“Hendry...Hendry Hill is that you?”

Great question. I think the ultimate gift of the Trump presidency is clarity. Oh, and a reimagined judiciary.

Unnecessarily hurtful.

Bandwagon.....yes...and if time and energy permits I would turn the Paige.

I asked a girl out in high school and she initially said yes, but then told me she couldn’t go because she was having intermittent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia and couldn’t go. Are you telling me it’s actually a thing??! Those poor poor bunny rabbits.

Making the next question quite obvious.

Well if we are playing them without their best rb, why 🤬bother. To beat the best you have to beat the best.

None of these people look anything like me. This is clickbait. Btw— is it just me or is there a certain creepiness to many of the poses? I’m old fashioned and am all for it with the dopplechicks but the doppledudes look just..creepy. Stand side by side, pose, cool. But heads tilted against each other like a wedding photo?

Dr. Riccadeli, Dr. Semankowicz, Dr. Sullivan, Dr. Patel, Dr. Spikowski...yes, yes I would. Dr. Igor Gregyrovich...I’m sorry, too damn soon for me.

I remember Mike Tyson pinching Evander Holyfield’s ear nerve. It happens.

Well good news for Skip--Baker's dance card is free all next weekend.

When you got heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, di-ah-rhee-UHH, it’s been said Pepto is the go-to. Hang in there!!

This was a compelling read to be sure. It read like a really good screen play. "Hunkered down." "Deeply wounded.". Mysterious aides working close enough to touch him as he watches tv, concerned enough to speak to the media, not concerned enough to resign, though oddly not concerned at all that they would be easily identifiable as they were in the room as he was 'angry and isolated'. Interestingly, the authors of this short story briefly mentioned the unlikelihood of a senate impeachment in the currently R lead senate, which seems really at odds with the mysterious and unnamed sources who suggested Cocaine Mitch was going to support the impeachment and push forward after the house ran their 45 minute investigation. Of course, like so many mysterious and highly placed sources, it was complete bullsh&t. I know, I know. You've seen enough of his public persona to convince you there are highly placed aides who bring DJT coffee that reveal his loss of his 'cherished Twitter megaphone". It makes all the sense in the world and the imagery clicks with the right side of your brain where emotions like rage and disgust reside. It works because you let it. It's hard to push back--the imagery of a confused Biden wandering around the White House in soiled pajamas groping the housekeeper in full David Coppa-feel mode works as well, or will when it starts to come out in a few months. You should try though. It's the perfect time to do it--DJT will be gone, and while the multiple unnamed source game will continue--after all, it worked--the most he'll be able to do is lob shots at Biden and Harris as the opposition leader. I still hold out hope that he releases or speaks about some of the secrets of admins past, particularly about Biden. That would be cool, and would bypasss the whole 'someone said someone saw that someone heard' garbage that makes up 'reporting'.

We’ve been over many of these subjects before, and if this was a “Look at me, I’m Transplant Bills Fan Dammit!” thread, you would be empowered to share your fascinating thoughts on Obama laying up for DJT, foot fetish management, the passing of the SC torch from RBG to ACB and the like. This is not that, this is a Common Ground thread. Out of respect for the original intent @Tenhigh and the topic, I’ll push forward and express that while I found this note to be presumptuous and confrontational, I appreciate you generally. By the way—this is type of post I was referring to when we discussed you feigning innocence when complaining about treatment on the other board. It reminds me a bit of the villain in professional wrestling, ripping an eye gouge when the ref is distracted and playing to the crowd as the victim of scurrilous allegations thereafter. Oh, and speaking of that sort of theater, God Bless Dominic Denucci who turns 89 on 1/23! In a sign of times long gone, his nemesis Waldo Von Erich infamously had this exchange at some point in the early 1970s. It likely happened after he took a shiv from his tights and opened a cut over our hero’s eye and win the match: WVE: Vaht do you get when you cross an Eetalyan wit an ape? Announcer: I don’t know. WVE: You get a ruhtarted ape! Watching the grainy footage on a black and white television, in a small town near 🦬, with my brothers around it simply compelled us to scrap even more than usual. My mother was constantly trying to forbid us from watching that stuff because mayhem usually ensued, but we snuck it in when we could. Have a great day. PS: Shame on you @Bob in Mich! Thumbs up on the incendiary post sent by Tranpsy?!! I'm enraged---please send me your home address so I can add and then immediately remove you from my Skin-erd Holiday Newsletter! You sir shall not hear that the youngest of my brood made Dean's List yet again. You sir shall not hear that we do not have grandbabies yet but here's hoping the New Year blesses us as such! You sir shall not know that my waistline has expanded while my hairline recedes! You sir shall not see my family picture, each of us angling like Rob Redford in "A River Runs Through It" to show our best side (I have none, but like the Little Engine That Could, I keep pushing forward anyway!). And you sir shall be the one that loses out---in spite of my limited aesthetic contribution and cantankerous personality, my wife and children are lovely!

Hats off? Hats. Heads. Head hunting. Bountygate. Greg Williams. See, on the surface, what sounds like a young, gifted professional athlete being respectful and effusive with his praise of another athlete often leads directly back to Greg Williams. I'm actually embarrassed I have to explain it to you people.

Hats off?? Wtf does that even mean!??!!! This is bulletin board material if I’ve ever seen it.

First, what you think is credible may not reach be credible to me in the least. I question everything, but certainly question reports that come less than 10 days after something as politically volatile as an assault on the Capitol. There are many, many cases where credible sources turn out to not be credible at all. There is also a massive push for political gain that has little to do with the best interest and unity of the country. To answer your question, if members of congress assisted in the planning and/or execution of the assault, they should be investigated and charged with the crime commensurate with their action. The question I asked the other poster involved me trying to understand his perspective that seemed to imply people should be treated similar to the outcome for McVeigh. When I asked 'which people' he seemed to imply should be executed, I guess I was thinking of different categories of crime or action. In the extreme, while I'm not a proponent of the death penalty, I can understand the individuals responsible for the death of the law enforcement officer being charged as such, but on the other side I'm not so sure the driver of a bus or protestor who didn't enter the Capitol should be charged with anything. Finally, on some level, I understand his outrage and desire for street justice. I felt that way many, many times during the Russia investigation and the attempt to unseat DJT then. I was just trying to understand where he was coming from.

Is this directed at anyone in particular?

In fairness though, they only backed into that record by winning those games. Had they not won some they would have more losses. I’m not even going to argue about it. Huh. That sure looks different than it sounds in my head.

Free speech would be my guess.

It'll be interesting to see that go through the court system, and maybe hear some of the tasty revelations about ***** presidents get away with before retreating to a life of luxury in Martha's Vineyard, Chappaqua, or Texas. You have to wonder about all the things said, done, and ordered by a prez that don't result in this sort of thing. Imagine--Mary Cheney, daughter of the War-for-Oil strongman Dick Cheney, supports impeachment without so much of a hint of irony, nor a question about her family ties. Carrying water for the dems, Trump making remarks inspires her to jump on board, yet her old man sending American soldiers to die by the thousands in search of profits doesn't even register on the dem naughty list. Totally cool, no worries, no pension issues, just business as usual.

Which people?

Timothy McVeigh was executed. It less of a slap on the wrist, more of toxic cocktail that caused his bodily functions to cease. You probably knew this at one time? Common ground here, though there are those who think that McVeigh's execution was an afront to humanity and civility.

Not everyone wants to find common ground, Ten. We can all agree on that as well.

We’re probably on opposite sides here, but criss cross IS confusing. He’s either not or not not supporting impeachment. Rest assured we’ll both likely lose.
