    Also I don't think the other numbers are correct unless you're only looking at one specific timeframe and I bet they took all the numbers from 2009 only.

    Agreed.  It won't be long and someone will post the undoctored one.  I would go with early in each administration.   What Obama inherited from W and what Trump inherited from Obama.

    Really wish someone would turn these Cruz comments into commercials. 

    Deep narrator voice: “ted Cruz thinks debating on Friday nights during Texas high school football season is actually a good idea.”

    ”ted Cruz hates Whatsburger”

    ”is Ted Cruz even a real Texan”

    ”Beto loves both Whataburger and Friday night high school football games. Vote Beto!”

     

    Next Beto commercial:   Cruz standing at one of two podiums, the second is empty.  Cut away to Beto at a HS football game, eating a Whataburger. 

    You could use any of your tag lines then.  The first political commercial meme.

    Average age of everyone in this picture - roughly 86.

     

    Average Only race: White

  3. Just watched The Sting with my son last night.  Tonight is Butch and Sundance.

    I would add The Natural.  He was on scholarship as a pitcher at CU, but he got kicked out for drinking.

     

    His later work is pretty good too.  He did some good stuff on aging.   

    A Walk in the Woods and Our Souls at Night are both good movies, once you get past how he looks.  I would guess he had plastic surgery on his eyes.     Interesting his leading lady in "Souls" was Fonda.  Maybe he thought it would be his last, so he wanted to complete the circle.

    I'm gonna get on the record that I think Kirk makes it to the season healthy and finishes the year with the highest ypc on the team. Limited carries (3rd or 4th most) and not a lot of TDs. 

    Now let me go find some wood to knock the fuck out of

    E: Going off nothing but blind faith and belief in his grind here. It's one of my bold predictions for the season. Speaking of, we need a 'Call your shot' type thread in the week leading up to the season. 

    I like the cut of your jib.

    That's PlayPal.

    Don't even go there.   That gives paypal an excuse to hold money on the suspicion it's being transferred for sex worker purposes.   Paypal really sucks, but it's the best option now. 

    On the other hand, I have to give credit to Immamac for his handling of all this in a very patient, gracious and efficient way.    It seems odd to say "thank you for taking my money in such a nice manner"  but then I think of the Patterson type alternatives there could be to this, and I applaud effort made to keep the site as pure and un-commercial as possible.  Thanks for that.

    I get weekly text messages. 

    If I tell them I hate the current R party and plan to vote against every single one of them, will the texts stop? 

    It helps.    Then you get texts asking you if you want to do something like the phone banking, canvassing, or at the least financial contributions.  But once we hear "I'm for Beto" the message changes.  If you stay with it and don't want to do anything but vote, then you get taken off the list.   At least that is the way it was explained to me.

    That would likely help, right? His base would brush it off and the moderates and some disaffected R’s might eat it up...

    Probably couldn’t hurt anyway and W clearly hates Cruz.

    REK's endorsement is probably just as big in the youth circle.  REK coming out will be more confounding to aggy than the Kerville/JFF connection.  REK has achieved even more godlike status in aggylore than even Lyle Lovett. 

    Plus they would probably say W is just senile, doesn't know what he is talking about anymore.

    Is he having a stroke?

     

    There are some pretty solid theories about wildfires being worse than they used to be because after we clear cut a lot of forests, we just let all vegetation come back and fight it out.  What we ended up with is a lot of underbrush that serves as a fuel source the old forests didn't have.  With that extra brush and mid range vegetation a fire has enough fuel to reach up higher into the big trees which eventually works into the crowns.   

    Old forests survived lots of fires because there was not this thick layer of fuel, as the taller trees blocked the sun from those smaller plants, thus preventing them from growing.  So if a fire did roll through it only had a thin layer of leaves and pine needles to burn.   Not enough heat to reach the lower branches.

    So instead of using good forestry management and clearing underbrush before hand, we let it grow.  Many blame the environmentalists on this, because they supported laws that prevented cutting anything down, due to habitat threat issues.   Maybe that is true, but there isn't any money in the scrubby stuff, so unless good forest husbandry was written into the contract for the timber cutters, then it wasn't going to be done.    It's a lot like miners going in and stripping out resources and leaving behind a creek that's now a superfund site. 

    So I don't know what the hell he is talking about when it comes to the water use situation, but i would bet his thoughts on "bad environmental laws" are based somewhat on what I have explained.  But of course he only understood part of it, the liberal part. 

    As far as "tree clear"  I guess he is talking about cutting a fire line, to cut off the head of a fire.  But once it gets in the crowns these things develop their own weather fronts, as big fires draw oxygen to them, causing wind up and out, carrying firebrands for miles sometimes.   Maybe he means they have laws that prevent cutting the underbrush in some areas.  I am not sure.  

    But like everything else, heaven forbid explaining things.  That can't be done in a tweet. 

    The book Collapse, by Jared Diamond does a good job describing these forest management theories.

  9. That video Dolemite posted is probably the most intelligent propaganda piece I have seen.   It pretty well lines out what I have repeatedly heard from the most adamant Q turds I know. 

     

    Is there a way to verify the number of sealed indictments they keep spouting?  That really is the cornerstone of their arguments.  "All this must be true, or there wouldn't be 40,000 sealed indictments ready to be served"

    It’s every right wing conspiracy theory rolled into a movement for Trump(Putin).  There is no unifying ideology except everyone not in on Qanon is a brainwashed sheep and liberalism is a disease.

    Well, I have to admit that I am not up on all the conspiracy theories, so this one about reducing the world population to a handful of servants was new to me.

     

    Thing I struggle with is why not just poison off the bulk of us using contrails or whatever.  Surely with that much money they could develop something that would be fast acting that would dissipate quickly after its done is job.  Like some strain of bird or swine flu.   Probably put some quick decomposition formula in it to speed cleansing of the planet.  

    But instead they are risking all out civil wars that would destroy material things like buildings and art that could give these elites pleasure.  That seems to go contrary to their plan, to rid the world of the people and retain the physical stuff to enjoy and own. 

  11. I am waiting for Q to start to splinter some.  But they might not.  The ones I know that are deeply entrenched see themselves collectively as V from V for Vendetta.  All the ones who are now showing up at rallies and waving the Q around are those who have been woke by V's actions and messages.  Waving the Q is akin to wearing the Fawkes mask.

  12. So the old Q stance was that there is this group of uber rich people in the world like Soros and Rothschilds who are intent on one world order.  Their plan is to let us kill each other off down to about one million (or maybe it was 100,000) people who would survive and basically be servants for the upper elite.  Taking care of things, growing, cooking, cleaning, etc.  I would assume breeding too, breeding children for these guys to prey upon.   That is what supposedly Q was fighting.  And Trump was the chosen one to fight these elite, who are often cited as at least part of the Illuminati.  

    Has anyone else seen anything like this or heard any other goals of Q?     

  13. So basically what Syverson is saying is that the adopted kid had mental health issues from the start.  But didn't specifically state what those issues were, like BPD, bipolar, depression, etc.  And after he grew up they basically cut the cord and let him go his own way, hence the "limited opportunities" statement.  

    Here's my translation of that:  He grows up conflicted about his sexuality in a household where image is VERY important.  They did everything they could to pray the gay away, but couldn't, so they shunned him, probably sent him away, out of the public view.  In so doing they and their homo-battle just made this guy even more insecure and pushed him deeper into his condition.  

    So is the senator ready to admit that being gay could actually be in the hard wiring?   Or is it still a decision?   If the latter, then why couldn't he help his own son reach the right decision?  

    But instead, like all good politicians, he diverts any responsibility or reality away from himself and his platform.   To issue any compassion for the victims would be an admission of guilt by extension.  It's like a party host who plies a guest with booze all night, then let's them drive off.  Can't own up to the problem they themselves created.  It's simply incredible that we keep electing people who won't own responsibility.  That we get shown that over and over with candidate after candidate and still vote for these clowns.  And yes, while it happens on both sides of the aisle, I tend to think this behavior of ducking responsibility is more R than D.
