  1. I can't disagree, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you- without the weirdos this world would just... suck.
  2. I have never in my lifetime experienced a collection of appointees as unqualified for their posts as we have right now under the Trump administration. Good luck
  3. This is a fun part though- How can you not feel the passion for journalism just oozing through his bones... per AI: Rupert Murdoch has not written any books or significant works of literature under his own name. While he has penned annual letters to stockholders, these are primarily business-related and do not represent creative writing. A New Yorker article mentioned an aborted autobiography. Beyond having zero passion for anything related to actual journalism, I'm not going to get into his personal stuff. He is a businessperson out to create personal wealth with no regard for anything else. I think it's called a sociopath.

  5. Nice cynicism. Some of us are just stronger minded than your average North Carolina Disney fan- cue Pope Francis, not his 'handlers'. Personal story related- there's absolutely no way my Mom didn't stave off death until 45 minutes into December 26th- so she didn't die on my sister's birthday. Go see a national park or something- sounds like you need it. Oh, wait, they're probably all bulldozed by now... What's with it with my fellow American citizens cheering on ugliness and cynicism in my own country?
  6. 77 seconds- all hell broke loose from there, we were just toying with teams after that. What a ***** blast!
  7. To be fair to the OP, the only accurate season prediction you could have made is that the Bills would NOT win the Super Bowl. )
  8. 16 wongs don't make a wight. So tell me what is your 'rooting interest' in all of this- it can't be 'pro-incompetence', can it?
  9. Ends what, Doc? Hegseth's a gonner. This ain't going away, no metter how much you dweam it to be.
  10. Would I know I picked the song, and under these circumstances? If I knew I'd picked the song it would probably be Baba O'Riley. It'd be about the best song for keeping my spirit alive- knowing I could only listen to 1 song for the rest of my life- which would be the death of me. But if I didn't know about the choice, or maybe even other music at all, I might go with something like San Tropez
  11. Why are you even pretending? Seriously, what do the F/A-18 pilots stand to gain by Pete Hegseth blabbing battle plans, as they launched, and over an unsecured and unapproved channel to his wife, brother and lawyer?
  12. "Hi hon! I'm just about to take off from the Eisenhower, just off the Gulf coast- hope you're having a great day!" Yeah, I'm sure that was totally rad, dude.
  13. If you'd told your brother Daryl and wife Ginny what you were about to do before launch, how would that have gone over... on any ordinary carrier launch?
  14. I want to point this out- there are incredibly eloquent and thoughtful persons on 'both sides of the aisle'. I know where I stand, and this administration and basically ALL of it's subordinates are complete garbage, anathema to what we should rationally consider a democracy. It's easy to get caught up in how despicable those 'who don't think like me' are. But there's only one true villain here, it's Sherpa.
