Can we fine our flaky friends for making everyone wait at the restaurant under the rule of "whereabouts failures"?

Nope.
Nope.
Nope.

More of this!
Yesterday, unqualified & ridiculous Hegseth argued 'how to follow orders' w Sen Kelly who looks like a book of regulations come to life.
Today, Thiel shouts at *The Pope* about religious doctrine.
Keep at it nutjobs! Stay arguing w OBVIOUS experts about stuff you don't understand!

I assume France is the nation you're dropping on the trip from 5 to 4?
November 25, 2025 at 1:31 PM
I think this is great. Hegseth should stay arguing w Mark Kelly about how to follow orders. Kelly seems exceedingly uptight and by-the-book while SecDef is giving 100proof failson.

Which one are actual serving troops gonna think has their best interests at heart?

Keep it up, Pete.

If you start now, you can figure out how to blame it all on Marsch by end of the season.

ArcadeBoss88 sure to be the WestHam sleeve sponsor next season.

GOPers are all aping Trump's own brand of "charm" which is threats and more threats. Trump governs with an 'all stick, no carrot' approach so his sycophants - like Elon/JD/etc - copy him. It's the MAGA way to be an alpha!

I think they are all aping Trump's own brand of "charm." Trump governs with an 'all stick, no carrot' approach so his sycophants - like Elon/JD - copy him. It's the MAGA way to be an alpha - you don't admit that convincing the other guy is even necessary - you just threaten until they give in.

Same theory as the "80% rebate on XYZ" relying on me being able to keep it enough together to mail my receipt for XYZ to a PO Box in Bowling Green and then remembering later I need to follow up with XYZ Corp when they "forget" to send my sweet rebate check.

There're gonna be twin struggles that'll take very different, but equally important, energies from elected D officials. The 'fun' parts of arresting & prosecuting Bondi, Miller, et al. But also re-writing all the laws that have really been norms, expanding SCOTUS, re-empowering all the agencies ...

This is the international relations version of ALEC - the right wing think tank that actually writes lots of state and federal legislation for GOP electeds that they pass off as their own. And often get turned in laws!

Makes sense that Putin is Trump's "think tank."

does it include the suspension that allows you to keep riding when you land in a 20-foot deep concrete flood control channel?

spot on Leeds fan impersonation is for the real heads
November 19, 2025 at 12:47 AM
Absolutely.
I'm also thinking of House R's releasing 20k emails to counteract the 3 that House Oversight Ds posted online. Just crap strategery.

Or, someone just sends the *wrong* attachment which is either a menu from Boston Market OR the file full of all the Trump mentions they yanked out.

I worked in music video biz for years and there was nothing MTV could do.

Once the internet could reliably serve up the exact music video from the exact artist you wanted instantly - why on earth would anyone sit through videos from artists they didn't like in the hopes they liked the *next* one.

It's going to be redacted and scrubbed and ...

What are the odds that these dum dums did a god job hiding all the juicy stuff? They will have left digital trails or forgotten who still has an orig copy.

I'm not saying they aren't gonna try and hide stuff, I'm saying they're gonna suck at it.

I'm a Fulham fan so I'll be hoping we can see Wales, Norway or Denmark.
November 18, 2025 at 11:20 PM
I'm a Fulham fan and glad we kept him, but he's 3x better for his national team than he is for us - ala Lukas Podolski.

I'm hoping that we get some 'less popular' games at my closest stadium (SoFi in Los Angeles) and we can study up on an unfavored team (Ecuador, Cape Verde, etc) and go see them when the prices get lowered 2 days before like they did for the Club World Cup last summer.
