Me in Scotland: can I get a pale ale please
Barkeep: it's not like a regular beer
Me: that's fine
Barkeep: it's not carbonated and it's not chilled
Me: that's fine
Barkeep: are you sure?
Me: I know my accent sounds American but I'm Canadian
Barkeep: ah ok here you go

Trump likes eating his young.
He'll destroy Rubio and Vance before this term is over.
Don't believe me? Call Mike Pence and ask how his political career is going.
But here's the nuance on Vance.
He wasn't a proponent of this war. He tried to distance himself.
His brand of disengagement and ending forever wars is still somewhat intact.
If the war goes badly — and it might — Vance can at least make the case that he saw it coming.
Whether he actually runs in 2028 is another question entirely.
But here's the bigger picture: This is an anti-incumbent environment.
We keep switching jockeys.
Democrats in power — people get unhappy and switch.
Republicans in power — same thing.
This feels like the Democrats' moment.
They can absolutely lose it by running weak candidates again.
But the opportunity is right there.

@geoffschwartz Going back to the 80’s / 90’s; Elway, Montana, Favre, Marino for sure. You could make a case for Moon and Kelly but I like Stanford better. Prior to that Staubach, Bradshaw, Namath, Unitas. Tough to compare. Don’t know if Johnny U ever threw any no-looks.
English
My strongest HoF take for the future is how to properly rate the counting stats. There’s more pass attempts now. More yards on offense. Guys play much longer. Lots of players will have incredible stats because of the generation of ball they play in. Imo that doesn’t automatically make them an all time great or top 10 or even a HoFer
English
I don’t get why we can’t celebrate an accomplishment like Stafford winning the MVP without saying things like this. He’s not a top 10 QB of all time.

Bessent: I think we almost reached a SNL moment a few years ago when it was “you’re not going to own anything, you’re going to eat insects.” I mean, it was just—the inmates were running the asylum at that point.

Bessent: Well, I can tell you—after a few days of Swiss German food, I may switch to bugs.

@geoffschwartz Does it matter that McMillan has two hands on the ball when cooks hits the ground. It seems like that’s the thing everybody is missing. If there are four hands on the ball neither has possession until one of them does.
English
I keep wavering on this but sure looks like Cooks has full control of the ball and is “down” before the ball comes out.

@mikegolicjr Obviously talking about Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland and Miami. The raiders need to start everything over.

@mikegolicjr At the end of 08 Denver went 8-8 and lost the division on a tiebreaker after more than a decade of contending. Shanny got fired because the team needed a different voice or whatever. 2 yrs later they finished with 4 wins. Most of these teams just made a big mistake.
English
@richluchette @NFLOfficiating Because McMillan had 2 hands on the ball before cooks hit the ground. Possession hadn’t been established yet
English
Adams catches the ball. Immediately goes down. No “football move.” Bears player rips it out. Refs say Adams is down by contact.
How is this different than the Cooks catch last night @NFLOfficiating?

As you know, I'm not a fan of alien videos, but this one filmed in Colorado in June 2019 remains very disturbing in my opinion for two reasons.
1/ This thing is perfectly white and luminescent. Analysis by ThinkerThunker at 00:31
2/ Its ridiculous gait: In dozens of cases of alien abduction, abductees describe an atypical, bizarre, ridiculous gait by our human standards.

BREAKING: an image has leaked showing Trump using a walker moments after he signed an executive order banning states from regulating AI
English
@realjoshuareid @justinamash You put your “…” in the part where it says it’s only applicable to 9/11
English
The 2001 AUMF doesn’t limit force only to the individuals who physically carried out 9/11.
The actual statutory language authorizes action against “those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks… or harbored such organizations or persons.”
That final clause is why every administration since 2001 — Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden — has legally invoked the AUMF outside Afghanistan. Courts and Congress have repeatedly accepted the “associated forces” doctrine in practice, even if never explicitly defined in the original text.
The key isn’t whether Venezuelan smugglers themselves were at 9/11 — it’s whether a group is legally recognized as an associated terrorist network or combatant entity.
Once the Executive Branch designates a group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, AUMF authority is routinely applied. You may disagree with that scope, but it isn’t invented — it’s the same legal mechanism used for operations in:
•Yemen
•Somalia
•Syria
•Pakistan
•Libya
•Philippines
And many more.
All without new Congressional declarations, because AUMF has served as the umbrella authorization for 23+ years.
Is the AUMF stretched far beyond 2001’s intent?
Probably. Not disagreeing there.
Should Congress update or replace it?
That’s up to them.
But saying it “doesn’t apply” is inaccurate. It has been applied, consistently, under both parties, with judicial and congressional awareness.
We can debate the policy all you want.
But pretending there’s zero statutory basis ignores how U.S. war powers have functioned since 9/11.
English
It’s almost hard to believe the absurd lengths people will go to pretend the 2001 AUMF authorizes the boat-strike military campaign.
It applies specifically to the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. It does not apply to Venezuelan drug runners who through some game of tenuous connections lead us all the way back to 9/11.
This logic would greenlight strikes on anyone with a six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon link to 9/11.
It doesn’t matter that they’re “designated terrorists.” The 2001 AUMF doesn’t care about any executive branch designation; it’s just for the perpetrators of 9/11.
It also doesn’t matter legally that other presidents abused authority. They were wrong too, and I rightly called them out at the time. Their actions don’t become lawful by virtue of having broken the law. That’s nonsensical.
Joshua Reid | Redpills.tv@realjoshuareid
Wrong. Congress DID authorize this campaign — 24 years ago, and it has never been repealed. The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) — passed 420–1 in the House, 98–0 in the Senate — explicitly authorizes the President to use “all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons…” That law has no geographic limit and no sunset clause. The very cartels targeted in today’s SOUTHCOM strikes (Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, Gulf Cartel, Carteles Unidos, Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and Cartel de los Soles) are now officially designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (Feb 20 & Nov 24, 2025). They have documented operational and financial ties to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups that were harboring al-Qaeda in 2001 — making them “associated forces” under two decades of bipartisan executive practice and repeated federal court rulings (Hamdi v. Rumsfeld 2004, etc.). Every President from Bush to Biden used this exact same 2001 AUMF in 22+ countries against groups that didn’t even exist on 9/11. Congress has voted multiple times NOT to repeal or replace it. You can hate the policy. You can think the AUMF should finally be repealed. Until Congress actually does that, these kinetic strikes on FTO vessels in international waters are 100% authorized by existing statute. Facts don’t care about your feelings either, Justin.

@NFLFrascella He didn’t “have” Kyle Orton, he traded Jay Cutler for him on purpose. The year they started 6-0 they finished 8-8. He turned a perennial contender into a 2-14 team. After he was fired they took Von Miller with the resulting #2 pick, which is the only good that came of his tenure.
English
I hate when NFL fans say “he’s a terrible head coach” or “no one should hire him”
based on absolutely nothing
Why wouldn’t you want to hire Josh McDaniels as your head coach?
He had a Broncos team with KYLE ORTON as his starting QB with a 6-0 record to start the year!
With Mac Jones, Patriots Offense looked good and he got Belichick to the Playoffs
Take McDaniels away, Belichick flops out of New England altogether
Now 9-2 working with Vrabel, Drake Maye leading the NFL in passing yards with McDaniels
And I think when he got fired by the Raiders their record was 2-3… well how did they do with Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll?
Which team do you think should hire McDaniels as their next head coach?

@OleTimeHardball The problem with the all the balco guys is if you put any one of them in you gotta put Bonds in and that can never happen because he broke the record nobody was supposed to break. He was better than Ruth and Maris and that’s not allowed.

@geoffschwartz Davis Mills had to go in against the Denver defense last week and had fairly rough go and his practice reps weren’t mentioned.
English
Last comment on the Sanders practice reps story.
If Joe Smith was a 5th rd draft pick who entered training camp 4th string and the regular season third string…
He was elevated to second string when the rookie QB in front of him became the starter. A month later he played in the second half of a game when the starter went out
Do you think anything about whether he got first string practice reps would be discussed? Of course it wouldn’t.
It’s just mind numbing this is actually a story at all.
