    Got a friend in Seattle who called me today. He is selling his property here in town. He just wants me to keep the grass mowed and trimmed. He then told me that a neighbor across the street has 2 pit bulls. The other day they were loose and attacked his young beagle. His son tried to break it up and they also bit him. 3 other neighbors heard the yelling and screaming and tried to help. They too were also attacked and viciously bitten. He sent me pics and they are hard to look at. The real kicker is that the owner never even tried to apologize. What a straight up asshole. I am sure he will get his ass sued off for his negligence. I hope they nail his ass to the wall. The dogs need to be destroyed along with the owner in my opinion. My friend wasn't there at the time of the attack. If I was there I would have killed both the dogs with my shotgun. The beagle will survive, but has many stitches and staples. Remorseless bastards like the owner are as bad as an SS nazi. 

    What a dirty fucker that one! People can really suck. I would have immediately called animal control. They would have come out, taken the dogs, quarantined them for Rabies, and then likely destroyed them.

    Problem is, there are no bad dogs unless they have a genetic defect, otherwise, its a bad owner. Pit bulls are no more dangerous than any other breed unless they are trained to be aggressive. The problem is, due to the rep Pits have, 90% of Pit owners are assholes who want a killer dog because they want to be "hard."

    IMO, the dogs should be shipped off to shelter which specializes in such cases and the owner should be destroyed since he caused all of this mess.

    Fun Fact told to me by a woman who runs a rescue: When dogs are fighting each other or attacking a human, the best way to stop the attack and disengage the dog is to come up behind the dog, grab its hind legs and jerk. All dogs have a natural instinct to flee when this happens, even trained Pits. Of course that is no easy task when a dog is attacking but if you can get behind Fido, grab legs and pull.

    "Friedkin Uncut"

    Interesting watch.  Knew his movies, but not much about the man himself.  Can't honestly say I liked him after watching.  Directors are a strange breed though.  :'(

    Damn it man, you just made me watch The Exorcist! I have watched that movie at least 15 times over the years but this time I was watching for the composition, the editing, cinematography, etc. This really is a great film, just a beautifully shot movie. The way the film itself was shot, and the actual film stock from that era is just so warm and deep. I really miss the way film looked and was shot in the late 60's-mid 70's. 

    Those movies were art in motion.

    Seriously??? You had to go back to something almost written a month ago??? I meant judge or barrister. You don’t have to go around Trolling / being the grammar police. Find something else to do with your time than trying to find errors / faults with other people like look in your own mirror (work on yourself) You’ll make more friends that way.

    You could have not said that better Sir. Every bit of it I agree with. As Tony Soprano said. What happened to Gary Cooper. The Strong silent type. Like my Father, Grandfather. They were United States Marines.

    Thanks. I will do her right and just take care of things that need to be taken care of. This all came to a head when I took her to her bank (with the girl REALLY not appreciating that) and we got the bank statements going back to October. Lots of shit on there that's very questionable. $1,000 here.........$500 there.........Another $1000, etc. Even had a bill paid to a tire company in West Virginia. I asked my landlady when had she taken a trip to West Virginia? Now we have to get her the hell out of the facility the girl put her in and back home. She also wants to make me joint tenancy right of survivorship because she has no family. That's something she brought up that I never heard of. I've been a renter all my life. I just want to make sure for now that all the property taxes and mortgage are paid and keep the utility bills current. 

    Be careful about the deed on the house because as you stated, if the home is paid off but she is behind on taxes or anything else, you would then be on the hook as joint tenancy w right of survivorship has the property go to you upon death. Or if she has a reverse mortgage that could be a real nightmare. I would suggest to her if she wants her home to go to something after her passing she pick a local charity or church and will the property to them. She sounds like a very sweet lady but god knows what her prior POA was doing. I would immediately do a title search on the home plus check the tax records and find out if she has an outstanding mortgage or other encumbrances upon the home. I would not be surprised if the prior POA took out a home equity line of credit or some other scandalous nonsense.

    I am now officially my landlady's durable power of attorney. She booted the other girl (so-called 'friends' for 15 years) after she took lots of money from her, and most likely appeared to be trying to finagle her house and property from her. Tsk! Tsk! 

    Alright, now you call adult protective services, slip the caseworker a Benjamin and have her declared mentally unsound. Then seize her banking funds, sell her house, and toss her into some fleabag state run facility.

    WINNING!!!!!

    Just kidding. You're a good man Red, the world needs more people like you willing to step up and protect the vulnerable. This world can be a cold place and there are shitbirds with zero empathy or conscience willing to screw over the most vulnerable among us and not lose a single night sleep. It reminds me of the scene in Ozark where Ruth visits her dad in prison. Ruth does not want to kill Marty but her father tells her there are different species of humans and it is only natural for the smart and strong to kill the weak and stupid. This is how scumbags rationalize their dealings.

    There's a crazy, homeless woman in town. They fenced off an area to keep her out because it started looking like her own private garbage dump. Now she is in a doorway a couple blocks from me. They run her out once the weekend is over, but she always has cigarettes, beer and a cell phone. I don't even want to get near her to see if she has any tats. They sprout up like mushrooms. 

    This is the nonsense I speak of. The solution here is simple, get her into a mental treatment facility, get her stable, and if she has no family find her a group home. This actually saves money in the long-term over this band-aid shit they keep doing. Hawaii does this with their homeless and it has saved the state millions.

    Now those jerkoffs who are perfectly fine can kiss my ass! Get a job!

    When I was younger and was short on cash you know what I did not buy? I did not buy alcohol, I did not go out with the ladies or my friends, I did not buy anything I did not need to survive. You suck it up until you can afford those luxuries. If you are sane and physically capable you need to take care of yourself and not expect others to supplement your unnecessary bullshit.

    I remember this time when a very healthy, very in shape (dude was pretty buff), guy of around 25 was panhandling and asked me for money. This guy's hair was immaculately groomed but the guy was wearing hobo clothes with the exception of a new pair of Nike's. Told him to F-off and when he said I was a heartless prick I told him if he is gonna beg for money, best not be wearing a $150 pair of new Nike's and sporting a $60 haircut. Guy huffed and walked away. Just another lazy scam artist.

    we're raising tens of millions of over-tattooed vegan men

    😄

    Joeybtoonz shows a lot of that. 

    and on that topic, damn does it piss me off to see people all tattoo'ed up complaining they have no money and begging for cash. WTF? One of those tat's cost several hundred clams, you're covered in them, and you have the balls to ask for loot? FFS, if you are healthy enough to get those tat's, you are healthy enough to get a JOB.

    See, that's the conservative in me poking out.

    This country doesn't raise men like that anymore. No, we're raising tens of millions of over-tattooed vegan men who like wearing clothes on weekends that make them feel pretty.

    What's wrong Steve, jealous? I'm sure you are very pretty too, you only need to believe 🙂

    No, no one I know wants to return to ultra redneck Alabama.
    Grab a handle Dobbs, Birmingham, and most large American cities I believe are governed by Dems.
    Pretty much regressing.

    Dobbs: "they say they are pro life but abandon that life once born."
    My taxes say otherwise, but damn man!,  aren't the sperm donors the one's abandoning?

    I probably see close to you on personal freedom. 
    Don't fuck with me for no reason and all's cool.

    It's not a "white power thing."
    I believe you're out of bounds here.

     

    Thanks for quoting me twice, that was inspiring 🙂

    I believe it is a white power thing, how can you think otherwise when Proud Boys and other WP groups are protesting and causing trouble? Trump was not stating white people from white countries were rapists and drug dealers coming from shithole countries, he was talking about brown and black. As almost half the nation voted for the guy well, you bought it, you must like it. Don't even get me on the repeat of the 1868 southern state elections disgrace also known as the Brown confirmation hearings. If that was not the single most racist and disgusting pantomime nothing is. Not a single repub questioned her on actual case law, or cases she presided over outside of her supposed "soft on pedophile" nonsense. Every ruling on those cases was in line with what all other judges were doing, even republican judges. That I don't even understand as they could have easily questioned her about her actual record which shows she is anything but an originalist which is the wet dream of all republican legislators. That's what really get's me goat, even when they have real provable concern, they go with the dancing monkey show instead. Why? Do they believe the American people are that dim that they have to turn to Tic-Tok absurdism to keep them enthralled? Now that's sad. 

    Whatever happened to the Eisenhower Republicans? The William F. Buckley's who could debate policy and substantiative issues with the best of them? Those were great men. Great men who are not spinning in their graves like a dreidel spun by Meth-head Mike. I would vote for an Eisenhower republican over any current dem and that's a fact.

    No Steve, not Liberal. Libertarian. The war on drugs has sure saved us. Old Nancy Regans “just say no” worked well. I am saying that maybe we need to go another way with it. The last 50 years have worked wonders on the prison system and families throughout the country. 
     

    Or let’s just make this country white again. I mean great again. Alright, I’m going to go watch Seinfeld

     

    You have a great day Steve. 

    100% truth

    The fact is, a large contingent want's to return to exactly how things were in say, Alabama circa 1950 but they dance around their true thoughts and motives with nonsense. They hate government but the increase government to regulate human behavior while eliminating regulation of corporate behavior. They say they are pro life but abandon that life immediately once born. They claim support of personal freedoms until those freedoms are in conflict with their idea how a person should live their life.

    I guess I would just shake my head at such white power, classist rhetoric, but when these people scream about social programs and how the poor need to "get their shit together" while having zero issue with the wealthy and corporations taking government handouts in the tens of billions, it's disgusting.

    What's ironic is these dopes never learn form history and what eventually happens when a particular "group" hordes everything. Ye olde guillotine time that's what.

    That is the problem with human nature, the shit always seems to rise to the top. And now, a word from our sponsor...

    Totally off the top of my head, im gonna thro in something i did not even bother to look into

    likely im wrong  however i for some reason  I thought Hitlers version of the word may have been spelled with an E, idk if thats even a word ? 

    = Arien  ,  if any1 looks into it & im correct , pls advise , ty

    but what do i know ,

    👉🏼 Im no “GRAMMAR NAZI”  😅!

    pretty clever !? Eh?   = Hitler / Nazi

     

     

     

    I think you mean the word Aryan which refers to the long gone original inhabitants of what is now eastern Iran and north-western Afghanistan. Hitler and the Thule Society believed the Aryan race were a race of supermen who migrated from this region over 2,500 years ago to what is now Germany & the Scandanavian countries. Hitler so believed this nonsense he sent countless German anthropologists to Iran, Afghanistan, & India in search of artifacts from these peoples.

    Ps. They found jack shit because its all a load of bullshit.

    Robert's use of the word Arian is old Welsh and means "silver one." It also means son of god, or one made of the same substance of god but not god itself in old Latin.

    If I have this right, Zep played a prank on Phil Carson by ditching him mid song in a Japan 1971 show. Does anyone know the show and song where this occurred? I tried finding it once, to no avail, but I'm sure I just wasn't patient enough. Apparently they got booed for it and kinda is one of their few professional stage regrets.  Anyways, I'm hoping to hear this happen. Does anyone know these fine details?

    How does one ditch someone mid-song? Did they just exit the stage in the middle of the song leaving Carson all by his lonesome on-stage? 

    Sorry, but this makes no sense.

    What's the alternative, genius? Anything goes? If you can't tell the difference between passing a law that mandates you must carry health insurance and passing a law that makes it illegal to sell heroin I can't help you.   

    There you go again Steve, making assumptions.

    I never said people should be forced to carry health insurance for themselves. In fact I am 100% Medicare for all with no co-pays. Reason why is Medicare is outcome based, not profit based. Currently you go i for knee replacement surgery under private insurance and if the good doc screws up, well, your insurance will pay the idiot doctor for another surgery. Medicare does not allow that. Under Medicare the doctor would have to perform the new surgery at no cost since he / she screwed up. Medicare for all would cost around half of what private for profit insurance currently costs the people, that's a fact because, well, all those insurance related costs would be gone and doctors would actually be forced to do their jobs correctly the first time just like it is everywhere else on the planet.

    Regarding heroin, use was at an all time low until the pharma companies stepped in and became the opioid dealers to the country. Then after the good docs and the pharma industry hooked all those people the cut off the teet which resulted in those people seeking out heroin. Supply and demand baby, free market economics 101. We cannot create a problem and then blame those who become addicts. Personal responsibility is one thing, going to a board certified doctor who is no better than Corn-Pop on the corner is the fault of the system, not the user or rather, victim of that system. But to answer your question, no, heroin should not be illegal, nor should it be legal, it should be decriminalized as it is in Portugal which has the lowest rate of overdoses, and has the lowest overall usage rates of opioids as a result of this policy. In fact, any laws prohibiting drugs are a direct violation of the US constitution if one is an originalist in the interpretation of the constitution which has always been a major argument and brings me to another point. I find it ironic the right wants originalist interpretation of the constitution when it fits their needs but then wants new law contrary to the constitution when that fits their needs. Again, more hypocrisy from the right. Then again I can't stand most dems either so, there's that.

    As Plant77 said this blue team red team nonsense needs to stop. If we don't learn to work together we simply cannot succeed.

    ON THE BEACH-2.jpg

    Now there's a positive thought :hysterical:

    Though if I live to see the end of the human race, I would prefer to do it on a beach with a pina colada in one hand and a head full of Ayahuasca. A sweet honey like Ava Gardner by my side would be a nice bonus. Go out with a bang if ya know what I mean 😉

    If he really gets serious about escalating toward WW3 - I am sure his military will be looking for an "out" rather than end the world. Everyone dead doesn't really lend itself to everyone doing their bit and following the "kill everyone including yourselves and all loved ones" commands.

    Yeah, the west needs to be more aggressive.

    This is my hope as well, the generals simply realize WWIII would be game over so they just disobey orders and oust him. It still gives me pause though.

    So....

    I'm not trying to get in trouble or throw a molotov at the bee hive like in that movie ("The Bees"(?) (kid hides under the bin sweating like mad after throwing the molotov. Great scene...)

    But....

    Should there be a thread about Ukraine/the war?

    I'll assume not for the appalling and sad shitshow it is likely a chance to turn into - not to mention it's maybe against policy. (not sure, won't risk it)

    So, random thought on the subject....

    So Russia fucked phase one.

    Will [NATO|US] match Putin's aggression, and will the west stand for what the west actually lives and breathes and commonly believe in? The system whereby you are free to go nuts within your thoughts/actions and general "approach to things" as long as they don't fuck anyone else up. At least as a starting point of what things "should be" in a free democratic, open market system - or the best variance or upgrade of that system.

    Or is it Putin's logic?

     

    Putin rightly represents the worst option now in my opinion. (worst for all)

    Didn't always, but does now.

    Bottom line is we are fucked by Russia unless the FSB steps in and takes him out. The guy is nuts and is threatening nuclear war if we or NATO gets involved so it places the world in a no-win situation.
