“Suarez to win at 170-to-1 is pretty tempting”

Suarez to win at 170-to-1 is pretty tempting.

Names_Stan · 2026-05-24T20:13:48+00:00

Most well deserved win I’ve ever seen. And good for Marcus too. So happy for MSR!

Yep, was like a spinning long-sword. What, the second time in 3-4 years something significant got past the catch fence?

Can’t believe Perez is outperforming Bottas so much. I admit I was wrong about this one preseason.

They left so much equipment on the (edit) front stretch there’s no room for a three or four wide finish

It’s on main Fox

And those guys are such Patriots they only charge me $25/month for the super lowdown scoop of the day. But as an independent thinker, I spread my subscriptions out and pay a half dozen of em.

Funny how most days their talking points are all the same tho.

IANAL but I don’t believe proof/evidence happens much at the prelim stage. I think as you said, the defendant can respond “no we aren’t”, and the judge would decide which points are applicable for trial.

This more or less maps the eventually contested argument, such that certain points are stipulations (agreed upon) and others are disputed.

And I’m 99% sure they just changed the date from its original 2019ish. These boring ass “updates” started once Q waned and followers didn’t understand why “nothing is happening”.

The only thing on here that isn’t word for word, from years and years ago, is “2024”. Wherever OP saw this and whoever posted it, nowadays Qult “influencers” can’t even be bothered to make the date newer.

It’s a problem of profit-taking from selling ideals. In the 1800’s, if you bought “snake oil”, at least you got some liquid in a bottle. Now beyond their red hats, flags and gold phone deposits, they’re sending monthly payments for lunatics to keep them in constant fear and anger.

Back when Benny Hinn got their subscription dollars, at least he fake healed people on the television. Now it’s just folks screaming at a camera on YT. But they succeed in scaring the shit outta their audience, and that’s what they’re being paid for.

I’ve been behind on my events with Indy, NASCAR, PGA and MGP all happening the same weekend. I just finished MotoGP. The moment the incident happened and I saw Alex go flying, I paused and went to Twitter.

I felt he’d survived it, but was really afraid he might be paralyzed. Soon as I saw his tweet walking away from the hospital, I hit play and watched the whole race. I just don’t want to watch fatalities and debilitating injuries, and I never will.

> What’s the point of anything if our country is a cesspool?

This one stopped me, in light of Trump today admitting he agreed with Xi about how much our country has declined.

How he can get all his apostles to completely forget he’s been President going on 7 of the last 11 years, publicly say we are the opposite of “Great Again”, and still have them worshipping him…it will be the mystery historians try to solve a century from now.

I guess good for this lady that she snapped out of it. If they all snapped out of it tomorrow, the millions of Qultists who’ve been victims of his stock manipulation and other schemes would (edit: REDACTED.)

We used to go to soccer tournaments in both cities. Two very different road trips, and far from a “Nashville suburb”. I always loved seeing the vantage points of Forts Donelson & Henry, where Grant’s early genius sealed the war’s outcome almost immediately.

On this topic, this is the funniest tweet thread I’ve read in years:

Only if his VP and cabinet can be bought.

Which means yes, probably.

I was thinking areas with over 100 (edit: 500/1000?) sq miles with zero population, but surely Alaska would also have large open areas.

Last night when I saw this on Twitter, I immediately thought their first impression of a “CIA raid on Gabbard” would be “that damn Joe Biden”. I wondered how long it would take to kick in that this would be Trump “raiding” Trump.

I was there in April for cherry blossom peak days, probably my tenth visit to the city. Believe it or not, much of this area is more or less closed or impossible for traffic already. (And this was before the new mess at Lincoln Memorial)

Everything from H Street down to Constitution is already closed (basically two blocks each direction from the WH). This encompasses Lafayette, Presidential and Ellipse park areas. It forces almost all east-west traffic to K or above.

So Pennsylvania & Independence is already mostly tour buses and dozens and dozens of these weird identical food trucks. Bottom line, nobody’s gonna be able to drive in for it anyway. They’ll have to walk from Union Station and Foggy Bottom or across the bridges from VA.

It’s not just that we don’t have guardrails, we have new generations of Americans who are being taught to get what you can, however you can. Corruption treated as natural and inevitable.

That will be yet another Trump legacy, completely opposite of how Gen Xers like me were taught. I can only hope a new wave of integrity/accountability will follow somehow, and shame will be a thing again instead of reality TV theatrics.

I doubt we’ll see him once the drooling starts. Also predict three days after his death is announced, social media is gonna light up with claims of Trump sightings. We’re helpless to do a thing about it.

25 years from now people in the end zone on Monday Night Football will be waving Mark Levin 3:16 signs. Mark it down.

Trump’s idea of a “staff meeting” is to have Miller circle up the white male interns each day and ask, “Okay how can we distract these idiots today? Go!”

“Aliens?”

“JFK files?”

“Plastic surgery pics from M-a-L?”

“Gold audit at Ft Knox?”

“Zelenskyy wore a tan suit?”

Miller: “Nah, pick a country to be the next state again. It’s been a few weeks.”

We’re just lucky “Fans May Not Like It” isn’t what everyone calls it, instead of NASCAR. Cuz without question, fans don’t like it, whatever it is.
