There are so many things wrong with the edge lord mentality thinking they can hand-wave away the DoD budget process. Its almost as if the person who is saying that is extremely ignorant and on drugs at the same time.

I find that very respectful.

lots of edge lords coming for the F-35. Goodbye Taiwan, goodbye. Smdh.

bsky on the United Healthcare CEO shooting has been the one time I've been a bit disappointment in its "antibodies" of that platform, because a lot of folks are leaning into the wrong narratives on that one. He can be a member of a distasteful class of people and a human being at the same time. Now, he's probably the Brent character from "The Good Place" (i.e., an unreconstructable born-on-third-base person with limited empathy) but, people hooting about someone finally putting some fear into the type of people who want to deny sick kids on chemotherapy anti-nausea meds, or anesthesia while you are under the knife (the Anthem news that was out there) is not a good trend. All that said, dude had a silencer on his pistol. That means he had a pistol that required a tax stamp. I'd be amazed if that isn't making the big data swoop on his identity much easier.

Wish the fans would start Tarik Skubal chants at random Detroit sports events. He's not quite that level of transformational figure though. Detroit has had Cy Young winners but we have not had a great QB since the days of Charlie Ba...oh, who am I kidding, it was a three game stretch when Dave Kr...sheesh. Not in my lifetime have we had a great QB.

The cash the alumni base has is being well-used here. Now, the question is which alumni base?

Tulsi Gabbard nom is finally getting the attention it deserves. https://apnews.com/article/trump-gabbard-national-intelligence-director-senate-e351e922f7d185ced030169fe83e94da There are bunch of articles with this story. The money They are saying there is information.

The defense was a thing of wonder. How did they hold up as well as they did with all those new people? 10 days off could not come at a better time.

Popaganda was the name of one of John Paul II’s tours of Manchester and the north of England.

Whatever the hell is going on with Mika Brzinkski and Joe Scarborough is weird. They have guns to their heads?

Matt Whitaker is going to be Ambassador to NATO. Jeez. What the actual hell?

Pete Hegseth is promising not to drink so he can run the Department of Defense. But what about all the other stuff?

Evan Longoria saving the reporter

Plus shatter the idea that the SEC is the only place people care about college football.

Not in the same class as an athletic play but for as important as it was to the trajectory of the season it was Trey Sweeney's catch of the popup on 21/SEP/2024 against the Orioles

I have no objections.

Hegseth probably has a lot of enablers. I'm sure he's a saint with his kids when he's sober.

no argument on the relative merits but, the most recent Nat championship was flavored with portal guys not entirely built from them. We might have to do it the portal way to get it in 2 but the QB is the most important component and he's gonna be playing in year 2.

South Korea having a largely conscripted army is possible mitigation. The trinity of war is harder to break if the line is blurred between the citizens and the armed forces. Also, and a larger part of this is that SK has a real national security challenge up north and this was probably seen as a terrible leader doing Trump games to stay in power.

Gonna be an important day in Michigan football history. Hopefully they can get a class they can win a natty with in 2 years.

I'm sorry, what? You think the base of the Democratic party sympathizes with Putin and Asad?

and it was because of this? https://www.mediaite.com/news/new-lindsey-graham-calls-pete-hegseth-reports-very-disturbing-confirmation-will-be-difficult/
