Ok…what is App State doing today?

JJ's quarter has been not sterling. He's making great plays but the overall production is just a hair below awesome.

Yeah he's solid

Corum and JJ didn't take long

a lot of insider baseball. But all the alt-right friends of vladdie are here

Never forget that Mastriano is a dangerous anti-semite.

My thought about all this is in part Machiavelli: you have to appeal to the feelings of the common man and most of them are going to go to the religious and spiritual when in distress.

This cannot stand He must be punished for this.

My immediate thought is that Xi is Hitler to Putin's Mussolini. XI is closer to Stalin than Hitler though. If he survives October that is.
