Sorry, I’m too busy trying to find a heart to look for a spine.

Another major embarrassment and he’s only two days in. These organizations are the preeminent organizations of their kind in the world and to muzzle them is to negatively impact the vital information shared by scientists across multiple disciplines worldwide. But Trump doesn’t want to be undone by another pandemic, so it’s best to just silence them. Silencing is key though. Just like 1930s Europe. He just might break that 53 day mark after all.

Says the one who has misread and ascribed ill intent to several of my previous posts in this forum, without ever asking for an explanation and yet, when one was given, still felt the need to miss the point and insist I was calling for violence. Try taking your own good advice.

That’s the goal of Vance and others in this administration. He and his billionaire oligarch friends are big supporters of Curtis Yarvin’s philosophy and it’s no accident that several elements of it can be found in the Project 2025 manifesto.

Why yes, yes it is.

Damn right he’s shifting the conversation. I’d like to know when, in the face of the left’s “questioning modern day application of the second Amendment” a left leaning president had the audacity to issue an executive order in violation of it.

The issue of children born in the US from both non-citizen parents was settled by the SCOTUS in 1898 in US vs. Wong Kim Ark. But given how the corrupt right wing members of the current SCOTUS enjoy stripping pre-established rights, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they overturned that 1898 precedent as well. The White House will polish this turd seven ways to Sunday as evidenced above.

In that case, you can’t call a 7 point lead a “one score” margin, either. But I get what you’re saying and that’s why I like to refer to the number of possessions instead. For instance, an eight point lead is a one possession game, etc.

The words below by Martin Niemoller, German pastor, former German naval officer in WWI, former supporter of the Nazi regime, and former anti-Semite is pertinent in today’s climate. We can just insert the different groups we seek to marginalize today, from gays to immigrants or any “other” we can think of. First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

Darn, no Gilligan’s Island to watch tonight instead so … Hogan’s Heroes it is! Which is entirely appropriate because this team should all be sent to the Russian front.

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the Constitution. How is it that a president of the USA cannot know this or not have advisers that should know it for him? Unbelievable, but very concerning as it dovetails with my previous topic on how Hitler overturned Germany’s democracy in 53 days. Trump and his henchmen are wasting little time in their efforts to chip away at the very foundation that holds our freedoms together. A shameful moment in what I predict will be years of shameful moments for this fascist administration.

Nope. And it’s been decades. Probably should have done it years ago. Guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

So glad I decided to watch Gilligan’s Island. The professor just made a small nuclear device out of a coconut.

Well that truly sucks for the great Bball fans in the Emerald City. It just ain’t right.

No banner for the ‘79 Supersonics?

This appeared in The Atlantic, but it’s behind a paywall. However news outlets have reported on it and I’ve heard it’s making the rounds on subreddits. I’m linking the MSN article. I think it’s pertinent given who is being sworn in today, Project 2025, and the people he’s chosen for positions in his administration. To anyone who thinks that could never happen here, think again. Democracies die when we go to sleep and take it for granted. I submit that’s where we are currently. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/historian-reveals-how-hitler-dismantled-democracy-in-less-than-two-months/ar-AA1xbNBe# EDIT: Just noticed I misspelled the author’s name in the topic. It’s Ryback as opposed to Ruback. Apologies to the forum.

Hmm, do I watch the Sabres or a Gilligan’s Island re-run? As if there’s a real choice to be made. Gilligan it is! Although I think the Sabres will be on their own version of a three hour cruise.

Man, the A schedule can sure be a grind at times. Three games in three nights for the Amerks today, topping off with a trip to face the Bears in Hershey. They’re gonna sleep well tonight.

Well at least it wasn’t over by Thanksgiving. Baby steps.

He may not be the problem, but nor is he part of the solution to fill the huge need for a starting goalie.

Like most mediocre goalies, Oopie is capable of a hot game and even a hot stretch of games before he comes crashing back to earth. He simply doesn’t make the key saves at the critical moments often enough. Support or no support, being able to do that consistently is the mark of a good starting goalie. I think he’s not much more than a decent backup who can give you 25-30 games in a season. Among several other things, we need a legit starting caliber goalie.

Yep. He sucks just like the rest of these losers.

A still image is as close as I could get.
