Coffee and TV

So basically what you two are doing now?

Sorry I missed the memo but why are we opening with a conference game? Was this a scheduling quirk because someone cancelled on UTEP or something?

Which ones got missed by the gun seller in this scenario?

It's slightly harder after OKC too, because laws and regulations were passed to set off red flags.

I mean if you apply this logic universally we can just do away with laws and regulations altogether for anything.

Finally someone's speaking some sense around here.

If the issue is that you can't legislate evil or assholes, why do you all wish for them to have practically no restrictions in obtaining as big of an arsenal as they want?

I guess lifer isn't the only one with a crush on me.

You gotta give Biden credit for NCAA Football coming back to the playstation then lol.

It's July. The only place I could possibly contribute is the conference shuffles and I'm kinda tired of those.

And with good reason. If you weren't so horny to defend your friend you'd see that I brought him up to ask a very specific question: why is his mind decided about James on this stance but not others? Specifically the guy he voted for president who did business in the same country. I mean Nike have a long history of using sweatshops in China and elsewhere, so does that make Michael Jordan a jackass if he remarks on Britney Griner but not China? Griner is taking money to play in a terrible country as well, so is she also a jackass? It goes back to my main point that Lebron is only a jackass because he criticizes the people or things you will gloriously defend, and because he doesn't speak up on things you wish he would. Which is weird because it's actually the Biden administration he's criticizing here, not America itself. word salad.

Ah yes, great counter argument. When someone calls out my hypocrisy using the guy I voted for I hit them with a meaningless insulting meme like a child.

But you'll ignore that Trump did business with China for decades and never said a word until he ran for president? You have a higher standard for Lebron here?

So Jackass is a compliment in this case? In your opinion. I don't pay much attention to what he has to say, I don't even follow the NBA but I think he's on point with some of the stuff I've heard him speak out about. Clarified, but backtrack is not an accurate description. Oh please. So when you bought that TV from China did you choose money over human rights as well? Crazy that an America citizen would speak out about issues in his own country where he can actually donate, vote, and be involved in the Democratic process as opposed to one he's not. Funny how in the same paragraph you call him a jackass for speaking out about things he's "uninformed" about, yet you also criticize him for not speaking out about something he's probably uninformed about.

Why? I'm sure CBL was being tongue-in-cheek but what's it matter if I agree with that or not?

What's peak irony is all of the people in this thread railing about how bad of a guy he is because he speaks out on issues.

They were supposedly vapes and I'd bank that she brought them to Russia from the U.S. in the first place, so maybe she forgot or she thought they wouldn't notice.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be plenty busy with Jan 6th indictments soon.

I can't go along with this theory, sure cops are bad in america about shooting black people, but this might be a stretch. I get Lebron's point, but Griner's biggest problem is that she got arrested in a country we're currently in a proxy war with. I'm sure the state department has offered up what they can, but it really comes down to Russia looking for any possible way to douchebag with us for helping Ukraine right now. If this happened in 2019 she'd likely be out by now.

It literally is a double standard in this case. Seems everyone here has a short memory of Trump doing pretty much the same thing.

lol another classic example of conservatives blaming socialism for something capitalism created. Only 4 companies control 90% of formula made in the US, and the plant had to be shut down after 2 infants died from the formula. The infants died because regulators skimped on inspections during Covid. Don't forget to include the ban the Trump admin put on Canadian baby formula btw.

So while I haven't tried slow cooking anything like a brisket, I have one of these that I put wood chips in for my propane grill. They do add some good flavor to grilling stuff like chicken or steaks.

Totally more scary than creating anti-abortion laws that make a 10 year old rape victim give birth. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2022/07/01/ohio-girl-10-among-patients-going-indiana-abortion/7788415001/
