Excellent thesis. Right on the head. ‘Zero-sum’ is what America and Americans are all about anymore. After all, ‘Looking out for #1' doesn’t allow for anything else for anyone else. I wish us all the best of luck.

I really hope that after Biden cleans house of all the “shallow state” (ie Trumpers in the Government)

I have no experience with amphibious Loti but I would not be surprised it leaked like a Polish submarine.

Oh, yeah.

I would argue these two popularized the word Hoser more than all of Canada.

“ The 46-year-old had left behind his past in Houston after being released from prison stemming from a 2007 robbery. He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records. ”

Yeah I can’t really disagree with ya there. Fieros don’t do shit for me, but dam failures are intensely interesting. I am from Michigan and became somewhat obsessed with this for a few days last week, watching every drone vid on youtube I could find. I don’t live nearby but drive through the area on my way north and…

According to WaPo there were protests at the house of the killer cop.

I do have sympathy for them. I’m sympathetic to the people who are enraged by it as well, as they should be.

For the few that choose to steal and burn buildings down, that’s where my support ends. If you want to riot in the streets, do that ish right in front of the cops houses or wherever they are hiding out. If you…

This place was in the town of Sanford, which sits below the lower dam, that as you note failed after the upstream Edenville dam failed first. It could be argued that both Dams failed due to poor design, with inadequate emergency spillway capacity. Both essentially over-topped due to 5-7" of rain falling in two days…

1. They also put him in a dark closet by himself to “calm him down”

Oh my god, “gotcha day”? My brother and I were adopted as infants, and it was VERY clear to us from the get-go - even though it was never actually said in so many words - that the days we were born were the days that we were born into our family, regardless of how many days it took for us to be officially placed in…

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

don’t waste time with this burnercause dude. he’s a loser. he’ll get what’s coming to him. we know things. don’t worry... ;)

That is actually the take-away progressives and liberals need to understanding; the whole Kavanaugh/Biden dichotomy does show hypocrisy. Which is why it was extremely dumb to go through that entire dog and pony show and not expect it to bite you in the ass later. 

He addressed what? He denied it in that doddering way that makes one wonder if he even remembers who they’re talking about and what the allegations are but I wouldn’t call that addressing it; unless you have unbelievably low standards which apparently seems to be the case so long as the person in question is a…

2 words. FUCK THEM. 

Gotta fuckin’ love blatantly authoritarian states!

Gotta fuckin’ love blatantly authoritarian states!

He could do a speaking tour on that whole “Coming out of the Hatred” angle. Although it sounds like he just got bored with it and moved on without wanting to be on a poster. He could still be a racist dirtbag. He could change. I’m certainly not the same person I was when I was 17.
