Spotts1701, Fighting The Good Fight

So Susan Collins makes a snide remark, Troy Jackson tells her off, and *he* should be the one to apologize for it? As my grandfather used to say - bullshit to that noise.

No, you can’t do this. Your first year Legal Ethics course tells you you can’t do this. - a person with a JD who does not call himself a lawyer

Big "I like spaghetti because my house is made of bricks" energy here.

“I was saying he had a name, not that I knew what it was!”

You have to *have* integrity in order to defend it, sweet cheeks.

5 years old. 🤪🤪

In Major League, one of the Yankees players in the climactic game wears #37. The last Yankees player or coach to wear that number was Casey Stengel and it was retired in 1970, 19 years before the film came out.

When do we get to the part where he promises one tiny little pill that will cure everything forever?

Yeah, that's useful. Thanks for the update, Thom.

Again with the ballroom... Lady, you ain't special. He shows EVERYONE the freakin' hole in the ground where the East Wing used to be.

The Battlestar Galactica remake. It became pretty clear by season 3 that *no one* had a clue where to go with it. Which is ironic because Ronald D. Moore took on the project because he felt Paramount was dong the same thing with Star Trek: Voyager.

Seen a pro-Paxton and an anti-Talarico ad during the NFL game today. It's the Eagles vs. Rams. We don't live in Texas. This seems like a *really* desperate ad buy.

Damn, this slaps...

"Trump Intelligence" is an oxymoron. Emphasis on "moron".

Remember when the right went ballistic when Obama lazily saluted a Marine guard with a coffee cup in his hand? But this half-hearted bullshit is okay?

Definitely a mood.

This is both-sides slop. Republicans control the chamber, which means they control all aspects of the calendar. Dems can show up but they can’t gavel Congress into session.

I’d say this was bribery if I didn’t know it was bullshit.

Fuel efficiency is woke. You’ll drive Canyoneros and love it, peasants!

Hello #Reno #NorthernNevada — The Reno Aces are doing a fundraiser for those affected by the Hawk fire. All proceeds from Wednesday and Thursday night’s games will go directly to those impacted. Please share widely: www.gofevo.com/group/Hawkfire

This has been a really bad month - the Bug Fire (human caused), Fred Mountain Fire (arson) and Stallion Fire (likely human caused) and now the Hawk Fire (probably human caused). About 73 square miles under evacuation orders. University of Nevada under evacuation warning.

"It is unconscionable, frankly, to refer to substantial, serious allegations of spousal and child abuse made against a sitting congressman as a 'private family matter':” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

...This can only get more stupid. The only saving grace is that the Navy is slower than molasses running uphill in January when it comes to design review.

It’s not just the lying. It’s the insult to my intelligence that stings.

Works for me!

Okay. Would you like to go quietly or resist arrest?

He shot 70, because kicks, throws and “lucky” finds don’t count as “shots”.

So Max Miller: 1) Denied the allegations against him 2) Claimed his (soon-to-be-ex)-wife has mental health issues 3) Said this is all just custody battle nonsense He's not dropping out and he'll answer any questions (spoiler: no he wont). Anyone else getting the twitch eye, or is it just me?

New book drop...

Elbows up!

"We"? You're not the one filling up the gas tank, bucko.

Lombardo "used his position and standing as Nevada’s Governor to not only intimidate the officer, but also to unlawfully use his position to secure and grant unwarranted privileges, preferences, exemptions and advantages” Vote for @aarondfordnv.bsky.social Nevada! www.kolotv.com/2026/07/23/r...

They attached a Voter ID poison pill rider to ensure it would fail. 1) Attach unpopular legislation to a proposed anti-kitten stomping bill. 2) Know your opponents won’t vote for it because of the attached legislation. 3) Loudly proclaim your opponents support kitten stomping.

What changed, Congressman? WHAT CHANGED, CONGRESSMAN?!?

Any time you use the word "but" in this context you nullify everything you said prior to that.

I find it darkly hilarious that all the bulletproof glass around Trump makes every time they try to show him on TV impossible because of the glare.

There are always going to be non-citizens on voter rolls in states with automatic voter registration at the DMV. But much like dead people, a non-citizen has committed no crime unless they actually attempt to vote. The Republican Party knows this distinction, but obscures it deliberately.

Look, all I'm saying is that sometimes the gene pool cleans itself up...

Translation - Saudi Arabia and the UAE called him up and told him to knock it off before they really fuck up the oil markets for him.

Been a fun couple days - dad's in the hospital for high blood sugar since Saturday night. It wasn't coming down, even with insulin. Yesterday either a nurse or tech realized they've been giving him a dextrose IV instead of a saline one. For two days. No wonder it hasn't been going down... 😵‍💫

Weird flex, but okay...

Yeah, this is utter bullshit. As someone who handles these investigations we yank any staff member accused of misconduct out of the school and if we can substantiate the allegations we fire them, refer for criminal charges, and report to the state to get their license revoked.

Of course - the Times bruised Mad Lord Yam's widdle feewings, so he's gotta send Kash's goon squad to put those reporters in their place. Never mind anyone with two eyes and functioning critical thinking skills could figure out it takes more than 9 months to turn a 747 into a flying fortress.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So when does the tariff on waffles kick in?

Well when you're managing a team on an 8-game slide, it's probably better to be sitting in the air-conditioned clubhouse anyway.

They have to learn the same lessons over and over. Technology is a tool, but it doesn't replace learned critical thinking skills.

Wouldn't be a Mad Lord Yam ramble without YMCA... Wait, the *Marine Band* is playing it?
