Bullies gonna bully. There was a lot of chirping at a recent hockey game. A visiting forward who liked to run his mouth and had a tough guy rep was checked, hard, along the boards in front of our team. He was supposed to be a tough guy but he winced. Who knows why, but he showed weakness. Fast as lighting, the Coach said (loud enough for the bench but not the refs) “Why don’t you go cry home to Mommy.” For the rest of the game the guy stayed away and was nothing of a factor in the game .
The point is when Trump was facing the half billion dollar fine (and supposedly the tough guy) he went ape-shit wincing, weaseling and whinging about it and NO-ONE called him on it. He’s out of control and no-one has the ability to stop his antics.
So I guess, you get what you pay for; or vote for. And that’s not leadership on the part of the court, it’s appeasement.
What a crackpot, malunderstood dunce of a comment is this: “When the Hamas sees Israel’s closest allies in the West coming against Israel at a time like this, Hamas will say ‘why should we negotiate any deal?'” Ummmm, because the IDF is on an uncontrolled killing spree, a pogrom, if you will, against Palestinians?
Bullshit. Corpo’s build a system that users figure out and use? Sounds like they got caught with their pants down and have to make an example. Fucking trolls.
Why not think and pray? Or get out your OC AR-15 and shoot the dang thing. Those seem to be the Texas go-to options. It’s God’s judgement on permissiveness with the immigrants and guys.
I do not understand the US judiciary nullifying a portion of the “sacred” constitution. Seems like the beginning of the end, to an outside observer. Thanks for all the fish!!
Just the sight of the grinning ghoul send shivers down my spine and rage into my veins. Where the hell are our elected officials and why is Weston not hanging upside down from a hook through his ankle? This monopolistic cash grab is insane.
This isn’t sketchy at all. It sounds an awful lot like price fixing… something Loblaws is intimately aware of having honed their skills for over two decades on staple foods we all need to live.
Just stopped in to say fuck you to the greedy motherfuckers who created a market for sharing massively overpriced content and now cry all over their piles of money cause they are BIGGER piles of money.
Half a story, told from the 1% perspective, is a trope with the CEEB these days. A manufactured crisis to elicit a singular response. Pity the poor land owner, being held hostage by the big bad tenant. Boo fucking hoo....
Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof.

Reminds me of getting a note from HR admonishing me to pick out my 20th work anniversary “gift” from “pages 12 to 16” of the supplied catalogue. I knew nothing of it. They concluded with “or we’ll choose for you, i.e. a clock”. I got luggage tags. For 20 years of my life. The best years of my life. Luggage tags. FML.

This is fucking ridiculous. Herr Drumpf tweets “RIGGERS” while referencing a POC and we’re questioning if it’s a dogwhistle? Y’all are stupid. Jesus Christ, am I the only one who didn’t take a crazy pill today?
