Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
RomaVicta replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
I guess the AG just hangs around on the White House lawn? Maybe she personally checks the IDs of visitors or screens the hairy-armed manly men that come weeping to to Trump's side to thank Mr.-President-sir for all he's doing for the farmer and the small businessman in addition to her day job. Maybe she's just awaiting her turn at the mushroom like the rest of the Cabinet. Hope she's safe from trans snipers! -

NYT The slavery of template language: Fierce condemnation? Fierce? Oooooooh, words like a tiger. College grad, elite newspaper writing. Derailing a diplomatic resolution? Link When was it ever railed to begin with? I guess in the template for armed conflict it was there from the start because, well, because laziness. At last, the tame, cowardly NYT finds someone they quote to describe what has been self-evident for over a year. Whew! But oh noes! There's another side to the story! The murderers have doubts about those saying they murder. Poor NYT, varnishing truth and accuracy yet again. But, Roma, how would we, the esteemed New York TImes, know there was famine? We were at DefCon Sharpest on the impotent response scale. Gentler days. The word famine existed long before the UN. One didn't require special dispensation to declare it. It was certainly never meant to be a word whose non-usage implies that killing hunger is not present. Picture from more than a year ago: Most Americans probably don't care, anyway, but the NYT and other mass outlets should present the clear picture so their readers can decide for themselves. So many things bringing our world down. So few things being done by the powerful to stop them.

It might've been a joke that we were pointing to the SHSU game as the breakout game of our season. -
Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
RomaVicta replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I'm all about the emotion of the sport. I don't study analytics. My point is that a person can inspire for sure. The persons you name do so. There is no such thing as someone who can't be beat in the way that there is no bronc' that can't be broke. What happens if two QBs who can supposedly will their teams to victory are on opposite teams? Matter vs anti-matter? Tebow vs VY? I guess to my ears, the "will their team to victory" actually discounts the magic of inspiring. Or maybe it's just semantics. No need to be sorry; I don't think we're in much of a disagreement. -

1. Was he actually "tremendous" last year? He was solid again so-so competition and absolutely useless against Georgia. That's not so bad for his first starts, but it's not really "tremendous." It seemed so to many of us, me included, because we thought it portended the greatness we expected. A more effective QB such as Caldwell could prove to be may not win 6 SEC games, but he's a better option than a less effective QB. 2. Maybe the offense needs a dynamic leader whose effort and performance lift the whole unit. I think the notion of a QB "willing" his team to win is sportswriter idiocy, but they can damn sure lead their team to higher performance. It's in the fucking job description. Again, I'll refer to Randy McEachern in 1977. The best player based on current performance needs to start at every position on the field. It's the only criterion to use for success. We'd be crazy not to give Caldwell substantial playing time against Sam Houston. We can't put all our chips on what we've seen so far from a great guy who just isn't cutting it. -

The great victory of their narration here is that the focus of the story has been deftly shifted from the turd that Kirk was to using the motive of the killer to sanctify Kirk in spite of his excremental actual history. It doesn't take much to distract the simplistic vision of the major news media from the big story of what it means that the GOPs are celebrating this hateful fascist to the less relevant story of the politics of the shooter. Anti-republic party: We need two things: A rallying point for a new surge of hate to justify furtherance of fascism. A distraction from the surprising problem of Epstein. Luckily for us, somebody shot a fuckwad that we can make into a martyr! Strategy? With remarkable swiftness: Define Kirk before the bumbling media can. Flags at half mast. Vice presidential conveyance of the saint's body to DC Moments of tearful silence and prayer. Swear bloody vengeance. Blame the radical socialist's history of violence which we've all seen (talk about shameless lying!) Specifically, go after trans-sexuals who are invading bathrooms and crowding women out of women's sports. "They're killing us all!" Announce crack down on (criminal persecution of) illusory socialists and trans-sexuals to protect our precious bodily fluids. Keep flooding the zone. Wonder why nobody is trying to stop us. I just assume it's working. I'd be delighted to be told that I'm missing out on the big backfire. -
We're still calling this a war? To quote Animal Mother, "this isn't a war. It's a slaughter." Brave fellows indeed in their jets and tanks blasting the fuck out of a town filled with starving refugees. Who would have thought that sanctions threatened two years into a genocidal attack wouldn't work? I'm sure another round of international condemnation will put an end to the starvation of tens of thousands of homeless children. Shalom! We're really really alarmed now, goddamn you! Really really really alarmed! So alarmed are they that they are rolling out the word genocide as though that was the mark we had to hit before shit was bad for the civilian Gazans being bombed, shot, displaced, and starved for two years. That word has been used as a wicked semantic crutch to make everybody not feel so bad about the slaughter. It's the triple dog dare of international impotence and moral vacuity. Has the UN pronounced it a famine yet so that the NYT and CNN can apply that word? Got to have a quote before you can declare what you see as what you see. Motherfuckers. Haven't seen such bravery since the German Army cleared the Warsaw Jewish ghetto! Thank merciful Jesus that our president applauds!

Thanks, @Brisketexan for pointing this excellent post out to me. I missed it trying to catch up. I will only add that I shared this entire experience that @Valmy77 describes. It started with quotas that forced big business to hire women and minorities which, in turn, created incentive to make sure these people got the education and experience to fill the jobs they'd been blocked from for decades. Unsurprisingly, white men (I'm one) became angry at being passed over for the first wave of underqualified persons of color or females. I recall thinking and arguing that this was a small sacrifice for a better society when compared to those called to actual war. This would be our temporary sacrifice for America which would have huge longterm upside. Eventually, I was passed over for a position by a lesbian chicana who was skilled at one part of the job, but likely not as good an overall fit as I would have been. It would have been an important step in a career in that field. I was disappointed. I was also sort of gratified that I could walk the talk of my earlier arguments. The whining white men won in the end, I see. Poor babies. -

In our assymetrical war of pro-republic versus anti-republic, accuracy has been portrayed as name-calling. Your words and whom you support define you pretty clearly. This unattractive label allows fascists to claim the right to indignation while non-fascists in public forums shy from describing what their eyes clearly see. Ironically, the indignant party shamelessly spews hyperbole and lies like the ass end of a diarrhea rocket. These sensitive souls speak of Dems as radical socialists looking to destroy America and prone to violence. They all nod and feed from the rocket's nozzle. Your president and party are fascists in the process of dismantling what was once a pretty good republic. You revere the Pledge of Allegiance but abbreviate it similarly to the way the Second Amendment gets abbreviated. Sure, let's pledge allegiance to the flag. Full stop. The republic for which it stands? Huh? Wahz that? I just know that I'm on the same team as that jersey flying from the pole. Are you? The ill fate of a fascist disturbs me not at all. The fascists say they are at war with me; why should I give a shit if one of them dies? Why shouldn't I be glad of it? I'm not forced to be assymetrical anymore than those who embrace the advantages of assymetrical conflict. TLDR? Fuck you and shut up, fascist.- 6342 replies

Not every death is tragic. All lives are not of equal value. We kill enemies all the time. Life is cheap. Fuck the amoral and malign for projecting their wickedness on everybody else. Alas, a country is what it embraces. -

Who said anything about jumping? I thought it was a watch party where we will be warmed by the distant flames and toasting Earl Campbell and VY. Drunk witnesses to history. Ain't doin' no jumpin'. -
What kind of pillow does Arch have? There's your problem. The fucking pillow. And that's Sark's fault all the way. If Sark wasn't calling the plays, he could notice things like pillows.

@Incredulity, you really don't want to know about your part destroying this republic. You want to parrot what you learned on the radio and never revisit it's validity. You're a lost cause. Fuck you and everybody like you.- 6342 replies

Hello National Guard. -
I've begun wondering if Sark has used these cupcake games to either bring Arch up to speed or, failing that, create a public consensus that a move has to be made. If he benches Arch now, it's not some crazy out-of-blue decision. Further, as I've written before, I think Arch being taken from the field with the challenge of earning his way back onto it is a new approach to his problems. If he doesn't play any better, he's welcome to leave should he choose to do so. He is not currently performing at a level to start at Texas nor is he showing much potential for getting that good. We're not the University of Arch. The Ohio State game meets that mark. The abysmal performance since then punctuates it.

Other than a few judges that they overturn, they haven't hit a guard rail yet, and they keep pushing. Your fear is smart. They are a miasma. They float unstoppably and almost without form. The stinking fog of lies envelops us all and devours a relative few. Nobody knows what to do. I don't know what to do. I hate it. -

They won't talk about groypers, the Catholic Radical Right movement, or Kingdom Christianity. You see, their rise is news. News organizations (TV ones for sure) are hostile to news because exploring involves effort and being able to operate outside the template. I've learned of these movements in The New Yorker and The Atlantic. Radical mags printed in secret basements using mimeograph and only passed around by hand. They're so obscure, I bet CNN hasn't even heard of them. Lazy, incompetent (largely due to college education), and terrified describes CNN and other prominent national news outlets. Please let me know when CNN has a panel show exploring "Are Trans-sexuals a violent threat?" Too dumb to face the reality that their question lends credibility to a notion that basic investigative journalism could have been disproved by reviewing crime statistics or other credible sources. But no, it's so much easier to host a panel and allow somebody totally wrong and dishonest equal voice to truth. Every TV journalist's wet dream is to host their own news show. -

And just like Donald Trump, none of these aspects of his character are at all hidden or diluted. Which brings us to the second astute post: There it is. Compliments to both.
