Serious and honest question.Will you be surprised if Kentucky loses to Mississippi State tonight? I won't be, I am pulling for them to win,but don't think this team has the right components and chemistry to be very successful this season. Go Big Blue!
They'll win but it'll probably be ugly. They don't want to hear the boo birds again so at least for this game they'll play hard. Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they lose.

My sister has season tickets and offered me the pair for tonight's game. No thanks. I probably wouldn't get home until 1 in the morning. Just not worth it for this team right now. Feel sorry for season ticket holders.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are sitting in a bar.
A guy walks in and asks the barman,
'Isn't that Trump and Cruz sitting over there?'
The bartender says, 'Yep, that's them.'
So the guy walks over and says, 'Wow, this is a real honor!
What are you guys doing in here?'
Trump says, 'We're planning WW III.'
The guy says, 'Really? What's going to happen?'
Trump says, 'Well, we're going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with big tits.'
The guy exclaimed, 'A blonde with big tits?
Why kill a blonde with big tits?'
Trump turns to Cruz and says, 'See, I told you, no one gives a **** about the 140 million Muslims.’

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed tech billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk as “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has ever met.”


Elon may be eccentric , but his purchase of Twitter and allowing ALL viewpoints to be heard, no censorship, is probably the biggest single reason we dont have President Kamala and VP Fudd right now.

Agree, but ALL viewpoints are not being heard. They're not being censored outright, but certain ones have their visibility restricted. Not complaining at all. I'm not on X

Seems like most on here don’t like being called fascist. There’s a couple that try to equate fascism with socialism/communism, which itself are two separate political ideologies.
Because they aren't arguing in good faith. Instead of trying to objectively and dispassionately describe reality they begin from the foundation that there exists an external right and wrong based on their Christian God. Their interpretation of that is what is 'good'. Because of our history with them, in American culture Nazis are 'bad'. So they, as good Christians and therefore living embodiments of what is 'good', cannot be fascist in their minds because fascists are 'bad'. All of the rest is just them trying to manufacture anything they can to justify their previously held position. They start from a premise and work backwards to justify, rather than starting blank and working forward to a premise built on data. Look at how they use 'communist' as well, like you point out. It's just 'this is bad', completely divorced from any ideological identifiers.

As the people with brains here all admit, every system is a mixed system. These political science labels describe actions, not people. Hitler was a fascist because he did fascist things for fascist reasons. Which means might-makes-right power structures based on natural hierarchies. We take Greenland because we can, therefore we should. There's more to it than that, but it gets into the weeds. Those're the basics.

If Americans want to stop being called fascist, they should stop doing fascist things. It's as simple as that. We don't have to be like this.

I have posted this before, but based on this post, I will say it again. I was a military policeman at the time. Shortly after Kent State, they were expecting protest near our location. They took a large group of us and put us on standby with buses waiting to load us in a minutes notice. They issued us M-16's with no ammo and told us there would be no ammo. Thankfully, we were not deployed.
With today's administration they'd give you live rounds and a slap on the back. How far we have fallen. Yet this thread defends and justifies. Just like conservatives did back then.

Somewhere, outside of Lexington, there's a Clown dressed in Packers gear dancing around in his living room.

Now, you can believe this, or not. We know that X has some exaggerators. But if this is part of a master plan- overthrow Iran and Venezuela within weeks of each other in order to bring China to heel- then it would rival and maybe surpass any geopolitical strategy since Kennan or Marshall.


Hey y’all are finally starting to catch up! Imagine if you already knew all this stuff and didn’t have to rely on talking heads to spoon-feed it to you. That’s what learning can do for you. (I won’t call it education because I know that’s a trigger word for y’all.)

It's going to be a rough night in Minnesota,like someone suggested earlier, let Canada have that crazy bunch of people.



We need to declare the state govt of MN derelict and of no effect, send in the military and just start marching these people into makeshift detention centers. They can worry themselves about how soon we process them, but we should not hurry to do anything but put them into camps.

Since they closed schools, we can use those to house them, keeping careful track of all damages. Give them MREs for meals, cots to sleep on, allow no electronics, charge them for their housing, meals, and care, and make them work while they are there. No exceptions.

Meanwhile have the fkn water tested, because witelf is wrong with these people?!
