I hate to bring up an Ohio State anecdote, and I’m sure there are other examples to express the same concept. But this is what I know from my experience. The story goes that Jim Tressel, when he was the QB coach at Syracuse in the early 80’s, called the same running play 10 times in a row, gaining yards each time. The head coach called him and asked if he had any other plays. Tressel responded, “Yes, and as soon as they stop this one, I’ll call one of them.”

The version you're looking for is Vince Young telling the defense what was coming.

Well, yeah, those are the two obvious choices.  Because the third choice: get him mental health treatment, up to and including involuntary commitment on the state nickel if necessary, would be SOCIALISM.

And better to elevate the option of "murder your own child" than give in to SOCIALISM!

The right is fucking psychopathic.  I cannot believe that we are here, but here we are.

Also, at least Scott Adams did accurately describe the future in the hellscape that he advocates for:

Quote

You have two options. Only two. No help is coming. Only death and suffering.

I appreciate the honesty.

I wonder if our Lieutenant Governor, Dannie Goeb/Dan Patrick, from Maryland, spent time in a state or private mental health institution?  Probably private since I honk it was in Houston.

I just don't understand this.  It should probably go in the climate thread more than anything, as it spans both parties (#bothsidez!), but the lack of respect is just jaw dropping.  Who thinks this is ok?
Remember the partial government shutdown when Trump refused to close National Parks but left them unstaffed?

People were literally shitting all over the place.

To answer your question, who thinks this is okay... Trump supporters. Trump supporters think this is okay.

RE: thread choice; I put it here since the "right" seemrd to be the target of the tweet author.

we know that no civilization like ours has ever been around on this planet before because of the lack of trash layer in the geological record

I guess this is the right thread for this? Interview with a former GOP consultant's new tell all type book: ‘It Was All Just a Show’ Confessions of a Republican Campaign Hit Man

That was actually a really good interview.  For example:

Quote

Kruse: Before we even get to that place where people had to actually make those decisions, you essentially described yourself, and many others like you, as basically drug dealers, and the base of the Republican Party as addicts. What’s the drug, and how were you pushing it?

Miller: Rage juice is the drug — hate of your perceived enemies and people that aren’t like you. I think that it is very similar to drug use, especially in the digital age. I talked a lot about like how I was very central in the conservative media ecosystem kind of feeding little doses of rage juice to my friends at various conservative media outlets. Any reader of this who has a family member or friend who has gotten hooked on conservative media will know what I’m talking about. You want the latest fix. Every time you open your computer on Facebook, you want to get mad at what those other guys are doing to you, you want to be outraged at how they’re trying to take something away from you that you want. You want to feel righteous about the fact that your evil fellow countrymen are doing something that goes against your worldview, your moral framework.

The incestuous relationship between Republican campaigns, right-wing media sites, Fox news, the emails and texts that get sent to people — there’s just no way to look at it as a news environment. This is not like, “Oh, we’re trying to provide people with news but just from a more conservative vantage point.” That’s the pitch, but that’s not what it is. It is a completely interconnected delivery device of rage juice. I wanted to kind of pull back the curtain for people on how that works, to also help explain why I felt complicit in it. It’s not just this one little item that I look back on and say, “Oh, I shouldn’t have sent that to IJ Review, this thing that is a little bigoted or whatever.” It’s not that. It’s that this whole culture was turning people crazy. And I was a central cog in it.

I'm not in the habit of giving money to Republicans, but the way he lays out his own responsibility in the place we are as a body politic makes me interested in how he figured it out and got out of it.

We actually need something like this, but I don't think it would have the effect now.

We could use Schoolhouse Rock back too. This presentation was pretty heavily biased toward the Europeans but the message was right.

The quality of that anarchist "A" is almost as bad as the attempts at drawing a peace symbol, but ending up with a Mercedes Benz logo instead, that girls from my high school would draw on their book covers back in the 80s.

Uh, you know that should go in the satirical tweets or funny images or whatever, right? I mean it would be cool if were real but...

Good call. You're, of course, correct. Technically. And that's the worst kind of correct
