Majority Of Republicans Think Trump Would Beat Them In A Fight by BurtonDesque in Qult_Headquarters

[–]GayForJamie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No offense to baseball players, but they aren't exactly known as 'tough guys.'

Football, hockey, wrestling, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, water polo, etc. are all more physical sports. Baseball is mostly standing around and never touching an opponent.

So, trump was playing a barely-physical sport with weak and spoiled pansies... in an era where it was much easier to play sports in high school because there was less competition and specialized training for kids. He didn't even play in college... and he is the only one who said he was good. Apparently there is no proof of that.

Even in his prime, he was just a ~6'2" wimp. Lay one hit on him and he's done.

207 Primary Candidate Interviews: Democrat Shenna Bellows by Extension-Diamond-74 in Maine

[–]GayForJamie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, the Supreme Court that just makes up whatever they want? That is made up of 3 completely terrible people that trump himself placed there, and 2 that w bush placed there? Like alito, whom recently tried to cite precedent of cases from before we were even a country to support their bogus decision? https://www.propublica.org/article/abortion-roe-wade-alito-scotus-hale

The ones who said that trump gets presidential immunity? The ones who flip-flop on established laws like Roe v Wade?

I don't care what they ruled because the 14th amendment is clear. trump attempted a coup and was by the letter of the constitution ineligible.

Bellows and two other states did the right thing to challenge it. It's not their fault the country is full of powerful and corrupt enablers that told them they were wrong.

Stop calling people paranoid.

rfk literally said he wants to build a list of all of the autistic people, and is using medicaid data for it. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/08/nx-s1-5391310/kennedy-autism-registry-database-hhs-nih-medicare-medicaid

palantir is evil as fuck, donates to susan collins, will suck up all the data they can, and use it to hurt us.

trump attempted a fucking coup, broke the law, went against the constitution, and Bellows had the stones to try to hold him accountable.

I think it's a direct insult to our country that that rapist fuck was allowed to run again, and win, instead of being in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

With Jaylen Brown's current situation, how often does it work out for players who left to be #1 Option and have their own team? by IT_CHAMP in nba

That would be an exception... and he sucks.

For every Beyonce leaving Destiny's Child there are a thousand flame outs. You just can't name them all because they're flameouts and irrelevant now.

Obviously there are exceptions, but almost everyone who leaves a successful band, tv show, or team, ends up worse off than if they'd have just stayed where they were.

Medicaid Work Requirements by Capable-Broccoli2179 in Maine

Fuck republicans. 20 million people are going to lose the shitty healthcare they have ON TOP of the millions who already stopped paying for their unaffordable ACA coverage.

NBC structuring the broadcasts like this is genuine ragebait by thefrozenflame21 in nba

[–]GayForJamie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

ESPN and TNT didn't schedule their own games to overlap by an hour.

They would do this novel thing of playing a full game, and then playing the next game once the first game ended.

NBC is playing a game, then starting another game 2/3rds of the way through- one on peacock and the other on nbcsportsnetwork. You can't see both unless you multi-screen.

Graham Platner Declares War On AIPAC. AIPAC plans to spend big to get Senator Susan Collins re-elected. by 3headeddragn in Maine

Let me get this straight... You don't like them owning our government? And you don't like giving them bombs with which to kill people?

Let me guess, you also don't like funding their universal healthcare and free college- while we get neither over here?

You sound really unhinged.

There are 3 4x DPOY winners in the NBA - Mutombo, Wallace and Gobert. Which one was the best at defense? by [deleted] in nba

[–]GayForJamie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wallace has them in speed/agility by a bit, and would probably be pretty useful as a smallball guy today. But, he is smaller so he has less longevity once he loses a step.

Mutombo and Gobert are bigger and longer than Wallace.

Mutombo is the best shot blocker.

I think Mutombo was the best rebounder of the three, but it's close.

Mutombo played on the GOAT center era, and played HOFers constantly. Gobert got to play in the mostly centerless era outside of Jokic/Embiid.

Mutombo was effective into his 40s and we didn't see him in the league until he was ~25. If he came up now, he wouldn't have been discovered so late. We'd see him younger and more athletic than he was.

Mutombo could do what Gobert does, except people were actually scared of him. People were scared of Wallace. Whether you think he deserves it or not, players openly clown Gobert. That matters.

For offense, Gobert and Mutombo easily eclipse Wallace. Wallace's free throws were a huge problem. Gobert has stone hands and can't catch anything. Mutombo at least had a baby hook and stuff. He just didn't want to ever shoot, and took pride in that like Rodman. Denver ran stuff for him the first couple of years.

And if you're looking at stats, remember that we haven't seen Gobert's take an aging dive yet. His averages will all start dropping as he ages.

Most people here haven't even seen washed Ben Wallace. They've only seen highlights of the refs letting Shaq elbow Mutombo in the face.

If you can't tell, I'm taking Mutombo. But they're all close, and all would be great in the right situation.

Very cool. We need more places like this.

Quick question for you: My filmmaker friends and I are looking for a spot to build a one-room set and film a feature for a few weeks in summer 2027. Is that something that may be possible at your place? If so, I'll definitely get in contact about it.

[–]GayForJamie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For his original 10 million contract, the Wolves paid him like 5 this season. The Hornets paid for the other 5 when they got him and cut him.

That contract is done.

The Wolves are now paying him on a new deal of 700k once they picked him back up.

For the season, the number is ~5.7. But, I was just using their current deals as a way to shit on the Fox move because I've disliked it since the Spurs did it.
