Portayianni, like you would know. mspart

Where do I sign up? mspart

I am giving here my intent to crash the party and enter the WTTs as a competitor. After WTTs I might have 1 or 2 arms less than I have now, but it will be worth it. They will let me in right? mspart

Ironic isn't it? mspart

Any medallist losing would be a huge upset. But that's why they hold these events. mspart

Maybe so. He should cough it up. mspart

You got that right. Better when played at maximum volume!! mspart

The rumor is all true. mspart

In the end it is his decision and he will have to live with it. Maybe it was a good decision. Maybe he would have been terribly injured. One can't know. As long as he is happy with the decision, that is what matters. mspart

I agree, the decision to leave was not horrific. The execution of that decision was. mspart

You know, he could have waited and got all the munitions out. Or he could have started getting all of the munitions out some time in advance. Perhaps he knew Taliban were closing in and that is why he rushed the schedule and they were just not ready for the evacuation. Whatever it was, it was a horrible fiasco that they did fall on their sword for but have never fessed up to the reality of the dismal failure of an operation that it was. mspart

That makes a horrific decision palatable? mspart

There you go. I love that song. Great tune and great intro. Farner was on his A game that day. mspart

It all sounds great until it doesn't. Gun control - Now only criminals have the guns because they don't care about the law. How many crimes have been committed by law abiding citizens? None. Oh, and here in Seattle, if you do a crime with a gun, they waive the gun charge. Yep, that is correct. You can illegally use a weapon and not pay a cost for it legally. Like they want the bad guys to have guns and use them. Defund police. Now crime is rampant in every big city in America. Don't prosecute - Now crime is rampant in every big city in America. Criminals stay on the street even if arrested. WA - Police cannot chase cars - Result is there are faster speeds on the roads and a rapid rise of car theft. Oh, and the thieves are not apprehended or prosecuted so they stay on the street. I really just want these politicians to have their car stolen or something similar and the police can't do a thing for them. I don't want them physically hurt, just bearing the brunt of their policies that others are living with everyday due to their indifference. These all sound good, until they don't. And by then it is tough to put the genie back in the bottle. mspart

Yeah? What did you say? mySQL and wordpress? No comprendo hoss. mspart

You can't go back. mspart

I'm not at all sure that is true. mspart

I'm agreein' to all that. mspart

You know, I am over Ryan Reynolds. Plays the same character in every movie, like Tom Cruise. I think he is typecast by now. Anyway, not really a fan. Kevin Hart voice over would be really funny potentially. mspart

I don't think there is a video but Grand Funk's Creepin' is pretty good listening. Off their We're an American Band album. mspart

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/mccaul-blinken-contempt-defy-subpoena-afghanistan-cable McCaul moves toward holding Blinken in contempt for again defying subpoena by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter | May 12, 2023 10:25 AM A top House Republican is moving closer to holding Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt after he again refused to comply with a subpoena demanding the State Department hand over a July 2021 dissent cable from the United States Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has argued since late 2021 that the Biden administration has been stonewalling his investigations into the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. An aide for the House Foreign Affairs Committee told the Washington Examiner on Friday that the State Department “has once again failed to comply with the subpoena,” and so McCaul will now work with his fellow committee members “to pursue holding Secretary Blinken in contempt of Congress.” McCaul is fed up with Blinken repeatedly refusing to hand over an internal dissent cable that was signed by two dozen U.S. Embassy members in Kabul and sent to the State Department in mid-July 2021, just over a month before the Taliban took Kabul. The dissent cable is known to have criticized the State Department’s planning for the evacuation and warned that Kabul could collapse soon after the U.S. troop withdrawal. What is Blinken blinking for? We all know and have been told many times that this was the most orderly and wonderful evacuation of a war zone ever in the history of mankind, never mind what you saw live when it was happening. mspart

Penultimate's almost the last word. mspart

My black lab would attack the raccoons, jump on top of them. Yes, he had deep scratches and all that, but he got the property rid of raccoons. mspart

One would think! Getting any international experience one would think. mspart

What was their experience like? mspart
