  1. This is even worse more pathetic than their claim to be the only 12th Man. They probably tried for traditions, code of honor, and image of persons squeezing their own testicles.
  2. Do kids really need nicer hospitals? Fuck that. All in, baby!
  3. We've come a long way from star players having the right to market their NIL (undeniable change). Who knew that the NIL value of an offensive guard is huge. This isn't working out that it's just bag men going legit. "NIL" has no attachment to its original meaning. We're watching a grotesque expenditure of funds to make 20 year olds millionaires with money that could be used for things so much more valuable. I respect Michael Dell for using his billions for something else. College and NFL fans are getting what they want: college NFL except the contracts last only a year. Players and billionaires are calling the shots. I wouldn't blame Sark or anyone preferring the more orderly NFL over this free-for-all. I'm still in, but everything is feeling different. I know things had to change. I didn't foresee this kind of chaos.
  4. Our troops will be greeted by a shower of flowers and chocolate! America is always a force for good! This is one of the reasons we're more respected around the world more than ever before.
  5. Aggie scorns Tech: Seen personally in Washington DC Metro sometime in the past: They're fearless! And international! I'm sure Londoners can't believe their luck. Fair and balanced:
  6. I thought about this after I posted what you respond to. I'm assuming a lot of stuff and, like you, I don't know what they're spending and what they can spend. If they've built the team with money, my point was weak. As a bit of idle speculation, I will point out that Cignetti has been an impressively winning coach at levels where money didn't matter so much. Or maybe I'm wrong about that, too.
  7. I think Indiana is proof that it's not all about the money. That's cynical simplism. Many elements come into play. It's hard to watch Indiana and not want to go there even if you do make a little less money.
  8. Probably smell better, too. Part of my comment to this is in the prior post. Trying to kick America out by threatening (even by protest) to take over an American base plays right into Trump's hand. He'd describe it as another Portland only worse! We gotta send the Army!
  9. For all practical purposes, we own Greenland as a strategic necessity. There are more American military already on the island than citizens. [I was ridiculously wrong on that statement. I thought I'd heard from some reliable source. @bolverk corrected me below. We only have the one base. Apologies.] I do believe Denmark has offered to allow further US military development as an appeasement. I googled to see if they resist American bases there: It's the below ground minerals and rare earths that Trump wants. Having those would be good for America, but, Trump's way, it becomes another cash cow for the oligarchs and corporations. We can have our way there through normal means. Contract with Greenland/Denmark for mineral rights which, gasp, means they would actually get something out of it. The Americans want it fucking all.
  10. He's already running the US. I'm sure he'll do a bang up job with Venezuela. Trump doesn't have the coherence for strategic thought. I think Miller is making regime-change more literal. I increasing don't think the threats to everybody else are haphazard. We're running a protection extortion. It'd be a real shame if somebody came to your country and what happened to that poor Maduro guy happened to you. You playin' ball? We want to be on the ground in Venezuela for their oil. I don't think that part of the Milroe Doctrine will work out. The other countries? You just need tribute. Lot's of it. Meanwhile, Trump at Mar al Lago sliding around on the shit in his diapers going after personal enemies. Happy happy happy. zzzzzzzz We ate the world. We killed the children. True. I don't see that happening any more than you do: I keep imagining if there were only three networks. This scene would be played before a large majority of Americans and then discussed at the watercoolers that still existed. They'd all be in on the outrage. Those days are gone. Hardly anybody sees it. The rest have a hundred other channels to choose from. They're not dumber; it's just the connection to the world has changed from what it was. President Johnson or Nixon calling Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Harry Reasoner (network anchors of the day), or the NYT "fake news" would be absurd. They might be wrong but never fake. There's no going back, I realize. It's just such a tragic change in the republic's discourse that no person likely foresaw. It really does look like it's over for this place. These stories sadden me more than provoke outrage. I'm part of a routed army.
  11. Couldn't agree more. To the letter of the law. The letter.
  12. Okay, they've done the oil thing. It's the most obvious. Who will parody the notion of us running Venezuela with no plan whatsoever for doing so?
  13. Out of bed? No sweat. A few feet from the bathroom door? Now we're talking.
  14. I watched the whole thing and thought the reporters did a rare good job in following up. I think there were at least 5 questions attacking the same issue. Trump blathered about something unrelated most times. The press then moved on to other fruitless queries. I was too disgusted to check out headlines. I'm sure we got: US Bombs Venezuela,Threatens Larger Invasion US to Run Venezuela. Trump Can't Say How Trump Lies to America about Invasion
  15. Joe Biden's Bay of Pigs was a disaster. We'll use the American military this time. The greatest in the world. I never get credit for that, but that's okay. They were out of bullets, but I gave them the bullets. Tough bullets, ma-an those bullets hurt. Heh heh. Our soldiers now have the best bullets. Better than those lousy wooden bullets Obama had. They just bounce off. Bounce off... Man, giraffe, camera, woman...Anybody seen Ivanka lately? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  16. Scientists have yet to determine... ...what aspect of a circle jerk produces such brilliant, insightful, fresh insights and attitudes. But they're working on it.
  17. I don't think the evaluations need to occur every ten minutes or with every bit of news made by the same, shrill humorless choir singing the same song over and over.
  18. What more can you do? I'm really enjoying the football board regurgitations about Sark and Flood. They're just as fresh and enlightening when regurgitated 20 times as they were the first time that vomit slapped the floor! We. Get. It.
