  1. Past hour
  2. I’m sorry I triggered ye-who-shan't-be-named about getting booted from billsfans.com. Looks to be 20+ binge posts.
  3. Finally a thread about how bad Trump is! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
  4. America's golden age - starts NOW, right @Big Blitz?
  5. American greatness, right @Big Blitz So glad they're going after all those Iranian sleeper cells.
  6. Deplorable in action. Disgusting in tone. Dishonorable to the core. Always deflecting, never accountable. Trump is inciting violence against gays, the media, and anyone not straight and white. This is not acceptable. Guy should resign in shame.
  7. completely agree. Amputate my arm for the wealth he amassed in his career. Not to mention the glory.
  8. Aw, sorry - maybe billsfans.com can help you process that emotional damage.
  9. It's just BS. It's just rhetoric used by the politicians that are funded by Big Oil to get oil friendly policies. I mean if energy independence was a true goal then China wouldn't be using our technological discovery--solar power--to build a profitable manufacturing sector off of. Reagan, another oil politician, could have seized on that technology, as Carter rightfully tried doing, to make the United States the leader in the technology we created. China thanks these oil politicians
  10. Whose opinions I would trust, you ask? Select IAEA representatives plus Congressional members of national security and intelligence committees (of all political stripes: left and right, populist and establishment). We should be following Constitution-esque protocols when dealing with imminent nuclear threats. Would you have been comfortable with a senile Joe Biden whimsically and unilaterally bombing, say, Canada over unsubstantiated rumors of imminent nuclear annihilation? Why am I still living here in the United States, you ask?? LOL…um, family and friends, career and culture, the melting pot ethos, a lifetime of cherished memories, the vast natural geographic beauty, representative democracy, the Bill of Rights, the Constitutional separation of powers, etc… What’s wrong with me using the political process to change public policy? Didn’t you try to do the same last November? You are perfectly free to consider yourself an arbiter of what’s “American” and what’s not. Go ahead and declare imperialism and trickle-down economics “American,” while declaring universal health care and nationalized land/natural resources “un-American.” Just remember that at previous points in American history, ideas like slavery and Jim Crow and miscegenation and Gilded Age capitalism and legalized misogyny and the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans were considered sclerotic American values. Yes, your post is a bit opaque to me, but I THINK I’m following: you’re telling me that there are clear standards for defining “imminent” nuclear emergencies like this one, and that you personally know of evidence existing that shows Iran crossed this “imminence” threshold? I’m honestly in no position to tell you that you are incorrect. I’m a civilian biomed device engineer who took one college elective course in intro nuclear science/engineering (random shout-out to the Lamarsh textbook…I still have it in my bookshelf!). All I can tell you, anecdotally, is that my Dad is a solid-state materials physicist and a mild-mannered political centrist. His technical nuclear background is a lot better than mine, and he has DARPA funding under his belt. We talked about this exact topic for a few minutes last night, and he seems to think that the technological likelihood of Iran being able to strike Israel (let alone the U.S.) with nuclear weapons this calendar year is absurd. I feel like we’re going around in tautological circles at this point? Absent new nuclear intelligence information that is made publicly available, let’s agree to disagree. I envisage scenarios in which we’re aligned with what the proper course of action should have been. P.S. My formal business wardrobe ratio of blazer dresses to CHIC pantsuits is officially 4.5. FOUR POINT FIVE. The implication that I might ever wear a frumpy Hillary Clinton warmonger pantsuit was completely out of line. You’re out of your element, Leh-ny, and how dare you.
  11. The Condo! Nicknamed as such because he was even bigger than 'House' Ballard. IIRC, we played a very early overseas game - in Germany maybe? And at some pre-game PR event, the locals requested not the biggest stars, but the biggest players. We sent House and Condo.
