Re: Republican Right Wing Nuts - Part ???? PitDAWG 08/10/26 08:31 PM
So in order to take control of Gaza should he also kill ALL of the civilians there? That's what you're making excuses for. Purposefully slaughtering women and children. That IS a war crime. What you "think" doesn't change that. For someone who claims to be such a huge Christian, there is nothing Christian about promoting and supporting the purposeful slaughter of innocent women and children.

You are a prime example as to why combining religion with politics is a cancer. Evidence of how combining your religion with your politics can corrupt a mind. How organized religion has worked to bastardize Christianity.

I get it, bad things happen in war. Mistakes are sometimes made. None of this was a mistake. It was on purpose. The intentional killing of women, children, and any other civilians during an armed conflict is a war crime under international humanitarian law as well as the Geneva Convention.

This isn't up for debate. You promote slaughtering women and children. Nobody has to "defend themselves" against the women and children of Gaza. Claiming otherwise is nothing but supporting war crimes plain and simple.

Re: Watson vs Sanders? Day of the Dawg 08/10/26 06:29 PM
Todd Monken is the coach, and he decides who practices with the 1's and who starts, who plays. Etc.. I want him to do what he feels is best for the team to win. This team is improved on paper. If the QB shows improvement the team should be better. You would think that both Sanders and Gabriel have improved year 1 to year 2. Maybe not enough to be long term but they should be improved. Watson is the wild card but he also has had past success in the league and is the veteran. If he grasps and works well in Monken's offense who knows how good he can be.

Re: Mitch McConnell PitDAWG 08/10/26 05:41 PM
It has been 57 days (or about 8 weeks) since Senator Mitch McConnell was last seen in public, following his hospitalization and subsequent inpatient rehabilitation after a fall in mid-June 2026. While his office has released statements and photos, he has not made a physical public appearance.

Has anyone thought of placing his photo on milk cartons?

The degree to which you've lost an argument can be directly tied to how hard you try to pivot to another talking point.

This was a big one.

I think you're never going to get exactly "fair value" for the best defender in football, but I like the trade given his age and our return.

From what I've seen, Verse is a very high motor and tough guy. I think he fits Monken's personality too

Re: Iran War... MoU and forward PitDAWG 08/10/26 02:36 PM
Trump says he’s ‘low-keying it’ on Iran: ‘It will work out’

President Trump said in a new interview he is “low-keying it” when it comes to the war with Iran as it nears its sixth month

“We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money,” Trump told Axios on Sunday.

The president also said Tehran’s economy “is in very bad shape” and that the country cannot compensate its forces.

“It will work out. It always works out. It’s like a chess game,” Trump said of tension between the U.S. and Iran.

With the war against Iran approaching the half-year mark, the fighting is straining U.S. relations with historic allies, raising the price of oil and gas amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and polling recently as unpopular among Americans.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.00 on Monday morning, with the average price being about $3.14 at this time last year.

Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, presented on Saturday his country’s key demands for the U.S. amid talks to reopen the strait. Iran and Oman have been taking part in discussions regarding the waterway.

Zolghadr in a message shared on state media pressed the U.S. to end its naval blockade in the strait, lift sanctions on Tehran and pay war reparations. He also demanded that the U.S. military withdraw from Iran and halt attacks on Tehran’s allies.

New day, new story. And it isn't even Tuesday yet. This excursion/conflict/war, Trump has repeatedly said from the very beginning would end “pretty quickly,” “very soon” and “pretty much, the very near future.” That has now, six months later, evolved into "low keying" it.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1934): Built an indoor therapy pool in the West Terrace using $12,000 raised by a public fund
President Franklin D. Roosevelt did build an indoor pool in the White House in 1933 for his polio physical therapy, but it did not require a congressional appropriation because it was entirely funded by private donations through a public fundraising campaign. President Richard Nixon converted the space into the White House Press briefing room.
President Gerald Ford built an outdoor pool on the South Lawn in 1975, also financed via private donations.

None of these were structural changes to the building.

A federal appeals court ruled that a president must get congressional approval to make major structural changes to the White House grounds.On August 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a 2-1 decision explicitly stating that the president lacks the unilateral authority to make drastic structural alterations to the property. The court clarified that existing constitutional and federal laws already require congressional authorization for such projects.

Well that may be - there are plenty of staunch old school Repoublicans who are aggressively anti-Trump. There are plenty of people who couldn't tell you what communism is vs facism that are aggressively anti-Trump.

That said - it's one more example of some idiot - in this case a high profile idiot - saying something dumb and then having "social media" present them as representing one side or the other. And then the muppets that get fed that in their echo chamber spamming the web with it. That's really the issue. But hey. All is fair in love and politics - Spread the S**t - that's what good fanboys do.

Stephen Vogt has severely regressed in his pitcher selections.

He keeps pulling bullpen pitchers with 2 outs and the lead and the next pitcher responds by giving up runs.

Re: More Music bonefish 08/09/26 04:03 PM
Jade was classically trained in piano and violin at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before launching her professional singing career.

Industry peers respect her deep theoretical understanding, studio production skills, and vocal arranging abilities, which set her apart from typical session singers.

Critics and fellow artists frequently note her staggering vocal power and emotional range. Critics at publications like the Sydney Morning Herald have praised her ability to command a stage with raw power while keeping her sound rooted in authentic R&B, soul, and jazz traditions.

Jade wrote this song and her mother is one of the back-up vocalists. My son shot the video. It is where they live. I love this song.

This guy speaks with more common sense than almost anyone in politics. This is what I'm saying. This crap may fly in primaries, but you can't win elections when you buddy-up with a despicable commie. Piker celebrates 911 and calls for us to abolish property rights... Landlords? "Kill them. Murder those mother #$%^ in the street. Let the streets soak in their #$%^ red capitalist blood, dude."

Re: WWII Tom Hanks bonefish 08/06/26 12:10 PM
There are parts of the series I have to fast forward.

I have seen more of the Holocaust than I want to see. I can't stomach it. What was done to Warsaw was heartbreaking.

The civilian casualties in WWII are staggering. It is interesting to see how the different countries involved treated their own civilian populations. Especially Russia, Germany, and Japan had completely different approaches.

The scale of the war and the logistics is unreal.
