VIKINGS NEWS – New QB does not pretends to not throw a baseball very well to not embarrass his teammate. That’s one hell of a leader AND At least he was working on a Tuesday.
NFL News – Nope

I just learned all about taking ‘hard drives’ out of old computers.
The Teacher spend 3hrs trying to boot up the first of her two old computers and wipe as much off the drives as possible. She couldn’t get that 1st computer to work long enough to ‘geterdone’.
Last night I watch Youtube videos and learned how to remove hard drives, then removed the 1st one, although I dented the computer a bit in the process. This morning I removed the 2nd one before The Teacher even woke up, no denting occurred.
Now she will send the two to recycling and give the hard drives to her son (IT type) to wipe/dispose of. Easier to transport just the hard drive then the whole computer ‘tower’.
Just do this…
We were ready, willing and equipped to going that route.
But the first video showing us how to take them out was just 1m 14s long and a lot of that was the introduction.
Hers was configured a bit differently inside, hence the denting, but took less than 5 min. This mornings removal was even quicker.
I have to watch 10 hours of “Health Equity” Training over the next few weeks.
I just started. It is obvious to me it is socialist/Marxist crap.
Its going to take be 20 hours since I am taking the time to write up my objections with every Marxist or Socialist idea that comes up.
I may well get fired at the end of all this since I will share my objections openly in my company.
I went out and bought some Voda and Bloody Mary Mix to try to get through this process, no one else is in the office on Fridays…..
The Teacher when she was required to log in and watch training videos for the 20th+ time would just start them and then do something else.
She knew the answers that they wanted so the tests were no problem. She hated ‘cheating’ but not as much as sitting thru the BS training once again.
What is “health equity?”
Health Equity is the concept that health care should be structured in such a way that every individual achieves their highest level of health that they can.
Contained in the DNA of Health Equity is the belief that the actual Health Care system itself is racist and discriminatory and that society is also racist and discriminatory and these factors lead to lower levels of “Health” for “oppressed” minorities…therefore resources need to be expended (given to) in support of the oppressed populations to enable their Health status to be the same as the evangelical, nuclear family, white individual.
For example, in North Dakota the LGBTQ+ population has lower health insurance rates than the evil, straight, white people – this causes poorer access to health care and worse health outcomes.
Now, of course it is likely because trany people are nuts and can’t hold a job, but that is beside the point.
‘of course it is likely because trany people are nuts’
Rec for truthiness.
Strong and in Charge.
First Questions in the debate from CNN.
Mr President: Please spell “cat” ( hint, there’s no k).
Mr Former President” Please spell ” supercalifragist……..).
No doubt FJB has the questions already (CNN is hosting) and is just memorizing the answers.
They will have him drugged up so he stays aware and doesn’t freeze up.
The fake news will call that a win no matter what Trump does.
Anyone got any electrical knowledge?
I have a strange situation – there is a 20A GFCI outlet on my front porch. I can plug string lights into it with no problem, and the first couple years we lived there we could plug our 19′ camper in to cool the fridge and get it ready for a weekend.
Lately, when we plug the camper in the outlet trips immediately – I can still use it for the string lights though.
I was thinking it was the camper, but the camper never trips any other outlets, just that one.
Anyone have any thoughts on it? I’m planning on replacing the outlet after work.
I know enough about electricity to know that I don’t know enough about electricity to do more than plug something in and reset a breaker every decade or so.
Doubt that helps very much but I felt you deserved a response, even if a not very good one. Hope someone smart comes along soon with a more better answer for you.
It sounds like you are trying the right solution.
The wiring could also be bad.
Yup
My dad had a similar issue – basically just wind and rain had eroded the outlet and it would trip every time. Replacing it outright should do it.
Sounds like a ground/neutral fault. The camper doesn’t trip other GFCIs?
Nope. Uh….well we now plug it into a garage outlet to prep it, no GFCIs there so you may be on to something…….
But, when we camp somewhere it never trips.
Ah. I’d just change out the GFCI. Wires corrode over time, can cause a minor imbalance in resistance.
I see that the Levi Rodriguez dude is listed as #2 nose tackle. I really do hope he pans out and is something special…I am not a 3 – 4 defensive genius, but I thought in the 3 – 4 defense you needed really big dudes to play NT, Levi is a bulked up 300, played college at 280. My fear is he could be a little light.
I guess Bullard, our #1 NT, is only listed at 295. I guess you don’t need to be massive to play NT.
‘Only thing better than a good little man is a good big man.’
I guess smaller will work if given enough strength and ability to use leverage.
Size no doubt helps but may not be the ‘be all, end all’ of the options.
Sweat would have been perfect but he was taken 38th overall so wouldn’t have even made it to #42 if we had kept our original pick.
More fun then even arguing with Edge about Holidays…
I have spent time and effort trying to explain to a business person who should know better that if you loan money to another business it does not hit your books as an expense.
Like George Carlin said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Might hit the income statement if it isn’t repaid.
Yep, “Bad Debt Expense”
Anniversary of his death is tomorrow….
Unfortunately too many small business owners are just “salesmen” and don’t understand how a business runs. If you don’t know how a business runs, you either need to get more education or surround yourself with people that have the necessary skill sets. Loans are a balance sheet item.
YES!!!! Loans are a balance sheet item!!! Not an expense.
i just let the write off people deal with it all
Correct.
Depending on the loan term, you may be able to expense interest.
There is no such thing as an interest free loan.
I’m very politically incorrect…I have other names for the Juneteenth holiday such as Minnesota Mayhem, BLM day, George Floyd day, etc…as I stated I look forward to additional social justice platforms that rise to the level of Federal holidays that we non government employees get to pay taxes for the Federal employees holiday pay. MLK Jr day comes to mind, I love the inspirational messages the hospital sends out on that day, which is not a holiday. Good Friday not to be left out either.
MT rant over.
I see charges pro-Palestinian at Columbia to be dropped, some assaulting police. When will people are held accountable for their actions? Country is out of control.
Briben needs the terrorist vote.
Violent crime walks the streets. Oh wait, FBI says it’s down.
If out there MT, cheering hard tomorrow for Oil and make best of one.
LOL. I saw a female swimmer broke a record without a penis.
some of those women swimmers are rough looking – with or without.
This trans shit is wearing me out. I’m old school. And old.
Twinks kicked again. Back to losing streak.
Not sure how many of you use Google Calendars as your default Calendar on your phones, but you may have noticed that if you have default settings set, that Google thought they would think for us and added non primary Holidays to your calendar by default so, “Start of Asian Awareness Month, Juneteenth, Start of Pride month” etc. basically all the bs that’s being forced down our gullets. If you only want to see normal Holidays, you can sign into your google account on a web browser, go to calendar, click on the 3 dots next to Holidays in the US, click on settings, click the drop down on Holiday Calendar content and set it to Public Holidays only. Go back to your phone and refresh your calendar and all the dumb Woke things will now be gone. This is the only way to get rid of it, thanks google. You’re welcome.
Thanks, But I use a Norman Rockwell paper one that’s enjoyable to look at and works well.
You carry that around with you?
I don’t carry anything around with me. Once I see the day in the morning why would I need to look again anyways
“Normal holidays” that’s racist
I’ll bare that cross lol
I don’t believe in calendars. If the event is not important enough for me to remember it, then I’m not going!
which is why you are always at my posh birthday parties at my lavish lakehouse
You are up on the hill freeze. I know.
Just so you’re aware Juneteenth is more of an accurate holiday than Christmas on December 25th. All those Christmas traditions of a tree, yule log, Jesus born on the 25th… All borrowed (stolen) from pagan traditions. At least Juneteenth is a historically accurate date! I can absolutely get behind not wanting shit forced down your gullet, 100% behind that notion… But I have a feeling you don’t actually care otherwise you’d also be irritated with Christmas and other holidays you celebrate being on there as well. I understand Christmas is a federal holiday, but I am sure you are irritated that that day being forced down people’s gullets as 1 specific religious holiday bothers you right? I’m betting you don’t care about stuff being forced down gullets. You don’t like it if it’s not your agenda being the only agenda forced down gullets…
Gosh, that’s a hard ass take. I’ll let Fkey respond. But if he doesn’t perhaps I can get back to you later.
Hint: Declaration of Independence was signed on the 4th of July.
“wasn’t signed.”
It just gets old. I wish people believed what they said. I too hate stuff I don’t believe in stuffed down my throat but that means even if it’s stuff I believe in or celebrate I wouldn’t want it stuffed down everyone else’s throat. I’m cool with Juneteenth, I don’t like celebrating pride of any circumstance of birth like race, color, sexual orientation but I can’t say that as a straight white guy lol. If it’s OK to raise and lift something up that’s a circumstance of birth then it should also be OK to put down and ridicule a circumstance of birth. We all know it’s wrong to shit on someone for a circumstance of birth because it’s not something someone had any control over… Exactly why it’s silly to have pride in something you have no control over. I’m not proud to be an American… I feel lucky to be an American. I am proud of our men and women in uniform… They actually did shit, something to actually be proud of lol.
Well you’ve said a lot here and it’s late – for me. We probably see “pride” differently. For example, I no longer have control over my grown children, but when they do something ‘special’, I’m proud of them. and I’m proud to be an American and like to think in some small way I helped a little. Nothing great, but did my part.
I appreciate small things – like being a good father and husband, and neighbor, are huge with me.
Oh well, we can talk more later.
Clearly you don’t even know what you are talking about.
There is no exact date even known of Jesus’ birth.
It’s been debated by scholars.
Just because the date isn’t proven, doesn’t mean it didn’t occur.
Doesn’t even matter what day it officially happened.
Jesus’ life is historically proven to have occurred and celebrating his birth is historically accurate, regardless of the official day.
Well said – much better than I did chasing to many other rabbits.
Thanks
Here is one theory for you:
RIP Ronald. Somehow I never knew he was Keifer Sutherland’s dad. I might have put 2 and 2 together had I known his name was Donald Sutherland.
RIP
This is how old I am.
I mostly remember him as Hawkeye in the movie MASH.
Am I correct on that?
.
Yes, he was in the MASH movie, I don’t remember which character he was. I generally enjoyed his acting, but not his politics. Plus he was Canadian so there is that.
Hawkeye Pierce
I’m pretty sure he was Hawkeye.
Elliott Gould played Trapper in the movie.
Most folks in Hollywood are off the edge.
Since he is from Canada, he has an excuse I guess.
Gotta watch those Canucks. They’re a different breed.
I’m not racist, I hate Canadians too.
Exactly.
He was awesome in Kelly’s Heroes
And about the Dirty Dozen at the same time.
And kids these days only know him from the Hunger Games.
Yeah, I’m guessing all 3 of my kids know him from hunger games
RIP – I’ll remember him as the sadistic warden Drumgoole in the Stallone movie ‘Lock Up’.
Great movie, great actor.
He played some great roles. Remember Kelly’s Heroes or Animal House? Great stuff.
RIP.
I totally forgot about animal house. I love that movie.
Great movie! But that’s not Donald Sutherland. That’s Bruce McGill – Sutherland played the hippy pot smoking professor that stole Boone’s girlfriend….
Kellys what i think. “Why don’t you knock it off with those negative waves?”.
He and Don Rickles played great roles.
Yep, LOL
I guess DJT is now winning by 1 point in MN if you include all candidates on the ballot.
Levi Drake Rodriguez, DL, 232nd pick, is turning coaches heads at camp. 6’4″ 300 lbs. Thought you guys would like to know.
Dunka
Danke
Off topic, i know. Thought i’d toss in a football comment. I don’t have a deck, porch or patio.
Maybe the 2nd coming of Jon Randle…..
If Shannahan can take the last person selected and make him a starting QB, can’t we expect Flores to turn Levi into a starting DL.
Ok, off to the dump.
This is trip #5 for those who are following along.
Have at least one more, maybe more.
Wifes tax forms?
A big part of it, lots of forms, paperwork from her desk/filing cabinet.
In your area do you have to pay$ to use dump?
Not if you are local and it is ‘household’ trash.
You’re getting good at this. There’s big money in the junk business.
I can see that if you are willing to put in the time and effort.
We don’t have the time currently, just over 2 weeks left, and our efforts are more geared to getting to Idaho.
Like she is donating some old albums, ‘The White Album’ was one of them, maybe 20 total but all original for the 70s. She is just not interested in going thru the work for a few dollars.
Throwing away some old comics?
Only have the few and they are going with us.
In honor of pride month…if you haven’t watched this yet you need to.
Woke Jesus (youtube.com)
Funny stuff !
I guess it’s only fair?
What if I claim my gender to be neither male nor female?
I’d suggest immigrants serve 4 years before being considered for citizenship. Think i’ll run on this platform for November.
I actually would be o.k. with that. If you serve 4 years in the armed forces and are discharged honorably…I am o.k. with you moving to the front of the line.
Life requires responsibilities in this country. The number of people who do it seem to be dwindling.
that’s a good idea.
Logical, is it not? Housing, food and health care.
Myself and quite a few others I know – we got our asses straightened out in the service.
Looking around, would do wonders for a great many.
Amen Brother.
I often thought that if military service was mandatory it would fix a lot of people.
But it is mandatory in Germany and there are a lot of abuses of the system and it is very watered down.
Oh and they have alternate options for public service.
I’m ok with mandatory. You don’t like the military recreate a Peace Corp or TVA type organizations for public service.
And – do something FOR your country before you start asking for stuff.
What a radical thought.
When i grew up and done with schooling i got a job and paid taxes. Had i known, i would have waited.
Work and support yourself – that’s a novel idea too.
Don’t like politicians in general, but i hate this admin.
nah. i don’t think i want immigrants serving in our military.
i want people who aren’t afraid to put their life on the line for our country.
The only reason I would not want every immigrant serving, is if they are just there to get citizenship they are putting their fellow combatants in danger, in the case of war.
But, if they are willing to put their lives on the line, they could be moved up in the citizenship rankings.
Yeah, I was pondering that take.
I’m not sure how committed they would be to fight in a war that isn’t for their country.
Joe will prob defund the military anyways to buy more votes.
It’s the military. You’re there, you don’t get a lot of choices and nobody cares how you feel. You dol your job or your buddies will kill you.
Just read Vikings lead the league in arrests with 55. Nice to be #1 at something, i guess…
That must be some sort of timeline thing on this stat.
I don’t recall any Viking getting arrested recently except Addison for speeding.
LAST YEAR.
It just depicted a number with no time frame so not sure.
Ok.
Like 10-15 years ago, the Vikings had plenty of arrests.
So if they are including things from decades ago, it makes sense.
I want to see a comparison for number of charges, amounts of fines and time served/sentenced. I think the Patriots lose.
I don’t know, if they include the Love Boat incident, that might be an insurmountable number to overcome.
Were they actually arrested for that?
Or just detained for questioning and then cited/ticketed.
Don’t know.
But the list includes Addison, who wasn’t arrested, so I’m guessing it’s any law broken.
I figured ‘all time’ but that might be a low number for that.
Of course ‘arrests’ does not equal ‘cited’ or ‘detained’ so maybe.
Was he arrested?
Or cited, detained and released?
Don’t remember the details.
I think he was taken to the police station and booked on felony wreckless speeding. Is that an arrest, detained, cited ???????????
140 mph was it? WTF?
His dog was in trouble dude.
Oh yeah, forgot that. LMFAO.
I guess I’m not sure he was officially brought to the PD station.
Clearly a lack of leadership on Cousins part. Did he really try to get those troubled young men to come to his Bible Study?? Likely not. He bears the weight for this purple stain.
LOL. Was going to mention that but not Tuesday.
Well, his only day off to hold such a group is a Tuesday, but he refuses to do any work on his sabbath. So it’s not his fault.
It’s since 2000.
It includes Addison and Wes Phillips.
https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/05/06/jacksonville-jaguars-4th-most-arrests-nfl-since-2000-study-says/73586843007/
Football players do seem to be a bit shy on the brain department.
That might be considered racist given the “owner”/player relationship.
Stirring the pot then i’ll leave.
So like most things today the definitions are important.
Addison was not ‘Arrested’ per the report you cited.
Don’t know about Wes or most of the 60 that they referenced now.
Correct, but they included it as an “arrest”.
So It sounds like ANY infraction with the law.
Edge:
I had my birthday the other day and went to a running coach class. That was a bit…sobering. But in the long run, it is really not that complicated. I think I will just focus on upping my cadence, which will probably cure a lot.
My cadence is very low, like 144 average.
As a bigger man yourself, do you know your average cadence?
Is a ‘running coach class’ a class for running coaches?
When prepping for and then running my marathon the best thing I learned was to run ‘heel to toe’ when running distance (not sprints). Thinking of your foot like a wheel and making your stride smooth and easy and not jarring.
Given the miles involved it helped with the amount of energy I put out and helped to reduce injuries caused by ‘pounding the pavement’.
No, it was a class put on by a running coach. He is a sports trainer. He just ran a 100-mile ultra in Wisconsin, so he is a pretty serious runner.
My main issue is that I have a slight overstride that is putting on the brakes a bit with each step. It is not an extreme overstride, but it would be useful to correct, I think. That would also push my cadence up by bringing my front step back a little bit.
I was going to practice last night, but my wife decided she wanted to fight, so…
I found I ‘over pronate’ aka run on the outsides of my feet.
Trying to center my stride helped make my stride easy and was better for my knees.
I have to concentrate to do it, it dd not come naturally to me.
I can see that ‘overstrides’ could interrupt the smooth gait and ‘put a hitch in your giddy up’.
I kind of drag my my left foot so it basically stomps every stride. It is very painful on the leg and lower back. I have to concentrate on how I step and flex my ankle.
“Fight”, suuurrreeee.
She kicked his ass.
Remember the Bare Naked Ladies? I heard them on the radio today for the first time in forever. They were everywhere there for a bit and then promptly disappeared. I don’t even hear them played on the “classic” stations much. Today was the first time in years.
They were kind of fun, but that fun aspect also made them kind of annoying. You know, the, hey, look at us, we are quirky schlubs! thing…
Funny story. I once wrote a girl on the Internet Personal Ads who said she partied in a van with them. She also said she worked for the Vikings organization. Could she have been making all of that up?
Probably…but making up a story that you partied with the Bare Naked Ladies before they were famous and worked for the Vikings is kind of a sad, sad story…
Saw them in 98 or 99 – Tenacious D opened with Dave Grohl on drums. Great show.
Love the take up top about JJ’s bad baseball throw…he is indeed a hell of a leader. I would call him Cousin-esk.
Incoming – hit the foxholes!!!
speaking of “incoming, hit the foxholes”
started re-watching band of brothers…
the episode in bastogne, has got to be one of the hardest ones to watch.
Airborne – tough, tough dudes.
Agreed.
Listening to them tell stores of all things that have gone wrong on their jumps is pretty amazing.
And then to go back up and do it again and again. Brave or stupid? I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
The one that focuses on the First Sergeant (Donnie Wahlberg) was hard to watch. The level of responsibility that was put on his shoulders, it was incredible he didn’t crack.
I’d say Cousins is McCarthy-esk.
Cousins leadership was bland generic, coached, canned phrases and came off robotic and lacking raw emotion and superficial. JJs seems authentic, candid, confident and something you can actually get behind and holds weight. At least in interviews. He’s himself, hes not spewing PR. There is a difference. Thats just me though. Will see if it translates to the NFL field and locker room.
I could see Cousins going into politics after he retires from the NFL. He is very good at saying what people want to hear.
Correct.
I want to retire a Redskin
I want to retire a Viking
I want to retire a Falcon
It’s not about the money.
Vikings fans just ate this stuff up.
Anyone get Juneteenth off?
By happenstance, I needed something from my brick and mortar bank (based in Billings – nearest branch in Sidney 50 miles away) and called them for assistance, and they were closed for the holiday. That annoyed me…went to a local brick and mortar bank and they took care of me, and said they’d be happy to be my bank. Free enterprise at work.
I can’t wait for First American and Pride bank holidays.
I didn’t even realize it was Juneteenth, so I will report to the nearest reeducation camp to correct this oversight.
You should definitely move your money….support the un-woke whenever you can.
According to Edge the fact that you use ‘woke’ means that you are ‘stupid or brainwashed’. That is a right wing buzzword ‘dontchaknow’.
As far as woke goes, after I thought about it for a while, I’m ok with a holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in our country. A whole month to celebrate mental illness, that i am not ok with.
Here’s the kicker on the Juneteenth holiday.
Evil and racist Texas has been celebrating this holiday since like 1979 or something.
Juneteenth saw the last of the slaves liberated. That happened in Texas. That’s why it has mostly been a regional holiday and why my mom knew about it (she grew up in East Texas). The majority of the slaves had been liberated prior to Juneteenth.
I have no problem with Juneteenth, it just celebrates when word of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas.
I really have little problem with most of the ‘woke’ stuff people want to do, if they are consenting adults and not wasting my tax $$.
Insisting that I have to agree, celebrate, participate, support their ideas or I am a ‘nazi, white supremist, moron, deployable, racist, fascist, etc, etc. Now that I have issues with.
I will repost here.
Edge – ? According. to that great ‘great right wing nut’ Bill Maher a lot of the woke ideas are just plain stupid.
And he’s not wrong. I watch Maher every week and have since he got booted from ABC. He’s one of the only shows that actually fosters debate. I like that he’ll have politically polar opposite views on his show. It’s not an echo chamber.
He’s for sure liberal and has been forever. But he is unafraid to call out the craziness from the far left ( and of course, will do so for the right as well).
He recently said – when something is stupid it is just stupid.
100% liberal – and often says so as he gets accused of ‘turning’ by the left all the time. We need more like him – people that will foster debate and not division.
I could have a beer with Maher and converse, doubt we’d agree on much. On the other hand Joy Behar and her ilk, I could not.
Agreed.
There is a difference between ‘discussions, debates, disagreements, and fights’.
Some think if you ‘disagree that means you have to fight’. Something my ‘ex’ loved to do. With The Teacher we discuss and occasionally debate.
He even showed up on Gutfeld to promote a book.
They had a discussion, debate, conversation and mostly agreed to disagree.
And he appeared on the View and actually tore the gals up some and their BS.
He is constituent in his believes, he does have TDS but understands why people support him.
He for sure has TDS and it seems to mostly center around the idea that if Trump is elected he will never leave office – the old end of democracy stuff. Would think he’d be smarter.
That argument always kills me…Lets see, he was in office and did leave office (kicking and screaming, but he left).
Not to mention the fact that we don’t live in a democracy so there is no democracy to save.
That’s right we live in a banana republic, I mean a constitutional republic.
The left constantly spouting that it is a democracy is a ploy to try and turn it into an actual democracy so they will be in sole power for the rest of time.
Their goal is a 1 party system. Translation. Socialism. How many times must you say, (Eventually you run out of other peoples money)
If you run out of money, just print more, duh. Easy peasy.
Na must keep up appearances – a Left Party and a Further Left Party.
I saw that episode. Gutfeld spent WAY too much time on his monologue. They should have used a lot more time for debate and much less on the lead-in and monologues. Maher even broke in at one point and asked “Does anyone else get to speak on this show?”.
Agreed,
Gutfelds jokes get ‘out there’ sometimes.
But humor is not suppose to be ‘friendly’ all the time. Gutfelds believes that public persons need to be ‘stress tested’ and not sit in a bubble, protected like a snowflake.
He cracks on himself as well as everyone else so I am wiling to give him the benefit of the doubt..
Yep, I enjoy Gutfeld and his jokes. It is just that on this episode he spent way too much time on his lead-ins, which wasted a lot of time that should have been used for debate. Other than that, it was a very good episode.
I’m not a fan. Waters is funnier and Gutfeld just bugs me for some reason.
He is an acquired taste no doubt.
I couldn’t watch him initially but he as grown on me a bit. I still cringe occasionally watching his show.
He is better on The Five I think.
A few of his jokes ‘miss the mark with me’ but that is probably just a ‘me thing’.
Many of them are celebrity oriented and I seldom follow those so I don’t ‘get them’, again a ‘me thing’.
Oh Edge doesn’t believe in ‘woke ideas’ or ‘right wing’ ones either.
He is too smart for that he just likes to sit back and attack all of us. Don’t offer viable solutions just likes to prove he is smarter than the rest of us.
I try to stay away from discussing politics with him, so it is normally fine but when he goes off on one of my posts I feel required to reply at least once.
I really have no idea what he really believes in. But usually, it is easier to be a contrarian and poke holes in others ideas than present and take the incoming.
But to each their own.
I believe we are being taken advantage of and pitted against one another so those dirt bags in power don’t have to contend with we the people since we the people are too busy fighting one another. That’s not contrarian to anything but the system in place set up to keep us at one another’s throat. That apparently you guys have become so dependent on that me saying we should say what we really mean instead of using hijacked words like “woke” which at this point means nothing other than “I’m programmed or too lazy” to use any other word is threatening to that divisive system you guys love so much.
What word is allowed to be used to describe a group of people who want to be offended at everything that doesn’t fit their view and wants to penalize you if you don’t conform to what they want?
Idiot?
Nazi?
Freak?
Censoror?
Socialist?
That’s in the running.
Might be too “programmed or lazy” of a word for Slusher though.
Migrants that include thugs, thieves and murderers and ISIS getting housing, food and health care. Country better wake up.
Tolerant, duh.
You mean Intolerant?
Sure.
Unless it’s sarcasm.
I get it.
I nor anyone else is being taken advantage of. If we allow ourselves to be, that’s on us.
And i do not believe the system is set up to keep us at each others throat. The system is set up where one side or the other can’t legally get a lot done without a large majority which neither side has and this causes extreme frustration and tensions.
I am not too smart or above anyone. I just make sure to not get sucked into being one party’s pawn. You guys love it for some reason.
I cannot vote for a politician that is willing to kill the most innocent of human life, especially up to the point of birth.
Bring me a democrat that is anti-abortion and I will consider voting for him/her.
Saw a video from a lib the other day. She was talking about how she has always been very “Pro-Choice” but she had an epiphany. When a friend got pregnant and decided to keep the baby she realized that she is not Pro-Choice because that means you have the choice to not commit murder. She came to the realization that she is “Pro always kill the baby.”
No what makes you brainwashed is a place that is closed for Juneteenth instantly makes them “woke”. It doesn’t. You just spit out the dumb dumb rhetoric your side has been spoon feeding you. It’s a nothing word used to either hide actual prejudiced views or people too dumb to come up with the words of what they actually mean. It really is an issue because the right’s use of the word “woke” and left’s are two completely different things and it’s been hijacked to use against one another. Just another example of the divisive nature of pitting us against one another and how happy you are all to keep us so divided so we’re easily conquered. We’d be so much better off describing what we really mean by the use of that word.
The way in which you guys use it around here really does make you sound like tools. It really, really does.
Thank you for proving my point.
You’re welcome for proving we’d be so much better off saying what we actually mean since the word doesn’t mean the same thing from either side.
You say “you guys” a lot.
Goonies auto-rec.
Yep, JacksonVike dum dum. Eggslusher genius.
I’m stunned a bank could even be open.
All financial activity was closed yesterday.
No stock market. FDIC closed.
If Biden is spying this site, he might sick the FBI on your area.
FYI.
Yea, not sure how a bank could conduct business when the Fed is closed
They can be open, but I think they are limited on what types of transactions they can do. But as far as simple deposits and withdrawals they can do those.
True i wasn’t thinking it through. They can operate ‘off line’ and accumulate transactions but wait to post until next business day. of the Fed.
Correct.
But said bank is putting a target on its back.
Surprised they would decide to be open.
Agreed. They have every right as a private business to observe any holiday they want… you have every right to say, “welp, I am going to go to a different bank that is open.” Why don’t people on both sides get this? Instead they have to make it out to be some major thing as always.
I did.
Wow, I have not thought of Robert Griffith in a long time. I remember Orlando Thomas was in that backfield, too. RIP.
Now I have to look up the rest…
Dale Carter
Tyrone Carter
Eric Kelly
Don Morgan
Robert Tate
Kenny Wright
I couldn’t remember Dale Carter. Then I looked him up and it all came back. He was Jake Reed’s brother. Came from the Chiefs.
I really liked Jake Reed. He was quietly quite good.
I was a Jake Reed fan also. A very humble receiver.
I have his jersey, I was a fan of his.
I was at the 1998 training camp in Mankato. After it was over, we walked across the field, and my friend accidentally bumped into Jake Reed.
“‘S’cuse me,” Reed said.
So, I *almost* had a conversation with him!
My father in law gave me a t-shirt of three deep, with all three’s signature.
Happy Thorsday!
Good morning, SKOL!
