Other people apparently aren't as racist as you and/or don't hang around racists as much as you. I was aware of the trope but until this popped up, I don't think I had heard or thought about it this century. It's not exactly front of mind. And if Smith walked by and somebody said, "damn, look at those lips", I wouldn't have thought they were being racist. I would have looked and thought, damn, those are big lips.Quote:

"It doesn't matter how much blood and money we've spent in afghanistan, the benefits don't justify a continued presence, let's establish a plan for an orderly withdrawal, coordinated with allies, that ensures we get important assets out and destroys any military equipment that can't removed" is how a person with functioning brain cells would apply the sunk cost fallacy.
Back to the topic at hand though. Schefter is next on the email shit list. This could be a methodical and surgical culling of the herd. Dan Snyder about to sacrifice everyone to distract people from being mad at him. For some reason it's keeping the mad barking dog that is cancel culture off of him. Makes me believe it's not a "lib-insider" thing as some like to say but rather a "billionaire's club".
we're out and no one has an appetite to go back in. thats a win. also no one votes based on foreign policy stuff so your whining is in vain, my guyQuote:

They could have hired a random middle manager from FedEx with no knowledge of military operations and done better. It's not like they had to expend any political capital to avoid getting people killed. It's perplexing why they decided to not put even minimal effort into it.Quote:

You have brought no facts only insults and changing the subject which is what leftist do cause they got nothing. Truth always prevails.
now do the previous 20 years of unnecessarily getting lots of people killed and/or tortured and letting bin laden waltz right out of the country. if its a bunch of poop you're smelling, check your upper lipQuote:

We will back in some conflict within the next 5 years. It pays too much not to.
It's the WAY he "got r done" that is the problem. Stop watching CNNQuote:

Me asking you who those 2 people are is also apropos to the discussion; kinda the whole point, actually. It's not me insulting you. It matters.
And just how did I insult you? I didn't call you any names? I assumed, perhaps wrongfully, that your "R2" handle was derived from a beloved Star Wars character that also shares those letters.
And I would think we've learned to not take politicians at their word ("I heard it from the mans lips...by video")...what they say to the cameras at a press conference or at a political rally don't often line up with reality, no?
Oh, FFS.Quote:

Also, where is this "professor" crap coming from? Unless I'm mistaken, the ONLY time I've ever argued from a point of AUTHORITY (i.e., leaning on my credentials/education/skills/training/etc.) was years ago during a discussion on the age of the Earth that devolved into a misinformed trashing of radiocarbon dating. Other than that, I've been just another asshole behind a keyboard...just like you :cool:.
here's the facts: afghan withdrawal has been incredibly popular for a long time. it's still incredibly popular despite all the bedwetting and virtue signalling going on in this thread. yall should go back to posting about sports because reasoned political analysis is not exactly yall's forte
Did you just call yourself an a******? lol!Quote:

Gruden had one of the only openly gay players in the NFL on his team. That would be DE Carl Nassib.
Yeah, a whole bunch of emails have come out since the initial one containing the big lips comment. He pretty much runs the gamut of shitty words and phrases and received (circulated?) nude photos of the Washington cheerleaders.Quote:

I take what I know by actions and the actions I've watched match a lot of the words. Trump ain't no politician that was the greatest thing about him, that and he was a Patriot that loves America not trying to destroy it.
What does a still shot of two leaders show? Still waiting for your answer
So as long as you insult an old white man it is OK. There are a multitude of sins, racism isn't the only one. Racism ain't just white against black either as so many suggest. Double standards everywhere you look.Quote:
