from some nobody backyard brawler? In a single sentence he destroys Lebron, Lebron's mom, and Delonte West. I was shocked with hilarity.
  16. I agree with you here. I also would take it further and say it's bad (though not worse) governance for a simple majority as well (e.g. 51% pressing an agenda that 49% doesn't agree with/want, 55%v45%, etc.) This is inherently the problem with the 2-party system and it's coming home to roost. We need to be able to govern with coalitions and committees of smaller parties that band together, if we are serious about really trying to rule in the honest interest of a very disparate population, in terms of value and belief systems. America is too big, too populous and too diverse and the toothpaste is out of the tube on fixing that with our fat-finger approach to democracy, IMO.
  17. I saw a guy driving around town with an American Flag and Thin Blue Line Flag on his truck just randomly today in Frisco and thought "Wow, that guy is probably weird." I had lunch with a guy two weeks ago for work that I'd never met before. We walk up to the restaurant door together and I pull out my mask out of my pocket and he starts in on being pissed off about having to put on a mask and stating he's going to refuse to do it and it's so stupid, yada yada. I just thought to myself how weird it is that people will be polarizing to people they just met and risk completely alienating them or making them think they are less than. The risk must be worth it and if they find a kindred soul then the benefits must be great is the only think I can think of. And I work for an organization which is extremely liberal/progressive in it's messaging and being "on-brand" (e.g. doing PR about BLM or changing the logo to rainbows in June, etc.) and I just kinda compartmentalize that and quietly just get along to get along. I guess what I'm saying is it's weird to me when people are anything but safe/neutral in professional and work settings and with strangers.
  18. Donald Trump is a lot less rich today than when he was elected president https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/09/politics/forbes-400-donald-trump-wealth/index.html
  19. I thought I read last week he was actually poorer now than he was when he got elected, I’ll have to find the link.
  20. Wow that’s pretty telling/signaling. Money talks; everything else walks.
