I think it's a pretty cool avatar, actually.

ps. picresize doesn't work for gifs apparently, just google how to resize/compress gifs and you'll figure it out

ok but all the jokes aside, if you're ok with the ****ty quality of my avatar you can have it

OccultHawk 11-08-2020 03:55 PM

I want it.

And I have a method of figuring it out. I ask for help


And say please

Thanks!

See? There’s more than one way to skin a cat!

Marie Monday 11-08-2020 04:04 PM

You just got lucky that I went through the trouble of resizing it for the sake of a joke.

Notice how the avatar gifs of all our own posts are syncing, but my avatar is out of sync compared to yours. Trippy.

He’s in a lot of pain and the reason why is because he’s a closeted homosexual in South Carolina. He needs to come out and retire and have some peace. He’s a dangerous politician but get him away from that and maybe he’d receive some forgiveness for all his hateful political ways and he could maybe heal. He’s sick.

Well, maybe he does have conflicts. I don't know what life is like in South Carolina, but it seems an odd excuse for a guy in 2020 when so much progress has been made towards LBGT acceptance and rights - although not, incidently, thanks to Graham himself:-

Quote:

Graham voted to support a constitutional amendment opposing marriage between same-sex couples in 2006. He said "I believe in the traditional definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. Traditional marriage is an institution worth protecting and this amendment will accomplish that goal. A constitutional amendment is the only effective way to cut off the growing trend among judges to create a constitutional right to same-sex marriage."[141]
I don't want to fall into a conspiracy trap, but I wonder if Graham's legendary U-turn is a consequence of being blackmailed about his hidden sexuality:-

Quote:

He was an outspoken critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy and repeatedly declared he did not support Trump;[15] in particular, he took issue with Trump's comments on Graham's close friend, Senator John McCain.[16] After a March 2017 meeting with Trump, Graham became a staunch ally of the president, often issuing public statements in his defense. His reversal caught both parties by surprise and sparked much media attention

Nah, I wouldn't resize an avatar for you just because you're nice. You're right in an indirect way though; I usually tease people I like, and I created the avatar to tease you. I only realised afterwards that I had accidentally done the work you wanted me to do and basically played myself

Biden's not even in the house yet and the gays got all the power while the liberals are getting lazier.

OccultHawk 11-09-2020 11:14 AM



This is an extremely problematic position and very difficult to argue against.

But there’s no evidence of widespread fraud.

Let the courts decide.

Either you believe the courts are fair and just or you don’t. If you don’t how do make that case? You can’t. It’s checkmate. The argument that courts are partisan is on its face no more or less absurd than the state run elections and local polling stations aren’t partisan.

OccultHawk 11-09-2020 03:28 PM



Kill democracy by accusing the other side of killing democracy. Hall of mirror politics.

Don’t even try to tell me this is nothing to worry about.

^ Hi, Bat - sorry for the interruption here, but just want to apologize for my rude reply to you on this thread the other day. I took your comment personally and totally overreacted. I appreciate your not striking back at the time. Thanks - and again, I'm sincerely sorry about the whole thing.

The Batlord 11-09-2020 04:21 PM

It's very gracious of you to admit I was right.

Marie Monday 11-09-2020 04:28 PM

It's actually Zero who is a supporting character in the Mega Man X series of games (before starring in the Mega Man Zero series) which was a sequel series to the original Mega Man series.

Why the firing of Mark Esper is just the start of a very wild 72 days

Quote:

he opposed using the military to crack down on sometimes-violent protests that broke out in major American cities following the death of George Floyd in May

https://www.brookings.edu/podcast-ep...iew_id=1184085

Quote:

one concern people have had is whether Trump was doing this to somehow
get ready to invoke martial law and create some kind of pretext to annul the election, or something that
seems crazy, but we’ve seen these sorts of concepts discussed before in regards to Mr. Trump’s
unwillingness to abide by normal procedure and to accept the outcome of the elections. So, your mind
naturally goes toward worst-case thinking like that,


......

Neither of these authors seem to believe that firing Esper is a move to stay in power but the theory is acknowledged in both.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is endorsing President Donald Trump’s fight to hold onto his job, floating the idea that GOP-controlled legislatures in battleground states won by Democratic nominee Joe Biden could appoint Trump electors and override the popular vote.
DeSantis, one of Trump’s close Republican allies, declared Thursday on Laura Ingraham’s show on Fox News he would stand with Trump as the president’s re-election chances dimmed. He urged viewers to donate to Trump’s legal fund and suggested people living in battleground states with GOP legislatures, specifically Michigan and Pennsylvania, contact their state lawmakers who could provide “remedies.”

The head of the branch of the justice department that prosecutes election crimes resigned monday hours after attorney general william barr issued a memo to federal prosecutors to investigate “specific allegations” of voter fraud before the results of the presidential race are certified.

Richard pilger, who was director of the election crimes branch of the doj, sent a memo to colleagues that suggested his resignation was linked to barr’s memo, which was issued as the president’s legal team mount baseless legal challenges to the election results, alleging widespread voter fraud cost him the race.

He's rich. It sorta gives him an advantage.

Exo 11-10-2020 08:04 PM

I know it's beating a dead horse at this point but the state of politics and government in this country is fucking apalling. Fucking Biden, a dude I'm not even that excited about, wins the MOTHER FUCKING ELECTION, and these piece of shit henchmen think they can just say "nuh uh i don't wanna". It's a travesty on American ideals and culture, which I admit isn't that much of anything to be proud of in the first place, but what minuscule amount of pride I have left in this country is starting to evaporate into the fucking air.

I'm honestly starting to understand OH levels of disdain and rage lately. Sometimes I just want these people to be dead. Like, just, just fucking go away Rick DeSantis.

Exo 11-10-2020 08:11 PM

If you played a game of billiards at a bar for $50 and the loser just straight up refuses to admit he lost even though he f*cking straight up just lost plain as day...that dude gets a cue over the head. Every. Time.

It's just such a prissy bitch move to lose an election and just flat out say "nope" to the process that has taken place since this country was born.

It's pathetic.

OccultHawk 11-10-2020 08:15 PM

It’s also a prissy move not to do what it takes to collect that $50.

Unfortunately there are no "double or nothing" scenarios in American politics or at the very least election results.

Also, you're poor. You're very biased against collecting $50.
