Really classes up the neighborhood.

An actual Christian leader uses the term religionists to describe these awful people. They've joined a cruel club with a Christian name but embrace none of the philosophy. In the 80s, the big thing from the found-Jesus-hogs was some quote about "stewardship." That allowed "stewarding" wealth which is, somehow, way different than owning more shit than you need. I was at a small gathering where a dickhead I really loathed was arguing the Bible doesn't require you to be generous. The nuns he was arguing with kept coming up with Bible passages to dispute him (of course, they were killing him), but the dickhead felt safe because he had his one or two passages where he and his type found what they were looking for. This went on awhile. I was already irreligious, but I liked cold debate. I, not a Bible scholar or even possessed of a passing knowledge of it, interrupted them and they politely waited for what I had to say. I know you have quotes and stuff from the Bible, but doesn't everything you (dickhead) claim go against the way Jesus lived and led and spoke? What a stunning moment! The nuns pointed at me and said, "That's it! That's it!" Dickhead was silenced. They were so tied up in quote wars, that they lost sight of the big picture. Pardon the tldr story. Goddamn you, Carton! Your slovenly ways and resemblance to an effeminate French noble have inflamed me to action! We shall meet at the TexAgs parking lot and settle this like men. When I am done with you, even Dr. Manet will not be able to save you! I suggest you train with Lord Liucci. You will not escape the cold point piercing your worthless, rotten heart, but maybe you'll be able to put up some sort of fight. Weak man! We shall see.

I've said more than once that a white male born when I was missed the draft to Vietnam, always had a safety net with mom and dad, could always find a job so long as your record was clean. All of this in the most prosperous time of the most prosperous nation in the history of the world. That said, the so-called Greatest Generation would have been the same as me and I as them had we switched birthdays. Same with you and me. Fortuna smiles on some and not on others. And we're not all the fucking same in each generation. The Greatest Generation paid their dues in the Depression and WW2. Next? They lived in a country that controlled 50% of the world market. They fought for freedom and didn't extend it to negroes or women or people of color. They became just another rapacious generation of Americans who fell in love with Ronald Fucking Reagan and happily rolled back government efforts to share a miniscule amount of the budget with those in need. Fuck them. Fuck us. Fuck you. Fuck me. A birthdate does not bestow moral superiority. In the words of Sgt. Hartman,

One of the cleverest and most cynical reads of the Dems ever. The Dems can't say no to a Black candidate. They're terrified of losing the Black vote but don't respect them enough to let them decide about what a shit heel Thomas is. They are also not cynical enough to see the Black vote won't be swayed to the GOPs over this issue. The Dems are so cowardly, they drag in Anita Hill instead of just voting their conscience. Of course, they compound their weak leggedness when they cave on invading Iraq thinking they'll be saved by some double talk language in the bill or whatever it was. And I vote for them. I hold my nose sometimes to do it, but the alternative since Reagan was elected has been out of the question for me.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

Another exciting uniform reveal for the Aggies. He walks through a vineyard to a winery to the sound of The Godfather theme. The witty parrots of TexAgs enthuse and break into wild hilarity at the tiredest most obvious jokes. I slapped my knee so hard that the cap shot out of my skin and hit an inattentive rat with enough force to kill it. Wild! Aggies are the ultimate authority on cool. Blaggies are squares! Here's a sober judgment on the importance of this video to the kids. These videos are empire building! Now? Aesthetics: -

Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!
RomaVicta replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
I'm saying that she may be shrewd and bold enough to break from Trump. If she's right, and Trump falls, she'll have MAGA credentials without the full load of Trump dookie. -
Our newspapers and TV news won't even call a lie a lie. They quote the lie then, if we're particularly lucky, they quote somebody who doesn't believe the lie. That's pretty watery reporting. Here's a headline: President Trump lies about cost of living It's true and unreachable for libel or slander laws. The owners and the boys in legal won't have it, though.

I'll differ with you a little on this one. The ships of the line threw a greater weight in metal by virtue of their array of relatively huge cannons. Line of battle fights were punching matches at close range. The carronade threw a huge ball with great force across short distances. It was developed towards the end of the sailing battleship's reign so reflects how the British and others viewed the way heavy fights would go. The British superiority in gunnery was based more on speed than accuracy. Frigates were designed to fight more like the way you describe. They were far too small with their 20-odd relatively little cannon to withstand a single broadside of 45 heavy guns. As good as the Aubrey Maturin books are, I still love Hornblower. The stories and his character remain excellent to me. I almost think Aubrey and Maturin divide Hornblower's natures as a cold-blooded intellectual and first rate captain.

[ETA: Consider my post the tedious long version of @The Dog's concise observation.] This is an interesting development. She says idiotic things that please her constituency, but maybe she's not an idiot at all. Did she cunningly embrace MAGA for cynical reasons? Is she now cynically reading the tea leaves and wanting to get out front before the bombs fall? She embraced MAGA. She vomited out everything the cult wanted to hear. She made a national name for herself. Trump's errant policies alienate the base voters. Trump is obviously wasting away mentally. She's smart enough to be the first rat off the listing ship. She starts redefining herself as not so radical. She openly disagrees with Trump. She clearly breaks with the plan to prop up Trump in office for a third term. She suggests she may run herself as though Trump will not be a factor to her chances. We often underestimate our enemies with careless declarations about their lack of intelligence. I begin to wonder about Margorie. Despicable but maybe not stupid. -
I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say how gratifying that is.

He thinks the only way people can know about cost of living is reading in the paper. Because that's the only contact he has with it. Remember what a revelation the word "groceries" was to him. New word. Never heard it much. Groceries. Huh. What do ya know?

In the second picture they're in line ahead formation. Just like these powerful battleships: I've read a lot of fiction and some nonfiction set in those days.

I don't know how you could tell but thank you!

When you're a celebrity, it's not rape. You can get away with anything when they're teenagers. They love you. Trump doesn't recognize rape as a crime. It's a business model.

Man, woman, camera, tripod. I still got it. I should run for president someday. Haven't heard from Jeff for a while. A young version of Ivanka. Ivanka. Ivanka...

I'd be shoving escapees from the fire back into the building. If true, remarkable how the GOPs found their moral compasses right after getting their clock cleaned on Tuesday. Are you disputing the Walmart Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Consumer Price Index?

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization
RomaVicta replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
It was crazy to rate Texas #1 to start the season with so many new faces on the OL. I'm glad to hear they're improving which is what one would expect over the course of the season. Next year always seemed to be the year they expected us to have this year. If Arch stays the course, we'll be tough as shit by the Aggie game. It's nice to feel like we can beat Georgia. A week ago, I felt very differently. -
Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
RomaVicta replied to GreenspointTexas's topic in Football
I suspect the big money boys are like short-sighted fans calling for getting rid of a coach just assuming they can get somebody who will have huge success. That's the Aggies. They dump Jimbo and start approaching NFL coaches and top coaches in CFB as William tells the TexAggies that these are real possibilities. Nope. I've compared it to political polls where the public is asked would you vote for the sitting or a candidate from the opposing party. It always leans to the opposing party (or used to). Everybody taking the poll is imagining their perfect candidate. The fun would be if there's fresh blood for reasonable (comparatively) money. I'm uncomfortable about the morality of tying up 100s of millions of dollars on a bet about a coach's success. But the market decides. -

A&M may be walking into buzz saw if we keep improving. -
Maybe they're all allergic to cat dandruff.
