  1. Same here. Maybe it's because we had note just the Sabres but the Braves too to distract us a bit, or maybe it's because Buffalo was a little less provincial back in the day? I was back in WNY early this summer and I have to admit that level of Bills devotion just seemed a little extreme for a dead time in the football calendar ...
  2. Gotta admit that was sneaky good
  3. Self-hating foot fetishist gets off on cankles! Here's one from the reliable Alt-Right media: https://freebeacon.com/media/glenn-greenwald-worships-feet-of-barely-legal-nazi-twink/
  4. That Melania letter is underrated. I really think she struck a chord in Putin's ten-sizes-too-small heart. Someday we'll look back at that as the turning point. Imagine if Barack Obama had had Sasha and Malia write Putin a Christmas card. Crimea would still be free Ukraine. But that's where Trump is a master negotiator and Obama, Biden, Bush, hell, even JFK were rank amateurs. Did any of them ever sell steaks?
  5. What an insane/inane talking point. Yes, Zelensky could surrender. Isn't the whole point of this - including Europe's/the USA's involvement to avoid surrender to aggressive dictators? Aren't we concerned about what Putin may do next? About where this leaves Taiwan?
  6. It was funny at the time, because it was a well-scripted parody. You and the Babylon Bee should use that as a learning experience. by the way, I changed my mind: it'll be Vance-Trump, and they'll be coy about the whole Vance Resigns thing. Then when Vance resigns Trump will appoint Eric as his veep. The sycophant is never respected, always double-crossed.
  7. It's not clever, because this is exactly the scenario Trump has contemplated out loud. It is funny because JD Vance - the ultimate suck-up - would kind of be left twisting in the wind if this comes to pass. And yes, Trump's not looking so hale and hearty these days ...
  8. Vance-Trump, baby! It's on. You can only be elected president twice, but you can be elected vice president and then the president can resign and the stand-in can ascend to the throne. And then the stand-in can appoint Laura Loomer as his new veep. JD will just have to wait his turn, watch those DJT DVT ultrasounds, and hope the timing somehow works out.
  9. Glad to see the MAGAs are still running an anti-Hillary campaign strategy.
  10. Bingo! MAGA: DEI is an abomination. If minority kids can't compete in the fields the 21st century economy values, well, too bad. I guess they just have to change or adapt to the times. But if white boys are failing or lacking interest in those same fields (say, health care-related "women's jobs"), well, that's a crisis. We need to create manufacturing jobs for them so they'll feel valued; who cares whether that would be economically inefficient. They have to feel valued! Don't make them change or adapt to the times. It's their feelings, dammit! Republicans used to call this "the soft bigotry of low expectations." Those were different times.
  11. Good thing this has nothing to do with her sneaking Corey Lewandwski in her back door.
  12. I tried to pull up the box score on ESPN and clicked on last year's game. Other than Josh Allen throwing 4 passes, it was basically the same preseason crap performance. Thankfully neither one means anything, except for the Bears who showed that they now (finally) have a competent HC.
  13. Thanks for watching so I don't have to! This one must have taken all of your willpower and half of you liquor cabinet to get through.
  14. What you say is correct in a perfect world, but that world was not the Biden World and certainly isn't Trump World. I think reparations are off the table. It simply won't happen. It's ridiculous that Trump has effectively taken NATO membership off the table in negotiations. It seems the thinking is something short of accession to NATO (with it's security guarantees) and something more like a European military presence. No one knows exactly what the sentiment of the Ukrainian populace is today, but it seems like there's a strong sentiment toward some significant territorial concessions as long as there is reasonable assurance that Putin will declare victory and leave them alone, at least as far as invasion/bombing goes ... I would expect him to keep meddling on the political/covert front, because the KGB is gonna KGB.
  15. Could be fun given that he managed to make a fool out of himself when given the easiest possible setup pregame.
  16. So glad I decided to DVR this one. Where’s the delete key?
  17. As someone who has actually prosecuted illegal voter cases, I can say no, I never denied that it happens. Yes, including registered Republicans. Has it swayed any statewide election? Very unlikely.
  18. Sorry, Thrilla, you blew the punch line. It's supposed to be "and now they have to go out and buy reissued vinyl again for $36.99 a pop."
  19. Hey, just kidding. I like the hyperlocal stuff!
  20. Well, yes, that's the old Michael Moore thing, but in his case he used Canada. So yes, there's something weird about the USA. But I am amazed at how many of our mass or random shooters have had documented mental health issues (often serious) and there is no real discussion of how you keep guns away from them. As for the second point: yes, a lot of this is gang culture. But a lot of it is also drug culture, and I don't mean criminal gangs involved with drug distribution. I mean bottom of the food chain drug users involved in the kind of petty crime that destroys everything good about our cities. The homeless guy riding a stolen bike while dragging another stolen bike alongside him. The car break-ins. The garage break-ins. The rampant shoplifting that makes our drugstores plexiglassed dioramas of teeth whitening strips (h/t Bill Maher). The encampments full of stolen crap the druggies hope they can extract some scrap metal from. The "firefighters" who spend most of their time responding to a collapsed human blocking a sidewalk or a store entrance. I live in a nice urban neighborhood where there is almost no violent crime. But you always need to be on the lookout for the petty crime. Heaven forbid I forget to press "close" on the garage door which auto-closes in 5 minutes, or that I leave a Target bag visible inside my locked car.
  21. Ahh, preseason. We love you and we hate you for making us wait.
  22. Maybe RFK Jr made himself afraid of needles. You know, heroin needles.
  23. Are you suggesting Tre White is Black and some guy named Steve is White?
  24. Key take-aways: 1. Allen sounds relaxed. 2. Kincaid looks skinny. 3. Not sure if it was Dawkins, but if it was he looks fat.
