    I like this court. Good focus on the actual constitution and a couple of crazy lefties who allow us to see the bullets we dodged by electing Trump.

    What are we going to do?  When half the country has a deeply vested interest in massively flawed leaders, we can’t even have a logical discussion about whether an octogenarian should ever be the chief executive of anything they don’t directly own.

    Biden is deep into mental and physical decline, and that’s perfectly natural for a guy his age. You know what else is perfectly natural for a guy his age?

    Retirement.

    Of all the places to choose to be a charlatan, the bottom of the ocean seems like the worst choice possible.

    [quote quote=7409]The U.S. doesn’t have a race problem. The U.S. has an entitled mentality asshole problem. The Supremes made a big step to de-institutionalize it this week. All my Nigerian friends come here, thrive, and love the U.S.A. Many have privately confided they see a lot of B.S. in the racial narratives played by various “leaders” and the media.[/quote]

     

    For what it’s worth; that’s the race problem I’m talking about. You can’t look at the Floyd riots and say we don’t have a race problem. It’s just that it’s not the problem as DC defines it.

    The French have a race problem that is bigger than the US’s. They just sweep it under the carpet.

    I heard about that quote but didn’t think it could be real.

    Truly unbelievable turn of events. On one hand Putin deserves it.  On the other it’s not clear what a true coup leads to. It’s not at all clear the bolsheviks were better than the czars.

    [quote quote=7369]…or ban race-based affirmative actions in college admissions, almost certainly by Friday, June 30. Dems have to be careful here, they could alienate Hispanic and Asian voters. Most higher echelon colleges (think top twenty) have broadly diverse student populations. Stanford’s undergraduate caucasian population is less than half that represented in the broader overall population.[/quote]

    Less than half what population, mick? Stanford is filthy with global citizens who no longer care about representing American interests.

    If history is an indicator, colleges will lower standards for all applicants in order to admit whomever they like in the interest of “inclusion.”  Think “test optional” these days.

    in reply to: Hunter Biden #7365

    All this was predictable. The beat goes on.

    As I understand it, Hunter had not reported $3 million of income.

    Think about that for a moment… a drug addicted, out of work son of a politician ends up with more than 3 million of unreported cash. And that’s what the IRS knows about.  I fear that we view politicians as somehow deserving to be rich and famous. And we give them and their families a free pass for the grift.

    I am way more concerned about politicians and their families selling us out for personal gain than I am some of the more “serious” charges like classified docs in a former office holder’s garage or hotel room.

    Follow the money.  And I mean this in a bipartisan way. Jared what’s his names deal with the saudis is sketchy as all get out.

    Modelo being number one was a big surprise to me when I saw it this weekend. I will confess that as a fairly steady beer drinker when I’m not trying to diet, Modelo especial wins on taste. I started drinking modelo occasionally a few years back and actually enjoy it.  I mainly stock Miller lite as my go to water beer, but Modelo is on my go to list.

    Mick you nailed it with the comment on hiring. It’s amazing to me how an ivy degree is somehow seen as a signal for wisdom. Heinerschneid’s interview, given just before the blow up, really sounds and looks out of touch. When you sell average piss beer behind a brand that was built on guy comedy and “dilly dilly,” you don’t go try to steer that ship toward things that make your core consumer uneasy. I would bet a lot of people buy Bud Light BECAUSE it’s fratty and connected to silly dude behavior.

    I think I wrote this earlier in this thread, but I don’t think the bulk of the protest is about LGB issues.  It’s about Dylan M.  The person has and promotes behaviors that most mainstream adults would find abhorrent if they were in their own homes.  SHe’s 30 and prances around acting like a little girl, which, even if she were female, would be weird. That she is a Male doing this and promoting it broadly is scary to far more people than is polite to admit.

    Bud Light was tacked to a character that was a lightning rod already, and is paying for it. It could actually kill the brand. That’s just crazy to contemplate.

    Things appear to be going according to plan if you ask me. Equality of squalor for all.

    I don’t think it’s even close to over. As this economic pinch sets in even more people are going to be looking to exit blue heaven for red freedoms.

    it’s amazing how much California’s  leadership has taken for granted. Newsome is a numbskull.

    When you need to reassign that certain someone but they are protected from on high, the answer is “restructure.”

    Sometimes it’s clear that there is no difference between the federal bureaucracy and the mafia.

    Too many artificial capital controls not to mention the whole totalitarian state thing.  The world should be looking to contain China, not let it metastasize.
