  1. I was speaking with the friend of a friend a while back. He’s quite liberal, proudly so, and a Patriots fan. When we got around to this subject, I inquired about the carbon footprint of the NFL, its negative impact on the environment and his contribution to the climate crisis. Turns out it’s a guilty pleasure (as was being a huge proponent of capitalism in this case) of his. Some people like football. Some people like soap. Some people like both. You don’t need to favor a coal-powered water heater to be a part of the problem, Roundy.
  2. $10 billion dollars...sanctions lifted...expressing great sorrow at the death of an enemy... "When they have nothing else...". Great moments in absurd internet theater. Well done Tibsy!
  3. I'm glad to help. I often worry that you do not have access to current news on the commune you are staying at, it always seems you're five+ steps behind what is happening currently. As it stands, Trump has clarified his stance on Russia and the invasion into Ukraine. You obviously believe he is correct on that analysis, and that represents a change to his original position you felt was unreasonable. All that said, Biden and his inner circle are mourning the loss of men sworn to destroy not democrats and republicans, not liberals, independents or conservatives, but all Americans. Between that and the $10b they handed out to kickstart their terror campaigns, it's impossible to justify the stance here. Yet, you do.
  4. I don’t know what this means. The scale tips to a “wider war” if they don’t honor the dead? How does the work? More likely, maybe they are saddened by the loss of a comrade they invested $10b on just a couple months back. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/04/18/white-house-defends-10-billion-sanctions-waiver-to-iran-following-attack/ Wait, you’re alleging he’s partnered with Iran? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/16/us/politics/trump-iran-nuclear.html He’s also criticized Russia. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-condemns-russia-invasion-says-he-prays-ukrainian-people-2022-02-27/ Trump expressed empathy for Ukrainians and this time praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, calling him "brave" as he stays in Kyiv, the capital. "The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all," Trump said. Trump said that Putin took advantage of Biden's being "weak" to attack Ukraine. He also linked the invasion to the U.S. 2020 presidential election, a fixation of his, again falsely saying that fraud was to blame for Biden's victory. Tibsy’s Wider War Paradox applies here. It’s surely complicated in a “WTF does this even mean?!” way.
  5. It’s sounds an awful lot like the Biden WH is mourning this loss. Do you suppose they would honor Putin in a similar fashion were he to pass in a similar fashion? I’m guessing yes.
  6. This was just small talk before i asked: Can I count on you to give generously to the Go Fund Lehn campaign?
  7. Fact: I’ve never been in a helicopter and have always wanted to take a ride in one. I’ve considered a Go Fund Lehn account but part of me thinks it may come off as shallow. I meant the part about cheering because the guy(s) died. Did you think that to be in poor form?
  8. I am adding crash site scenes to the list of things I don’t know anything about. The list is long, though that may not surprise you. All I see is debris, what looks like scorched earth, which makes sense to me given a large object with metal components and fuel crashed into the earth. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if the investigation revealed something beyond pilot/mechanical error. Ty. I’m not following you here, and I speak Muppeze.
  9. I ask this out of genuine curiosity. What do you see, other than a crash site?
  10. Good Lord. You’re wandering around completely unaware of the history of one of your heroines, accuse me of gathering one sided information from “Fix News”, then fold like a cheap suit when confronted with information from Planned Parenthood? Then, you take it up a notch and reference conservatives? She’s your girl, Tibsy, and just because you support the processes she followed doesn’t mean she wasn’t a genocidal lunatic. I’m sure Mussolini made a good pasta fagioli, too, but you’re allowed took beyond that.
  11. I think her stance on eugenics is problematic at best, an indication of hard line racism at worst. Of course, she was a product of her time, experiences and the environment. Whether she was inherently evil with a desire to eliminate undesirables, or a misguided soul who viewed people through the lens of color I cannot say. What I don’t understand is why you see her as beyond reproach, and a heroine to the cause without warts. As for Fox News, perhaps they hacked the Planned Parenthood website and produced this article of disinformation. https://www.plannedparenthood.org/uploads/filer_public/cc/2e/cc2e84f2-126f-41a5-a24b-43e093c47b2c/210414-sanger-opposition-claims-p01.pdf Or, perhaps you’re all in on all things Sanger—top to bottom across the board. I wouldn’t think so, but you sure do seem warm for her form.
  12. We’ll add this to the list of things you don’t know. It goes right after “A complete and unabashed look at Margaret Sanger’s legacy.”.
  13. You have unknown civilians telling people someone is a hero, doubtful conflicts, gambling references, Robert Downey Jr movie quotes and a Butker jersey being worn to a Bills game. It’s just all too much, Frenkle. Too, too much.
  14. If they have it in writing, there's no reason for the AG refuse a lawful subpoena. Let's be fair--a transcribed recording doesn't provide a full accounting of what actually happened. Tone matters. Attitude matters. The recording may show evidence of evasiveness or deception. Plus, if information was omitted or incorrectly transcribed, who would know? Why is it ok for this AG to operate outside the law, just because he wants to?
  15. He was talking about unprecedented complaints about the DOJ and the work they do. I'm guessing here he was talking about AG Barr, the Mueller report, and the criticism Barr got for describing the political persecution of DJT?
  16. A veritable ***** of intolerance, with something for everyone!
  17. Are you using the word “worse” as commonly accepted in the English language, or as defined in LaRon’s Newfangled Dictionary of Words With Fluid Meanings? This will matter. It’s interesting because the parents, grandparents and maybe great-grandparents of many of today’s Biden supporters knew exactly who he was, and laughed him out of the race on multiple occasions.
  18. Joe..makes things up...more...than he lies. Joe doesn't...lie...he makes things up. Joe, therefore, is honest as the day is long, which he may say is 1 hour and 14 minutes long. While not necessarily true, it's not a lie, it's just something that isn't true stated as a fact. 🤣 Joe lies, L' Ron, and you know it's true.
  19. I’m just trying to keep my bingo card current. So far, I’ve got Frankish advocating for voter suppression, Andy1 concerned about uninformed voters but only in swing states, Fergie with always trust the Pew, and Tibsy in a presumably unrequited virtual but committed emotional relationship with a deep affection for Joe B. Just trying to keep it real.
  20. Biden interrupted Paul Ryan frequently and it was quite effective. Trump supersized the approach and clearly confused Biden the first time around. As for lies, that’s only a Trump thing debate-wise? Biden is a teller of truths? On the other hand, I do agree it will be a national embarrassment. Neither will provide any substantive answers, not that any debate reveals much one way or the other.
  21. Nothing oozes relevance more than dropping a movie quote 4 decades old. Rumor is he wanted to go with “I pity the fool!” but he kept saying “foot”.

  23. I answered your question, and encouraged you to seek out enlightenment. I'm like Leh-nerd Dali Lama.
  24. You asked a question, I answered it. That apparently caused you to lose track of the original question you asked, and how you actually are one of the people you seemed to be mocking. I apologize for shaking you out of your monkey tree.
