Ryder Cup rudeness: Robert Heinlein quote FTW

A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.

What if this unfounded Internet rumor were true, it might explain a lot

It’s not just the Mango Mussolini in the Epstein files…… it’s a Supreme Court justice….or two!

And their whole house of cards comes crashing down. It would explain the full court press for not releasing the truth. It would explain a lot of SCOTUS decisions.

GOP the Guardians of Pedophiles

The title of this thread may shock some, but I am old enough to remember that in 2016, the former Speaker of the House, the longest Republican Speaker, and the highest elected US official to serve a prison sentence was…..


An admitted and convicted sexual abuser of young boys.

Hiding and protecting pedos is their brand. They’ve had a lot of success doing this in their churches.

No Kings in Gulfport, MS

On vacation in the Deep South. We went to the No Kings Day protest in Gulfport, MS. This place is so red Jeff Davis’ House is a local “tourist spot.”

Wonderful crowd. Many signs protesting fascism specifically. Local news reports a crowd of 500+. Nope! Closer to 1000!

Yes!!!!!!!

Homage to the "tip of the spear"

I wrote the story below in a thread asking to explain your DU name. Rather than bury it at the bottom of a thread I thought it deserved its own.



It’s the summer of 1940. The German army had just kicked the shit out of both the French and British armies and France had fallen. The Allies had no answer for the German blitzkreig and were totally outclassed by German armor.

Hitler was ready to invade England and if he had moved his panzer corps across the English Channel that country would have fallen to the Nazis.

There was just one problem: If you couldn’t control the air your troops would be defenseless on the beaches. So, the Germans needed to defeat the RAF, and in September of 1940 they came close to doing just that.

But the RAF held firm and saved England in her darkest hour. “Never has so much been owed by so many to so few.” ~ Winston Churchill

The “tip of the spear” was the most decorated RAF unit: 303 Squadron. This was a unit of Polish fighter pilots who fled Poland after it fell. The Polish Air Force in the 1930’s was one of the best trained air forces in the world with requirements of many more flight hours before a pilot could earn his wings than pilots in other air forces.

Initially defeated in the air over Poland with antiquated fighter planes, the 303 Squadron was given Hawker Hurricanes with the RAF. Polish pilots, knowing full well of the systematic killing of their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers by the Nazis fearlessly pressed home their attacks on German planes, getting closer to them than their English counterparts.

303 Squardon shot down or damaged more German planes than any other RAF squadron.

I’m not related to any of those brave men. I am related to too many people who never made it out of Auschwitz……and I fucking hate Nazis and their Nazi thinking.

My name here is an homage to the tip of the spear!

Feel free to meme this for social media

This or some variation:

Us: “Elon Musk makes antisemitic remarks.”
Them: “Well that’s just an opinion which he is free to express.”

Us: “Elon Musk supports the right winged German neo Nazi party.”
Them: “Doesn’t make him a Nazi. He’s just trying to preserve conservative values.”

Us: “ Elon does the Nazi salute.”
Them: “That is his first amendment right of free speech nothing more.”

Us:” Elon says that Hitler didn’t kill millions.”
Them: “Why are you obsessing over fascism. All of us on this side agree there are no Nazis here.”

And so it goes!
