  1. Past hour
  2. Best wishes to the Kelly family.
  3. The All Bulge Team has to wear white pants and there has to be rain in the forecast.
  4. Sometimes older people mellow out. I hope his grand kid is ok
  5. We found the guy who is casting the first stone! Congrats!
  6. To paraphrase someone else (I forget who), the fact that being ######ed is a mitigating factor rather than an aggravating factor when it comes to criminality is prima facie evidence that our legal philosophy is a failure. I call this sort of nonsense "institutionalized pathological empathy." The idea that being ######ed means you can't be evil when, in fact, the venn diagram overlap is actually quite large (the smartest groups tend to be less violent, the dumbest ones tend to be more violent), is one of the more potently sadistic products of the egalitarian (read: leftist) worldview. Downstream of that is the idea that we can import infinity people that look like this guy and expect them to contribute positively to our nation. In reality, they're approximately just as ######ed and evil as he is. And then when they commit similar crimes, they'll be too ######ed to face any actual consequences. Meanwhile you, a person whose ancestors helped make America into a not evil and not ######ed place, are subject to further devaluing of your money and property and increasingly invasive laws regarding how you can protect yourself and your family against the evil and ######ed people that the traitors occupying your government import by the millions every year. Welcome to America in the age of anarcho-tyranny.
  7. From one of the songs comments: "Every cell you shake Every bail you stake Every claim you make Every plea you fake They’ll be denyin' you..."
  8. Dick comment of the year candidate
  9. That’s rough. I can’t imagine and hope to never have to deal with anything like that. As most here know, Jim Kelly’s son, Hunter, died of Krabbe Disease, which is inherited. I hope that this is not that or any other untreatable illness and that the child is fully healthy soon.
  10. I fell like this is an easy answer - over. I mean AJ has provided 25% of that total the last couple of years as a part time rotational guy. I think we will easily see this group pass the over.
  11. In case you didn't see it, I uploaded that pic from my IG about mid way on page 3 of this thread ha
  12. Going a little off the board for the astrophysicist and science commentator (you're welcome), poker champion and self-described Iron Maiden, Liv Boeree:
  13. What else did elmo say lol?
  14. Work WAY to hard to piss my money away on chance to stoke my ego😉
  15. He sat down and thought long and hard about that post. Took him 45 mins, give him the credit he deserves!
  16. OH MY GOD. Your post length…we are the Spider-Man meme, except my Spider-Man is wearing a blue “Hot Girls for Zohran” t-shirt! I’ll try to address as much as I can: 1. Real world examples: You need to specify the progressive legislation if you want to assign blame. Whenever you vaguely point to the failings of dark blue cities, you’re actually attributing a lot of problems to a lot of different factors and politicians that have little to do with progressivism. Also, keep in mind that cost of living data is meaningless without the associated wage data for that geographic area. I’m definitely not arguing that progressive policies always turn out to be good, but most are worthwhile attempts to address blatant market failures like oligopolies (example: corporate housing ownership) and negative externalities (example: environmental pollution). 2. Bodega viability: It’s perfectly reasonable to be concerned that public grocery stores would economically endanger bodegas. I’ll remind everyone, though, that “food deserts” are a thing because many types of food products are otherwise simply unavailable to the consumers and, therefore, are not even in competition with what the bodega businesses are offering. Furthermore, Zohran is well aware of the bodega food products that would be in direct competition with the public grocery stores. This is a big reason why he's proposing to trim many of the city’s red tape regulations that hinder small businesses like bodegas, which already operate at super-slim profit margins. Finally, I want to remind everyone that nutritious and affordable food is a human right. The primary objective of capitalism should be to serve society and not capitalists. 3. COVID response: To clarify, actual progressives were unanimous in their condemnation of the stimulus packages that heavily favored large corporations and that led to further upward transfers of wealth. I think most progressives favored the lockdown policies of Western and Northern Europe. In all honesty, I’m completely fatigued with pandemic politics. Lockdowns too late? Too long? Stimulus checks too much? Too little? Whatever. Mistakes were made, and I still don’t see why progressives are to be uniquely blamed for policies that liberals and centrists also supported. The right-wing arguments are mostly incoherent and amount to little more than whining that we had a pandemic and had to do things that weren’t fun. 4. Illegal immigration: This turns out to be a highly nuanced topic and one that I don’t think any American political faction handles well. On the economic perspective, there is a balance between the demand-side boost to economic growth versus the societal drain on health, education, and transportation services. Illegal immigrants fulfill valuable roles in some occupations (example: agriculture industry) and suppress domestic labor force wages in others (example: construction). The human rights perspective of the debate is more cut and dried to a progressive. Undocumented workers are committing civil offenses, not criminal ones. Paths to citizenship should be made easier, while deportation procedures should be carried out humanely and with many of our Constitutionally protected rights considered universal (free speech, due process, no cruel/unusual punishment, etc.). Obtainment of documented worker visas should be encouraged simply because it helps prevent labor exploitation, and all forms of labor exploitation (domestic or international) are unethical. 5. Paid family and medical leave: The bottom line is that capitalists need to respect the regulations society has collectively deemed necessary for protecting human rights. If capitalists feel certain laws are unreasonable and overly punitive to business operations, then they need to present their cases to the public and change policy by way of our system of democracy. As always, I recommend comparing and contrasting international policies when formulating opinions. 6. Ambitious far-left ideas: The main reason why I’m to the political right of my market socialist comrades is because I generally don’t think bottom-up organizational structures can operate quite as optimally as top-down private ones currently do. For the time being, I’m fine with implementing progressive taxation policies (as supported by data-driven macroeconomics) to restore the stolen wealth from workers that socialism claims to obviate. For the time being, you may be surprised to know that Zohran’s rather anodyne platform is already considered mainstream and centrist at the national level (latest source: 6/26-6/30 Yahoo/YouGov survey of 1,597 American adults). The “socialism” label still scares people, but individual social democratic policies no longer do. This is the argument I believe Zohran will ultimately use to persuade Hochul and the neoliberals in Albany. << spills coffee, collapses to the floor from typing >>
  17. Let me break it down for you with facts and logic, which I know are in short supply in MAGA circles: Every time Biden or a Democrat criticizes Trump, your immediate response is “fake news” or “lawfare.” You’ve trained yourself to reject anything that doesn’t fit the cult script. You complain Democrats didn't weaponize Epstein against Trump - but you wouldn't have believed it anyway. You didn’t believe Trump incited a riot. You didn’t believe he paid hush money to a porn star. You didn’t believe the 2020 election was legit. You don't believe Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Why would you believe anything about Epstein? Let’s talk about who actually wanted the Epstein docs released. Democrats have been calling for full transparency for years. Not one major Dem said “protect Bill Clinton.” In fact, under Biden, Epstein-related documents were unsealed. Bill Clinton’s name was in them. Biden could’ve stopped that release but didn’t. Jeffrey Epstein: documents linking associates to sex offender unsealed Epstein died in 2019 during Trump's first term. If this supposed "client list" was the silver bullet, why didn’t Trump release it when he had full control of the DOJ, the FBI, and the White House? Why not release it before the 2020 election? Or when he still had Congress? Trump is the one who promised to release the Epstein list and never did. Not Biden Not Kamala TRUMP And now that Trump is back in power? He’s still not releasing it. He’s letting people like Pam Bondi spin already-unsealed court documents to feed your outrage addiction without giving you any actual truth. Ask yourself this: if Democrats really feared this list, why are they the ones demanding it be public? Demand a vote in Congress to release every sealed Epstein document. Let’s see who objects. Let’s see which party protects predators. Spoiler: it won’t be Democrats.
  18. I'm thinking, likely, I mean throwing that ***** out there in a thread about his newborn grandson, yeah, a real saint...
  19. Outstanding post. Well thought out, pithy, salient. More please. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻🤦🏻‍♂️
  20. Man - my heart breaks for what Jim and his family have all endured over the years, and to still see them having to go through more things like this is tough, especially now being a parent myself with 2 little ones. I had a scare with my youngest around 5 months that turned out to be nothing, but it was the longest 24 hours of my life in that hospital before we got the news that my son was just too strong and caused himself to faint while throwing up the first time from pushing it out so hard and he was perfectly fine. I remember thinking how lucky we are but at the same time it was heart wrenching thinking about other parents who have been in that situation and didn't get the best news of "its nothing" and what it must be like to go through that. Before I had kids I never realized just how much you think about and worry about as a parent every day, and that is when nothing is wrong. To have to go through serious things with your kids, grandkids, etc is just something I can't even imagine. So my heart, prayers, and love go out the Kelly family and pray for a full and speedy recovery.
  21. You are in a room that has three switches and a closed door: You are in a room that has three switches and a closed door. The switches control three light bulbs on the other side of the door. Once you open the door, you may never touch the switches again. How can you definitively tell which switch is connected to each of the light bulbs?
  22. Thanks, I am still taken back how much love and reactions the story got and how much people enjoyed it. Still surprised how many took the time to read it, and love all the other stories others shared throughout the thread too.
  23. Thats is LIB- TARDS that are always lying its funny that LIB -TARDS are still here on a football page.
