@Riley_Gaines_ As a scientist i would point out that anyone who attempt to shout down people raising questions, even if they're misguided, is, in fact, anti-science. The foundational principle in science is to ask questions. Without questions, one cannot develop a hypothesis
@HolmesJosh@ComfortablySmug I, for one, would like to hear their defense of his allegedly stated desire to rape male home invaders...not in a gay way, but to "assert his dominance." A statement which the campaign did not deny when asked, btw
@HolmesJosh Calling him a clown does a disservice to good, solid carnies everywhere. He's really more of a Canadian goose. Deliberatley provocative, clumsy, and leaves a mess of shit wherever he goes
Blow this embarrassingly soft JV team up. This was an humiliating performance across the board, and arguably worse than 2 years ago. Deal Braun, Gordon, Murray, fire Adelman. Hell, get rid of everyone but Jokic for all I care. But rework this pathetic team that couldn't GET TO A GAME 7 against a team down 3 of its best players
๐จ HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids
What a HERO!
Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him.
Give this man an award. Absolute legend.
The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

40 documents. Not 40 damning documents. 40 documents total โ every sworn deposition, every FBI interview, every flight log entry, every civil complaint, every media reference of any kind linking Trump to Epstein in the largest document production in DOJ history.
The number is the story. But the documents themselves tell it better.
๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Trump and Epstein were Palm Beach neighbors and Manhattan social circle fixtures in the 1990s. Trump called him a terrific guy in 2002. The friendship existed and must be stated plainly, because everything that follows only makes sense if you understand that.
๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
Around 2004, it ended. Brad Edwards โ the attorney who represented Epsteinโs victims and investigated every lead for years โ established under oath that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club.
There is no documented contact between Trump and Epstein after 2004. Not one email. Not one call. Not one schedule entry. In 1.39 million documents.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
The FBI flagged every document mentioning Trump across the entire corpus by order of the bipartisan Senate Judiciary Committee. The result: one allegation, one victim who refused to cooperate, no prosecution.
The SDNY had Trumpโs phone records. They found an innocuous 2001 call alongside explicit trafficking procurement. They charged nothing.

Brad Edwards, who had every reason and every incentive to find evidence against anyone connected to Epstein, filed a sworn affidavit:

And when Edwards was reaching out to powerful men in Epsteinโs orbit, Trump was the only one who picked up the phone and returned his call. Readily. He knew what Epstein was and wanted to talk about it.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Bill Gates: 2,265 documents. Multiple confirmed meetings. Donations routed through Epstein. Boris Nikolic named in Epsteinโs will.
Bill Clinton: 1,586 documents. 147 sexually explicit messages with Maxwell. Multiple confirmed island visits. Flights confirmed by the pilot ten to twenty times.
Reid Hoffman: 1,976 documents. Slept at Epsteinโs Manhattan mansion.
Leon Black: 667 documents. $158 million paid to Epstein across a decades-long financial relationship.
Donald Trump: 40 documents. Zero financial transactions. Zero island visits. One commuter flight in 1997. A friendship that ended in 2004 when he drew the line and had Epstein removed from his property. The only person in the orbit who returned the victimโs attorneyโs call.
Trumpโs entire file is 1.8% the size of Gatesโs.

Link to the source material in the first comment. @grok. Is this true?
White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we goโthrough our words, our actions, and our systems. We donโt have to be showing symptomsโlike a white hood or a Confederate flagโto be contagious.
"I'm an Iranian who lives in Tehran...In case I'm dead tomorrow, I just want you to remember this.
"Please. Shut the fuัk up and don't use me against America or Israel...We asked for this. We want this attack...
"I know I might die...I'm willing to sacrifice my life for Iran."
Let me tell you about the greatest unintentional science experiment in the history of progressive governance.
Zohran Mamdani โ the brand-new mayor of New York City, population TEN MILLION โ decided the city needed emergency snow shovelers. Simple enough. He went on TV, promoted it city-wide, and set up signup sheets at sanitation garages across all five boroughs.
You know how many people showed up at the Manhattan location? ZERO. Brooklyn? ZERO. One Queens garage? Not a soul โ and I quote a city worker there: "I haven't seen anybody sign up yet today. No one."
One Brooklyn location managed to scrape together 35 volunteers before the snow even started falling.
35 people. One city. Ten million residents.
Now, I teach biology, so I recognize a failed experiment when I see one. This is what happens when reality collides with ideology at highway speed.
Here is the part that would be funny if 19 people had not died freezing on his streets during the PREVIOUS cold snap. Mamdani was asked about those 19 deaths โ "unhoused" people, pardon me for the crime of using plain English โ and his response was essentially: well, some of them died from drug overdoses, so... not all my fault?
Remarkable crisis management. Truly.
But back to the shoveling. This is the same man whose political identity is built on screaming "LIVING WAGES" until his voice gives out. The same movement that tells us $15 an hour is poverty and $20 is barely survivable in a major American city. So when an actual emergency hit his actual city, the very best he could offer was $19 an hour โ in a place where a bagel costs $7.
Naturally, nobody showed up. So in a full-on panic, he rushed out a new video bumping the pay to $30 an hour.
Oh, and he required TWO forms of identification to participate.
Let that sit for a second.
The political party that has spent YEARS insisting that asking for ONE form of ID to vote is Jim Crow 2.0, segregation reborn, a fundamental assault on democracy โ that party's mayor is now requiring TWO forms of ID to pick up a snow shovel for thirty bucks.
I teach science. We call this a logical inconsistency. Other people call it something less polite.
Quinn's Law #1 applies here like a surgical instrument: "Liberalism always generates the EXACT OPPOSITE of its stated intent." Champion of the working class cannot get working-class people to work. Advocate for living wages offers wages nobody will accept. Opponent of voter ID demands more ID than a polling place.
And Quinn's Law #25 deserves a bow too: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." Notice it was $19 of TAXPAYER money, not Mamdani's own. The moment it was HIS administration's crisis to manage, suddenly the generosity of spirit evaporated faster than the budget surplus.
Bernie Sanders ran a presidential campaign on $15 minimum wage while paying his own field organizers an average of $13 an hour for 60-hour weeks. Now Mamdani runs a city on "living wage" rhetoric while offering emergency pay that would not cover the subway fare to get there and back.
Same energy. Different decade. Same results.
What is next โ Mamdani holds a press conference on income inequality... wait, I just heard he already scheduled one for Thursday.
The man has been mayor for roughly two months. In that time: 19 unhoused people died on his watch, the city is heading into a historic blizzard with a QUARTER of the snow removal staff used in prior storms, and his great mobilization strategy produced 35 shovelers total.
This is what you get when you elect someone whose entire qualification is performance. Everything is theater. Everything is a press release. Everything is racial grievance politics dressed up as governance. The moment the snow actually falls and the city needs someone who knows how to RUN something โ you get an emergency video and a $30 plea.
New York City has one of the largest municipal budgets on the planet. They could have rented equipment. They could have contracted crews. They could have activated protocols that actually existed BEFORE the blizzard radar showed up.
Instead, the mayor's plan was to crowdsource manual labor from random citizens and pay them in wages that the mayor's own party calls "poverty level."
Quinn's Law #5: "When liberalism conflicts with reality, reality must give way."
Reality did not cooperate this time.
But what do I know โ I am only a science teacher who understands that experiments with a 35-out-of-10,000,000 participation rate are called FAILURES, not pilot programs.
@PetersenWill I also don't want AJ Brown or George Pickens. We don't need the locker room disruption. What we NEED is a solid, reliable, no drama slot receiver who is a threat to go for 1000 yards. I agree with The Drive: Wan'Dale Robinson or Alec Pierce make a ton of sense
@mcuban I think you get a better biceps stimulus if you use lighter weight, and stretch the muscle by fully extending or, better yet, lying on an incline. That just looks like an ego lift for not much gain
@ComfortablySmug Broncos should be playing in this game for sure. If we have a healthy Bo Nix, I think we'd have a better-than-even chance at taking the Lombardi.
Also, Bad Bunny sucks...I assume. I didn't watch it ๐คฃ
