The Frankish Reich

Just pointing out that you and your buddies here started and contributed to a thread mocking the very idea of the LGBTQ+ for Palestine march, presumably because the LGBTQ+ participants were foolishly ignoring what Hamas thinks about LGBTQ+ people. So presumably Greenwald's similar support for Gaza/criticism of Israel makes him equally foolish. Or self-hating. Call it what you will. It's kind of like a black man supporting Botha's apartheid regime.

A friendly reminder, Tommy Boy: I've got more from that thread if you're interested.

It was stupid at the time, and it's been proven even more stupid with the passage of time. But it also is kind of Trump's position, no?

According to many here, I'm a self-hating later middle aged white guy because I don't necessarily vote my pure economic interest. Meanwhile: Greenwald does need to think about how his life and family would be accepted in Palestine.

If you watch the video you'll see that he is essentially one of the "Gays for Gaza" that people ruthlessly mock here ...

Or I could watch Glenn himself.

I will wait for Tiffany Hookerlips to weigh in on Glenn Greenwald since I am not capable of independent thought.

Not unprecedented. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_criminal_trials#:~:text=The LaRouche criminal trials in,had no intention of repaying. Trump = LaRouche the Second.

But, but, but ... RAY EPPS!

Something I find endlessly fascinating: why do people post tweets like this on this forum? Who is "Tiffany?" Why quote her other than simply saying it yourself? After quoting Axelrod, she adds the incredibly insightful, "Democrats don't like people. They like money and power." Couldn't have just said that yourself? I look to see who she is: 52 year old Trump supporter with bad lip injections. Is this some kind of appeal to authority? The authority of Tiffany Hookerlips?

And yet the NFL gets more and more popular. You're really not gonna want to watch the kickoff returns now? It is already dead. I recall one last year: Sean Payton started his Broncos coaching career with a stupid onside kick that put his team in a hole, thinking he could repeat the true surprise Saints' Super Bowl onside kick. This is probably the next thing to be addressed: how to make the onside kick relevant again, giving the kicking team at least a reasonable chance of getting possession, or maybe instituting a whole different rule as a substitute. You beat me to it.

More Mosaic this time. So maybe we can offend Jews too?

Time for me to put in a plug for my favorite podcast ever: https://500songs.com/ A ridiculously ambitious project of one guy, Andrew Hickey. Even if you thought you knew the history or rock music front-to-back you'll learn things. For example, I never knew about his guy till I heard one of his paid bonus (1 buck a month!) episodes: Jackson C. Frank, from Buffalo, a survivor of the horrific Cheektowaga school fire (something else I never knew about even though it was not that long before my time).

"Mike Benz" (whoever the hell that is): good luck finding that DNC lawyer who's barred in Texas ...

https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgia-judge-rules-that-republican-brian-k-pritchard-voted-illegally/M4A27QQNQJDW7MTI66MRF5B4EQ/ I found an illegal voter! Trump will now need to "find" one more vote in Georgia than he previously demanded. What? Where does the Bible say "thou shalt not grab 'em by the kitten?"

From what I can tell, she is an Idaho state legislator. Was Idaho in the confederacy? So standing with that flag isn't the old "just expressing my heritage" thing that's always used as an excuse. It means one thing and one thing only: she's a racist.

https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/sports/raptors-jontay-porter-promoted-gambling-on-social-media-in-2021/ I have a feeling this story won't have a happy ending. Jontay Porter, marginal rotational player on a bad NBA team, suddenly has tons of money bet on the over/under on his points per game. Leaves two such games early - one for an aggravating an eye injury, another for illness. The under pays off big. My question (I'm a fan of his brother, Nuggets' Michael Porter Jr): why? You're still an NBA player with a huge minimum salary and even good money to be made in Europe, etc. The NY Post article says he's bragged about his day trading "successes" and other gambling wins. I think I'm seeing my answer ...

I see it being kicked on the standing issue. That's the one issue where you'll get some conservative justices (Gorsuch, Roberts) joining the liberals. It really is an astonishingly weak theory on that front: a woman may take the drug, experience complications that require her to go to an ER, and then be treated by a doctor who objects to performing anything relating to an abortion.

So who's getting that racist Twitter feed and then reposting here? Not me.

Not sure if anyone's pasted this link yet (paywalled, but, you know ...) https://theathletic.com/5366260/2024/03/26/nfl-hybrid-kickoff-rules/?campaign=5888993&source=dailyemail&userId=12924261 Best explanation I've seen. But I still don't have it down. Agreed. The standard kick returner - pure speed guy - won't be the best fit under the new rule. As the article notes, field vision, quickness, improvisation will be key. And as for kickers: the classic "big leg" guy who gets the highest touchback percentage will lose some value, although long field goals are still important. Some team will find a soccer player, Aussie rules football guy, someone else to be the "kickoff specialist" (maybe the kickoff/punter dual role will come back) who is adept at placing the ball in the optimal spot. I'm all for making the game more interesting. Goodbye to the post-TD bathroom/fridge run ...

I call you and I raise "cultural Marxists/Maoists" as example #1275.

You are not stupid. Don't pretend to misunderstand me. - Data/Statistics are not racist. If there's a website/twitter devoted to the demographics of crime, then by all means post the data. - Maintaining a website/twitter devoted to showing a victim of a crime next to the alleged perpetrator, but only when the victim is white and the perpetrator is black, is just a teensy bit racist. Not a subtle distinction. Not "woke." Just common sense.

Self-hating married gay man thinks we need more Republicans who think his marriage is an abomination on TV.

Thanks. That is impressive. I imagine the Alabama reproductive rights/IVF thing really juiced DEM turnout, so there is that anomaly. But from the other side: it's not like that issue is magically going away by November ...

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:5-8.
