  1. Sheet. I couldn’t read the font with his name on my iPhone 13mini. That figures. The only thing hole-y about Kirk was his neck.
  2. As someone not at all familiar with RGV Mexican Trump supporters, what is the reason for that? I got mine now, the ladder and eliminate any future economic competition?
  3. Some friend is hiding her face with his jacket while she left the courtroom. The same waste of oxygen that uploaded pictures of a passed out guy’s naked junk with no problem, does not want to have her face recorded leaving the courtroom after she was charged with a felony. I hope they show every one of her fucking videos during sentencing to show her abject lack of contrition throughout this event. If any entitled snowflake ever deserved actual jail time, she would be it. I don’t want her in jail for 10 years, but 30 to 60 days just might educate her a bit. She has already put a fork in her future employment prospects.
  4. it seems like every third YouTube video is somebody describing how Russia’s economy won’t last much longer. I haven’t seen many describing the impact of the Russian economy’s implosion on Belarus. Put another way, is it safe to say that when Russia goes down that Belarus will be in that same situation sooner than later?
  5. Naturally, the dude is likely a self-professed Christian. Or at least a self-styled modern American evangelical Christian.
  6. if Ukraine struck Belarusian refineries that refine Russian oil and send it back to Russia, that would seem to be a legitimate military target, albeit certainly an attack viewed as aggression and a violation of Belarusian sovereignty. I remember reading years ago that Belarusian troops might not want to participate in a war versus Ukraine, and that scenario might be used by Belarusian military to overthrow the big idiot in charge - and also lead to a potential revolting population in some areas. Does anyone have an idea what military resources Belarus would bring to the war that hasn’t been given to the Russians already? Or is it a simple fact that Ukraine doesn’t have enough troops and defensive capability to protect yet another front from Belarusan meat waves? Or will the very idea of Belarusian meat waves in Ukraine topple their government? Or would Belarus be scared shitless of Poland Lithuania and Latvia and just strenuously protest? Somebody please edumacate me…
  7. The Libs are angry about this. Duh.
  8. Historically, most United States presidents have supported any countries that attacked America. Remember that James Madison left hot chocolate and cookies with his thank you note for the British troops that burned down the White House. There is strong historical precedent to ignore America being attacked by someone, and for that President to embrace the goals of the country attacking America. See also, FDR, wanting to bail out Mitsubishi after Pearl Harbor.
  9. And yet, there’s that pesky Constitution language. I’m pretty sure that the only remedy for pardon malfeasance is the ballot box and the impeachment process.
  10. Looking forward to meeting many of you assholes on October 17. My typing figures to God‘s eyes that will both be highly ranked enough for the game to be important.
  11. Yup. I know I’m a broken record, but Democrats really don’t need the 15 to 20% swing that we are seeing in some states. A 6 or 10% swing could reduce a republican bloodbath. At this point, I think it is pretty well established that most voters only care about themselves and their own financial well-being. I don’t think Hispanics are gonna react as devotedly to the strong leader construct if their businesses are going broke and their families are having a hard time paying their bills. If “it’s the economy stupid” is really the driver, then all of the demographic masturbation thoughts really don’t matter. I recently saw a bunch of interviews with young people before the 2024 election, and none of them really had any idea how anything worked, but all of them were feeling pressured and scared by poor economic conditions - high food and housing accompanied by employment difficulties and inability to own a home, crippling student loans, etc. None of their responses had anything to do with political philosophy, and almost everything to do with their personal financial situation. I continue to pray for the deep recession that will cause massive pain to the country yet save our democracy.
  12. i’ve hated Notre Dame since 1966 when that punk ass Ara Parseghian ran out the clock and kicked a field goal to tie Michigan State, and claim a national championship. My dad explained the arrogance and hypocritical mindset that was Notre Dame, demanding to be treated special. They were special, in a way. Nobody else had an army of Catholic priests telling high school recruits that they had to go to Notre Dame and support their religion. Notre Dame intentionally playing for a tie sums up the essence of Notre Dame football.
  13. For sure. But Cubans are only 25% of Hispanic population in Florida. You are absolutely correct that they are far more hardwired to always vote GOP.
  14. Interesting thought. Regarding the Miami Mayor, I saw where the Hispanic vote turned heavily democratic compared to past years. I’m hopeful that the Texas gerrymander districts include the assumption that Hispanic vote will go largely GOP in the 2024 percentage. It would be a hoot if Texas created their own Democratic congressional districts if pissed off Hispanics turned heavily democratic in the midterm

  16. Stupid restraining order!
  17. Yeah, we do.
  18. Seeing ham and pineapple pizza on the menu can break a guy with pre-existing mental problems.
  19. “If no sex was good enough for Mary, it’s good enough for him.” - Cowboy Church pastor, probably.
  20. Last time I saw him live was April, 2018, a great Mavericks concert. The venue was St. George’s Theatre on Staten Island. This one hurts.
  21. Had the Russians found him he would’ve been dinner
  22. Tl;dr. Fuck their feelings
  23. And, I guess, two seemingly disparate things could both be true. Putin gets to fill positions that he previously gutted, and once they are in those positions, he can always send them to Ukraine again if he thinks he needs them. Given the economy tanking and all the layoffs, I’d imagine there are many desperate men looking for work who are willing to sign up for those jobs. Russia doesn’t seem to care much about honoring contract terms once they’re signed, but it very much needs people to sign more contracts. Two birds, so to speak.
