Of course. All the blue areas are pursuing more draconian lockdowns and, of course, many of them have much higher representation of blacks vs whites. In other words: thanks Dems!
Crazy how they can reinforce their own narratives and their constituents don’t even notice.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think he has no good choice. Of course, that often happens when you artificially narrow the candidate pool by selecting on race and gender.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Saw this. My thoughts exactly. People are destroying parts of his city and he’s worried they are being used as pawns by the president. That says it all.
It’s almost as if he only cares about the politics. The feds reached a deal to withdraw and these rioters are still going. It was all about Trumps troops. Now what is it?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1790]Personally, I unequivocally support Truman’s decision. Nonetheless I think any opportunity to reflect on the horrors associated with armed conflict is a good thing. Our values and past experiences should be a continuing focus for thoughtful reflection. Our experiences in the subsequent 75 years confirm the importance of self reflection…so we can dismiss those who sing “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, or suggest we need to keep troops in Syria.[/quote]
Sure, reflect on it, but don’t let people second guess the decision so aggressively as to vilify the decision makers. That’s the game these days: Lodge criticism from the comfy position provided by those whom you critique.
A “dark day” which actually and directly led to the end of the war. That’s lame.
A “dark day” would have been the day the U.S. decided it lacked the guts to go for the jugular with nukes and just continued to bleed marines and army guys island hopping up to Japan. The Japanese were not going to surrender without a 2X4 to the head. It was never going to happen. Experiences in countless island campaigns proved that: Tarawa, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, etc.
Don’t forget that the Japanese leaders had days between the dropping of the Hiroshima bomb and the Nagasaki bomb…days in which they decided to endure nuclear bombing and continue the war effort. These guys weren’t going to stop easily, and even after they did stop, they only claimed to have stopped to save overall humanity.
In other words: Dear revisionists: Don’t try to piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Darkest day? Shit we lit that place up like Vegas.
It is to laugh.
Ask the Chinese whether the Japanese “did anything wrong” in wwii…
Or the residents of Pearl Harbor…
Or the veterans of Bataan…
Or the denizens of countless Japanese prison camps…
revisionist history is dangerous. I would have dropped the bomb without remorse…so would Japan.
To quote Obama: “We won!”

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1744]From the end of 2019 season to start of 2021 season. OMG, if we start counting seasons since we’ve had a high powered quality team….2015? Heard the Bill Walsh family wants his body moved to midfield at Stanford Stadium. Bill’s last wish was to be buried as far away from college football as possible.[/quote]
Rimshot.
Ok. I get it. I am suspecting we will see a suspension of this season as well, but wasn’t sure I missed the announcement.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Agree. I even got a chuckle at his spokesman role in promoting awareness of diebeetus.

the YouTube view counter shows zero views. I’m sure just another accidental algorithm bug that just happens to avoid publicizing popularity of this video.

Yeah, but to look at the murder accusations against Trump on this one you wouldn’t know it.
It’s fair to say he could have been more careful, but damn at the politics on this one.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The Dems have framed Barr as a Trump minion. To let him speak and show how good he actually is would be to go against that framing.
I came away from the hearings impressed with Barr. He has a grasp on the legal and political realities and I think he’s the right guy for the moment.
The Democrats are at one of those dangerous political moments where they are living only by outrage, and outrage can backfire quickly. The republicans were there in the TEA party days of ‘09 and in the blow job days of ‘98.
The core issue the Dems have is they lack the moral high ground. They had it at the moment George Floyd’s murder became real, and lost it as the rioting intensified without rejoinder in their domains.
