So like an Amber Heard but with better aim and more immediate. Nice. I had not heard about that one.

Well I had a bowl clogging evacuation, but I don't know how he could have predicted that unless he knew I went to Panda express last night after eating a large bowl of Irish stew during the Marquette game last night.

I am unfamiliar with the Vince McMahon Steamer, is it more foul than say a Chris Christie mudpie or a Donald Trump dump? i bet Joey Chestnuts has done some damage in his day.

Interesting that he had an Isreal flag to wave. My household does not have an Isreal flag. i am unaware of any that do.

I would have respected it had a stream of steaming yellow liquid rained down on the crowd from on high while he chanted, "Pissants, pissants here's your drink, freshly shot out of my dink".

We do meddle. I would agree that we should hacve a less ubiquitous presence around the globe than we do. It will happen with greater frequency if our reprisals are not so impactful as to unequivocally teach the lessen that you do not attack us for if hyoun do you will cease being a viable entity. We can be both magnanimous and brutal depending on need and circumstance. magnaminity in the face of repeated humiliations only invites more, it is weakness personified and you don't project weakness in the jungle.

genital mutilation and subsequent crude mockery of nature surgery

The article says the head was in a cooking pot. Was it cooking or was he just looking for a water tight/ blood tight recepticle?

I have never heard of Mohn's Militia. I have heard of Moen Fawcets and showerheads.

The world takes advantage of the fact that we have damn few pragmatists left among us. They know we will not make hard pragmatic choices on the border, on defense, on trade security and protection of intellectual property. The world shiits on us and a nation of tansgendered furries with bleeding hearts wonders why they don't love us and continues to believe that if we just continue to turn the other cheek they will learn to love us. I've got news for you, we are not turning the other cheek we are spreading our butt cheeks with predictable results.

Fights where each side uses exactly equal force go on indefinitely. There is no winner, no resolution. There is ongoing damages extending into an infinite future. Fights where there is an overwhelming, disproportionate response are over immediately, saving countless lives in the long run. Clarity of intent and ability actually benefits the side who gets their ass kicked as they don't mistake matters in the future. I say give the Iranians the gift of clarity. They will never see things from our point of view no matter how forebearing we are, but they will see things from a pragmatic point of view when we etch one into their collective societal imaginations.

Nope. The Deacon Jones move was outlawed more than a decade before that. That rule cahnge occured in 1977.

At the 1:08 mark. Reggie is going to get a Super Bowl sack here. To me the amazing part of the video is to look at the right of the frame and realize that three linemen are working against Gilbert Brown and he is driving all three back creating the sack for Reggie. #40: Reggie White Super Bowl XXXI Highlights | Top 50 Super Bowl Performances (youtube.com)

This thread made me wonder whether being nominated is itself a great honor. I wondered whether the process was arduous. Turns out there are thousands of folks qualified to make nominations and little else, other than submitting the name is required. It seems to me a nomination means very little. Over 300 folks were nominated this year. Qualified nominators A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is only considered valid if submitted by a person who meets certain criteria. According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories, a personal application for an award will not be considered: Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague Members of l’Institut de Droit International Members of the International Board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February) Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee Unless otherwise stated the term ‘members’ shall be understood as current (sitting) members.

Given the apparent motivation was political I find it strange he plead guilty rather than having a trial where he could get more attention, perhaps, for his views.

A River Runs Through It

I put little stock in having an airport or an aircraft carrier named for a politician.

With all of that weight on one should probably also wear a personal flotation device in case they fall in the water or the river starts rising unxpectedly. There is no way to swim with all thnat weight.

I put little stock in such honors.

Broke the law, prosecuted, consequences given. Seems right.

The Trump dump.

That will present the Chiefs with a substantial challenge. Its not Mahomes or Kelce or Jones or Pachecko, but he has been a substantial piece.

We have waited 90 years for medieval people to join the modern age. Benevelently we developed their resources and then allowed them to control what they themselves could never have developed. Rather that using extraordianry wealth to raise up thier own people and the world as a whole they, like children, decided to drive solid gold Rolls Royces and to make it snow in the desert. They have proven to be chimps with guns. They are not joining this age of man, they are reverting. Time to say to hell with the carrot, time to show them the stick. Let them know the size of that stick is beyond their imaginings.

Yet you are a defeatist.

Where have I seen this before? Oh, that's right, in your response to why we will never get illegals under control, the problem is just too big, we will never catch them all or even make a dent. Sad. I wonder if you can put your finger on the date when Americans stopped tackling big challenges? WWI, the Panama Canal, WWII, the space race? When was it we turned from a can do nation to a bunch of defeatists? I suggest it was a process. We became concerned with whether those who will never like us, liked us. We stopped doing what was necessary and started acting to be viewed as moral in the eyes of the immmoral. You like this because it is all about virtue signaling rather than getting things done. Robert Borks book Slouching Towards Gommorah was a bit of a mess, but the basic premise summed up in the title sums you up nicely.
