What positive contributions do you bring to this thread?
I’ll defend Icky. His positive contribution is as exhibit A: a test rat showing the long term effects of vax rage, a case study of chronic derangement (TDS), drug dealing in Appalachia, and Al Bundy syndrome (living off the all-state XC year and D3 team bonding).

It’s good to understand the opposition and fake Republicans

Icky, Jeff, Stone and Train(No good Trump policies) all want the invasion to resume and this time it will be permanent.

And Rill? Worried about ranchers (Dems want to take their land for windmills) and Trump saying take the vax in contrast to Dems who said take it (or else!).

Some here following the MSM narrative while others are willing to question.



It is not the MSM narrative, it is simply reality. Progressives across the ballot in California gained significantly in the late count. The AOC campaign manager gained in his SF House race (not enough fortunately, though the only three contenders were/are Dems), Steyer gained (again, not enough), and the Raman lady gained (enough to knock out the right leaning candidate)

However, those gains knocked exactly ZERO REPUBLICANS off the Top 2 ballot (LA Mayor is non-partisan). So the Dems cheated to ... face the exact same Republicans statewide and in US House races as they'd have faced without cheating? What kind of insane take is that?

Truth be told, you belong to a cult. What else do you call something where people suspend logical thought to genuflect to whatever Dear Leader and this thought police vomit up? Maybe you have a more charitable description.

No one screwed Spencer Pratt lol. He's out of the runoff by 30K at this point, it's not even close. He basically got the exact same vote in LA City as Trump did in 2024 (percentage wise), go figure I suppose. I keep wondering what about D-list celebrities are so exciting to Rs ... the GOP has lost plenty of close races since 2020, and the only allegations of mass cheating involve Trump and Spencer Pratt. Weird.

Gotta love lawyers:
Closing arguments began in Karmelo's murder trial Tuesday, and the defense went first.

Defense attorney Mike Howard told the jury Austin "had no legal right" to put his hands on Karmelo, or use force to remove him from the tent they were under at a Texas high school track meet.

Howard described how it was raining during the event, and someone from Frisco Memorial High School allegedly told Karmelo he could come under their tent to stay dry.

Howard continued ... "Then all of the sudden Hunter Metcalf, or Austin, says 'Who are you? You need to leave.' ... These guys are much bigger than you. Do you turn your back and walk away and take a chance with these teenage boys with their raging hormones?"

The lawyer argued Austin and his brother put Karmelo in a position where he needed to fight back, saying ... "Austin and Hunter had the right to tell Melo to leave, but they did not have the right to use deadly force to make him leave. Melo had an absolute right to defense himself against that."

Howard claimed one instant of hesitation could've been the difference between life and death for Karmelo, adding ... "How do you know in a split second of chaos when it's too late? ... Because if you wait too late to defend yourself, self defense is meaningless."

The testimony in the case didn't support this but it was a rainy morning. Still the media and celebrities are crying racism, attorney Howard got paid, and life goes on for some.

Sometimes I wonder what is actually wrong with you when you post stuff like this. Then I remember you’re a QAnon dipshit that requires constant attention from anonymous men.

Per usual, Big Will stands on the side of conjecture and no facts. Every "probability analysis" being made is addressing the probability of these vote shifts occurring via random chance. They aren't a function of random chance, they are a function of who voted latest in the primary (the last votes in are the last to be counted).

I didn't say Pratt was MAGA, I said his candidacy appealed to MAGA. If I were a LA resident, I'd have probably voted for him as well. However, you need to win over working class Dems to win LA if you are to the right, and based on the vote totals, he failed to do that. He did crush it among the Republicans living in LA (probably about 25% of voters).

My personal suspicion is that much of it was less about his campaign and more about the fact that working class minorities have zero clue about reality TV stars on The Hills and so his fame didn't translate soon enough. If he'd have gotten the same late buzz a 4-6 weeks earlier, he probably gets into the runoff. The Hills was - so far as I can remember - reality TV designed for college-educated, well-off people. I was not a viewer of it, however, but I know lots of folks who were.
"Probability analysis " is your words for estimates or guesswork or Polls.

But just BS.

Oh no! The brain dead boomer has been doesn’t think running sports are legitimate.
LSD jogging is just remembering to place one foot in front of another, multiple times.

In his later years he trained for triathalons. The Spring Lake town fathers made him attach a flotation tube to his foot when he would do his swim miles past the life guarded beaches.

EXACTLY like I stated. Tracking bogus votes to skid rows in LA.

"But there's nothing to see here, " Drano.

Setting aside whether this happened, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THE ARGUMENT YOUR TEAM IS MAKING.

They are saying that the slow counting is a function of Dems faking/changing ballots. Not people buying legit votes. The homeless person can’t be paid to vote, but they 100% get to vote just like you and me.

You really refuse to lose your TDS and to live in the world of Democratic thievery.

I feel bad for your future.

Here's the real area of Lawyer compensation to secure; Securities Fraud.
The SEC started to investigate a friend. He hired legal representation. Retainer fee ? $ 400,000 for a Big Time Mouthpiece. Friend cashed in his 3 Nationwide Country Club memberships ! PAID.
Time spent in jail ? ZERO days. He just had to resign his Security License's

He started a small chain of Yoga studios. He still tees it up, but on public courses now.

I studied "The Splendid Splinter's " articles on hitting printed in Sports Illustrated and pitch zone selections to hit for average ! Know the strike zone !

"A walk was as good as a hit !" In my case it was as good as a double. As I would steal second base within 2 pitches to the next batter.

Last average in competitive ball ? .464 college freshman.

Yogi towards the twilight of his career would play left field and Ellie catch. It was fun to yell out at Yogi from Fenway Field left field foul territory. That was before they added seats on top of "the Monster". Yogi would face the foul stands in left and he would talk to you between pitches.

Yogi was in the US Navy, and was assigned the machine gunners post on a D-Day landing craft.

The attempted beheading in Northern Ireland by a Sudanese immigrant signals more violence in the UK. Masked crowds in Belfast attacked the homes of migrants in a violent display.

This is the beginning of anarchy. It will not end well.

The central government in London is at fault, of course, just as the Biden administration is for opening the US border. There has to be accountability when millions of people are on the move,

England doesn’t have ICE or a robust immigration policy. It simply allows people around the world to enter unvetted.

That kind of lunacy almost always leads to death and destruction. It is not noble or compassionate. It is cowardly and irresponsible. The authorities in Belfast can see that clearly.

But don’t expect anything to be done, even though heads are rolling.

He later in life said he should have not been so stubborn when batting against teams that put an infield shift on his AB's to combat his pulling the pitch anyway !

SI used to be a great magazine. Articles from the best at their sport, that you could follow and learn how to improve your talents.

Ted on hitting for average AND power.
Jack on how to score hitting the high fade with a baseball grip.
Gus Triandos on how to play defense as a catcher. (Just before Hoyt started tossing the knuckleball and the official scorer would call "passed ball" on a knuckle that dropped a foot over the plate on poor Gus.).

Now SI is dead with fat "girls" in swimsuits and you don't even have to hide the swimsuit issue from Mom !
