Certain types of "theft" were entirely legal -- and socially acceptable to most Americans, too -- for the first 246 years of the country's existence as a collection of British colonies and as an independent republic. What else but "theft" (and kidnapping as well) can any rational person call the act of purchasing African captives from slave traders in Africa and bringing them to the Americas where they -- and their descendants -- were sold as chattels, ie property not as people. Chattel slavery was enshrined in the US Constitution from the very beginning when enslaved African Americans were counted as 3/5 of a person for determining Congressional representation. Chattel slavery only ended in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment, although in parts of the South, African Americans were kept in virtual slavery for nearly another century. Then there was the wholesale dispossession of indigenous Americans of virtually all their lands by the end of the 19th century ... theft on a massive scale that virtually all European Americans always considered a great thing. Theft of resources or territory in the name of community "good" has always been a part of human culture, be it the ancient Jews conquering Canaan or the Romans "civilizing" Britain or the Vikings plundering northern France. Yikes.

It’s going to be quite a day tomorrow. From coast to coast.

I will say, before creating content myself, when I saw creators whining and complaining about clicks and likes I was far less sympathetic. “Boo hoo, get a job…” was my usual *roll eyes* response, but being on this end of it, I get it! Especially if a ton of work went into the content. My focus is more about my beats catching someone’s ear (who’s in a position to do something with them) than it is about profiting off YouTube. But we’re all at the mercy of the YouTube algorithm because it has to help by showing the content to folks who are browsing. Shout out to those who watched and gave a like.

St. Augustine is the South Central for wealthy retired white folk, I hear. That other vehicle may well have been the Tommy Bahama crew and had you pegged for Versace all day long. Next thing you know, sh-t goes sideways and there’s botox and high end hair extensions everywhere.

absolutely a classic rap album. Here is about were my knowledge ends though lol my son and his friends used to call ganja Le Chronique LOL

Magas buy trucks not Escalades. Is this another nazi recruiting poster story? lol

Tom Sestak should be near the top.

Of course they do. Usually, those projections are based on past performance at the time of signing. Not future performance that is completely unknowable at the time of signing. So saying Darnell Mooney got paid by the Falcons because he had a 1000 yard season with the Falcons is completely nonsensical.

Almost like spoken word. I guess the rap genre was destined to emerge at some point. It wasn’t B’s and ho’s when it began. It was about the struggle and life. Gangsta rap of the early 90s is what shaped it into what we know today. The Chronic is a classic album, right around that era.

I like a few rap artists. I do not like explicit violent lyrics or lyrics that advocate violence. I don't like B word HO rap either. It must have some redeeming value. Is that the antithesis of rap from when it began until now? I'm really not a huge fan but My son had a Dr DRE album in his room that he loved. so I was exposed to it early. A foundational rap record. And a few artists I like but not many I'll post a picture of that album I am west coast rap as my preference. Dr Dre the chronic

Get the plate number and call the cops and tell them the occupants where shouting insults and waving pistols out the windows.

Film all the scenes with Yogurt (Mel Brooks) first.

Yep, that’s the one!

You don’t think player performance projections for the coming season(s) is the biggest driver of their value? I sure do.

I take it more as posturing for further negotiations. At which point Khomeini is not going agree to any of it. Not to the extent that Netanyahu is satisfied. Even if they agreed to something, Netanyahu won’t be satisfied until the supreme leader is dead. Which you can’t really blame him for. I knock Trump a lot but don’t think this is an unreasonable critique. Strength is not telling somebody you’re going to kick their ass. Strength is not saying anything and if forced to do so, kicking their ass. I don’t like the super liberals either and really don’t know how they seem to control the party at this point. But I’m the opposite, I dislike Trump more than them. But understand the take either way.

meh. Both are frustrating. I’m not loving a debate between whether it was better to watch Phillip Rivers or Donovan Mcnabb? Just spitballing two good QBs without rings from 20 years ago I think I’d be ok tanking a few seasons in exchange for an appearance. 12-5 and Super Bowl run followed by 5-12 or two 11-6 seasons losing in the divisional? I think probably give me the first

Trump is a 1st class BS artist. Just listening to his rhetoric I conclude he doesn't have a complete understanding of the facts and figures. But the democrats are suffering from some mental defect. They equate anarchy to democracy and look at anyone working to maintain a civil society as an authoritarian. They act like spoiled children with parents that spent a life not disiplining their child. What it comes down to for me is I dislike Trump less than I dislike the liberal left.

shame on me for not remembering this band sooner. these are some badass rocker chicks. Pound those drums gurl OMG I love this cover. Now I won't sleep tonight 🙂 so Good BLAM HAIM oh well fleetwood Mac cover

In this case, the "or else" is Israel eliminating more of their nuke facilities.

His post is basically “here are the things the commies and evil people of the world do and think.” LAMP

I think they let Tre' run with the 1s out of respect and to let him see for himself that he's not a 1 anymore.

Take your pick. Tarrifs, war, domestic policy. He doesn’t like to look weak. That much is clear and this constant “or else” tone which seems to amount to nothing will eventually limit his options. It’s inevitable.

I am surprised, given the love of Doug Flutie in Bills Mafia, that he is not on anybody's list. Don't get me wrong, I do not think he deserves to be there, but I thought someone would suggest he should be there.

Should college and/or NFL adopt UFL level of officiating transparency? https://awfulannouncing.com/ufl/tom-luginbill-officiating-reviews-college-football.html

As if that’s an unrealistic scenario. Never seen that? What would you doo if that car went out of its way to hit you and your party?
