  1. Everybody form a circle. Reach right right, annnnnnd go.

    ETA:

    You know, I'm wrong on this one. Lauren pretty much ran on gun-fantasy port and her background with Ted Cruz further makes my post inappropriate.

    Just leave AOC out of it, please.

    All this new antisemitism just ain't nearly as good as the old stuff from back in the day.

    Keep your radio tuned to the Classics here on KLAS!

     

    Is there not a single competent lawyer or college graduate to help them word their idiotic proposals? Just about any person who writes here could do better. It reads like TexAgs.

    She's right. You never see Mexicans or other Hiispanics of color working their asses off in the hot sun for companies that deduct for Social Security and taxes. They could send money back to their families in their home countries if they'd just get off their lazy asses. 

    And how dare they ever be hungry when they're getting started! It's not humanity that a country with endless amounts of food wants to ease hunger; it's treason!

    I forget the timeline. Was it a full-on war zone at the time Dotard wanted to go there? 

    It was right after his speech. The crowd at the time, as I recall, was in place and rowdy. I don't think they'd attacked the barriers yet, but I'm not sure. My impression was that he could have arrived ahead of the actual physical assault. It came out in the House Investigation.

    Someone in contact with Trump's detail, someone high in the administration, related the story to Hutchison who repeated it under oath.

    The idea that Trump actually asked them to proceed to the Capitol is utterly laughable.

    This. He’s lying 

    Are you guys kidding? There was testimony to the effect that he not only asked but threw a fit when the SS denied him. One agent told a witness in the White House that Trump grabbed for the wheel.

    I know some disagree, but Trump walking up the steps of the Capitol changes everything. The Capitol Police would be faced with interfering with the President of the US and his Secret Service detail. I think he'd walk in with no resistance.

    Plus, he knows the race wasn't stolen. He had to stop the procedure.

    Stop sucking, dumbass. Yes, when you're so sorry that you are barely ranked or not ranked, a lot of the teams you face will be ranked higher than you. You will no doubt struggle more with your schedule than we will with ours. Miss State, Michigan State, and Arizona State all feel your pain.

  7. I'm sure I'm getting tiresome grousing about language, but what the fucking fuck:

    Bad behavior? Really?

    I'd say their victims were terrorized with an aim to spread terror. Bad behavior, indeed.

    That'll show 'em!

    This remains an embarrassing attempt at a figleaf; looking like your doing something even though you are not doing anything.

    The charade of punishing specific units instead of holding their government command accountable will only make American lawmakers feel better about supporting things we're supposedly staunchly against. In the end, we're the goddamn charade.

    Here in Idiot World, it will possibly lead to the election of an absolute villain.

    Perhaps it's just an ill-chosen picture, but does that look like a checkpoint to anyone? Looks like an ambush, but the press doesn't want to use any prejudicial language (or they're just stupid).

    Driving to a doctor appointment yesterday, I listened to one of the NPR daytime programs, The World or Here and Now or Whatever. I don't return to this story often anymore because it's so frustrating and brutal. On the program they have changed the nomenclature to War on Gaza instead of the Gaza War.

    Just can't get their timid lil' brains around the fact that this is a brutal invasion without regard for non-combatants' lives or famine among the population Israel has displaced. It's evidently common knowledge now that Netanyahu supported Hamas and is no more moral than Donald Trump.

    There's your story. It's horrific. It's a scandal. Feelings about the Jewish people in general have nothing to do with it. 

    Only the occasional panel member mentions it. Now back to the "war" in Gaza that was provoked by the unspeakably depraved attack on Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

    It's not a war.

    The bloody depraved campaign in Gaza can no longer be even remotely justified by Oct. 7.

    Israel has a wicked leader who is at the center of this brutal reality.

    Start there. Give us the straight dope on an imperialist psychopath who only cares for retaining power and using brutal means to do so.

    Oh, he was also in charge when the Oct. 7 attack occured and his regime ignored warnings and failed to defend their people.

    Here in America, let's sic the police on anyone who joins a protest gathering opposed to the slaughter.

    Idiot World.

    Terry Bussey as a "generational talent" is a new one for me. Nice prospect, sure. Guy I'd be happy to have on our roster, sure. But by that logic the state of Texas is producing like 5 "generational talents" per year, which feels like it doesn't quite add up.

    He was also a huge momentum boost for Elko when he was getting started. A breathless world awaited Bussey's decision.

    Everytime I see this, I see how pathetic Aggies are. Does any other school anywhere or even a hometown curio shop have an opponent's mascot in full costume? It's unthinkable anywhere else because no other rivals have a party that has declared jihad and is identified by that jihad.

    You might think that we created the mascot below as satire:

    But no, they created that idiotic thing, too.

    A good piece on Pecker's final day of testimony and an opinion that "standard operating procedure" is too sleazy to work on the jury. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/standard-operating-procedure-sure-seems-criminally-sleazy

    Also contains something I think was missing from the day-by-day narrative posted by Francisco:  

    All of which is why AMI consulted with an election law attorney before the McDougal agreement was finalized, Pecker explains. 

    But as far as Pecker knows, the election law attorney only reviewed the plain text of McDougal’s contract, which didn’t mention anything about Pecker’s arrangement with Trump and Cohen or his expectation that he would be reimbursed for buying McDougal’s story.

    Kaboom.

    Also, a good piece, citing to Jack Balkin's (a real, live crit, by the way, meaning CLS scholar) and Steve Vladeck's blogs. on why the reportage of the immunity argument at SCOTUS was hysterical and catastrophizing.  https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/catastrophizing-the-oral-argument-in-trump-v.-u.s

    The lawfare piece is very good. Thanks.

  12. I happened to be in NYC soon after Trump Tower opened. He seemed like a prick, but we all thought he was a huge success story. I went into the building.

    All the gold and marble screamed tacky.  I was rather surprised. It was the first real insight into his insane concern that everybody thinks him to be King Midas.

    I also had the feeling that I didn't belong. They didn't want me to feel like I could casually stroll around. I was probably in jeans and an okay shirt and sneakers. Just a person.

    Whatever chance there was that I might have a favorable opinion of him vanished in that short visit to his Pleasure Dome.

    I just think you’re not considering all the variables in your “give up your dogs” solution. For example, I don’t have kids. I have three dogs that weigh a combined 50 pounds. You suggesting I give them up to fight climate change is asinine.

    I never suggest such a thing. I specifically state that all current pets should carry on as they are. Acquiring new pets would be discouraged by high licensing fees or something.

    Your argument for keeping pets in general is the same as not giving up eating some beef.

    I've made my point. Emotions are triggered which I don't care to engage.
