re: Stop running!

Keep running! This team needs to start fighting, and that aggressiveness might carry over to other aspects of the game. CJJ has to try something to get this team out of its lethargy.

Do y’all think that when Tolkien wrote the lord of the rings that he knew it would be so prophetic?

It didn't just happen to be prophetic. It was written in response to what was already happening. Tolkein meant for it to be an allegory for what was going on at the time. So yes, he knew it would be prophetic.

Well, I could’ve respected that reply if it weren’t for the childish throw-away remark at the end.

I only use comments like that to people who use them first. Go back and read your post to which I had replied.
quote:

There is enough “not actually evidence” evidence like this (not to mention severe statistical anomalies and cases which courts refused to hear, etc…) to be able to question the results.

Agreed. But the people who are AMAZED that no one is convicted based on this are lacking in sense.
quote:

When it comes to liberals, always assume they are up to their cheating ways.

For over 40 years I have believed that the democrats have been cheating in the inner cities. Their 90% monopoly on the black vote, and the lawlessness in the inner cities, have made it difficult on republicans to get proper poll watching there. That has created an environment in which it is easy to cheat. Combine this with the democrats opposition to any voter ID and it becomes impossible to rationalize all of this without assuming they are cheating.

But all of this is assumption and rationalization. Courts require hard evidence.
quote:

as far as I can tell there’s no mention of prosecution or proof or evidence or trial or any other stuff like that. And I note that the piece describes it an “admission,” which may well be intentional, and not “confession.” So maybe go easy on starting in on “stupid mouth breathers” already this morning, lest ye actually be referring to yeself

The OP falsely characterizes this as an admission and implies it is conclusive evidence. Multiple posters then join in with comments like “And nothing will happen”, implying that something should happen. All of that is foolish, as is your response.

1. You are describing an economic pain contest. In this situation, I think Iran can endure economic pain better than the US. In this situation the US is dealing with the pain of a prolonged global energy supply shock. Most people just want their stuff delivered on time and their flight to Chicago to not cost too much.


You are right about the relative sensitivity to economic discomfort, but we are contemplating disastrous pain to Iran and slight discomfort to America.
quote:

2. Invading Iran is not an option unless you want complete and total regime change in the United States.

Agreed. This would be the inevitable result if we were to lose the pain contest. We won’t.
There is ZERO evidence in that video. It’s just a guy saying “They did this and they did that”. Put that guy under oath and attorneys will ask him, “Who?” He would have to name names and say, “I saw them do it.”

Convicting someone based on that videotape is impossible. Nothing in that video would even be admitted into evidence. But a bunch of mouth breathers will read the OP and be convinced that there is blatant proof of cheating and it’s just being ignored.

I think they cheat. I think the effort to keep ID being mandated is an effort to allow improper votes. But the OP is a bunch of foolishness.
quote:

Seems like an odd outcome for a total victory.


Agreed, but this is easy to prevent. We have left Iran’s oil infrastructure intact. We simply hold it hostage. If they start tolling we start incrementally destroying their oil infrastructure. They will give in on that. If they don’t we will have to invade them.

I’m on a World Cruise and the itinerary has been changed due to these MFers.

Reminds me of a fake newspaper National Lampoon put out 50 years ago. One headline said, “Japan completely destroyed by earthquake”. Underneath it said, “Vacation plans of Iowa couple ruined”. :lol:

Enjoy your cruise. That sounds great. :cheers:

I just want some of these news sources to stop beating around the bush.


Confirm your fricking sources first. Then come out with it. If you can't confirm it, then shut the frick up.

Unfortunately, that is not the commercial feedback we, the consumers, are giving them.

“having by the balls” means having complete control. They don’t. They are an irritant to us, while we are an existential threat to them.

Also, they are not bothering us. They are not impeding the flow of oil or anything else, and they are not attacking Americans.

I just read your response to my wife. We’re leaving at 6 PM. :lol:

In her defense, it’s an international flight, but still… :banghead:
