Maybe the secret service can hire cellmates to act as his protection. I hear they work for cheap, and they don't need health benefits. Per Diem paid in cigarettes and smuggled burner phones. -
Why you hating on black cats?

sports 2023/24 NFL It’s a Hard Knock Life Shit Talking Thread
scoobdog replied to 1pooh4u's topic in General Discussion
I think this is dead on. Fans must be tripping if they think can just plug and play a new qb if their starter is sidelined like Aaron "The Mouth" Rodgers. Getting a chance to work with a talented young guy and no real risk of him being thrown into the starting slot in invaluable. It's one of the few things Green Bay has done right for so long. -

I have blue eyes and I can’t say that I’ve had unusual sensitivity to light. But, I’ve also used polarized sun glasses for years. -
Unquestionably, and all to save their political lives rather than for the good of the people they serve.

The mandate wasn't to hunt down all Palestinians, it was to target and remove Hamas.

You get a "Shut up Scoob" for that one Doomy. For what it's worth, GW Bush didn't mishandle a war operation (in fact, the US Military was exceedingly efficient in Iraq), he invaded a country on false pretenses. It's the exact opposite situation with Israel - they had the best reason to hunt down Hamas, they just completely butchered the hunt.

2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
scoobdog replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
I still have no idea why conservatives don’t know what dementia actually looks like. Also, you’re too lazy to put in two measly apostrophes in seven total words? These two statements may be related. -
As the irony policeman, I would like to point out it is ironic that MD responded to a post in an attempt to add context by subtracting context. At this point, we need to accept that neither side has any reason to trust the other. So, @Master-Debater131, how do we move forward with reconciliation?

Happy Birthday PerfectFlowingHair & BlueNeptune777

One of these days we're going to make a wall of birthday threads. -
It's going to float anyway... cereal doesn't just soak up milk on contact. But, you won't know how much milk you actually need unless you pour the cereal first - you'll just end up with a bowl of milk and whatever cereal you can put in without overflowing the bowl.

It’s rather absurd.

I was wondering how you were going to pull this one off….

Actually, for the cholesterol supposedly.

Can't they get better looking propagandists?

Here's the problem that no one seems to want to discuss.... Palestinians feel that they have no room for discourse because any discussion about oppression at the hands of the Israeli government are met with calls of anti-semitism, and it's not without good cause. In part because the Israeli government has lumped in its grave mismanagement of the IDF's operations in with the wholly justified operation to eliminate Hamas as an functional entity, criticism of Israel is escalated into and conflated with extemist calls for the elimination of the Jewish state. Even generally well-respected organizations like the ADL have sided with the Israeli government rather than acknowledge that Netanyahu and his cabinet have abused Israel's standing. This is a problem a long time in the making and just every American administration since Truman has had a hand in it. We didn't create a proper two state cohabitation in the very beginning and when successive Israeli administrations punted on reforms that would have allowed Palestinians to exist side-by-side with Israelis, we did nothing. That, ultimately is what's behind the current crisis: a fundamental refusals to acknowledge that Palestinians have an equal right as Jews to govern themselves on the land they've occupied for nearly two millennia. It's not zero-sum - you can't deny Jews the right to their ancestral home so that the Palestinians can continue to live there, and you can't force Palestinians to leave the place they've called home since the Roman diaspora. Both have to co-exist in the same space. This all-or-nothing attitude tends to pervade every discussion without every being explicitly uttered. When it's not identified, it becomes ignored to the increasing peril of both. Extremist groups like Hamas are no different than their white supremacist counterparts here in the US. Like white racists, they find it easier to frame out their extremist charter when they have a conflict to lend moral justification to the "goal" of their cause. For years, conservatives have been using crime as a justification for restricting or outright eliminating programs designed to help minorities overcome institutional gaps on the basis that it gives people the incentive to turn to crime. In turn, that widens the socioeconomic gap and leads to more people turning to crime. Hamas has been able to exploit the sheer disregard by Israel and it allies for the physical and economic well being of Palestinians to justify terrorism which, in turn, makes it extremely difficult for Jewish citizens to side with commonsense measures for Palestinian self reliance, which, in turn, creates an unwillingness for Palestinians to accept the presence of Jews. We are at a point where neither has a path to coexisting with the other, and that will only lead to the eradication of both.
