  1. "Tribunals" of any sort are a middle man. We're gonna jump to "ICE can arrest anyone, anywhere, at any time, for any reason they make up, and ship your ass to a detention center here or abroad, without telling anyone where you are. They get to disappear you, on their decision and word alone" REAL quick. Hint: we're kinda there already, they just need to expand the practice a bit more.
  2. Also this. 80% of democrat voters are willing to toss a dem politician in jail if he committed a crime. 80% of GQP voters will absolutely and unconditionally support, defend, and vote for a GQP politician who committed a crime. As just one nifty little example of the vast difference between the two political philosophies nowadays. Don't give me that "both sides" bullshit. One side believes in continuing the democratic republic we have had for 250 years, the other side is openly working to turn it into a full-on autocracy, and scrapping the whole goddamned thing. Fuck that, and fuck them.
  3. In fairness...I'm betting there are a lot of sex tapes out there we haven't seen. A fact for which we should probably have some gratitude.
  4. Yeah. The number of people who still don't understand how cults work - a decade after this particular cult took off in full - baffles me. IDGAF what you WANT to believe. Believe the truth that is right there in front of you. Imagine the worst thing on earth that Trump could do. Double it. Add 1,000 dead babies killed by him personally to the mix. And then realize that it won't fucking matter, he won't lose a single vote.
  5. Yeah. We're at a whole bunch of "last line of defense" spots, hombre. That's no bueno.
  6. Guess you missed the part where one of the president's most trusted advisors says she wants to expel me and my family (all US citizens...but also hispanic) from the United States. She wants to get rid of all 65 million of us. Her words, her numbers. Yeah, friendo. Your team wants to exterminate me and my family. So, congratulations for not facing an existential threat from this regime -- for those of us who ARE facing that threat, go fuck yourself.
  7. Whatever debate there was in the past about Israel "becoming the monster it claims to be fighting against" -- and without rehashing 75+ years of discussion, there was a spectrum of defensible opinions on the matter -- that debate is functionally over. Israel has affirmatively and defiantly said "fuck yeah, we've become the monster. What are you gonna do about it?" It feels good in the moment, at least to the Israeli hardliners and the "I support Israel, no exceptions" crowd. But it may well be fatal in the long run. Plenty of folks around here are a good example. I have long been pretty pragmatic on the matter; Israel exists, it has a continuing right to exist, and we (the world in general) should support its continued existence. But today? Israel can do what it wants, I guess, like any nation state can and will. But they're gonna do it without my support, and I'd prefer without my tax dollars and weapons. A hostile enemy force attacked a guy I know, committing horrific atrocities, including against civilians. That guy said "I'm gonna go kick those guys' asses, and get my people back." And most all of us said "yep, you go do that." Now, that guy is openly and proudly gunning down innocents left and right (and "now" has been a pretty long damned time in this war -- we went beyond "it's a complex kinetic action, collateral casualties will happen" after the first couple of months), is purposefully engineering a famine, and even prohibiting civilians from TOUCHING the sea (the only source of water, cleaning, etc. around). Yeah, most sane people would tell that guy "dude, WTF? Cut that shit out, and if you wanna keep it up, you're on your own. I'm not with you." Becoming the pro-genocide guys rarely turns out well for you in the long-run, but Israel is gonna make a run at
  8. Nice try. They were nursing and pregnant with little terrorist babies. The lying Hamas-owned press just wants you to THINK that infants are innocent. Why are you so anti-Semitic?
  9. Yes. That's his position. There still exist 1) a number of combatants/potential combatants greater than 0 in Gaza, and 2) Hamas is still holding hostages. Therefore....whatever Israel does to CIVILIANS in Gaza is 100% justified. Sure, he SAYS "Israel isn't infallible, or even blameless," yet......the IDF slaughtering 100 people waiting for food aid? That's ok. Israel waging what literally every objective observer say is a purposeful famine? That's ok. Israel government officials openly stating that they intend to cleanse Gaza of all Palestinians (not just combatants)? That's ok. Israel banning people in Gaza from....even touching seawater? That's ok. I guess he wants to hold Israel accountable for...I dunno...wasting ammo? Why shoot civilians indiscriminately when you can just round them up, arrest them, and then dispatch them with a well-placed single shot to the back of the head? Israeli fiscal irresponsibility REALLY pisses him off.
  10. Yeah.....but still....it's inexcusable and unforgiveable. I've gotten used to my country being the worst, might as well get used to my generation being the worst. And we're going down with both ships.
  11. Man. I miss when nutbar news was shit that got handed out on leaflets by a dude with a van in a parking lot of the gun show. His van was shitty, covered in nutty bumper stickers, and he'd set up a folding table with all kinds of materials. That's how I learned that Lyndon Larouche was working to expose how the Kennedy assassination was faked to cover up the fact that aliens already forbade us from landing on the moon which means that the moon landing was fake too and also I should take lots of colloidal silver. Now, that fucking van dude has a Youtube channel with 12 million followers, who think that he is a straight-shooter with upper management written all over him, and the AP and Reuters are.....crazy dudes in vans. World turned upside fucking down.
  12. Yeah, ummm...... Seriously. A position that ends up being "don't trust Reuters, trust Candace Owens, who has no qualifications to talk about....anything" could not capture any better how fucked we are as a species.
  13. To be fair, you were a little bitch before cancer, too. Buckle down and get this shit done. Monday’s cancer-killing time.
  14. I dig it, I dig her…but…she’s a bit cloying and comes across as full of herself. For a sexy, jazzy voice, with a real woman’s confidence and swagger, I’m still digging Rachel Price.

    Match was fun enough. Stuver had a great outing, made you happy for him. Evander and Bounga were fun to watch, and it was cool as hell to see Gilberto Mora score for Liga MX. 16 yrs old. That’s nuts.
  16. I'm sure it's mucus.
  17. I mean....I gotta say....the room for the "happy that civilians are being slaughtered, and believe that the perpetrators shouldn't be held accountable for it" crew is pretty small. Doesn't even look to have that many chairs in it.
  18. Elmo and his cadre of incels only like objects of sexual desire with no agency/ability to refuse/reject them. That leaves them with 1) women they can buy with enormous wealth (a viable strategy for Elmo, but not many of his fanbois), and 2) sex robots. Remember, always: these people are TREMENDOUS losers.

    But....but...he'll lose a game's pay! That will surely financially ruin him!

    Sure, he can do what he wants - he'll get a one-game suspension. We were going to go no matter what, but still, would have liked to have seen him play.
  21. No, see, it's an AI Space company that is going to Mars and saving humanity and replacing all workers and TO THE MOON! You plebes just don't get his genius.
  22. It means that a consultant group will say anything to get your money, so they can then spend that money on "political strategy" work by....that same consultant group.
