Hello, from under my rock. I had no idea that NASA was about to launch a manned mission to the moon in February. No landing, just a ten day trip. Hope they make it. I would hate to be trusting in NASA's techs and contractors.

2026 is the year humanity will finally go back to the moon

It's happening. We are going.

Oh no! You called me a bigot! Reee!

You guys are every bit the same as leftists who lose their sht the moment anyone steps out of line on a topic. Without fail. Same names called every time someone doesn’t affirm you or goes “out of bounds” on a topic but then calls others “snowflakes.” Truly fascinating.

We can bash every gen but boomers apparently
We can bash any country but Israel
We can bash any politician but Trump
We can bash Muslims all day long or black criminals or whatever group except one

And no bells go off with folks on here. But I do get a kick out of people on here who weren’t even pro Trump a decade ago or had a completely different position just a year ago now flipping it cause it’s their guy. Amazing.

So screw 'em. They are and always have been uniparty shills. Let's band together and pass workers' rights. So they can't fire you for your off-the-clock activities. You can say whatever you want, about whoever you want. No 'canceling'. Remove their power.

The boomers aren't changing, as you say. So let's do **** without them. You can call me whatever and vice versa. And we can improve our country despite them.

RFK Jr. overhauls childhood vaccine schedule to resemble Denmark's in unprecedented move

The new U.S. guidelines recommend all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18, including Covid, previously on the schedule.

Just for squirts and giggles, let's assume for a moment that Trump somehow cuts a deal to acquire Greenland during his remaining 3 years. Maybe Denmark sells it to us, maybe some other sort of joint arrangement is agreed upon, whatever. If a Dem happens to win back the White House in 2028, is there any doubt they will seek to undo the whole thing simply for the sake of destroying anything Trump accomplished? Same goes for Venezuela. Will they not try to dismantle or undo anything Trump accomplishes there? Like pardon and release Maduro and send him back to Venezuela with their apologies?

Of course.

We do it anyway.

Mark Pope: "What's really important for us as coaches and as teammates is understanding the story that each of our guys and each member of our staff is telling themselves about what we're going through right now, and then bringing it back to two things. One, a point of truth and two, a point of common understanding about what you're experiencing, where the shortcoming is, where the pitfalls are. That was actually a theme of our film today."

Yikes.

I like to think that we are in the business of building democracies. I know our track record is mixed on this, but if we can help shape Venezuela into a country that is more tangent with our view, it’s only going benefit both countries.

What Russia is doing is different. They are a fractured empire that are trying to reclaim land lost decades ago. Ukraine had its faults, some here try to embellish those faults, but following a run towards the west, seemed to be on the same track as other Soviet countries.

My BIL is a second generation American and his parents left Taiwan in the 70’s to study in the US. They speak a common language, but mainland China and Taiwan are two different and distinct countries.

I am okay with Russia and China flexes their muscles to increase the sphere of influence as long as their actions lead to growth around the world. The Silk Road initiative by China will by all accounts help dozens of countries. I fine with that competition. What I don’t want to see is countries bullied for the sake of a new era of colonialism.

Maduro and Chavez were not good leaders and the people in Venezuela have suffered for 2 decades. I’m fine with intervention there. There’s no reason to intervene in Colombia and Greenland, though. Hopefully I’ve articulated my stance clearly on this.

So what, you think we should defend Taiwan? You want to go to war with China over Taiwan after what we just did to Venezuela? You're lost man. I don't know if it's blind nationalism or you really do buy into the 'America's Great!' propaganda, but that is completely inconsistent.

Trump is consistent. Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Panama, Iran. They are 'Not America' to be done with as we please.

Looks like Massachushits has finally just said screw it and decided to limit how much a person can drive.

Beacon Hill hears bill to reduce driving in Massachusetts

A bill is advancing through the Massachusetts State House that would seek to reduce the amount of miles residents travel in their personal vehicles in order to meet state climate mandates.

Those people drive like complete psychopaths, so I'm in favor of limiting their poor driving.

I think that if you and I were having a conversation a year ago, I would be steadfast on a lot of the same sticking points you have. I think after the election, I needed to figure out why all the talking heads on our side was wrong on basically everything election wise.

I started posting here a year ago to figure out how so many missed the mark. I’ve tried to be open minded to the right to help round my own opinion on things. I think ultimately the right and the left want a successful America.

By moderating my opinions, I can enjoy successes in the 2nd Trump admin. If you were to ask me what successes occurred during the first term, I have a hard time answering that and I’m not sure that’s fair. Glass half full, I can look back and say “Man, Trump was able to do x, y, z” and then provide evidence. If the worst case scenarios happen, I can at least say I gave him his fair shake.

The talking heads were wrong because they're out of touch elitist centrists. The talking heads are wrong about everything all the time. If you were listening to them that's your first mistake. Your second would following them toward the center in search of truth. The center is merely the midway point of the current Overton window. It moves as the window does, with each new development and happenstance of history. It's shifting sand, not something you ever want to build a foundation upon. Build your worldview on reality. Learn about the physical world, the globe we all occupy. Not what Trumpers, or liberals, or leftists, or neocons, or talking heads (who are just their mouthpieces) think. Always look for direct sources, not people summarizing them. Think your own thoughts about the things you read.

I understand what you're saying is you're attempting to be fair and nonpartisan in your assessments. I would point out that those are not equal priorities. The pursuit of fairness and true justice is paramount, diverting from that just to give some veneer of evenhandedness is counterproductive.

Just ask yourself this, why are the American people against this? Even when, as we've talked about, it's a geopolitically advantageous thing to do?

Because it's wrong.

 

[Bigmikeydelight]

So what, you think we should defend Taiwan? You want to go to war with China over Taiwan after what we just did to Venezuela? You're lost man. I don't know if it's blind nationalism or you really do buy into the 'America's Great!' propaganda, but that is completely inconsistent.

Trump is consistent. Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Panama, Iran. They are 'Not America' to be done with as we please.

I would 100% support war with China if they invaded Taiwan. I think I have a fair and concise line of where I draw the line. I oppose aggression. We’ve already seen that in the form of Maduro after Chavez death and last year’s election. I balk at Cuba, but would understand intervention. I even would be okay if we established something in Haiti. Ukraine and Trump comments on Colombia and Greenland are out of line.

 

[BigBluefoot]

I guess we have to send Maduro back and let him rule again...cause less than a couple of dozen old while liberals are upset in Gainesville. The Ukraine flag makes an appearance as well haha

Libs have so many foreign flags to try to represent:

Support an unelected literal dictator and communist, while still yammering about "no kings" toward a democratically elected potus.
The level of pure stupid on the left is truly troubling. Mental deficients.

The young man destroyed her. Exposed her as an agenda driven abject moron.

 

[notFromhere]

Awww. We hurt Heisman's feelings calling him what he has declared he is. Now he's crying.

Heisman- "I hate ****in boomers!"

"So you're an agist."

Heisman- "Waaah, waaah, waaah, so I guess no one can criticize boomers....?! ?!"

Lmao. When you live your life as a generalist, casting aspersions at whole groups, some just because anyone disagrees with any little thing you say, guess what happens?

There's no question you've lost control of your ability to reason simply because you've seen something you hadn't seen before. I get it. I've seen it happen to friends and family before. They had their heads in the clouds for years and all of a sudden they see something for the first time, and "poof" it's the "source of all that is evil in the world." Disagree with them even the slightest and they cut you off completely. Now you're an enemy....

I have (and friends of mine have) been wronged, ripped off, or robbed by someone from about every large group of people you could imagine. I don't go around crying about it or becoming deranged about every single person in that group. Why not? Because I'm not an animal without reason. I can actually separate myself from what I know and have experienced, because it's the healthy thing to do.

Most people do what the Bible declares to be evil sht. Try not to be the reason that the rest of the world doesn't wish evil upon you as well.

Or flail about with a dull dagger making an enemy even of those that would reason with you.

Your choice

You said cocaine doesn't kill Jack squat.
How many do you think should die before it’s a big deal?

From the other day:

No one should give two ***** about weed and coke. Definitely not enough to invade a country over. If you OD on cocaine in today's economy you almost definitely deserved it.

i love this Country warts and all and no one is denying your right to do so.

Yet. Tell that to Rumeysa Ozturk.

I'm still trying to figure out how they snuck a Canadian crewmember past Trump.

??? "I oppose aggression." But you support us blowing up a country's air defenses, flying into it, dropping special forces, kidnapping their head of state, and killing everyone who gets in our way. Oh, and blowing up a TOMB just for fun while we're at it.

Explain.

The hell has the Clown been at? He get banned or thread banned or something?

Well

He's a product of the system like so many that came out of the universities from the 90s onward. Spend way too much time on feelings and not enough on strategy and competition. Outside of a death or illness in a player's family, I doubt Nate Oats is concerened about feelings.

If football coaches ever get to this point, just pack up the stadiums and call the tune. I'll not be watching any of that, either.

This conflict is in its infancy at the moment. The rhetoric I see seems to be all over the place so in the meantime I choose to be positive.

In the same vein, I would have also supported Biden had he delivered more to Ukraine in its fight with Russia. Setting Venezuela to the side, what do you think the stance on Ukraine and Taiwan?

 

[Fanon]

Do you actually think our Founders would have supported a president being able to unilaterally just order an invasion of another country to kidnap and depose their head of state? NO ONE DOES. This isn't what America was supposed to be. That's inarguable.

 

[Simple Man]

No wonder he is a gay retard

 

[Fanon]

Her rights were restored where they not?

No, the administration is still attempting to deport her and others like her, like Mahmoud Khalil, right now, over nothing but their protected free speech. The admin has not stopped just because judges have ordered their release from detention.

dude or dudette, whatever ... you can bash israel all you want and you can bash trump too, most of us don't give 2 chits. but you are really losing your message because that is more and more all you do. we're tuning you out because you're a broken freaking record. All day every day...

i bet many have put you on ignore, many of us haven't because we dont disagree with you vehemently, but we're not psychotic about the issue either.

you have become NO different than the leftards afflicted with TDS ... in their case, no matter what he does, they are gonna complain. you do the same thing toward israel and increasingly towards trump. maybe you'd rather have harris and tampon tim running the show. Look Trump is human, he does sh** we don't like, but he is the closest to our values right now. and you seem MISERABLE posting the stuff you do every day ... so i would ask "why"? if it makes you so miserable that we don't listen to you ... maybe stop?

going off your recent posts, you'll likely go off, call me names, etc. we'll see.

notice how "mikey" and "dion" are having it out after we called them out this weekend as being one in the same? i find that interesting to say the least.

I also find it amusing that they are so desperate that they are begging us to join them... they've lost on the merits, their world is crumbling apart and desperate begging is all they have left.

notice dion is calling out mikey for saying the opposite,when in posts today he has done exactly that ... he said what makes America great and later said that America is evil. he is desperate ... and i find it fing hilarious.

Or I can stay and fight for my country and what's right. Just like my ancestors did. Until y'all eventually send the 'gazpacho' for me. Just like you did them at Blair Mountain.

oh, poor dion ... crybully needs a wambulance... every one is out to get you ... waaaahhh. the way you B&C so much, you're probably the one who got me banned twice.

dude grow up ... you're a moron with horrid ideas. you hate this country, you hate Americans, you hate truth, every fight you fight against this country ... yawn.

American military interventions always look the best on day 1 when we fly in, spend some of our countless billions to do amazing ****, kick *** and take names. It's what comes after where all the problems arise.

Are you asking my personal opinion on the conflicts or what American policy should be? Either way we've forfeited any moral high ground we had there, so we're hypocrites for intervening at this point.

America's both. Things we do are great. Things we do are evil. The policy positions are what matter. Not just blind nationalism or partisanship. It's the actions themselves, not who is doing them, that define whether they're right or wrong.
