  1. I wonder if Lev is executing Putin's coup de grace on faith in the republic. A sizable percentage of Americans will not be moved by strong evidence, and they'll fight those Americans who are. Maybe Vlad has used up his whore and is ready to shoot her in the stomach and dump her in a muddy ditch out in the country.

    Or maybe it's just more Nunez idiot shenanigans.

    Either way, I love this story.

    He was so stupid that my beautiful wife had to cut his chicken Kiev. Hopeless idiot this Nunez. Watch the tape.

    Ahhhh, yes. The republic fails because GOPs are wicked and Dems are weak. 

    If you're not willing to risk your seat on this issue, you have no business being in office. This is way worse than the Iraq invasion capitulation which was shameful.

    GOPs afraid of losing power burn everything to the ground to prevent it. Dems afraid of losing power flee to the lake and hide in the shallow water.

    This is a disgusting display of representative government.

    Adam Schiff and the brave witnesses must wonder what country they actually live in. The one they thought they did does not exist even as an ideal.

    Three farts for the red, white, blue.

  3. I applaud the protest. I think it's clever. I think the issue is worthy.

    Sports stations have a policy of not showing interruptions of games so as not to encourage streakers or protesters. It'd be funny if they turned their cameras away while news stations went live with it. I think the sports policy is fine, by the way.

    Like Walden Ponderer, I find the disdain amusing and familiar from CR.

    We’ve taken major steps backwards in a year when I felt It appeared like Tom had them moving in the right direction.

    And we're getting worse every week. A number of people speak with confidence about what the problem is, but I"m really baffled.

    Is the Herman culture thing not effective over time?

    How could offensive development slide so far in a single season?

    How does the OL get beat so badly so often on pass plays? Really, how?

    I don't look forward to the games anymore. Even when we weren't so good in the late 80s and early 90s, there were always players or efforts that were worthwhile. Now, I think we all know (me, you, the team, the world) that the game will be close no matter who we play which speaks to the cliche of killer instinct. 

    I grit my teeth to turn on the game today. I have no pleasure anticipating Friday's game. I'm tired of the coaching merry go round. 

    I want to hear the story from the locker room.

    Can any of this shit be fixed?

    I hate that I've passed through embarrassment to indifference. Another season like this, and I give up on the college game.

    It was always an easy assumption that Nunes was involved in this shit because his water carrying efforts didn’t make sense for any other reason.  Nice to see it confirmed though.  I don’t know how they will be able to keep him involved in the hearings as soon as this is proven by evidence.

    That's the rule I've been applying to all GOPs shamelessly lying and obfuscating with no regard for anything beyond party and themselves. It's far reaching, in my opinion. The GOP is a criminal organization.

    I believe chip and joanna were before or while the raping was going on. Before that was murder and animal cruelty/torture and killing. Ahh the good old days.
     

    I think they had a show in the can with Art and their Heisman QB. If I'm not mistaken, they cut out the segments with Briles because of the scandal.

    I liked their show. I don't care for Joanna going full Oprah and dispensing homey cornball philosophy to the idiot masses who actually make Waco a destination so they can see that little slice of imagined heaven. "Toto, I think we're back in Kansas. Yikes!"

    I think with the atmosphere in other aspects of America at this moment, we will likely get a national championship game that pits Penn State vs Baylor. Satan will reveal himself at midfield at half-time and be hailed as the Christ by adoring masses of meatheads who see only what they want to see.

    I'll be surprised at the Satan development but otherwise shrugging as I watch from the ledge with some virtual friends and a three fingers of aged Scotch.

    Hook 'Em till the end, my friends, Hook 'Em till the end.

    Nicole Wallace thinks the GOP would give a shit about a dead Russian hooker? They're the ones that would kill the Russian hooker.

    I take it to mean that Putin used Russian hookers to get kompromat on the GOPs. The drowned hooker serves as metonymy for the hold that Russia has on the GOPs. At first, I was puzzled because I thought like you do.

    I didn't see the original context, so maybe I'm wrong. My experience of Wallace is that she is sharper than I am, so I give her the benefit of the doubt.

  8. That every game is a shit fight no matter the opponent was an aspect of the program that was weighing on me in the off season. 

    Maybe kick more field goals and go for the first down less.

    Maybe devote the offense to scoring above the goals of being a physical running team and running out the clock with 14 minutes to go.

    Maybe stop being blinded by science.

    I used to joke that Fred Akers would score ten points in the first quarter and then start running out the clock. Those defenses were so good, he could actually win a lot of games like that. So it seems to be with Herman in the second half. It surely frustrates his offensive players and makes games closer than they need be.

    I'm not for firing him yet, but he must learn and adapt to stay.

    I am in the same boat.

    Ronny was a God to me.  Although, at the time he was first elected President, I was only in 8th grade and by November of '84 I was not yet able to vote. I was young impressionable and manipulated by my parents.

    But more than that, at the time, we had just gotten out of 'nam ('75), had been through 2 gas shortages, 20% interest rates, hostages in Iran, and Manhattan was burning nightly.  Carter was a good guy and a smart guy but seemed powerless in light of the conditions.

    Reagan came along with his slick speech, down home letters,  and his balanced California budget, and it seemed like the second coming of FDR except as a Republican.

    Really, without saying it, his slogan was MAGA. Except that he was actually somewhat competent, although lazy, and despite his other flaws, was a leader. His administrations still reverberate today for better or worse. 

    So aside from the "deplorables" , there is still a sizable number of people my age and mostly older, that cannot shake this influence. It is like a religion they were taught as children that still holds sway over them.  Despite having the entirety of world history at their fingertips and more than enough time to explore they chose to be lazy and have their thoughts dictated to them.  

     

    I cannot tell you how much it means to me to see a fellow citizen write this. Had Reagan actually stood for what he talked about, he would have embodied the traditional values that made the GOP valuable. Instead, he was the smiling, avuncular face stretched across the first iteration of the hate engine. He was perfect for that role. I doubt he ever knew that's what he was.

    In the Reagan presidency, the cancer of Rush Limbaugh spread through the land. George HW was more of a pragmatist and he got swept away. After that, a useful moron and a demagogue who snuck up and seized the reins of the hate engine.

    And here we are. A small parade of brilliant, principled government professionals speak truth to us. What does the republic do?

    Adam Schiff speaks my soul. I'm not a great citizen. I'm not a great man. I haven't done that much for my country.

    But I am a man, and the notion of duty is not alien to me. I don't like belonging to a society where shamelessness is becoming the norm. Where you have to explain duty. Where Jim Jeffords and Devin Nunez are taken seriously. It's insane. We've elevated a crotch fungus to the highest office in the land, and people in positions to be taken seriously celebrate him.

    Of course, this is the Pollyanna view point. It's not just partisan politics on the right. It's covering up a vast criminal conspiracy conducted by those sworn to uphold the Constitution of the US. We watch crooks just trying to keep the light pointed at anything but themselves.

    I won't go Travis Bickle. But I feel Travis Bickle. WTF?

    so biden didn't commit quid pro quo is your take away from his own words about withholding aid until a guy investigating his kid was fired.  that is your position?

    Quid pro quo is a description of a transaction not the name of a crime. It is not a crime to make an exchange. It is not a crime for a nation to demand something of another nation in exchange for some benefit to be given.

    It is a crime to use a US government quid pro quo in international relations to further private political interests. It's a crime with many names: bribery, abuse of power, high crime or misdemeanor.

    You're almost clever enough to take Devin Nunes' place on the committee. Almost.
