Re: No One Cares Because Nothing Matters Anymore

I just truly don't understand what we're doing here. nor i John Oliver did a recent bit on a major issue with lethal injections, specifically the acquisition and use of pentobarbital might as well go back to hangings and firing squads If it were my choice, give me the bullets. Be really cool if I c...

Re: No One Cares Because Nothing Matters Anymore

NPR: In an analysis of the more than 1,400 lethal injection executions conducted in the U.S. since 1982, researchers for the nonprofit Reprieve reported that states made significantly more mistakes during the executions of Black people than they did with prisoners of other races. Reprieve, which ad...

Re: Let’s have a war!

Do you have a legitimate reason to believe that Putin wouldn't stop there or are you just going with the "hey, that sounds like a slippery slope argument and I'm too smart to fall for those because I saw this meme once!" https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/russian-victory-i...

Re: Let’s have a war!

Today, Belgium announced two things.

- Discovered a network of Putin's goons bribing EU politicians

- Rushing F-16's to Ukraine in the next 40 days instead of in 2025.

Probably unrelated.

Re: 2024

Say, hypothetically, that the Wall Street Journal had the exclusive, original reporting on Hillary's emails, and Hillary had an intermediary write a check to induce the Journal to kill the story in the run-up to the 2016 election.

Now, go on and tell me that what Trump is on trial for is an affair.

Re: Let’s have a war!

Re: Let’s have a war!

Fall 2021 was a low point in U.S. military credibility, with the “end” of our occupation of Afghanistan - for, yes, 20 years! Or do you disagree? As such, I think it’s very much appropriate to question U.S. militarism going forward, particularly if the rhetoric involved is practically glorifying th...

Re: Let’s have a war!

AGAIN, I do not think Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is justified. Not one bit! AGAIN, kindly spare me those words in my mouth. If anything, I’m trying to justify the U.S.’s actions here. Help me out! Can you assure me this latest aid package for Ukraine is gonna be some sort of game changer? I really...

Re: usa olympics

Ah, I see. I'm not as big an Embiid fan as many here are. If he didn't dabble at KU i'd probably dislike him - kinda obnoxious. Not my cup of tea, either. But - for better or worse - he’s almost certainly going to be our most prominent guy after Pierce and until whoknows, so I would like for him to...

Re: usa olympics

Well you could say that about AD too. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more of Bam out there then we think. Fine, but I don’t care about Davis or the Lakers. I care a lot about Embiid and, by extension, his NBA team(s). I don’t want him to be this generation’s Malone or Barkley or pick whatever...

https://www.usab.com/news/2024/04/2024-usa-basketball-mens-national-team-announced That's a good squad. Embiid, LeBron, Durant, Curry, Tatum, Booker, AD, Edwards, Kawhi, Haliburton, Bam, Holiday. I think those first 5 are your starters. How far Haliburton has come. Not sure how I feel about Embiid ...
