The Tribe called up Russell Branyan Bobby Bradley. 4 plate appearances included an extra base hit, a walk and a strikeout. I expect a lot of that. A. Lot.

Unable to defend his pov, Larry declares victory and then he, pivots to a different topic.
This is his MO. Same as Trump's.
You don't commute because you're unemployable, given "the incident".
I understand, Larry.
Bottom line, give us a case for reparations and his that moves the country forward.
Or... STFU.
And don’t go hinting about some “incident” that makes me “unemployable.” You got something? Spill.
He likes to petend he knows things he doesn't, to go with the little bits he does know.
So, for example, he has put up my picture. Sometimes, he intimates knowledge about my marital status, too.
It's stupid and illustrates his lack of trustworthiness.

Speaking of wimps. The technologically challenged dumbfuck whose default setting is to label anyone he disagrees with a racist has checked in from his desert hole..

Well, it is like holding the career record for striking out the most. If they keep you around despite a fair number of your punts being forcibly redirected the wrong way, you must be pretty good, otherwise.Tom Weaver's nickname?This being the NFL forum, Charlie Weaver was a linebacker for the Detroit Lions in the 70s.
I remember Charlie Weaver. kind of a folksy sort, a TV charcter actor WBW, don't recall Tom Weaver.
heh
Sonny Weaver Jr. was a GM for the...
Herman Weaver had a 50% completion rate, averaged 9.6 yards per attempt, and was never intercepted in his NFL career. Maybe that should be the player he's compared to. But old Thunderfoot was never one for media attention, despite sharing the career lead in one category.

Nothing to stop them. They can always distinguish the cross case since outside of the Judeo-Christian tradition there are very few long standing religious symbols on public grounds.

« on: June 21, 2019, 02:01:29 PM »Did you? Gorsuch's opinion can best be summarized as, "Shut the Fuck up atheists" and the portion you quoted would have been more apt to the case - not to mention the plurality - had he used added the "in" before consistent and the "im" before permissible, while.Thomas questioned the applicability of the incorporation doctrine. And the plurality continued the right's tacit overruling of Lemon by not applying it.7-2 at the least, assuming the same SCOTUS makeup.
What if the same question that came up for the giant cross on public land came up, instead, for a monument of similar vintage and intent, but instead of its being a cross, it held a moon and star in the way commonly associated with Islam? How would Justice Alito handle it?
It is as much a constitutional question as the cross was, but with a less certain chance of a 7-2 result.
Did you read the opinions?
. “Even if the original purpose of a monu-ment was infused with reli-gion, the passage of time may obscure that sentiment,..“As our society becomes more and more religiously diverse, a community may preserve such monuments, symbols, and practices for the sake of their historical signifi-cance or their place in a common cultural heritage. What’s more, taking down such symbols may be even more “evocative, disturb-ing, and divisive” than leaving them stand.
“Where categories of monuments, symbols, and practices with a longstanding history follow in that tradition, they are likewise constitu-tional——-Justice Alito
What matters when it comes to assessing a monument, symbol, or practice isn’t its age but its compliance with ageless principles, “The Constitution’s meaning is fixed, not some good-for-this-day-only coupon, and a practice consistent with our nation’s traditions is just as permissible whether undertaken today or 94 years ago.”——-Justice Gorsuch

« on: June 20, 2019, 07:13:12 PM »Except of course it is an argument you made repeatedly. But then, since the number of Americans not in the workforce continues to rise, it is consistent with your utter absence of integrity and intellectual honesty that you now pretend you did not.LOLSo do investors.S&P sets record, Dow within less than 100 points of its highest mark set just a half a year ago. Inflation steady and under 2 per cent. Rate cut May come next month. Economy doing super.
REDSTATEWARD thinks the Fed cutting lending rates is a sign that the economy is doing super.
Juicing the economy with lower rates is not a sign that the economy is doing well. Its a sign the economy needs to be juiced.
When Obama was President your people were complaining that rate cuts were artificially propping the economy (easy money!) and that was immediately following a recession. Now that they might cut rates again the economy is doing great!
A position that is as inconsistent as it is transparently political.
Let us not forget Red’s assertion the unemployment numbers under Obama didn’t count because they didn’t reflect those who had given up on the workplace.
Pretty sad when you have to make up arguments never made.
You used to use the number in your signature.

The Third Eye film forum might be closing, and archiving itself (with the Wayback Machine or whatever), and some there wondered if Elba could accommodate them (it's about six active members left). That would involve adding a couple more film threads (but wouldn't need to transport any posts, just start fresh ones).
