Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed Rep. Jason Smith on the Thursday edition of his podcast, calling the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee "one of the most loyal lapdogs" for Washington lobbyists.

The Charlottesville statue—dedicated to a traitor and mediocre general—that was the center of that deadly Nazi and Trump fan (apologies for the tautology) rally was melted down.

Will we ever get gun control, or has that ship sailed?

We should try. It’s popular (despite what the fetishists claim):

But 200+ years ago some white dudes that owned slaves wrote words... Sorry, nothing we can do. 

Words about smoothbore fucking muskets that assholes use to justify owning weapons of mass destruction (yes an assault rifle is a weapon of mass destruction [and no I don't care if a gun fetishist says I'm using the wrong terminology]).

So many lives changed and ruined all because some piece of shit has access to firearms.  I don’t even have words for attacks like these anymore. Just hope none of us ever end up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The most frustrating thing is we absolutely have a solution, just we can never implement it due to the selfishness of certain Americans.

It’s still insane to me that Mike Flynn was EVER allowed in the White House.

EVERYTHING about the Trump White House in exponentially worse than anything that's happened before.

The entirety of Youtube could be wiped from the internet and nothing of value would be lost.

Prepare your butts. The Seahawks throwbacks are fucking gorgeous. They'll be wearing them this week.

I need this hat.

That is something that’s gonna stay in my guts for awhile. The book is a mix of prose and poetry, telling the story of Billy from his point of view. The violence is deeply visceral—some of the most disturbing passages I’ve ever read—while the moments of calm can be just as neatly serene. I read a Kindle version but I think I’ll need to get a print version someday that I can mark up. 
 

I started Ride the Pink Horse, by Dorothy B. Hughes. It’s supposed to be a classic crime/noir story. 

I enjoyed that noir. Had a lively theme of  Catholicism running through, which I always enjoy. I’ll track down something else by the other if I want to go back to the genre.

Boy, his generic white guy looks ain't doing anything to shoot holes in this theory.

 

When I saw the stock photo of him I suspected ChatGPT spat it out when someone typed in, show me the phrase, "Working hard or hardly working buddy?" if it were a person.....

 

 

 

 

Mike Johnson isn’t real right? That’s like the generic game a video game gives you. Jon Dowd-ass name. 

I love Paul Sewald and I will be rooting for him to get a ring.

TBF 49ers aren't very good, they've just been beating up on the bottom of the league , kinda like dallas. Losing to Vikings and Cleveland in back to back weeks. SMH

 

 

 

See I can make dumb statements too

49ers should trade for Kirk Cousins.

Bryan Abreu got suspended for 2 games for hitting Adolis Garcia. Of course he can appeal and avoid missing games for the rest of this series. 

His suspension won't be until next year. Thank god MLB is always there to protect the poor liddle Astros. God forbid that franchise should ever face any repercussions.

Abreu hit someone tonight too.

I think Garcia has taken it personally. He's on fire.

100% agreed, it's a bizarre thing. Now criticizing a film on its terms is another thing entirely and TLJ is certainly open to criticism on that front.

 

 

It's easy to sympathize with a guy that, once you know his family's history, is fucked from jump street but tries his best to do the right thing anyway throughout the OT without knowing basically anything about the Force or what's going on.

Totally agree. I think it's a huge issue with analysis and criticism today; people don't like to approach a film on its own merits but instead try to bring it down for what it was never trying to be.

So long as you're aware of it, etc., which you clearly are, that's the most one can ask of anyone. Most adult men don't even get close to understanding this so you're good.

 

 

Yeah, I see it a lot in person and online particularly where for some reason big franchises, and stuff like Star Wars and LOTR in particular, many audience members went in needing everything to go a certain way, etc. and that's not how we normally approach movies. It can be deflating at first for the fan, I get that, but then you have to get over it and judge the movie on its terms.

 

And I agree in that I'd love to jump way ahead in the future too but I have to accept that's unlikely for the time being. But a reboot? No thanks.

I think this is a huge issue with franchises and their fanbases. Fans get way into some intense head-canon, and when the movie doesn't align with their imagination or expectations, they blame the movie. And movies don't (and shouldn't) work that way.

I don't think I'll be able to see it till it hits streaming. But I'm dying to see it.

Really happy to see Jaxon Smith-Njigba get his first touchdown. If this offense were to ever get fully healthy I think they could really be special.

Even the CIA's gone woke.
