Didn't take him long to get what's really on his mind. I'm not just saying that as a knock. Turds' fascination with gay sex acts (from a presumed heterosexual) runs right through these threads.

Hans's last bunch of appearances were pathetic, but someone with access to the entire DR word horde over the years could do some great Big Data text searches and see who the real sik --- are around here.

COVID boosters? Everyone who wants one should be able to get them. F--- the rest of y'all.

Wow. Someone is waking up to intersectionality. Seems Floyd's death had some effect.

Damn site editors.

Ehh, HFCS.

Americans are sicker than ever due to generations of using food and beverage products designed to destroy the human body, with advertising and propaganda to back up such consumption.

Let's look at the quality of health, by whatever determinant, since HCFS (1986?) was introduced. And that's just for starters.

3. It was great in 1987. By 1994 the yanquis had made awful inroads. Tearing up the hillsides for lodging, etc.

Wife and I spent our honeymoon at El Ocotal, Guanacaste province, on the western coast. Unbelievable. Seven years later . . . well, you can never change the view.

1994 I was pulled over by the local police for speeding, who motioned with rifles for me to open the trunk. Looking for Nicaraguans, we were told.

Pay per view: Feliz Enrique vs. Mike Tyson.

Meals came off the Qatar gift plane. Might as well use them.

More FTA.

While the top 25 on the list were invited to an "ultraexclusive private VIP reception," it appeared that the president only spent a short amount of time at the event and didn't even stick around to hand out prizes to the top purchasers of his cryptocurrency.

Hand out prizes.

If they are used properly, which isn't often, semicolons are quite useful.

From the Chicago Manual of Style

6: Punctuation
6.60: Use of the semicolon
Chapter Contents / Semicolons

In regular prose, a semicolon is most commonly used between two independent clauses not joined by a conjunction to signal a closer connection between them than a period would. (For the similar use of a colon, see 6.65.)

She spent much of her free time immersed in the ocean; no mere water-resistant watch would do.
Though a gifted writer, Miqueas has never bothered to master the semicolon; he insists that half a colon is no colon at all.
Note that many fiction authors consider semicolons to be unnatural in dialogue and may also object to their use in narrative; editors should resist adding any in such contexts without consulting the author. For the use of the semicolon in index entries, see 15.17, 15.104. For its use in parenthetical text citations, see 13.124. For its use with a second subtitle of a work, see 13.92.

6: Punctuation
6.64: Semicolons in a complex series
Chapter Contents / Semicolons

When items in a series themselves contain internal punctuation, separating the items with semicolons can aid clarity. If ambiguity seems unlikely, commas may be used instead (see 6.19). See also 6.140. Note that when a sentence continues beyond a series (as in the third example below), no additional semicolon is required.

The membership of the international commission was as follows: France, 4; Germany, 5; Great Britain, 1; Italy, 3; United States, 7.
The defendant, in an attempt to mitigate his sentence, pleaded that he had recently, on doctor's orders, gone off his medications; that his car -- which, incidentally, he had won in the late 1970s on Let's Make a Deal -- had spontaneously caught fire; and that he had not eaten for several days.
Marilynn, Sunita, and Jared, research assistants; Carlos, programming consultant; and Carol, audiovisual editor, provided support and prepared these materials for publication.

She decided to buy three watches: an atomic watch for travel within the United States, a solar-powered, water-resistant quartz for international travel, and an expensive self-winding model for special occasions.

They say Eisenhower was largely diminished due to a stroke in his last eighteen months. Then in his Farewell Address, he gave a warning totally unheeded over the last 60 years: the military-industrial complex speech. Not bad for the conservative-imagined "brain dead."

First saw him at the Wagner College gym (Staten Island, NY); next year was Carnegie Hall.

Hadn't thought about it, but some of those big Farmers for Trump signs in my area have come down.

Headline sounds a lot like Trumpist projection.

Boaz's daily way to avoid yesterday's discussion.

Something tells me Boaz couldn't name half the countries in Africa -- just like the vast majority of white America, except for academics and world geography students.

Much better "America."

Maybe over there Kushner can avoid the guillotine.

If you think an athlete has better doctors than the president of the United States, I can only think that you are on a double-dose of stupid pills.

Are you kidding? They do right now. Even college athletes. Probably some trans volleyballers or wrestlers too, while I'm at it. Not to mention people on death row.

Remember Frank Zappa. Dead of prostate cancer, age 52.

37. Many of your comments and arguments seem so bizarre, how am I to tell what you really think? When challenged too much, you claim you're never returning ... for about 20 minutes.

I take you at your word, frightening as it sometimes is.

Hey...I'm Protestant.

Hey, I'm one of the 5.5 billion people on Earth who don't really care at all about Jesus's status and certainly don't think he was God. But that doesn't mean that most of the 2.5 billion Christians get to try to have their way with everyone else, Catholics or Protestants.

If it weren't for Catholics, there wouldn't be Protestants, and what really has the Reformation accomplished? A few thousand more schisms? Yippee.

It's hard to take moral advice on sex and reproduction from someone who's never experienced either.

Dumb argument.

If he's never been to war or led an army, does that make him ineligible to comment on it from a moral perspective?

Should I take moral advice from a 50-year-old prostitute, with decades of experience?

"[Clinton] keeps on stealing our ideas," they shouted in anger.

Really? Clinton and Gingrich were making policy together while taking hummers from 21-year-olds in White House anterooms. And Gingrich at that time was giving the GOP its marching orders. "Trump is a 1990's style Democrats - that is why I vote for him." Guessing you voted for Gore/Lieberman, too, huh?

Clinton in retrospect was a pretty crappy president, perhaps worst of all for destroying generations of predominantly poor and Black/Brown families by encouraging a massive surge in their incarceration.

Sounds like a GOP policy to me, now that you mention it.

Maybe Republicans can work their way back to their 1956 RNC platform.
