The same “Christian Nation” that used to have family picnics while lynching black people is the same “Christian Nation” that’s proudly going to live-stream the public execution of the Ft Hood shooter.

If Americans were smart, and I don't believe we are, we would impose our own inner sanctions and simply not eat beef for 90 days. See if the ranchers still love trump after that.

the sad thing about all this is, one must assume, that Bobby K is proud of himself.

diarrhea Taylor Farms, salmonella chicken parm, bags of frozen blueberries that straight-up kill your ass heavy metal sourdough, listeria soup bowl refreshing summer popsicle that's filled with shards of glass we didn't start the fire...

85 years. Wow, where does the time go. 85th anniversary of Operation Rheinübung, better known as the Bismark Boo-Boo. What a great fox-and-hounds story. What an epic failure. So why should we be reading about a madman dictator thinking he can "control" the seas with a boat?

Anyways, Pursuit is a good telling of the story, some rather elegant prose, fresh, not cliche', in particular his handling of death. And It's his story too. Kennedy was there, actually saw the Bismark, as an officer on a British destroyer. If you like reading history, I recommend this one.

Unit of measurement -- OSSP Olympic Sized Swimming Pool I call them Ospies And as I have no idea how big an Ospie actually is, they are useless outside of headlines (but I have been told they can hold 744 African elephants)

For about the 15th time this week, I got a text from some jackass trying to sell me health insurance. The thing of it is, this is my personal phone, and if it beeps, I check it. Profit driven med insurance steals your time. They steal your time, bankrupt you, and let you die. Scum of the earth.

So do they just send texts to every possible phone number, or are the Dr Inc selling our numbers? Sick of this shit, and the Dems are like "oooh Obama care is soooo coooool". Dems will lose on this issue, like Harris lost on genocide.

Agreed.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

The civilization he wants to end is ours. The "war" was in Iran, but it is on the USA.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

Imagine the bar being set so low that “Don’t yuck it up with a rapist and child molester” is an accomplishment and now imagine how pathetic you are that you can’t even step over that bar. The US men’s hockey team is why women chose the bear.

Well it's only been 3 years, 11 months and two weeks since I have thought about curling. Time to get bloodlust boiling about those foreign basterds from ----(checks notes)--- Oh CANADA!
