California PG&E going full regard. Preemptively shutting off power to 800,000 for up to 7 days straight in anticipation of 45 mph winds
Lol. Keep tellin' yourself that. But I'm sure there are at least 2,000 leaving California b/c of stuff like this, so you're right.

China Sucks
I think the NBA is technically a non-profit (iifc) but really? The NBA is in the business to make money. How hard is it for the Morey's of the world to keep their yap shut? And as far as the head of the NBA telling a huge market to fuck themselves? Like India can compare to China.

We're in the 25th A. zone now. Have been for awhile, but really in it now. Why is that not brought up?

We know who the dipshits are (those in office, and the public who supports this pos). Vote them out of office. Vote. Vote. Vote them out of office. All the rest is noise.

Now you're just being intentionally moronic. I'm out.

What do you think the freedom of speech is? Maybe read the First Amendment again?

China Sucks
Yeah, but not on a governmental, international level. Navigating office politics =/= this shit.

China Sucks
In all seriousness, I don't think it is a right and value of the US or the NBA. Or the NFL.

China Sucks
Morey was an idiot here, imo. I mean, China is a big market for the NBA, especially the Rockets. Keep your politics out of your business, dumb ass.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
The GOP is basically a bunch of gutless old pussies. It's time for a grand ol' purge. We know who the bootlickers are. Vote them out.

Why not both? Rally around impeachment and run against Trump for Prez? Go Mitch Go.

We're way past that point. Fuck the GOP. I hope they die and rot in hell.

Yeah, you're right, HRC. But since you're you, just delete that last sentence and keep your editorializing to yourself.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
This is very similar to anti-vaxxers (and other science-ignorant people): the less they know about science, the more convinced they are about their own scientific views.

Donald Trump 2019
Scott Simon had a good piece on the hypocrisy (and other things) of Pompeo. Link: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/05/767383696/opinion-did-secretary-pompeo-forget-his-west-point-pledge Here it is. Like Trump's transcripts, we should all read this for ourselves. Mike Pompeo graduated first in his class at West Point in 1986, became a tank commander, went to Harvard Law, became a Beltway lawyer, Kansas businessman, congressman, CIA director and, now, secretary of state. "There's no doubt West Point impacted who I am," Mr. Pompeo has said. "It has an enormous emphasis, not only on military aspects, but character development. Whether it's the honor code, or the interactions you have ... every place you are is a character test. In these days of qualifiers and codicils, the West Point honor code is concise and plain: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." U.S. Army officers I've met in wars have told me they carry that code through life. They've explained that "will not lie" includes what Gen. Maxwell Taylor, who was superintendent of West Point, called "quibbling, evasive statements, or the use of technicalities..." An officer doesn't find clever ways to avoid telling the truth. If a soldier asks, "Is the enemy behind that hill?" and an officer knows they've actually dug in on top of that hill, the officer shouldn't say, "Oh, not really." A West Point grad is supposed to answer with the truth they know is crucial — not, "quibbling, evasive statements." Last Sunday, when Secretary Pompeo was asked by ABC's Martha Raddatz about the conversation between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine, and the report of a whistleblower about that conversation, the secretary said, "So you just gave me a report about a I.C. whistleblower complaint, none of which I've seen..." And the secretary told a State Department briefing, "I haven't had a chance to actually read the whistleblower complaint yet. I read the first couple of paragraphs, and then got busy today ..." It wasn't until Wednesday — after a report in The Wall Street Journal that he had been in on that phone call — when Secretary Pompeo finally said at a press conference in Italy the entire truth about that conversation. He said, "I was on the phone call." Most politicians can be evasive; it's part of the parlance of politics. But Mike Pompeo is a trained soldier who conducts the foreign policy of the United States. In the weeks ahead, Secretary Pompeo will be asked to comply with subpoenas and requests for records. You may wonder if he will use his skills to dance, slide and misdirect, or be as honest and direct as the West Point honor code he knows by heart.

Texas @ WVU will be at 2:30 Central on 10/5 - ABC
Good game. Any time Texas wins (w/o some kind of bad injuries) is a good game. It shows, to me anyway, that Texas is a pretty good team. Not great (yet), but on the way there. Herman is doing a rock solid job in getting to greatness, imo. Hook 'em.

Accidentally shoot son in law. Is it really tho?
Yeah, we get the difference in definition. It used to be "thou shalt not kill", or at least that's what I was taught.

True, but it sounds like what SI was doing wasn't making much money, either. Who really buys magazines anymore?

Maybe not. But you do you.

You're right. This isn't about concealed or open carry. It's about too many fucking dipshits with too many fucking guns in a country that is insane when it comes to gun control.

Bullshit. Was it a dumb thing to do? Sure. Did he deserve to get shot? No. America really is fucked up when it comes to guns.
