Great podcast!

Great, so now you're inside the IDF team, they knew exactly where every one of those pagers were and who was around when they detonated them?

I'm talking about killing children. You're talking about the political situation. You're just blindly assuming, for your own political purposes, that I am in favor of Hamas or what they did on October 7. I'm not. That doesn't mean Israel should be allowed to wantonly kill Palestinian civilians and children, or more relevantly to this actual discussion, kill children in Lebanon by recklessly sending bonds and indiscriminately blowing them up. You're not going to believe this, it's possible to not support either side in a conflict.

Ok, so it's ok to just blindly send bombs into other countries, and...accidentally kill children.. Got it.

This situation is actually about people in Iran, not Gaza. Also, just to be clear, even if it was about Hamas in Gaza, you are saying that you think Israel should be allowed to kill the Palestinian children. Am I getting it right?

I'd have to sit on my thoughts for a minute to give a full-fledged list, but my favorite movie of all-time, still, is the Princess Bride. Combination of genuine comedy, fantasy, action, romance. A perfect movie.

So prepare yourselves for right wingers to complain again about the votes not being immediately known on election night, thanks to rules they themselves change, provided this doesn't run afoul of State law. https://apnews.com/article/georgia-state-election-board-rules-da1f271f360b15353abebdf9ff183b3d Apparently, the 3 voters for this proposal also, coincidentally I'm sure, were publicly praised by Donald Trump last month.

I'm not sure what your point here is? Did I ever say it's never been discussed before? There is an active, current push to do this NOW, immediately, within 50 days, and part of the reasons for the wait has been some pushback from elected Republicans in Omaha itself as well as from the fact that Maine's laws apparently say any changes to their system have to happen at 90 days out. That's why Lindsey Graham, a man elected in South Carolina, is actively skipping Senate votes to go to Nebraska, a state where is not elected, to try to push them to change their laws.

That isn't really what happened here, as these kids weren't anywhere near any sort of active battle theater, nor did the 8 year old child have a knife, either metaphorical or otherwise. Got it, so if someone comes to your neighborhood and kills a bunch of people, including your children, you have the right to kill his children. Am I getting it right?

Seems purposely times do that Maine can't do the same thing to respond. And the rules are potentially being changed...for no reason at all, other than to benefit one particular party. Wild times. https://www.axios.com/2024/09/19/lindsey-graham-electoral-vote-change-nebraska

Firstly, not a term. Secondly,under this hypothetical, you're saying you support that if someone starts a fight, it's ok to kill their kids?

I would imagine so, he's polling so badly it's perceived to be having a negative effect on Trump, too. Robinson was polling in the mid 30s at one point, not sure about now, and Harris was polling very competitively with Trump. I think it's a fair assumption to make that he was pulling Trump down, somewhat like Mastriano was perceived to have done in PA.

Sure, I suppose. I would probably use the term "cunning" more than ingenious, just for connotations purposes.

Great. There are still actual children dead. So, no, I won't applaud.

No, I don't tend to applaud when children die.

A bold strategy! When you combine this with the concept of a plan that is percolating in Trump's brain for the last 9 years, this is going to be a doozy. https://www.axios.com/2024/09/17/trump-drug-prices-gop-concerns

Now nobody ask how these deductions got removed....

No easier mark then a particular strand of crypto bro.

I think there's a pretty big disconnect between most high level athletes (at least American athletes) and "mature perspective."

I know you're not quoting me, but yes, they're distinct as they're the one that attacked him, so they're the fanbase to which he is responding. He's not saying they're the only fanbase who ever ahs acted the fool, but they're the ones who reacted that way to him, and I think the only time I can remember him being booed was by them.

Burroughs experience is just that: his experience. There's obviously some inherent subjectivity to how each individual experiences what is happening in a situation. I do tend to agree w/ WKN that this is at least partially a Jordanesque self-motivation technique, but there also seems to be legitimately bad blood that goes back years, mostly from PSU and their alumni finally feeling like they have a leg up in this competition after years of Burroughs dominating them (and everybody). I'll say this, his perception of how he feels the fanbase treated him is likely not limited to just the OTT, but also includes that as the biggest data point; it's also where he suffered the greatest "embarrassment" of not even making it to the Best of 3, so that probably heightened how he experienced everything. The fanbase has the right to feel and act how they want, but he has a right to call them out. It's all shades of gray and opinions around "propriety." As long as nobody threatened or touched him, I have no objection to people reacting however they want to react, but we as a larger group (and Burroughs as arguably our greatest champion) have the right to criticize and mock them for the behavior.

Starocci was out there talking crap, too.
