    There were contestants doing myriad competitions to see who'd win a prize on television?  How is that not a game show?  The competition certainly took more craftiness than say "Press Your Luck", but it was still a game show.  

    Yep. I call it a game show, too. Reality TV just sounds better, but Apprentice is a game. So is Survivor. There's nothing real about either.

    Yeah according to what I’ve seen he and his wife and three children “disappeared” while in Montenegro. And it was contemporaneously reported on in Russia.

    My question is why would the CIA or whoever is handling him registered property in his actual name?

    Oh.
     

    This is a great man and great American. I'm sure he's not at all concerned about spies finding dirt about himself.

    So apparently NBC News thinks they found the Russian spy - living in Virginia under his actual name.
     

     


    Scuttlebut on Twitter is that he and his wife and three kids disappeared while in Montenegro and the disappearance was reported on by Russian media when it happened.

    Some amateur internet detectives say this is the guy’s house and his name is Oleg Smokenkov.

    It's bad enough that Trump's "loose lips" sank one of, if not the top spy in the US arsenal, but to have the media dox this guy after decades of risking his life for America is beyond infuriating to me. 

    "Thanks for your service, do you take sugar with your polonium tea?" - NBC

    I watched the NBC story, and they neither name the agent nor specify where he lives. They withheld the information at the request of US officials.

    I couldn't open the Washington Post story, but I believe it was the "internet detectives" who outed the spy's location and name.

    The NBC story mentioned that the house was apparently being guarded by USG agents.

  4. I bet ESPN mixed up Texas and A&M when they posted.

    As for Clemson, I was not blown away by their team or their QB. I haven't seen Bama, but it looks to me like the top 6 or 7 teams are a mix. LSU looked damned good. 

    Just like everybody else around here, I hope we use the LSU film to improve secondary play. If not, we'll have to find a way to get sacks to break up drives. 

    We just may not be complete enough this year. Next year, we'll be a national monster.

    Well of course, DJ. Because the CURRENT Senator from 'The' South Carolina was away hanging with his Flaming Racist friend, and when it was discovered, the tweet was deleted. I hope his political career is OVER!

    They'd all be far superior presidents and businesspersons than Donald Trump? They're all smarter than POSUS? All better looking? All people you'd rather have as a friend? All people who are more believable? All are people who show no public signs of racism or fascism?

  7. Another demoralizing read of the last few pages. 

    If Americans don't care about (or actively support) condemnation of reporters and congresspersons as enemies of the state and treasonous, not many of us are going to give an ear or lift a finger to help these people. 

    Leave the Bahamians to starve or die of post disaster diseases.

    Leave the separated children alone in concentration camps to have their psychological wounds become deeper and irreversible.

    Shrug off death sentences for deportees here for vital medical care.

    They're all crooks and murderers and rapers, anyway. We don't want them polluting or degrading the purity of our board rooms and trailer parks. We don't need them to work the farms because the president is destroying the farm sector...which they loves him for it.

    Idiot World evolves into Cruel Idiot World. 

    USA! USA! USA!

    The chant makes me want to vomit. Arrogant, ignorant pricks.

    Guys, he canceled his trip to Poland to honor WWII

    Well, to his credit, he did congratulate Poland on being invaded and subject to Nazi tyranny and genocide. The man does have a heart, you know.

    I think he's going to throw a big tank and fireworks parade in front of one of his concentration camps to celebrate Holocaust Day and the Jewish experience of WWII. Best ever!

    Remember when Obama, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Price, bombed the ever-living-fuck out of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan, which was also a Nobel Peace Prize winner?  The first ever time one Nobel Peace Price winner has bombed another Nobel Peace Prize winner.  

    I think he bombed it and then strafed it twice and did victory rolls as he flew out. He had just enough ammunition left to shoot up some nuns near the landing field. He went over and pissed on their bodies while chanting, "Elihu Akbar!"

    Trump is such an improvement. I prefer my human rights criminals to do their killing in discreetly hidden away cells of a concentration camp or maybe sneakily shipping somebody out who needs medical care to stay alive.

    Still, they're both great at killing people. I think Obama did a couple of suicide bombings, too. He's very resilient.

    So do Mississippi State and Arkansas. It's just not a big deal because they, like A&M, are not nationally interesting teams and traditional powers. 

    Nobody cares enough about the Aggies to care if they, even with Jimbo, rise or fall.

  12. Hundreds of third parties named in currently sealed court document.

    From Forbes and other sources, I heard it on NPR:

    Topline: Hundreds of other people” could be implicated in still-sealed court documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex ring of underage girls, as a Wednesday court hearing over those documents’ proposed release turned contentious.

     

    • According to reports, U.S. district judge Loretta Preska was irritated with the lawyers present for not having a plan to review the documents for release.
    • The hearing ended with Preska ordering the lawyers to create a schedule for releasing the documents, as well as a process to determine how much information should be released to the public.
    • It’s unclear who is named in the still unreleased court records, but Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney Jeffrey Pagliuca said they include “literally hundreds of pages of investigative reports that mention hundreds of people.”
    • The new document trove is part of a 2015 defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, an alleged Epstein victim, against Maxwell, the disgraced financier’s ex-girlfriend and confidante. Giuffre claimed in the lawsuit that Maxwell, by publicly calling her a liar, forced her to endure “public ridicule, contempt and disgrace.”
    • Giuffre alleges she was trafficked to a number of Epstein’s famous and wealthy friends⁠—and that Maxwell recruited her and other underage girls as well as participating in their sexual abuse herself. Maxwell has denied all allegations.
    • 2,000 pages of documents pertaining to the case were already unsealedby the court a day before Epstein killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell.

     

    What we don’t know: The number of pages that haven’t yet been released. When issuing its order, the appellate court wrote that the media and members of the public should “exercise restraint” when reviewing new allegations and information in the unsealed records. And despite rampant media speculation (and an odd outing at a Los Angeles burger joint), Ghislaine Maxwell’s whereabouts are largely unknown.

    Think about how far we are away from signing day. That's an eternity. Think of all the football to be played, the visits, everything. There are still so many storms to weather between here and now. If we land these guys, do you think other schools are going to give up on them? A&M is still recruiting Princely Umanmielen‍ and Ryan Watts‍. They're not going to stop recruiting. Ultimately in February, this 2020 class is going to be full of impact and stud players.

    Don't worry, guys, there'll be plenty to cheer yell about at the end of the season!

    Things'll be great, I'm telling ya. Next year or the year after. Whatever it takes.

    Jimbo!

    That last paragraph is an assault on the English language. 

    These rubes that get paid to do this work, and then subsequently whine about how hard it is and how mean the customers are, never cease to amaze me. 

    You don't give us much details and hints about the guise of sources. Set us up the bomb.

    I also suppose that passive-aggressive means vague-dishonest in Texags land.

    This is the adherents' usual pattern of: don't complain, wait 'til recruiting's over; don't complain, it's over anyway; be positive and yell loud and we'll win!; have faith in our coach; we got robbed but there's recruiting!; don't complain until recruiting is over...(grammar will much certainly vary very)
