  1. Can't win if you don't play.
  2. Yeah bro all those murders that go without the enforcement of law in rural America sure explain the racial disparity in the homicide rate.
  3. It's like I've said, I've heard people yell "police need more training my black son's gonna die." Well you had 18 years to train your kid not to be a thug ass criminal so why don't we start there That's your argument? That blacks commit more crime? Ok bruh
  4. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/507293-trump-administration-rescinds-policy-to-strip-visas-from-foreign Student visas shouldn't exist AT ALL. Jared and Ivanka NEED to go. This presidency is turning into a ***** disaster. Trump is hemorrhaging support and I'm not surprised when ***** like this happens just about every ***** week.
  5. The endorsement of Tuberville is a pretty good summary of how this presidency has gone - disappointingly. Sessions was probably the only America First candidate that would have been on the ballot in November. Instead we get Tommy "the riots are just about jobs and opportunities" Tuberville, failed college football coach and closet amnesty supporter. There is no political solution.
  6. Either that or Mohammed. Or his namesake on the maternal side, Mike Hawk.
  7. I eat a dozen raw every day. With the shells. Blend it up and suck it down. Alternatively, scrambled, over-easy, hard-boiled. Always with salt, pepper, hot sauce. If I'm eating out generally I'll only get them poached to avoid vegetable oils.
  8. For everyone who said “muh slippery slope” WaPo is publishing op eds saying that the Rangers must go.
  9. I wasn't talking about this case, I'm talking about in general. Kids turning up alive is not an indicator that they weren't trafficked.
  10. lol "GOPers cheat" from the guy whose party legislated an entire new citizenry over a 50 year period and STILL couldn't beat a reality TV star to the land's highest office in 2016.
  11. In general I agree with you. On its face though this one in particular was rather strange. There is certainly something strange going on but it is most likely money laundering tied to something slightly less nefarious. "Industrial" cabinets with the same dimensions and descriptions priced thousands of dollars apart, for instance. Or pillows with zodiac signs printed on them for 10-15k. Fine art is a well-known way of laundering money, one of the last in the world really. This is likely just another attempt to get creative and stay ahead of the DEA/IRS/pick your favorite alphabet agency. As I've stated before: the Qanon crowd is bonkers, but not for thinking that there are pedophiles at every level of Hollywood, government, etc. They're bonkers for believing that anybody is actually doing something about it. But for the record, just because children have been found doesn't mean they haven't been trafficked.
  12. "Undetectable" is practically "negative."
  13. It’s acknowledged that some Jews were slave owners and slave traders in that era. But the idea that they played a disproportionate role is a canard.
  14. I’ve been thinking about this a bit and asked around a little. I’m not sure that it’s an age gap that’s killing the newspaper. And I’m not sure “the internet” is either. I think it’s a bit of a combination. Like, I don’t watch or read the news very much mostly as a result of my education. The APA/Chicago style guides that were drilled into my head taught me the importance of good primary sources. And technology has made primary sources widely available to many more people than they were in the past. At the end of the day, if a journalist isn’t inserting his opinion into what he writes or says then that journalist is simply a middleman for information that has a source that more and more people are now able to access. And those middlemen have been rendered completely unnecessary by the combination of technology and telling generations of kids that information middlemen are bad sources for research purposes. If you want to know about a politician’s indictment, you can access the court documents. Heard about a controversial law that’s being considered in a legislature? Go read it on their website. Etc. No need for some overqualified pencil neck to tell you what they say. So news organizations have reacted to this shift by becoming bloated opinion columns. And if your entire purpose of existing is to publish opinions, odds are that one person’s/group’s opinions are going to dominate your publications. This polarizes your customer base to the point where you’re not likely to be profitable if you’re on a small scale, which means that you’re worthless in terms of market value. When institutions have no market value, they usually collapse. And now we’re hearing from newspapers what we’ve heard from every dying institution ever: “how will you survive without us?” To be sure, there is still a market for information middlemen, which is why national news orgs like WaPo, NYT, major cable news, etc are still going. But that market shrinks every time someone gets a dry cough and a fever. Competition for these consumers will get more and more sensational as time goes on. Which will turn off those who don’t want or need information middlemen all the more.
  15. Imagine choosing your own flesh and blood over your fractured government and being called a traitor for it.
  16. They conveniently cancelled that perk when DC Tom hit 49,999 posts.
  17. For the record, the OT does not claim that Jews built the pyramids. And yeah LJ27 has some hot takes and some really *****in spicy stuff on that account.
  18. Larry Johnson's twitter is absolute ? don't @ me
  19. Good afternoon. I read your post. Congratulations on the end of your suspension at 49.9k posts.
  20. Hogs actually wouldn't be bad for a DC-based team and does have the added benefit of tributing that line. Could bring back the Senators name. They folded long before the modern era.
  21. @Jauronimo has a dream that his little pizzas will one day be eaten in a nation where they will not be judged by the "authenticity" of their continental Italian heritage, but by the content of their tastes.
  22. ***** thank you. Let's not act like there aren't parking spaces next to the corral, considering most Americans are lazy ***** and the corrals tend to be further out than your typical 35 BMI patron wants to walk in that oppressive heat.
  23. He moved over to Fox sports radio/FS1.
  24. As to the OP, the post on whatever chan that was is absolutely spot on. There's no real incentive to return a cart, and there's absolutely no punishment for not returning it (unless you get caught by Cart Narcs!). The only motivation is that it helps out people that you'll probably never meet. If you don't do it, you and your unfortunate progeny should be publicly shamed.
