Do you just make things up and pretend they're real?

Watch out indeed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/fox8.com/news/88-children-removed-from-iowa-church-camp-in-abuse-probe/amp/

Pretty much everyone I know who lives there considers him a payaso. A clown.

Soonest for us is next year. Hopefully by then we are better off as a country , but I'm not optimistic. I've already been looking at rentals/real estate where we'd go.

It's like watching a gambling addict blow their paycheck. Everything he does is something he's complained or criticized other people for doing, or wanting to do. It's never *HIS* fault, it's always somebody else.

I've been in LA a few days. Literally nothing is going on that indicated there was anything close to an insurrection. I've barely seen any police either. This whole thing was overblown.

Even before all of this it's something we wanted to do. I have friends who left the US to go and they have a better quality of life there. There is also very little chance of a terrorist attack, and a lot more things that make the move there and attractive option. Not to mention my wife's family has zero intention or interest in moving to America. So we'd be closer to them. I also have cousins who live in Europe who are citizens of both EU and non EU countries, and are intending to stay there and not return to the US. I have minimal ties here too. Most of my family around me is deceased, and I am adaptable with work. There's definitely trade offs but I feel that my physical and mental health would be better there, among other reasons. One of my friends who lives in the area we're looking at, I've known him since high school and I asked him what the biggest culture shock was, and he told me it was realizing how awful living in America was by comparison.

I'm concerned this is going to escalate and badly.

I'm eligible for citizenship in the EU. I just never exercised it. I'm going to soon.

Trying to go to war with Iran even if they didn't have nukes would be a terrible idea for so many reasons.

This is a really bad idea. All they're doing is just going to be framed as an anti Muslim war and it is going to get ugly. This is why I wish we were able to move back to Europe.

I already had my right one done. And it was 20 years ago when I thought I was done wrestling ever again. It's never caused a problem since. The left one is a huge mess of everything. I'm scheduling it this coming week.

If I was in better shape and didn't need knee and shoulder surgery I'd go upper body and try to surprise him with a throw from an odd position. That'd be my only chance.

There's no way anyone with more than two brain cells wouldn't think we were behind it if we actually did this. The reason I mentioned the Flying Tigers was because that is exactly what we did to Japan in the late 30's by allowing Army Air pilots and crew to resign and "volunteer" under Claire Chennault in China. Everyone knew exactly what we were doing.

Have you suffered a head injury recently?

She was pretty good in Congo. Which is available for free on YouTube.

I don't think a repeat of the Flying Tigers would be such a good idea.

I think Scout is only capable of reading and repeating what he sees on Twitter. That explains why he doesn't make a lot of sense usually.

Jim Jordan came off looking like a real assbag. Lied about knowing, then suggested the wrestlers were wrong and lying, then still admitted to admit he was wrong.

You are aware the judge who made this ruling was appointed in 1986 right?

That was a different story. It was widely accepted he did beat up a heckler who had lost part of his hands in an industrial accident. This game was set in New York City at Hilltop Park which was opened in 1903, hosting the Highlanders until October of 1912, sitting in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. On this particular Wednesday at Hilltop Park, Ty Cobb lunged into the stands and physically attacked one of the New York fans; a man by the name of Claude Lucker. Apparently, Cobb was familiar with this fan, who he claimed in his memoirs, “had ridden me hard in past New York appearances.” During the May 15 game, Cobb and Lucker reportedly exchanged insults and it go so bad after the second inning that it caused Cobb to stay in an area beyond center field rather than return to the dugout. But the time came when it was Cobb’s turned to bat, so he had to return to the dugout to get ready for his plate appearance in the fourth inning. Upon entering the dugout, Cobb shot off an insult at Lucker while Lucker continued to insult and taunt Cobb. When asked by one of his teammates what he was going to do about the heckling fan, Ty Cobb leaped into the stands and went after Lucker, who was about 12 rows back. Cobb persisted to knock Lucker down and began kicking and punching him. Making matters worse, Claude Lucker was a man who had lost eight fingers due to an industrial accident and was limited in his ability to defend himself against Cobb’s attack. Fans yelled to Cobb “He has no hands!”, but Cobb replied, “ I don’t care if he has no feet,” as he continued to punch and kick him until the two men were separated.

People in sports talk trash and will find anything they can to do it. The racial stuff goes both ways. We just don't hear it much because in most sports, fans aren't close enough to see or hear. A guy who goes to the same gym as I do played offensive line in the NFL for a number of years. He doesn't get into specifics, but he says there is a lot of NSFW talk going on down there that few people ever hear. He did say one of his teammates was mic'd up for a game and he figured out how to break it when he realized they would hear everything he said. It's just a part of sports where millions of dollars are at stake. So even if that is what she said, it's not exactly surprising. Athletes sometimes take exception to things said, like Ron Artest, or Vernon Maxwell. Even hall of famer Ty Cobb beat up a handicapped man who had the audacity to suggest that Cobb and or his mom might have been partially black. Ultimately these kinds of things are rarely a big deal until punches get thrown.
